    Run the photons through heated FILT therefore your running the photons through the heat itself.

    Catelite:


    ...I think now. It's as efficient as it can -possibly- be. It piles straight through anything that melts, even solid NTCT. :3

    NTCT? it even burn BTRY the most strong solid after DMND lolz spwn and other shit

    FILT does not conduct heat to photons. It's specifically coded not to.

    ...Besides that, the photons already travel through heated, deactivated powered clone, which is a very very very fast heat conductor.

    Very nice!

    It goes through BTRY =D!

    I actually have made one that is actually stronger, and smaller:


    Pixel Count:
    Mine
    859 up to 867
    Yours
    1380 up to 1384

    The particle count doesn't work on yours, because it doesn't include the wall, so here is the math to show you that I am not lying about your laser's particle count...

    740 up to 744 (without photons)
    740 + 40 blocks of wall
    740 + 40(16 pixels per wall)
    740 + 640
    1380 (up to 1384)


    Our lasers are both the same heat, but mine has a larger beam, because I made 4 category 2* beams vertically and then bounced them 90 degrees to make them into 8 category 1 beams. Yours on the other hand is only 4 category 1 beams.

    So, mine is stronger and smaller, but yours is still awesome, because it is still very strong :) ...

    *Note
    Categories:
    1 (Regular) = Photon then 2 spaces: - _ _ - _ _ - _ _
    2 (Double) = 2 Photons then 1 space: - - _ - - _ - - _
    3 (Solid) = 3 photons in a solid beam: - - - - - - - - -

    But for some reason photons conduct to FILT? Whenever I try to make a freeze ray, even with GOL, the photons heat the FILT and it ends up boiling the water.

    PHOTs spawn at 922
    they don't lose enough heat, perhaps?

    I did a test to prove that mine is stronger:
    I made a NTCT block that was 14 wide and 58 tall...
    I then timed how long it took each laser to melt a hole through it. I did this 10 times for each laser and found the average time.
    Now you are probably saying that timing isn't accurate because of the differences in fps, well I went frame by frame and timed it by how many frames it took from when it first touches the NTCT till it melted all the way through.
    Here were the results:

    Catelite's: 28.4 Frames
    Mine: 24.5 Frames

    One other point is that mine didn't just go faster, but it also made a larger hole.

    ...Why are you counting wall blocks in the particle count. >_>;

    Also. Yours doesn't shoot more photons but simply has them further apart. In cutting through NTCT, it's actually somewhat slower due to how the photons bounce around and the dropping lava reflects them. On top of that, FILT does not conduct heat from photons. They're being directly heated by the GOL. :P

    ...I might add, if you notice how many layers of PCLN are in my laser, the exact distribution of photons in the laser's beam means peanuts to how many photons are actually contained within it. <_<
