Tackling the Facility is tough, but it can be easier with the help of powerful gear, such as laser weapons. However, these pieces of equipment need laser energy to function as intended. So, avoid running out of laser energy in Abiotic Factor with the Laser Collector, and we're here to help you craft and use it properly.

What is the Laser Collector in Abiotic Factor?

The Laser Collector is a deployable object with the same function as the Charging Stations found throughout the Abiotic Factor map. Thanks to its portability, players can package and redeploy the Laser Collector relatively anywhere, as long as it has a nearby power source. Once placed, and with sufficient energy, this object can charge items that require laser energy to function, like the Deatomizer and Laser Katana. Note: Some players may experience the Laser Collector not charging items. However, this error should be fixed with the release of Hotfix v1.0.0.20513.

Laser Collector Crafting Recipe

Abiotic Factor players can craft the Laser Collector using 2x Photon Receptor, 2x Projection Matrix, 1x Memory Brick, and 1x Night Essence at the Crafting Bench. Find the Photon Receptor in the Hydroplant, particularly on the walls of the Neutrino Detector. As for the Projection Matrix, craft it using 1x Anteverse Gem, 1x Optic Lens, 2x Stapler, and 2x Liquid Crystal at the Crafting Bench. Craft the Memory Brick using 3x Case Fan, 2x Military Electronics, 1x Projection Matrix, and 1x Jailbroken CPU at the Crafting Bench. Then, expose a Reaper to X-rays before defeating it to receive the Night Essence.

How to Use the Laser Collector

The Laser Collector requires a power source to function and charge items. One example is the energy from the Laser Emitter, which players can craft at the Crafting Bench using 1x Photon Receptor, 1x Projection Matrix, and 1x Energy Brick. You can find the location and crafting recipe of the Photon Recceptor and Project Matrix in the previous section. Craft the Energy Brick using 1x Power Supply Unit, 1x Circuit Board, 1x Tech Scrap, and 1x Case Fan at the Crafting Bench. Once crafted, place the Laser Emitter near the Laser Collector. Next, equip the item you want to charge in your hotbar and select it. With the item in hand, interact with the Laser Collector to recharge its energy storage. Note that the Laser Collector has a battery that requires charging through the Laser Emitter. A full charge should take about 8 minutes and 30 seconds. It’s also important to mention that crafting and placing additional Laser Emitters won’t increase the Laser Collector’s charging speed. Redeploying a packaged Laser Collector also doesn’t need a Screwdriver, as of the Dark Energy Update.
