Name: lasers, gas, and plasma oh my!
Describtion: We need some more end game IC machines, I presently have a HV system spanning 1000+ blocks delivering power from a network of wind, solar, nuclear and water reactors (I actually built 3 water towers, they look cool.) and storing power in 9 MFSU's with diamond to spare. At this point I have a constant supply of power to anything and I'm sure I'm not alone, I want something to use it on.
Even something as simple as flashy arcs of lightning on some building, or a laser that consumes tons of power, maybe a new type of furnace, the plasma furnace, smelts 4x as fast as the electro-furnace but requires a constant feed of power, otherwise it has a long warm up sequence you have to wait through prior to using it. maybe new gaseous resources requiring a gas harvester to extract from the air. Different things could be found at different levels, but the harvesters would require constant power and return relatively low yields. Near bedrock Halogen vapor could be rarely collected for things like chemically treated advanced alloy plates, or chemically treated iron, higher up from general underground space to about 30 above surface level nothing should really be found except hydrogen, whose only real purpose is to either be burned raw for fuel or mixed with compressed coal for a more potent fuel. Any higher and Helium starts showing up for use in crafting the plasma furnace or powering a laser. A laser shined on a solar panel should return roughly 90% of the energy put into it.

Uses for chemically treated Advanced alloy:
Make Reinforced stone+ / glassx8 instead of x6
glass with higher yields 1:8 and reinforced stone with a new darker appearance
Could replace Reinforced stone in the laser blueprint.
