You can place blocks between the base and the drills and it will stick work:

Also I tried changing which ores the laser generates but now it's only generating vanilla ores, am I doing something wrong or is it bugged?

Try this version for the ores, I might derped a bit. https://mega.nz/#!u0ZhjLxI!lZCIOI1AuJITbT69mHfO4YbDY32iB95Ilyi_FN8LhY8

Almost, now it's generating ores but not using the metadata, it's generating basalt from IC² instead of uranium ore, and copper ore from TE instead of all the different ores.

Okay, I will get and update tomorrow, I have it fixed now

Alright, thanks.

I just noticed it's also not generating dense ores or mekanism's osmium, I think they're all metadata 0.

Thank you.
