Stasis Chamber

The Stasis Chamber is a machine added by Industrial Foregoing that uses Forge Energy to freeze and heal any mobs in its working area.

Usage
The main purpose of the Stasis Chamber is to indefinitely contain a Wither. Using a Laser Drill with a Fluid Laser Base and a Purple Laser Lens produces Ether Gas when placed directly above a Wither. This fluid is required to craft Industrial Foregoing's most expensive items, including its highest tier machine frame.

A Wither that is spawned inside an active Stasis Chamber's working area will be frozen immediately. It will not lose its invulnerability shield, but the Laser Drill ignores the shield. The Wither will not cause an explosion, and cannot take any actions. Despite this, the player may want to encase the working area in Wither-proof blocks anyway, to prevent any accidents should the Stasis Chamber ever run out of power.

While it is possible to produce Ether Gas without a Stasis Chamber, doing so requires the player to continuously spawn Withers. This may be desirable to produce Nether Stars alongside Ether Gas. However, doing this is a poor source of Nether Stars, as even a fully upgraded Laser Drill setup will take a long time to kill the Wither, while a Mob Crusher would kill it instantly. Using a Stasis Chamber will produce Ether Gas more consistently and safely, as it counteracts the Wither's lengthy spawning animation and explosion damage.

The Stasis Chamber's default working area is a 3x3x3 cube directly above the machine. Its size can be increased using Range Addons. Players will be affected by Slowness while inside the machine's working area.
