Basic Frame

The basic frame is a core component for many machines and blocks and can be crafted in any 3D Printer. When placing a craftable machine or block, you will initially place a frame (if available in your inventory). Then use the multitool to weld the item into existence (hold left-click) at which point the full requirement of materials needed for it will be used. Frames are also handy for planning out structures and vehicles without having the resources immediately available as the frame can be left as-is.
