Frame Blocks

Description
These are frame-only versions of the light armor blocks. They can be welded up to 100% and still retain the frame-only appearance.

Includes both large and small blocks for all the block types: cubes, ramps and corners.

I have no 3D modeling skills and limited graphics skills so, the frame blocks use the regular light armor block icons.

The mod uses only vanilla models and textures, and can be used in survival and creative. (They should be fine on servers too, but I don't have one so i wasn't able to test it.)

Frames require small steel tubes and construction components. Compared to fully constructed light armor blocks, the frames need only about 86% of iron ingots for small blocks, and between 35% - 42% for large blocks.

Frames are not air tight.

The frame blocks should function in all ways like the light armor block counterparts.

They will also remain as frames if you're using an automated build system.

I created these because I got tired of accidentally grinding an unconstructed block into dust and having something fall apart.

This is my first workshop item. I hope others find it useful.

I can not find the frame block's in the toolbar config, this is just the mod I have been looking for and not sure if still works or it's a personal issue.

@AugustZero, I'll take a look at it. I never used the wheels that way, although I saw Splitsie do it, but I'm going to have to give it a try.

Cool mod :steamhappy:, was thinking of something like this the other day. Any chance you considered doing wheels as well? People often use them for pipes.
