Trivia

• The in-game appearance of the Modular Frame is based on a real life modular construction material called 80/20 (eighty twenty) aluminum extrusion.

• 

  A simple setup for Modular Frame production without considering the item ratio.

• 

  A 100% Modular frame setup with 120 Iron Ore/min input. Belt Mk.2 is needed.

History

• Patch Closed Alpha 5: Assembler now costs Modular Frames instead of Reinforced Iron Plates
