Description

Steel Frames are a more advanced version of Iron Frames and are used in the same way. Steel Frames are cheaper than Iron Frames, requiring 2 Steel each instead of 4 Iron.

Like Iron Frames, Steel Frames are built in multiple stages. The first stage allows everything to move through the center of the frame, the second stage allows gasses to go through, the third stage is completely solid and blocks atmosphere, while a fourth and final aesthetic only stage (as of the Respawn Update) uses a Plastic Sheet and Screwdriver to give a smooth finish.

Use

To place right-click with Steel Frames in hand and place in desired spot. then Left-Click to set it

To construct, use a lit Welder in active hand with Steel Sheets in the inactive hand. Each stage takes one sheet, for a total of two per frame.

Additional

The default shape (1 of 4) is "Steel Frame". There are 3 other shapes to utilize:

  • (2 of 4) "Steel Frame (Side)"
  • (3 of 4) "Steel Frame (Corner)"
  • (4 of 4) "Steel Frame (Corner Cut)" To choose an alternate shape, scroll the mouse wheel with Steel Frames in hand.

Rotate the shape by using the Home, End, Page Up, Page Down, Delete, and Insert. Specific instructions are displayed on-screen.

NOTE: These alternate shapes do not (at this time) require additional construction.
