Fieldframe Frameworks¶

Fieldframe Frameworks logo

Big multiblock machines for Fieldframe.

Frameworks is an addon for Fieldframe that adds big multiblock machines. You build a frame out of casing blocks, put a core in its wall, and the whole frame turns into one machine. Fieldframe modules go on its walls and drive it, the same way they drive a single chassis. Still no pipes and no cables.

Frame Casing, Frame Core, Vault, Tank, Cell, Crucible, Arc Electrode and Cooling Fin; Gantry Controller, Head and Rail, Containment Coil, Field Magnet, Plasma Injector and Plasma Probe

Requires Fieldframe and Metallurgy: Recast. Optional: JEI, Jade, KubeJS.

Packages: 0.1.5 for NeoForge 26.1.2, 0.1.4 for NeoForge 1.21.1 and Forge 1.20.1. See Versions and the CurseForge project.

The Grand Frame¶

A hollow box of Frame Casing, anywhere from 5 to 9 blocks a side, with a Frame Core in the shell. Every wall casing can take a Fieldframe module, and all of them share one machine. Frame Vaults, Frame Tanks and Frame Cells inside add room for items, fluids and power. Every frame shows its state on its core, and the Engineering Field Manual has pages for all of them.

Foundry¶

Put Frame Crucibles inside a frame and it becomes a Foundry. They melt metals into one pool, mix them into alloys and pour the result into a tank.

Arc Furnace¶

Arc Electrodes make the frame an Arc Furnace instead. Every second each electrode fires a burst of 40,000 RF that smelts up to 16 items, and it makes steel, damascus steel, hepatizon and tartarite. A Storm Coil on the roof charges it from lightning: 200,000 RF a strike.

Cooling Tower¶

Cooling Fins turn the frame's steam back into water, so the water goes round again and a steam loop closes.

Gantry¶

A Gantry Controller sits in a ring of Gantry Rails, from 3 up to 64 blocks a side, and moves a Gantry Head over the whole area. The module on the head decides the job: a Block Breaker quarries, a Crop Tender farms, a World Fluid Pump pumps.

Starcore¶

The Starcore is a fusion reactor inside Containment Coils. Its plasma never settles on its own. You build a control circuit to hold it, and if your program lets it drift, it goes out. Lighting it takes 5,000,000 RF.

Picture	Part	What it does
	Field Magnet	2 field per signal level, at 40 RF/t per level. A coil holds 60.
	Plasma Injector	feeds deuterium, up to 1 mB a tick, and one Ender Alloy dust per 250 mB.
	Plasma Probe	reports pressure (0 to 15) and temperature (20 MK a level) as signals.

Deuterium comes from Fieldframe's Centrifuge: 1,000 mB of water makes 100 mB. Reactor explosions are a server setting in fieldframe_frameworks-server.toml, off by default.

For pack makers¶

Frameworks is built only on Fieldframe's public API. Every number is data:

To change	Where (`data/<pack>/...`)
Frame tuning	`fieldframe_frameworks/tuning/*.json`
Frame components	`fieldframe/frame_components/*.json`
Foundry alloys	`fieldframe_frameworks/alloys/*.json`
Arc Furnace alloys	`fieldframe_frameworks/arc_alloys/*.json`

KubeJS and Java addons can change the same values (Fieldframe for pack makers).
