Thermite-Welded Frame
Adds the alternate Modular Frame recipe 'Thermite-Welded Frame' to the game.
Description
Adds an alternate recipe for Modular Frames called 'Thermite-Welded Frame' to the game. The recipe uses Aluminum Powder (introduced by the <a href="https://ficsit.app/mod/AluminumPowder">Aluminum Powder mod</a>) to cut up and fuse Reinforced Iron Plates into Modular Frames.
<h4>Why?</h4>
All of the basic iron parts (e.g. Iron Plates and Iron Rods) have late-game recipes for using more advanced materials to produce them in bulk, faster and more resource-efficiently.</br>
</br>
Modular Frames... kind of lack this, despite being a rather basic early-game part. Even their more advanced recipes are irritatingly slow, making it difficult to produce them in bulk compared to other very basic parts.</br>
</br>
The Thermite-Welded Frame recipe is here as a true late-game recipe to fix that. It is actually a slight downgrade in resource efficiency from the most efficient vanilla recipe (Steeled Frame), giving 1 Frame per 1 Plate, as opposed to steeled frame's 3 Frames per 2 Plates. But it is still decent on resources, and is a massive improvement in production rate. (10 Frames per minute at 100% machine rate. Double that of the fastest vanilla recipe, Bolted Frame, which is also a horrific resource hog.)</br>

Frequently Asked Questions
Thermite-Welded Frame not working after update β what to do?
After a Satisfactory update, mods need to be updated. Check ficsit.app whether Thermite-Welded Frame has been updated for the new game version. With Mado Hosting: open the mod manager and click "Update All". If the mod hasn't been updated yet, temporarily remove it so the server starts.
Thermite-Welded Frame causing crashes in multiplayer β solution
Most common cause: all players must have exactly the same mod version installed. Check server logs for "ModMismatch" or "Version Conflict". Ensure all players use Thermite-Welded Frame v1.0.0 and the same SML. With Mado Hosting, Satisfactory servers run with 6 GB RAM for stable multiplayer performance.
Is Thermite-Welded Frame compatible with other Satisfactory mods?
Thermite-Welded Frame uses the Satisfactory Mod Loader (SML). Generally, SML-based mods are cross-compatible, but mods modifying the same game systems can cause conflicts. Test new mod combinations on a backup save. The Mado dashboard automatically detects known conflicts and warns you.
