Heavy Frames

This distinguishes larger ship projects from the basic frame route; use it as a signal that the material plan must be expanded before hull assembly.

When it fits: Plan it when the selected large ship bill requires heavy frames.

The tradeoff: One source recipe run makes 1 and lists 12 Superalloy, 8 Molecular Bonding, 4 Reinforced Frames at Manufactory; 1 recipe variant(s) for this output are grouped together. Verify access where the pack is incomplete. Its advanced inputs can compete with ship systems and station growth; do not allocate it to a hull before comparing projects.
