Frame Shapes is a block in 7 Days to Die. This build-tagged entry was seeded from the game's config data at build 3.1.0 b13; the stats and version log below reflect that build exactly.
Frames are the gateway block to building. They can be used to rough out base ideas or as temporary scaffolding. Pick them up at any time. Upgrade them with wood & a construction tool to make them permanent and much stronger. Repair with wood & a construction tool.
Frames are step one of the building ladder. A placed frame upgrades in place with a construction tool: spend the upgrade material listed in the stats table and the block climbs its chain — wood, then cobblestone, then concrete, then steel — gaining hit points at every step (follow the Upgrades-to links; each step lists its own upgrade cost). Frames can be picked back up freely, which is why builders rough out a base in frames before committing materials. Damage runs the ladder in reverse: blocks downgrade step by step as they break.
