Rebar Frames

Description
 is a craftable Building Material. It is very weak and has similar strength to Wood Frames and is fairly expensive considering the resources needed to craft it. This is countered however by how common can be found in dropped supply crates. It can be upgraded into Reinforced Concrete Blocks. To do so, 20 Concrete Mix are needed for every.

It is upgraded, with a tool, initially to a Concrete Form mold using Wood. Then Concrete Mix is used to upgrade the Concrete Form to Poured Concrete. After some time the initially wet concrete dries, the wooden mold pops out and Reinforced Concrete Blocks are obtained. Reinforced Concrete is also stronger than its wet form.

can be melted in a Forge as a source of iron and scrapped in the crafting grid to produce Iron.
