Basic Machine Casing

The Machine Block is a component used in many IndustrialCraft 2 recipes.

Recipe
A Machine Block is created with 8 Refined Iron.

In 1.6 above: A Machine Block is created with 8 Iron Plate.

Usage
The Machine Block can be placed in the world as any other block, but is purely decorative in nature (similar to Iron Blocks and other storage blocks). It's primary use is as a component for making other IndustrialCraft 2 machines/items, although it can be placed in a crafting grid on it's own to recover the 8 Refined Iron.
