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 Plates.

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