Frames and the Multiblock Structure

[Inaeo]

So, I have an idea in its infancy, mostly just the general idea stage, and I'm coming into some questions I have no experience with yet. Why not flex the power of the FTB Forums to do my homework for me, right?

So, I've been thinking about building a small spaceship in a void age (likely RFTools, not that it matters). I'm considering making it around a moving frame, but I plan to have at least one multiblock structure on board. I've not dealt with frames in any capacity, and other than a few Mod Spotlights I have little knowledge of their mechanics. Is it possible to move a multiblock structure on a frame ship? Will i have any issues with using Carpenter's Blocks on it? Are there any tips and tricks for manipulating frames that beginners often overlook? Any help is appreciated.

I don't think most multiblock structures will work. They'll only work if you can get a frame block adjacent to every block of the multiblock, which can't happen with any multiblock with internal blocks

That's kind of what I figured, although I thought maybe there was a chance somehow. A man can dream...

Railcraft Coke Oven and Blast Furnace, though most frames will move internal blocks if they're pushing. So long as the multi-block is completely surrounded, it can push in any direction.

Coke ovens are hollow, so there would be no internal block to move. A BR Turbine on the other hand...

Remain in Motion;

"Structure carriages are rather special: If you place them in a cuboid wireframe (eight corners and twelve edges) around anything, they will pick up the entire structure inside that cuboid region and move it. Effectively, this lets you move your entire house elsewhere."​

So long as your turbine has it's blades touching the coils on one side, and the exterior on the other, it shouldn't be an issue.
