Beam blocks are decorative armor blocks that are only available if you purchase the Heavy Industry DLC.
Usage
A collection of industrial style beams for structural support and exterior decoration. Use Beam blocks if you want to build something that has the same hit-points (the same number of steel plates) as Light Armor Blocks, but unlike armor blocks, Beams do not deform.
