Crate

Crates are packaged modules that were added in the 0.6.0.0 "basebuilding update". They come in tier-1 and tier-2 variations and always contain modules one tier higher than itself. Crates can be deployed like habitats. Their main purpose is for compartmentalization of modules in order to save time and provide more freedom when constructing bases. A tier-1 crate can be created by using a small fabricator and a tier-2 crate can be created by using a medium fabricator.

Crates containing modules other than platforms can be placed on top of platforms and vehicles as long as the slot is usable.

There is also a broken version that can be found at broken bases.
