Node Fabricator Block Hardness

[psychofad]

Since it appears that no one has mentioned this, the Node Fabricator has no block hardness, it can be broken like a torch with a bare hand with a single punch. This can be super annoying when trying to remove a piece of pipe from the device. More often than not you end up accidentally also removing the Node Fabricator.

Actually its not that the fabricator has no block hardness... It does, you can see that when you try to break it via the bottom center block.

Its that the "dummy" blocks that get added to fill in the remaining 8 block positions break with a single hit. I'm not sure there is any particularly good way to fix that.

Can hardness not be assigned to the "dummy" blocks as well? Alternatively, I suppose the structure could be made to be a multiblock so that it is actually comprised of that many blocks, perhaps arcane stone with the actual device block in the center and formed with a wand which converts it to the current model perhaps. Not sure how much of a hassle that would be though, just an idea.
