OreSome is a 2D strategy game about ore -- exploring space for it, fighting aliens for it, blowing up planets with it. Build a network of frames and bots to defeat your enemies -- or just throw a sun at them. In a dying, decrepit universe full of foes, build up your forces and mine your way to the top of the food chain to explore further and further out into the void. By the time you're ready, you'll be powering light speed jump drives with stars, building Death Star style super weapons with black holes and in charge of the largest scale mining operation ever known to man -- all working for one of humanity's least scrupulous corporations -- and there's a lot of competition.

Insulator Frame – The opposite of a power frame, when right clicked on, it will block power transmission across it. Click again to pulse mode and it will block intermittently. A third click allows the power to flow again. I can’t imagine why anyone would want less power, but… well, they’ve built it now. Have at it, I guess

.Ingame the Insulator Frame looks like this:

Note that currently they are off and cause the Command frame is under power, my build bot is shooting. To stop him from shooting I simply have to turn the Insulator Frame to the Power On setting. Like the Power Frame the Insulator Frame has 3 settings toggleable by right click:
1) Power Off
2) Power On
3) Pulse Mode

Powering the Insulator Frame on this construction, looks like this:

Notice that:
a) The Insulator Frame is glowing red, meaning it's activated and
b) how the command frame isn't receiving power, making my builder bot stop firing all the time. In this specific construction I had to turn the Insulator Frames on at both sides cause there is two Power Frames.

Without the Insulator Frame the builder bot fires all the time, as if the Insulator Frame was turned off:
