Trying to create a vehicle using the construction menu.

It consumes the steel frame but then doesn’t do anything. It is not an invisible objective, as you cannot grab it or run into/over it with anything.

Combined with a welder not working this is making it pretty much impossible to do anything with vehicles. I refuse to use what little duct tape. Most things would be better off being bolted on than that.

Anyways, I’ll check back in a week.

here’s a way to get around the problem.  
it’s lame but it’s work.  
begin build auto with wood frame.  
after - connect steel frame and cut off old wood frame. all be ok.

Or update to the latest experimental; [this was fixed](https://github.com/CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA/pull/17064) four days ago.
