Thread: Need help with a decorating idea...

Hello everyone,


I recently started decorating things and have found it to be quite addictive! I took the idea of the starship base and am expanding on it, trying to make it unique.


Anyways, I need ideas on how to make some horizontal bars for a jail cell door. I have vertical bars already for the cell walls. I wanted horizontal bars to act as detention beams (kinda like laser beams that would prevent a detainee from escaping).


I used High Powered Barrels for a ladder rung and those are ok, but I did not want to use them again for something else.


What do glowsticks look like? Would they work?


Any help would be appreciated, thanks!




EDIT: Changed the title so it doesn't sound like I'm asking for a decorator.

You can use Reinforced PoleArm Poles, the black ones, or the wood ones. My Husband and I used those are Bars in his Bio-Lab when he had it up.


Good Luck and have fun Decourating.

The Reinforced Polearm poles are wonderful for the bars of the jail cell. However, I am looking for horizontal bars that will act as a door. I think my idea is kinda hard to explain. I will search for a picture.

Oh I understand now, ok I'm sorry I made a Bunkbed set and for the Ladder rungs we used a Powerup for it, they are long and blackish silver...I can't think if the name of it right now, but I'll leave my clicky so you can take a look.


Sorry for not understanding the first time around.

A wonderfull idea for a prison is paintings instead of bars. let me explain.


Choose the room (or make it with structural modules or other), make an opening for a door or possible bars. in this opening place an appropriate painting with the picture facing inwards. (such as the no division poster used by the rebs on our server, lovely humor) when in the cell you cannot look out, but only see the picture. the captors on the outside can look into the cell and thus follow the prisoners movements. this works superb for interogation cells, where you can sit on the outside and watch. (jsut like the mirror windows in real cells)


another tip > in some cases the posters are not tall enough for the doors (often in generic houses). take two capasitors and place them abouve the painting, like a ventilation or airlock, looks nice.


anyway, once we started using thoose, we never went back to bars, this takes less item space in the building to.

use sword cores, great if you use them with the metal staffs.

Thats a good idea. Maybe I will make an interrogation room and a jail cell....
