For metal bars see Metal.


Bars are essentially poles that block the movement of all but liquids and light. Meaning that while you can see through bars and let water or magma flow through them, no item or creature can pass. Bars can be both vertical and horizontal, that is they can be instead of walls or floors.

Usage

Bars can be built from the Site a Building menu ( b ). The hotkey for vertical bars is B and for floor bars it's Alt + b. Floor bars can only built where there is no floor. To remove the floor of a tile, you dig a channel. Bars can only be built from metal(strangely ashes and coal count as metal was well) and take only one bar to be build.
