Metal Posts are a versatile block that can be used for many different purposes. These include but are not limited to Signal Mounting Brackets, Bridges, Trestles, Fences, and Support Pillars.
Metal Posts are unique in that they can be painted many different colors. By default, raw Metal Posts come in a rusty red color, however any kind of Dye can be used to produce painted Metal Posts. The downside being that removing a painted Iron Post will result once again in a raw Metal Post.
Animals seem to act really odd if imprisoned in Metal posts.
