i did check out both of your suggestions although i do like and will be keeping odin architect it doesnt contain the placeable chain, i did however find the placeable chain (moreso "hangable" chain, in terms of using it) in the "more gates" mod if anyone else is interested i feel i should have seen it in there earlier from the screenshots but it wasnt very clear to be its "own" piece. nonetheless i found what i was looking for and it works great. cheers for the suggestions anyway.
