What can I add to make these caves feel less plain?

I’ve made some caves for my game and they are very plain.

Not Decorated, need ideas




Decorated, some are still plain and need ideas



Rails, mines have rails. (Remember rails have a bunch of like wood beams in the middle of the rail connecting both sides that go all the way down the rail, which I think the first image is lacking)
Put minecarts, danger signs, crates, pickaxes, etc.
Just some ideas.

you can add neon cave mushrooms depending on the theme your going for. you can also add metallic ores on the walls as well as old mining equipment on the side.

most of the rails were too low and the tracks would go underground, but I’ve made terrain lower so now does this look better

and there is one minecart but when I expand the mine shaft I might add more, I’ll some signs soon

I might add some more powerful lighting objects, I’m not ]sure about ores though since most pictures I seen I never see ores. I’m going for a horror or scary theme, or abandoned

in that case you could go for a similiar theme to the paris catacombs, add bones and skulls scattered around, graffiti, ancient drawings, maybe near points of interest add dried blood spots. you could also add small unexplorable holes in the wall making the player feel less secure and more vulnerable adding to the spook factor.

I do not want to overdo it much, and graffiti in terrain I’m not sure how I would do that. But I put some bones in a minecart

about the holes, Is also the limitation when using terrain. Although I did create one like this:

the hole should have darkness at the end, it feels too illuminated, it should play on the users fear that there could potentially be something hiding on the other side but is only kept back by the small hole.

as for the grafitti you could either use an invisible brick to display a texture or design it in blender as a 3d model and have it conform to a specific part of the terrain.

roblox recently added editable meshes which you may find useful for this purpose:

I’ll make it darker, and I’ll also play arouind with editable mesh or I might use a mesh rock and apply decal on it for graffiti.
