Piston Pack

Description
Adds many sizes of pistons for both small and large ships

Functionality: Pistons
Survival ready: Yes
Large: Yes
Small: Yes

Large ship variants include 1x1x1 and 1x1x5 pistons which extend to 5m and 35m.
Small ship variants include 1x1x1, 1x1x5, 3x3x1, 3x3x2 and 3x3x5 pistons, which extend to 1m, 2,5m and 7m.
3x3 wide small ship variants can convey anything.

Build costs increase with length and thickness, though not linearly. The Small/Large Tube components increase linearly in order to follow the tube length of the extended piston, more or less, whereas Steel Plates and such only increase twice as slow.

Note: this mod includes the 1x1x1 Piston which is already available as a standalone mod. It is not recommended to use both mods at the same time since the result ingame is undefined, depending highly on your load order.

Note²: for a piston to convey anything, the base must be connected to a Conveyor (a real conveyor, not just a tube), at least indirectly, and it's head must use a conveyable block as an intermediary (conveyor, cargo container, connector...).

Planned:
- remodeling of the 3x3 variants since they are ugly, honestly
- icons will be remade, too

Hi Would it be possible to update the mod? because as soon as we put a block an error message is displayed in the server logs. Thank you in advance for your mod and the update.

DRAT! And double DRAT!

I really need a bit more selection in my pistons. A 1x1x5 small grid would be perfect.

The pistons do move, they don't move back, Textures are broken, or intentionally ugly(in menu and out).. Unfortunately It's time to thumbs down to keep others away from un-maintained mod.

So to everyone having issues, there's some notes and some things I figured out. 1st: items *only* convey when using conveyor junctions, not conveyor tubes. This is documented in there somewhere. Second, to get the piston to move, you have to change the 2 force sliders at the very bottom to a non-zero value.

I've tried a couple of the small and large grid pieces each. The only thing that does not function is I cannot Color/Texture the pistons. Other than that they function just fine.
