Hello, i cant find this Mod ingame. How Name is it? I search to "advanced" to "piston"... nothing. Space Engineers has changed lot of Names yet... Best reguards.

Hello, thx for this mod.
One question.

What is the name to limit them on my DS? "ExtendedPistonBase" I tried..

@Argual
I have sent you a friend request because I would like to ask you a few questions regarding modding. Thanks in advance for your time.

Agreed. Definitely, that would be wicked!!!
Sarcastic. "Wicked" is 14 years out of date, but you get the jist.

sorry to annoy but could you make an invisible piston ? like only the mid section missing while base and top are still existent, this would look so awesome

This piston mod is just super great... enabled me to build a underground base and not build 25 piston elevators to get 150meters underground :) and the added bonus that i can use the piston elevator as a conveyor to the surface... :D Haven´s tested it though... Hope it works :P

It is possible but would be very laggy to compact all that parts...

If you do, please tell me so I can do it too
(btw this is the internet so I feel the need to express that i'm not trying to be cocky or an ass, im genuenly interested if u find a way)

XD Sorry, i did not read, IM GNNA FIND A WAY TO DO IT MYSELF HEHE...

omg lol, i could but i probably wont sorry, thats a bit too extreme for my liking
also quote from the description:
"Please don't request longer pistons, I think even the 1x1x3 one is pushing it."

but just to clarify the main reason: Piston collision width is fixed, and i dont want to add extremely long but only 1 block wide pistons

Can you make a 100km extending piston please?

I don't know what more can I do for you.

i still cant place large advanced pistons on top of each other :(

Update: Small Adv Piston Heads now require 4 small tubes instead of 2 large tubes.

k i think i need to create a new savegame so the mod can work properly

I checked it, they work fine.

the long advanced piston wont connect to other long advanced pistons....... Plz fix

These pistons don't seem to work for me. They are purple when I create them, and I can't get them to function. Any ideas?

Great work Argual, these seem to work in the latest update unlike the other piston mods from a couple of years ago.

Hurray! Have been looking for!

Actually the top and the bottom would be the same, but you get the idea, the subparts would be as thin as a vanilla piston.

Oh and about the 5 block long piston, as I mentioned in the descriptions, I think the extended 3 block long piston is almost ridiculous. But I may add them, I set up the models so it isn't very hard to change the length.

Thanks! Sadly the game generates the collision of the piston as it extends (so it only needs 3 collision meshes i guess), and AFAIK it is hardcoded. So If i made a wide piston,

______
\--------/
.|-------|
.|-------|
/--------\

its collision mesh would look like this:

.____
..\---/
...|--|
...|--|
../---\

So other blocks and the player model could fly through parts of the piston, or even be inside the model. I don't want to make such a faulty mod.

I'm think there may be a clever workaround to make wide pistons happen, but I know almost nothing about the mod API of SE, so I doubt I would find it. I asked around in the KSH dircord, and people there said that its hardcoded and that it cant be changed. :/

Great work! I had my own idea for a piston mod but never got it to work. Any plans for a piston with the lenght of 5 blocks and/or 3x3 (large conveyor) pistons?

Also, nice job on the micro merge block and the compact tools!
