Description
This platform shoots you 628 blocks high at the push of a button using only 1 piston! I made this as an experiment to test the limits of pistons.

Be aware:
  • Don't press the button to fast or it will stop working (1 sec in between)
  • Don't open the controller interface or it will stop working
  • You have to stand in the middle of the platform for the best effect!

So what's the actual result of the experiment?
No matter what number I change, length, speed, mode, it doesn't become faster/stronger at some point. I compared it with other experiments in the workshop and they all got me to the same height. It seems like there's a technical limit in the game which is sadly disappointing. There does seem to be a weird issue that's oddly consistent. Namely, turning up the speed results in fewer "shots" before it stops working. Using "0.000000001" as the current number of speed limits it to 11 shots, whereas the same with an extra 0 consistently to 7. I got me thinking, do all pistons have limited shots, but like a near limitless amount?

In the end, I still got this pretty neat canon, which is nice :)

@Guillermo.a.kaelin
If you cared about your world, you would have A.) backed up the save or B.) tested it on a different world. It's not Tomatsu's fault that you destroyed your world.

Not to mention that it sounds like you're overreacting a bit...
