"You can use Merge_block on Piston but cannot use Merge_block on Rotor ?!?
Here is why...

Small Rotor Block
Default Value: <RotorDisplacementMaxSmall>0.11</RotorDisplacementMaxSmall>
Edited Value: <RotorDisplacementMaxSmall>0.52</RotorDisplacementMaxSmall>

But Why?
I am tired of using Piston + Rotor Combo (2 subgrids) for simple merge able rotating platform or spin doors."

@Laureeeeeeeeeeeeeeen
This gif shows that rotor block is actualy 2 blocks.
KSH want single block rotor so they just made 3D models that way.
Default rotor will not merge as you will see error that "Can not merge, some blocks will be at same place"
With this edit i can use Merge block for better performance
(Rotors have microshake = wasted CPU power)

That looks like more than a full block of displacement.... Why not just put another armor block there?
