wow, put on the boom are of a drill I can reach most of the deposits in an ore field. I have no ore deep enough to use this on the drill arm itself. But this is great.

sometimes I think people are too stupid to read

Adds large and small grid pistons with 10 times the extension length for 10 times the cost. More stable than stacking pistons together but a bit ugly since it uses the default model which causes most of the piston to be invisible.

Please, fix the texture

The texture is not displayed correctly when driving out, can you fix this?

"This is more stable than stacking multiple pistons" *Makes a mobile crane that has a drill* Car: *FLYS INTO EVERYTHING AT 200 MPH* me and my friend: well then LOLOLOLOL

After latest DLC update the big grid piston version cant hold on to the piston head and everything goes bogus, so please see if you can fix this.

@andywhy
Thats how its always been, as you should have read in the description above ;)

Seems like half the textures are missing when it extends? Only every 10m it shows a texture and the rest is missing?

well its more like 49m and has some issues but overall its a good piston

Hey, i seem to have an issue where this does not allow ores to move out from my drills to the storage. the only other mod i have on is Drills+ which only modify the size the drills dig, can you give this a quick fix?

@Jtmzac hey man. whats the CubeBlock ID for this mod. looking to edit limits on a server

When I saw this mod I got inspired of actually doing very long pistons.

Shameless advertisement...

I'd like to include this in a script, what is the object type? Either that or is their a way to get it to get it to extend slower? At the same rate as the normal piston? using it to drill and even at .1 velocity it is extending too quickly

Cheat. It needs to be more realistic. So we can make actually make straight wormhole better.

the author probably already forgot about his fashion. Is there anyone who can fix the mistake alone.
You cannot attach the net to several pistons at once. Only to one. And one cannot always lift a load. I put 2-3-4-5 pistons together. And welded to only one piston.

@Babbayega

FYI there are no invisible parts or texture issues. Its using the normal MODEL which just physically doesnt have the overlapping sections to fill in the area. So someone who knows how to model something that has multiple sections and how to make it react to SEs API requirements would have to make an entirely new piston model.

will there be any updated textures? love the idea and mod, would just like to actually see the pistons most of the time. :)

Hi, I envy you for your modding skills.

Can you create a piston for our server (and for everyone else who is interested), that is 350 meters long when extended and maybe 15 to 20 meters long when reduced?

Hi . Any update for mod ? Its good mod idea :) You cant edit default model of piston for more real look ?

@Jtmzac
Sent you a friend request. Would like to chat with you about the mod. Thanks in advance for your time. :)

any thoughts or progress on fixing the invisible parts issue? just curious.

Can you replace that moving part of the model with a very long rope? I want to build a crane (not bird) but stacking pistons costs CPU and they take too much space

Hope you find some help with the textures of this mod at some time, would be great if you also could make a model that was the size of 1x1x1 block, both large and small grid aswell.

@ woostyboy Yep, its the bottom one. I've updated the picture to hopefully make this clearer and reduce confusion in the future.

Hi. So, in the picture above, it's the bottom of the two? just using existing model but making it 'over extend'?
Thanks,

Oh sweet F.. I did not look close enough on the screenshot. I thought the top one was the modded piston. Sorry!

In that case, carry on, I can live with invisible pistons :D

@ Orion Thanks for the report but I think what your describing is the intended behaviour. Being invisible is what I meant by "but a bit ugly since it uses the default model". Sorry if that wasn't clear. The mod picture shows 7 normal pistons above a fully extended long piston, so it should look like that, with the base, end and two 'floating segments'. Fixing the problem would require a whole new model and that's way outside my expertise.

Quick Update, new creative empty world, only this mod active (latest patch as of 24oct) the segments are invisible only showing the heads and main body.

Using the default model is not a big deal, however, it's partly invisible for me. I've not tested it by itself yet, but considering how few mods I have active... Otherwise it fits perfectly with what I want to do (small grid miner with rotator drill arm)
