Not sorting through Pistons
i got my mining ship as usual but i placed pistons between the cargo and the connector because its always damaging the armor when i connect my 5,5kk kg large ship...

when i use pistons, its not sorting, so i placed a regular connector with 2 or 3 tubes betwwen the cargo and the connctor and it worked just as usual.

any chance it will be implemented to use pistons? or do i just have to do something to get it working?

Pistons should work already I've tested it pretty well. How is your piston setup? I've tried base -> connector -> piston -> connector -> ship. How are you setting it up that it isn't working?

trying to unload my miner:
miner Cargo -> piston -> connector <- connector <-conveyor tubes <- base cargo

i can transfer that route but the mod doesnt and as i said, building a connector on the same ship without piston, worked perfect.

For me its also not working on:

Big Ship-Container-Conveyor and tubes-Piston-Connector-----Connector-Container-smal ship

same ships but just without piston is working fine
maybe this is causing the error on the 4. discusion bevor this one?

btw: really nice mod, well done! thanks a lot

This should be fixed now.

It works with 1 piston but 2 pistons connected together does not work.

yeesh, these pistons are a pain in the ass. I will look into that.
