Not performing as i expect after coding
Hey, first of all - great mod. Just started playing arround with it and slowly understanding the mechanics. I have a few questions though.

I set up a simple crane with one piston up (Z) one rotor (Z) one horizontal piston (X) and one (-Z) piston with 3 solid blocks between the horizontal plane (3, 0, 0)

When i move the crane arround it seem to want to push the X piston out, as i turn the rotor. And if i use space to lift the Z piston and then down again with C, the -Z piston moves out as the Z one moves in - Aswell as other wierd things happening when i turn the crane 180-360 degrees on the rotors axis.

So:

- Does piston "direction" matter? like the rotor facing in the 0 direction, aswell as the cockpit/controller.
- How to individually controll one piston going up, and one down on the Z axis?
- Do you have to define every solid block on every axis?

Seem to recognize my code and all the hardware works, it just works wierdly.

:)
