I also had the problem with exploding pistons for the first time today. Right after loading the save.

I had built a drilling rig with two pistons...

I received this warning:
2025-09-28 19:44:35.170 - Thread: 1 -> Warning: BlockVariants are obsolete. Use block groups instead for block: MyObjectBuilder_ExtendedPistonBase/RB_Piston_1_Base_Large
Can anyone make sense of this?

when I use these they keep getting destroyed for some reason. I use the SG20 model for a crane, I came back to my base finding the crane not there twice after rebuilding the piston just blew up for no apparent reason. Idk if it's linked to the mod, but the vanilla pistons don't seem to do that here

Could we get a version of this mod that uses the Square Piston model?

Any reason why these don't allow you to build pointing downwards? Trying to build a mining rig, and to place a piston off the top of a drill, but it refuses.

@Raukx seems to work just fine

Anyone still using this to know if it works?

finaly a big enough one

just to point out, this mod is perfect for making forklifts (:

Great Mod, using it for ages

@kinngrimm Did you test it? considering you was asking i figured you would be polite enough to let others know

can the event controller handle these?

Umm thats the point. If need say 145 you either use 1 piston. Or you use dozen or more normal ones. The more you use the more klangy it gets. This is intended to lower how many you use. As for just longer.. there IS one that uses magic to work. I forget name but it is part of a group of mods from same guy "Again forget name sorry". But you place base and the top part "hovers" and goes really far. But has no middle section so looks bad in many uses.

What's the point of this? You still have to build multiple pistons for a certain length (for example, to build a drilling rig)... this mod just decrease the number of pistons needed but in creative mode, this doesn't matter. I just couldn't find a mod where the piston goes for longer length...

Really odd extension lengths, given that the piston has 3 sections. None of those lengths are evenly divisible by 3. But love the mod.

my piston head keeps detaching after re loading the save, any ideas why?

Yes :)

it is still working?

Atomic clang gun now possible

Hi, thanks for all your mods! I have a question concerning length though: is there a reason none of them are even block lengths? ie, the 1x1x1 piston, in fact, isn't. It's 1x1x1.03 (extends to .47m before it touches the nearest even block face)

@MonkeyMan Yeah I know. Happens to me too some times. Not sure why, so I don't know if I can fix it. Does it happen every time?

when i use the small grid piston 20 with drills the piston head keeps breaking Sadtimes

Yes

does this mod still works ?

They seem to be missing the "Share inertia tensors" option, this reaaally fucks with my build so they are pretty much useless to me rn, anyone has that working?

Appears that the conveyor function no longer works in the pistons - can anyone confirm?

Why have I not seen this before!
Cannot wait for the medium pistons ❤️

Do these have the updated collision models that vanilla has?

These blocks are top notch, top solid. Great work and extremely underrated!
And that says something coming from me, I am a critical bastard!

Perfect for elevators! Thank you!

These are the best pistons ive found. Saw some but they use magic "no working parts". These look like real pistons. And except for the piston head says airduct... They been great lol Just dont put them right next to each other. Give a block or two spacing.

Thanks my boy helped me a lot

I got these to work.Just need to make sure they have space around them. Also noticed that when i use the consol on the piston head it says its a airduct? lol

Great mod, however I do wish it were possible to "attach" to a pre-existing piston top-part as you can with the vanilla pistons. Would it be possible to add this functionality?

I cant get these to work sadly. When i try to use them with my crane this happens .. https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2426222647 Anyway to fix? i do use other mods but none that mess with pistons.

Built a suspension system for my wheels but the second i place a wheel on it. It locks and refuses to extend or retract.

Any plan to make Large to Small grid version?
Rotor is able to do this (add small rotor head to large rotor).
That way i can design cab directly from small blocks without need to use subgrid in from of small head on big rotor.
Vanilla is like:
LargePiston------PistonHead+Rotor-----SmallRotorHead+Cab (2 subgrids)
With idea of Mod
LargePiston-----Small3x3PistonHead+Cab (only one subgrid)

Thank you Ravenbolt, wonderful as normal

5/5 stars, Thanks alot Ravenbolt for this awesome mod, It works perfectly!
Hope you realease more Space Engineers Content soon.

MUY BOENO!!

Excellent work on this. I though maybe the collision box was an issue but it doesn't seem to cause any klang. I recommend this mod to anyone!!

@Ravenbolt Thank you for the reply. Gonna save it for a new world in the future

@serialtasted Sorry no, my pistons have theri own SubtypeID. Sorry for the inconvenience. :/

Does this work with the nukeguards's more pistons mod? I don't want to replace all pistons

tbh it might not look good to have conveyors sticking out of the side without a remodel to show the piston housing having some kind of hatch for materials to pass through, but you'd only see that if one segment was fully extended

Finally someone did it

@GiveThemHell All of them or which one?

@.... It is 3 days since I released it so I guess it works. :D

@FinalCPU Never though about side conveyors! However I think I will keep it as "vanilla" like as possible. However, where would one place that conveyor, one on every side? Two sides? High, low? Only on the long ones? On all? :D

Work on new version se?

For pistons these long you'd hope they could have side conveyor ports.
