These pistons can both push and pull blocks. The shaft extends slightly more than half a block out the back when unpowered, making it useful for building tiny rocks or footsteps. They operate within a 1×1×1 block bounds and will only push blocks when powered for fewer than 5 wiring ticks—any longer and they will pull instead. The paintable section is the piston head.
#Pistons
hoary scroll
they can't add a block that pushes other blocks
but perhaps a piston that doesn't push blocks could be added...?

Wait why not

they can
it’s just challenging
Jack said this I think
idk which dev said it
hoary scroll
they can
would take time -> time that they need to keep up their update cycle -> can't do it because reworking the block system for one block isn't worth the time sink
so they can't realistically do it

signs took months
it was mentioned
there were multiple things that took a while, even when they were already working on updates.

but this is bigger than signs, or those other features
they can work on things in the background
but I think this is too much to do that

I’m pretty sure signs is harder
hoary scroll
they'd either get it out after 2 years of work, or every update would be a lot smaller

hoary scroll
I’m pretty sure signs is harder
I'm not a game dev
but it's a block that can make a text display on it
they already had text displays
no way signs were THAT hard 😭
not saying they were easy
hoary scroll
but harder than reworking the block system in an equally efficient way so that blocks can push other ones?

"I'm wrong? yeah, must be ragebait"
the trass team sat down and made signs
they don't want to do pistons

“We already have text displays”
hoary scroll
I'd bet signs were easier than pistons off that alone
hoary scroll
Those take 5 seconds to make
crazy right

yeeps style and everything
having custom text is harder
Not to mention filters

lil bro download Unity please
before talking
hoary scroll
I mean, filters would be a pain sure
-# if only online filters were already free

lil bro download Unity please
"signs were harder than pistons could be" talking rn
go ahead, make an efficient block system that runs in vr with pistons
or, you can't?

not really how that works

I’m pretty sure they’re thinking about adding this but mentioned that making it would also be really hard and take a lot of time
