This looks like it'd re-create 2D Metroid Elevators wonderfully, and used for the exits for some of the Gunships

I like your work and your creations, thank you for that. Wanted to ask if you want to upgrade this mod?

v Lord Clang has intervened with your pistons v

so we got an issue here. I stacked 6 of the 50 Meters on top of each other for my massive elevator shaft (around 250 meters). It goes up fine, but they all explode when you lower it.

Oh saver, I hope it would be strong enough so that I salvage the whole capital ship scrap with the new magnetic tools. I do love the feeling to throw the whole ship to my grinder bed

small grid variants are planned. I recently updated Ganymede Conveyors and added 2 new blocks. I plan on enhancing all my mods over time...
Also Stay tuned... Ganymede Thrusters are in development.. stay tuned..

Any chance of making small grid variants?

so question wich one of the pistons did you use theres 2 of them one is without the conveyr the other one is with

I'm having the same problem with the conveyor pistons not transporting. Also it would be neat to get that ghostly blue between the disks of the conveyor, kind of like on your conveyors.

MagLev Conveyor Piston don`t work he don`t transport items :(

Been using these and the whole awesome Ganymede set for a fair while now, but recently (since warfare update) i've found them to no longer be robust. Example [But I witnessed this in at least 5 or 6 completely unique cases before I had to give up and switch back to normal pistons on all my builds]: I used these on a land base recently as a fixed extendable drill setup - simple straight line drilling with 3 pistons - the thing just fell apart randomly whilst trying to do some basic drilling (all the heads of the pistons fell off and a few pistons blew up).

Rebuilt it a couple of times with same consistently result. Always using inertia tensors on of course. Only way I could get some semblance of robustness was to have 2 lines of pistons merged together onto the drill head.

Would love it if we could get these reliable again, as they are much better looking than the default and the added range on them alongside the shorter unextended length are a god send for making many types of ship!

@Sargonnas, hello once again!
I noticed that your mod doesn't still benefit from the reworked collision boxes optimized by Keen.
Surrounding the piston with armor blocks makes my ship jitter like the old keen piston did before the update. I do not know if the issue is in the main block piston or in the piston part.

Can you do something about that? If u cannot I'll have to rework my folding solar panel system with the regular piston (but I may barf while doing it). Ty once again for your awesome work!

they are still looking into that

Is it possible to make the invisible parts have no collision

@Sargonnas. I have tried using them with inertia tensor with a connector to connect two ships and they still freak the f out

KeopsKM Been requesting this one for a while. I dont think people can do it. Other wise they just do it.
Every magnetic mod in this game is just invisible texture.

The biggest crime known to mankind is that this legend Sargonnas has comments turned off on his profile. Even if it's not visible know that in spirit you have a +rep for being a bloody legend for these mods. Design, responsiveness, implementation. You're killing it my dude

Thank you @keopsKM

These work fine when you enable inertia tensor. Try that.

Be warned if you use these. Adding multiple in a row can make them spaz out and break themselves or the things they are attached to. The physics engine does not play nice with these while extended

Wygos, I think you would have a much better impact by requesting that specific change in a polite way. The fact that you are angry for the AMAZING looking blocks not working as you want, just shows your lack of critical thinking and spending 30 seconds of testing before diving into half day building....

Sargonnas, I just discovered few of your mods and I´m very impressed. Already thinking of creating a whole new safe. o/ Keep up!

fake! Fake!! FAKE!!! Dirty lying bastard!
Its not mag lev its invisible piston. It still has collision box like regular piston.
here i thought i can finally finish my Galaxy One with mag lev rotating Light fold engine. Spend half day building it. BAM IN NOT MAG LEV its just piston reskin.

What is this for?

amazing need a small grid version

Yes it is

is this good for multiplayer servers?

@Ashabanobi I believe so, whatever the default setting is

I wish you luck, it would be a benefit to us all :)

That would be great, one step further towards actually usable pistons :D

I am looking into seeing if there is a way to remove the hard coded collision.

do they have the same issues with clang as normal pistons would?

is this just a retexture off a extended Piston?
or is there any plans that you can move through the piston(like disabling the collision off the piston)

Possibility. Join our community on discord and propose the idea in the suggestions channel. :)

Hi Love Your mods. There was this old mod Maglev rail. Could You make your version of this?

is it's impulse axis sitting on 0?

Hey I just started using this mod, I've got a conveyor magpiston hooked up to a converyor junction and a connector on a ship, but the maglev piston doesn't work, it won't respond to any commands to increase it's length, change it's minimum or maximum length, etc. Just no response whatsoever. I've check that it's both powered and fully built too. Is this mod broken since the last update?

will you add small ship version?

Check out our discord if you want to see what coming up. :)

So invisible "maglev" rotors when? lol. We need floating, angle changing, wings and stuff.

Even though I just now found this mod, I like what Laci mentioned (and of course Kory). I've always appreciated mod authors adding new content to games like this, and with such a project, there seems little reason to not keep graphical preferences around. :) Enjoy your landing gear already. Hope to keep enjoying more! They're quality additions to my games.

Hi!

I just want to react to Kory's suggestion. Please do not add any kind of visible effect between the top part and the piston base. Or please create a version, where nothing is visible between the two point, neither the small little rings.

So many SE player have waited for years to an opportunity to create levitative ship parts again. Since KSH "fixed" a "bug" which caused we could use wheel suspension and rotor heads for create a far attach in 2016.

For example here is one of my project from 2016, which has been unfinished since.

(The 4 emitting "crystals" are orbiting the base slowly.)

If you get wobble issues with pistons then click the toggle in control panel for “share inertia”

Do these pistons wobble?

Used this to rig up a special overhead connector for a friend's rover. It works magnificently without taking up so much space! It's glorious!

wow now it's totally possible to add to servers! thank you DEV!

Now THIS looks cool !!

Updated - reduced mod file size

Dorimanx good point. I didn't realise the size of some of the models. Ill try to reduce the size and update :)

Amazing! mod size is large for servers, people already in stress to download few GB.
Happy to see such mod! only hope the KEEN will be inspired and add this to game after sending you some $$$
:)

I agree with Koiry, if it had a beam effect it would fit perfect with any syfy decor. Can't wait to try this MagLev out.
