Longer piston range or piston stacking?
Is there a way to make pistons go further than 10 meters, with use of stacking pistons or something?

you CAN stack pistons on top of pistons. I built an elevator in one of my bases that does that. But for every piston you add you will magnify your piston wobble problems. Every piston added makes it a little more unstable.

They should increase the piston extending range to be honest, it is very limited currently

if you'r willing/able to use mods, there are some with longer pistons in the workshop

Been using this one successfully:

Piston mod

I have been using stacked pistons with few problems, couple of tips:
1. LOW speed
2. Don't start them all at once, try one at a time
