Description

[Vanilla|Made for Survival|Subgrids (after assembly)|Scripts]

A piston gun that propels a large warhead through magical piston jolting. It breaks the speedlimit (in vanilla) and reaches around 950 m/s ± your ship speed. The gun is made for survival worlds and comes in a single projectable grid. Assembly required.

Pre-assembled version here!

In order to assemble and fire it, you need to be in experimental mode with scripts turned on!

Are you wondering what the hell this is? Well, a gun basically, try it out, it's fun. And also incredibly overpowered. How does it work? Well basically the pistons are attached on both sides and then retracted with incredibly high force, kinda like strechted springs. Once they are released on one side, they snap forwards, carrying the projectile with them.

What's special about this one?
-it's a single grid (for projecting)
-turns into multiple grids during assembly
-projectile has battery for infinite range
-no timers, all run by one script (only runs while firing)

Some stats:

-Blocks: 55 + 7 per projectile
-PCU: 1192 (+244 per projectile)
-Mass: 27.5 t
-Projectile mass: 5.4 t
-FireRate: up to 15 RPM

after doing some testing, its just simpler to replace the jolt on your ships. A timer block for connecting both hinges also helps.

no, they can't attach piston heads, only scripts can

With the event blocks can we get a non-script version?

and the front piston still seems to detatch

from what i can tell theres something wrong with the pistons, as now the far piston will detatch its head after pulling for a while. ive tried experimenting with different max/min extension settings but idk whats causing this
