This automatic factory produces raw resources for others to process. It relies on the VIBR stockpile to generate exotic matter which is collapsed into the required materials. Space stations get water and uranium, and the planet receives gold and silicon.

    The first ARAY-PSTN pushers I made were automatic, so you couldn't control them at all (ex.: id:1937116). But recently I tried to make them controllable, which resulted in this very save :) You can see the different designs in these saves: id:2798554 id:2800753

    @Lojakal It requires exact timing. Fire a ray at something, extend a piston on the next frame - pushing everything one (or more) pixels forward - and when the ray has faded, retract the piston. You can also pull: extend, fire, and then retract while the beam is still making contact with the thing you want to pull. You also need to set TMP and TMP2 of your pistons to high values.
