piston extension length

    Is there any way to get PSTN to extend 2px at a time?

    10C only makes it go 1px, 20C makes it go 3px, and the temperatures are rounded to the nearest 10 (so 15C or 18C won't work)!

    Have you tried setting one piston particle to 10C and another to 20C? (Hint: it works.)

     

    That's because piston arm length is first calculated for every particle of the piston (by that floor(celsius / 10) method you discovered) and then the lengths are summed up (and then 1 is subtracted). So a two-particle piston with one particle set to 10C and another to 20C will yield a 2 pixel long arm. So will a 0C-30C combination, but not a 15C-15C one.
