    I keep hearing about this element mentioned in relation to jacob's mod, what is it? Does it move elements around a set amount? Is it planned on being in the next version? Just curious and too lazy to download the mod.

    It is now in jacob1's mod, and will be in the next tpt version, I think.

    yes, but what does it do? is it like a minecraft piston (moves stuff around?)

    Look at my thread, Cray, Pstn, and Fram. I had to ask too.

    you should just wait, these aren't even final, and people keep acting like I made them or something too. I only put them in because I like to be up to date to even beta things, there are still bugs with PSTN that will need to be fixed too.

    And yes, it's like minecraft, but it can keep extending farther than 1 ...
    also, with FRME, it pulls / pushes all FRME attached to the PSTN too, Simon had a good picture to show this. This allows one piston to pull greater than 1 width basically.

    CRAY: is creates a beam of what its ctype is, the beam is can be solid, powdered or gassy depending on the element you programmed. The beam can be made destroyable when you power it with PSCN. So far it has the same properties as ARAY.
    PSTN: Piston is an element that you have to power with PSCN or NSCN in order to make it move. When you power it with PSCN it will grow itself forward and if you power it with NSCN it will shrink backwards.
    FRME: Frame can be used as a indestructible solid or as an end for PSTN. You can make a solid line of PSTN with for example 4 pixels vertical against the PSTN. When you let grow or shrink the PSTN the frame wil move with it, with this you can make a push-or-pulling platform for a pile of stones for example. But if you place them vertical you can make an elevator for STKM.
