A directional physical block pusher. It needs graph power, movable cargo, and space ahead. It does not move doors, containers, machinery, or every solid block. See the piston guide for direction and limits.
How to craft it
Piston
1 producedArrange one ingredient in each occupied slot and leave the other slots empty. The pattern can move inside the grid and can be mirrored horizontally. Take the result to consume one complete arrangement.
This recipe also accepts Pine or Redwood planks in an Oak planks slot. Crafting substitutions do not change what fuel a machine accepts.
