    The piston communication device is absolutely brilliant!

    Nevermind. I just tested the PSTN TMP with the save I had published a few days ago and the boxes still break up even with lower values around 500 (saveid 1117829). So, I guess that has nothing to do with it.

    No ambient heat. The reason I changed the PSTN TMP was because some of the PSTN wouldn't push the original larger boxes I had for this save. I can't exactly remember which ones. But the boxes wouldn't move at all. The original size of the boxes was 34x x 33y(now 26x x 25y). I set the TMP value so high for no logical reason, It just worked(mostly). Oh well, It seems to have sorted the breaking apart problem. Still running with no stuff being left behind or falling out. I'm going to try condense the electronics on the left next. There so much repetition in those that a few switches on the counter outputs should reduce their size by about 50% if my thinking is right. Will see if the broken box glitch reappears.

    actually, when the EXOT starts to finally be made, ambient heat makes all the boxes explode, lol

    ok I guess that doesn't actually break it ... i've never seen that happen anyway though, they never break apart for me.

    the PSTN tmp and tmp2 values I actually don't completely understand ... I think tmp controls how far it can extend, but I think it can only shorten the amount, not make PSTN's able to go 10000 spaces in one push (which there aren't, there's only 612 XRES and 384 YRES). I don't know why that would fix it, but I guess that's good. Did you have ambient heat on before maybe?

    Nice one jacob. Is there a safe value for PSTN TMP value? I originally had the PSTN TMP in this save set to 10000 and since I reduced it to 1000 it seems to not break apart boxes anymore. Might just be coincidence but it has been running on my machine for about 20 minutes since I changed it with no problems.

    ok. Also I fixed the glitch anyway, lol. So this works again in the new version.

    I'll try make a new one when the new version is out. Not going to add any more processes to this one as it's seems to get destroyed after a few minutes.
