Hello and welcome to my newest creation an eight-by-eight almost flush piston sky door so let’s first close it and now the most difficult part opening it takes around 40 seconds and it’s open spray and you of course can close it again I just put in two buttons limited reasons and yeah due to The fact that 1.3 is now basically a server it has a lot of visual glitches when closing and opening this gate here but it’s working yeah took me two days to build this and yeah actually it’s not really finished yet because the problem is this thing is currently that it’s Extremely hash size dependent that means if you move this thing just in any direction or turn around it won’t probably work and yeah you have to so I was just scoping it to random spots and maybe it within the with a 10% chance it was working at a spot and just At other spots the pistols were just totally going crazy and also it sometimes fails if you just repeatedly activate it because also of hash has problems that suddenly a repeater just goes in one tick first before and this might be fixable by just cleaning out The wiring a little bit so for now it’s has about this size I don’t think that it’s too large but it could probably be more compact especially this gap here but yeah I’m pretty happy I got a stun relatively quickly don’t know took me about ten hours of development maybe and For the size it’s actually not that much and yeah so let’s just take a look at it in action one more time I hope this thing works because yeah you’ll see and if not you will see what happens when it’s just moved by a little bit And that’s it so let’s let’s check the other side worked as well hooray the top Doors working here and yeah now I just want to go into details a little bit more hardest toys actually working so we’ll tries to try to explain briefly what happens this is an infinitely Extendable piston extender I adapted the design from crafted I will post a link of his tutorial in the description but he basically made an infinitely extendable piston extender here and I adapted it so that it fits over the floor here so actually I rebuild a lot Of parts of it but I used this peasant concept that’s why I’m giving credit to him and yeah I thought how about using this for this store here and so what happens is that the piston extender basically the rule machine here does not separately time each piston this would Have been too much work and also we totally yeah a lot bigger than this but what actually happens is that this time of year just controls several events and in events consists of modern was just one person action for example it can trigger extending all the Pistons that Means it does this or it can trigger retracting all the Pistons that means it does this and in this case this will also always carry the block in front of them and that’s also why this thing sometimes does some unnecessary actions and also certain spots have to wait until all the Loop before retracting the Pistons is I went through all the tractors here and that’s why there might be some little pauses in the in extending and retracting but I adjusted the timing so if most of the times if I try to make it faster it will just break so what Happens is at first let’s try it and just extend the door again so that I can show better ok and first we want to get the block features directly at the side it will be carried back to this spot here then the piston extended sense again graphs next block and carries it To this one and for the last one I always already had to use some special techniques but yet physically also just extends on top of the torch and then grabs the last draw and brings it to here so if you closely watch you will see that the first three blocks one After another just gets sorted into Now it gets a little bit crazy the pissed sixth end in front of this clock here then this one gets pushed in and we sail off this block I can’t reach So for the last row let’s just pretend that it’s still in the center and of course the story’s mirrored so the other side just works the same they work both separately as you just saw so what happens this row of Pistons here gets pushed to the front till it’s here so a Complete row just imagine all that it’s all extended or concrete row then we push up this block here and push the complete set up on top of the redstone torch here which means that the piston here will extend and we will be able to grab this block now we will push back The gold block again to the storage so over here and then down and now it’s insufficient is retracted we can now pull the complete piston back so the other Pistons will extend and pull this one back he will automatically extend again and now you can yeah just If you control the torch now you can now pull in the nostril of blocks so it’s kind of weird and requires a lot of extractions and that’s also why it takes a lot of time to close and open this door but I just I had this idea a while Ago and I thought it would be kind of crazy to actually do it and yeah I did it here I will of course give a well download in the description so it as I said it might crash sometimes unfortunately city offers fresh size problems I might be able to fix this and Not sure but since I was working long enough for this I just wanted to show it to you already and yeah I hope you enjoy it and like this video maybe you can find a use for this in some kind of an event remember somewhere else Oh yes and that’s just watch this song the sounds of the Pistons glorious and it’s done hooray although I’ve put in a roof to make it less laggy because it’s sunlight next big door a lot more that’s especially when I’m recording so without this roof you will probably see Nothing because all it’s just a complete visual glitch the complete dome but more or less and it also still works but it’s just totally glitchy when it opens and closes and yeah so thanks for watching and see you next time you Video Information

I had this idea already a while ago, and after I saw codecrafteds advanced piston extender tutorial (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5IOBeRYJFZM) I decided to give it a try and sa t down for 2 days and now I got this 8×8 gigantic piston gate! Some info about it: dimensions 36x40x8 blocks excluding housing closing time: ca 2,5 seconds opening time: ca 40 seconds This door consists of: 198 Sticky Pistons 1033 redstone wire 206 Glowstone 556 redstone repeater
