LINEAR ACTUATOR

tired of pistons being annoying? well now you dont have to deal with them anymore! with this LINEAR ACTUATOR, you can have all the benefits of a piston without any of the annoyances! with rock solid connections and no weird breaking issues, you can do anything you wish!

To save the linear actuator, grab it from the bottom and save as sub assembly.
This is the same size as a regular piston, it should theoretically be a drop-in replacement

Pros:
Strong attachment points that dont wiggle

Can act like a piston and suspension spring at the same time

Can be easily configured to extend longer than a normal piston

Less performance cost

Completely customizable

Has 6dof capabilities

Cons:
Difficult to set up

Harder to attach to things

Requires knowledge of FT

Hard to set speed limit

May bend if configured incorrectly

Piston is shorter than max extension length (on this specific linear actuator)

Hard to configure inputs

Has limited strength (though a normal piston will bug out long before you reach the maximum limit with a linear actuator)

The tradeoffs are MORE than worth it though.

    @V ah alright, thanks, kinda had issues with pistons.. I wanna set it up to basically go from 0 to 1 with an input but it seems that's not possible with control bases right?

    @Monarchii control bases don't like directly working with FT, try using an activation group if you have one to spare

    Control bases are one of the most useful and versatile parts to ever be added to this game.

    Controls, pistons, TVC engines, etc. are all made easier, with less parts and more reliable thanks to this thing, who knew adding a single part could change so much.
