Ok so most of us should all know that pistons are going to be added to the game soon. Well not like this idea will get anywhere any time soon, but what if the pistons could move more then 2-3 blocks by adding sticks to it in a 3x3 crafting table? You could place it like this >-- in the 3x3 crafting box or make it go vertical instead, but for only 2 blocks of distance just put 1 stick which can be done in a 2x2 crafting table. To do it just use sticks so that it could push or pull blocks even further thus giving us a wider range of use for them like...In the trailer that was posted on facebook and probably minecraft.net it shows a dam that he made using a piston, but it could be 2-3 blocks wider if you have any use for a dam or certain traps for monsters surrounding you home, etc.
Are you sure the piston can push a piston? Because i think it would be like a chest with is immovable.
Pistons can push other pistons. In the trailer where he had the gate thingy.. He had a sticky piston push another in the way of the door and block it. So pistons can indeed push other pistons.

This is what I would assume as well, but still, it's easy to extend the setup. Just have two pistons on the side and two in the floor in the middle of those and you have a four-wide gate. It's not as efficient as a "long piston," but it's probably more balanced.
In the piston mod pistons can push up to 15 blocks in one direction at once, there haven't been any signs that this ability has been taken out so i think it should be fine.
The piston can push another piston thats not in ON state.
Timing is important to get a use for this.
The firt piston if toggeled ON and then after a small sec the next is toggeled:
What's more we saw it push 3 blocks at once in the video. I am assuming we can push about 5 instead of the 15 you can in the mod. I'm just disappointed I can't launch myself anymore. A huge chunk of the usefulness is gone now. I wonder how high items fly...

This is what i mean:
P2
P1 -> On
Timer
P2 -> On
P1
P1
P2
P2
P1
P1
Where P1 = Pison 1, P2 = piston 2
