The other night I was working on my evil lair and I came up with the idea to put it behind a 3x4 bookshelf. I started playing with pistons and I could not get the motion that I wanted to happen which was for the entire case to slide back 3 squares from their original position. Thats what sparked my idea for this suggestions - telescoping pistons.
Right now a piston is a 1x1x1 block that can extend 1 space. How about an ability to upgrade the piston to make it extend 2 spaces, then upgrade that one to a 3 space extension and so on. So in essence you have this
THis is what we have now.

Now, what I'm suggesting is a way to make them do this...

And the upgrade I'm talking about could be as simple as combining 2 single pistons to make a 2 space stroke one, and for a 3 space combine a 2 and a 1, or maybe 2 2's. Lets see what the community thinks of this.
i like the idea...it could make elevators easier and many other things
A Mod could do this.
Though jeb has already spoken saying that they have no intention on making pistons extend farther than 1 block, or to make any other blocks move more than 1 block if they ever came out with something else that moves like a piston does.

It’s the unpleasantness of the system that keeps me out.
I’d rather be in, in a good system. That’s where my discontent comes from:
being forced to choose to stay outside.
My advice: Just keep movin’ straight ahead.
Every now and then you find yourself in a different place."
