Unintuitive connection for Vertical Mesecon #652

It looks like the piston should be powered here? It feels like it would be more intuitive if (1) the piston extended, or (2) the Vertical Mesecon didn't point upwards in this case:)

The vertical mesecons does connect to the node above. Try this for example with a mese block instead of a piston. But the piston doesn't connect to the node below. Changing this will likely break builds.

Oh, aright!:) It sounds like you aren't interested in any changes to the mod, as it would break someone (unspecified amount of) builds?

Desour commented 1 year ago

I'm not a maintainer. But breaking mesecons builds is bad imo.

Loppansson commented 1 year ago

So, it sound like u feel that not breaking existing builds, is more important than making it more intuitive to build new builds?:)

Desour commented 1 year ago

In this case, yes.

Loppansson commented 1 year ago

Aright:)

In that case a work around could be to only change out the model for the vertical mesecon with the "rod-part" when there's a Mese Block (or some other node that it will effect) on top of it? That way it would leave any current build intact, while letting the models reflect the behavior of the mesecon:)
