Hey there, I hope this finds you well. I’ll start this by saying I have looked up this question every way I know how for the better part of a couple of hours, and i havent found an answer to my specific question. So I apologize if this has been answered somewhere else, I just could not for the life of me find it lol.
Anyway, so. heres the question. I have a pretty standard design for an automated sugarcane farm. I ran the farm to be 32 blocks long. I did stack 2 of them on top of one another, but the 2 farms are operating seperately. As they are now, they all work just fine, but I am noticing that the signal from one observer will only reach pistons so far away, so there is never a point where all 32 pistons are firing at the same time.
Now, this isnt a huge issue, but the OCD in me would like to have all the pistons in the row fire at once. I would like to have this happen with a signal from any of the observers on the line at any given time. And I would like observer #32 to power piston #1, the same way Observer #1 would power piston #32. So I guess I’d just want a signal to travel either direction to fire all the pistons at once, regardless of the position of the observer in the line which is firing them.
I’m hoping thats worded right, as I know this is all a bit complicated to explain. the set up I have now basically is just a solid block behind every piston with redstone dust on top of it. I’m feeling like there is a simple answer involving a repeater and just extending the signal, though i cant seem to find a way of getting exactly the outcome I’m looking for. please ask any questions and i will do my best to make it easier to understand. Thank you for your time!
