[BUG] Fight against Klang, Pistons are bent, and could use some love, attention and straightening
Ive always had issues with pistons causing some phantom forces on grids whenever i build multi piston platforms, but never really bothered looking into why. sometimes the pistons would seize up, requiring more force than default, while a single piston would do the same operation smooth
Today i was experimenting with a new "feature" i found (Small grid piston head.) And all of a sudden, seeing the small grid blocks on top of the large grid, that Phantom force i was experiencing all theese years started making sense.
Pistons are not straight! they are bent. not by a lot, but enough that it impacts gameplay and causes phantom forces, i think they always have been.

Picture shows that you cannot place blocks if pistons are bending into the center when 4 pistons are stacked.
Picture shows that the bend becomes obvious depending on which orientation the piston is facing.
Picture shows that this is not spesific for small grid, but large grid aswell. On one side of a piston, theres a gap next picture shows the other side with no gap.
This is by no means a critical bug, but making the pistons straight would improve multi piston gridding when players are using subgrids like elevators, cranes

Gaps on one side, no gap on the other side
