    Hello, I am making this post as we recently received an update to the economy server reducing lag and making some intriguing changes to the vanilla mechanics as I'm sure you all have heard about "Crop Hoppers" by now. Slightly overlooked is the new piston limit introduced with this update. Previously, the limit was 400 piston updates within 10 seconds on an internal clock (meaning higher TPS will disable more Redstone contraptions). This limit is now 100 after the most recent update. I'm not disagreeing with lowering the limit, but this number is far too low and disables many basic Redstone contraptions - most significantly stone generators. After many hours of testing with this change introduced (including random ticks), it's now very easy for downwards of eight pistons detecting lava to disable themselves. I propose we increase the limit to 150 or even 256 to allow non-tileable Redstone and casinos to function again.

    Support. Though this doesn’t really take an affect on me just yet, if this limit is stopping contraptions such as stone generators and pig farms from functioning, I don’t see any harm in raising it slightly to allow for that fix :)

    I think 150 is good; you shouldn't really need more than that. Support

    If it is breaking your pig farm you are having FAR too many piston events happen, and should look at reducing that number.

    I know of quad farms that use 32 pistons total. You cannot make the size of your farm an excuse for innefficiency

    Pig farms can use slime blocks or other methods, you shouldn't be having issues with pig farms on piston limits per chunk

    As for stone gens I have try to sit them evenly in 4 chunks to split the load on them and they work again for me, I would support 150 but no more :)
