you’d think. It’s strange how it works, but that’s how it does it, and frankly, 0tick infinite length redstone line, I ain’t even mad.
did you ever use the bundled cables with computercraft? the colour system there used binary addition, subtraction, and logic operators to turn on or off certain colours in the cable. That’s why I know what I do, because I had my Gr10 programming teacher help me with the binary logic so I could use bundled cable, than just when I got good, (I can now do binary logic in my head and read binary and hexadecimal numbers up to 2048 without thinking), Redpower was discontinued. >:( 2 years later in Gr12 I’m still waiting for redpower, but it is now good and dead.
I haven’t played with the alternative mods or even much of ComputerCraft. I think Eloraam was talking on and off about re-starting a RP3 mod, but it’ll probably either get cancelled before or after that happens. I’ve also heard of a Blue Power to replace Red Power, which is largely community driven instead of controlled by Eloraam.

Those are some clever ideas XD I might steal those at some point when I have more time to mess with Minecraft.
They often nurff this type of stuff, even if accidentally when changing something else, much to my annoyance, and some of these things do not work on servers even with just the slightest bit of lag, imperceptible to the eye, but clear when minecrats get stuck floating.

Also, I think I’d like to see that set up and screen-shotted. I can probably figure out how to do it, but with much more than 1 tick delay for the dust to tripwire conversion XD
It’s a boat because they are cheaper in survival, and you don’t need a repeater, so yes, any distance is instantaneous.

It’s been around since 1.6.4, and I’ve never had problem with it in servers, not even super-laggy ones.
PS: I have used it to create lag, and only then was it a problem, but, you know…
Infinite redstone… Cool 
I haven’t known redstone to function outside loaded chunks. I kinda wish it could at times, but instead I get frozen repeaters, etc. At least on Bukkit/Spigot servers.
I meant the 0tick pistons and the tripwire telephone poles. I have no clue about redstone in unoaded chunks. :|
Sorry, I misinterpreted that earlier, then sorted out what you were talking about, then forgot again this time and replied to it thinking I just forgot to reply to it earlier XD Brain hasn’t been on full throttle today. Got fuel for the generator earlier and almost took the fuel can inside with me.
Red stone does propagate thru unloaded chunks, but it will not keep chunks loaded and only solid state redstone works, so no pistons, dropers/hopers/dispensors etc.
Ah, I see what you mean. So the only way to really do that is maybe have some mechs to auto-start redstone when the chunk is reloaded. Maybe even in a neighbor chunk to get a headstart if that matters.
Not to be off-topic, but RedPower 3 is currently in development and looks promising. Obviously there’s a lot of work to do still, but progress is being made. http://twitter.com/TheRealEloraam

actually they take 1.5 ticks to extend and to rectract, it’s just that the block instantly moves away when you power or depower it. Then it needs 1.5 ticks to appear on the other side again.
Strange friggen’ redstone, Microsoft: fix your darn game!
that’s not even strange yet.
This is weird: (disclaimer: I made the video)
Without the intention to advertise anything here, I’ve got a few videos about timing/pistons/ticks with redstone on the channel that video is from, maybe it helps you understand some things. I need to warn you though: It’s not possible to understand redstone. It does weird magical things.
The only way to predict it, from what I’ve found, is to building everything up to 1tick, with no0.5tick timings, or things start misbehavin’…
Good luck, it’s hardly possible

I just want to say, that there is a way to make 0tick Redstone that goes on as far as you want, I’m only saying this because some people do not know. But you can make instawire that extends around 200 blocks for on/off both is 0ticks.
