yeah, I should remove Linear Actuator as it has a number of issues

As of March 11, I have been unable to get linear accelerators to push anything in any direction. The only interaction that's accomplished anything for me so far is creating a product next to a spice for the 5 health, though I could see a grinder working if I'd lucked into one.

while a neat idea, there's a few issues that making new movement items annoying if not impossible. The main issue being what happens when an item moves 0 spaces. This happens when at item moves but cannot move to its space due to the space it wants to go to being occupied. To be clear, we cannot recreate the Bumber, Piston, or Vacuum because of their multipush (or in the case of vacuum, jank), the movement effects we can make are limited to items like dragonfly, letter, wheel, evil hand, items that move or move other items but don't push other items. Getting back to odd behavior when an item moves 0 spaces, it can proc "when an item finishes moving here" items (which are the dispensers), I don't like that behavior since it can trivialize the setup. Hence, why I made linear actuator so restrictive.

Also, we cannot add transformable items, yet.

Please add a conveyor. I would like it to be a gear that moves items above to the side when it turns. Make it a transformable for changing direction.

I recommend listing all items this mod adds, as well as a brief description for each item.

The Blocks are to help with Piston based designs. What you do is you have a block in front of a Piston, and when the piston pushes, it'll push the block and everything immediately behind the block as well, even if the piston isn't directly in front of it. They don't do anything so that they don't interfere with your build. They do work with the base game's Piston and Bumper, but not the Linear Actuator. If anything, Linear Actuator is the odd one out, since it was both, due to technical reasons, a massive headache to make and a weaker version of the piston. The point of Linear Actuator is give at least an easy to use common variant of the Piston.

Whats the point of the blocks? They have no descriptive text, and as far as I can tell the common pushers you added intentionally don't work with them.
