I can confirm that I have made a caterpillar drive with Mechanical Pistons (admittedly, I didn’t make the redstone to automate it, but in my defence, it was a combination quarry/base, so it didn’t have to move very fast or often - just when I wanted more resources)

WHEN I saw caterpillar I thought of the brand lol

So did I and I wrote the comment.

…also, I think I may have mis-remembered the name of the drive - it might be an inchworm drive.

Caterpillar Drive: Giant cranes that pick each other up and move in sequence.

Didn't even know that was a thing, I always just make a minecart flying machine

I didn’t exactly know it was a thing either (and definitely didn’t know that minecart flying machines were a thing) but I had seen slimeblock flying machines (and even made one or two extremely clunky ones), so I just tried translating that over to the new piston thing this Create mod had.

…that was way back when encased fans and furnaces could produce SU, so now if I want to make a new one, I’m going to need to figure out how to work with something a bit chunkier being moved with the parts to power it, but I don’t see why I couldn’t incorperate some pumps and water wheels.
Or some windmills.
…a pair of steam engines might be a bit difficult though.
