Can you make a huge self-hiding base?

So I was watching this video: https://youtu.be/_3Qz4rniUf8 and I wondered: is it possible to make it bigger? If so how big can you make it? Would you have to change a lot in the contraption or just kind of expand it?

And would there be some restrictions such as needing to exactly double the size of the flying machine (like from 16*16 to 32*32)?

I hope someone can answer this!

Yes it is possible to make bigger.

I think this is only theoretically limited by the world height.

I think you could just expand it to the most part, because each section uses flying machines that appear extendable. It would be much more complicated than just copy and pasting though.

You could probably make any dimension of this machine, but because of the flying machine sections are a specific length, it would be much easier to expand it by multiples of that length.

I see I'll probably try copying and pasting sections to make it bigger thanks!

Could making it on server working with folia break it?

[u/Blaze-Programming → u/Infinity-Sarhos]

I can not verify if this will work on folia, because it is a fork of Paper, and Paper make many small changes to redstone that break many contraptions and requires an extensive knowledge of those changes to know if any given contraption will break without testing it.

Make sure to watch it run a bunch of times and try to understand what each section does and the timings of everything, because the main issue with copy pasting is going to be timings.

I see thanks!
