Description

What feature do you want to see added?

It would be nice if it were possible to use the blocks piston and sticky_piston on the roads outside of plots.
Currently it is not possible to achieve this behavior with the general plugin settings and a piston powered by redstone will not be triggered.

The use of pistons would allow many more complex and desirable mechanics on roads, for example the use of slimeblock-elevators.

Are there any alternatives?

I tried to achieve the desired behavior by modifying the plugin config files worlds.yml and settings.yml.
I added road-flags like "use: minecraft:piston,minecraft:sticky_piston" and "device-interact: true" but these flags have no effect.

At the discord channel I received the info, that the use of pistons on roads is not permitted at all.

Anything else?

Research direction

Start by reviewing how worlds.yml and settings.yml handle road flags, then trace the existing road protection behavior for piston and sticky_piston blocks. Done means redstone-powered pistons can operate on roads outside plots while the existing plot protections remain intact.
