Airship Repair and Exploration
Solarpunk airship guide covering crashed airship components, dock research, upgrades, colors, automatic flight, trip prep, and island goals.
Airship progression should solve a material problem. Do not launch just because you can; launch when you know what the base needs and have room to bring it back.
Airship Route
- Find crashed airship components from a crashed airship.
- Research and build the airship dock path.
- Use the first trips to solve resource bottlenecks, not to hoard random clutter.
- Upgrade battery, engine, hull, resistance, and solar support as those paths become available.
- Unlock colors through the vending machine and select them at the dock.
Before Every Trip
| Check | Why |
|---|---|
| Food and water | Your farm should keep running while you are gone. |
| Inventory space | Separate inventories make co-op trips easier if each player has a target. |
| Power reserve | A weak energy network can stall machines while you are away. |
| Trip goal | Pick one material, unlock, or island check before taking off. |
