Mechanics Worth Knowing

  • Airship upgrade components acquired from the merchant are added to your Key Items inventory. They can be used at a dock to increase the airship’s range.
  • An airship plan is needed to build a new airship.
  • Docking and precise flying are easier in first-person view.
  • Hover near the ground to dock; the airship automatically descends.
  • If you lost or crashed your airship, you can retrieve it at your dock.
  • Important key items, such as Crashed Airship Components, can be found in your inventory under “Show Key Items.”

  • Repair kits fix airship damage from flying into obstacles and can be crafted at a crafting table.
  • Visit a dock to upgrade your airship.

How To Use This Reference

Use airship entries to decide when travel deserves investment. A dock gets you moving, upgrades make trips safer or more efficient, colors are cosmetic, and automatic flight support matters after travel becomes routine. If the base still lacks food, water, or storage, airship upgrades can wait.
