Airships

[TheRedCreeper29]

I think adding airships would be sick for vs, especially because of the steampunky vibe from the gears and Jonas parts. It could be fueled with coal/charcoal or temporal gears, and could be acquired at the same time with elks, as they are slower and are more expensive than elks, but can hold storage and transfer practically a small house around. It could even be dynamic like the valkyrien skies (a minecraft mod) where you can place blocks while flying and interact with chests and the sorts.

It would be cool, but I doubt they will do anything like that. I would be great idea for the "adventure" game.

I'd prefer hot air balloons. They're more renaissance age, and they'd offer a great use for distilled spirits as fuel for the burner. I think you'd have to add kites as well, so you could check the wind direction in the upper sky (or the clouds could tell you). The devs would have to be willing to add wind direction variability to the game. You'd ascend, drift along in the direction of the wind, and then descend if you arrived near your destination, or if the wind changed to the wrong direction. It'd require distilling, weaving, a lot of rope, and probably a complex smiting recipe for the burner, so it would be late game but not Jonas parts based.

I'd like hot air balloons or just better ships for once to walk around and live on

I think airships are an easy way of offloading the necessary work of making rivers that are at least semi-navigable;

 

I would support airships if the process involved the insanity of actual airships; where there was a massive amount of necessary infrastructure/personnel and they weren't just magical steampunk helicopters.
