Once you have your first Bricked Blast Furnace, you can make a [[Hang Glider]] which helps with exploring and traveling long distances. Setup a tall launch tower at your base. You can use the electrotine and coal powered jetpacks to launch you into the air and switch to the glider to go long distances. If you hold down the jump and crouch keys, the pack will lift you and the glider will launch you forwards at high speeds. Don't exceed the speed of your chunk loading! Hearing a weird noise whenever you use your glider? Vario is enabled (default V), which changes pitch as you encounter thermals. Change the keybind under Controls > OpenBlocks > Vario on/off. |
