Completely dismantle / restructure the balloon

[Nuxx-07]

I would like to suggest a feature that would be very useful if you are rebuilding your mega structures and don't want to take tricky detours. Since there is a weight limit for the zeppelin, you are of course dependent on crafting several balloons. It gets interesting if you want to implement existing ones because the rooms are being rebuilt. I think every builder knows what I mean and how complicated that is...

Wouldn't it be great if the balloons could be removed when the zeppelin is resting on a platform? After all, the weight limit would then no longer be relevant because the zeppelin is no longer in the air. The conversions would then be easier to manage. Is something like that planned for the future?

Greetings

Devices in your inventory (or a box) do not count towards your weight limit. For rejiggering layouts or adding an additional balloon I've found this to make things a lot less complicated.

Just keep in mind that you need to put them back, so once you're done constructing make sure you have some capacity left. I always have a notepad full of scribbled notes on my desk anyway, so I just jot down the weight before and after I remove all the devices I need to move, so i know how much leeway to give myself.

You can always check here to see if they idea has been requested. Please remember to follow the pages rules. Check to see if the idea is already there first. Then the community can vote on it. Only add an idea if not already there. I do not see this being implemented though. As this is part of the challenge of the game. TommyTools is correct. The best thing to do is put everything in storage. Doesn't count toward weight. Here is the link to look at suggestions. Happy Gaming to you.

I want to be able to use my airship for travel, and be able to build a second one outside the influence of the first; start from scratch as it were.

Basebuilding (i.e. using the tops of buildings/towers/platforms AS a base) would be good too. Like a place to store stuff, grow lots of crops, collect tons of water; that sort of thing.

That second part might go slightly against the vision of the dev, but it would be nice anyway.

That would unfortunately be almost impossible because of the procdurally generated buildings in the biomes. To be able to have static stuff would require a whole rewrite of the game. The game is meant to be varied and random. You might check the Suggestions page to see if what you are asking has been brought up. You could always upvote it. The basebuilding is meant to be your airship.

Maybe they might add a sandbox option for that ... you never know!

How about increasing the weight for each balloon? I noticed the picture of the steam has more weight than what is in the game. Also, kind of hard to build a new balloon seeing how it has to be placed on top of the building block room.

If you don't have a ladder or stairs room yet to get on your roof (which makes placing a new balloon so much easier), build only the frame you want to attach the balloon to and use temporary walkways to get some distance from the ship so you can actually place it. The docking plank might also work for that, but I haven't tried that.
