Completed the game without inventing anything*

I did it. I made it. I completed the game without inventing anything besides* the largest fuel tank (tier 3). It wasn't easy — even my computer hardware was against me — but I did it. I even completed the time challenges (except for one), which, as it turns out, most of them can be done with wooden wings and wooden engines.

The first island, the forest, poses no challenge at all. On the snowy island, you really have to push yourself, especially in the timed challenges. At first, I thought it was impossible to transport the crabs to the camp. You only have 30 seconds to deliver them, and the wings break very quickly. It's possible to fly safely with basic wings at a speed between 215 and 220, and I did everything I could to keep that speed constant. I also had to optimize the plane's design. I didn’t use wheels at all — instead, I added two fuselage pads under the wings and made aerodynamic to allow it to take off. I always hid the engines inside the fuselage so none of them were exposed to air resistance. When I finally pulled it off, I was overjoyed because I thought it was impossible — but I managed to complete that mission.

I did most of the timed missions this way, but there were some where you had to be clever, because 215–220 speed with basic wings just wasn’t enough — especially in the desert. I designed a plane that used only tail wings instead of regular ones. They’re much more durable, but you need A LOT of them to land safely. Even the missions involving advanced medicine were doable that way. Only one mission remained unfinished: delivering fish to the mine in the desert. There, I hit technical limits — adding too many wooden engines dropped my FPS to 2, so I simply couldn’t design a plane capable of handling the mission, even though I had enough money to do it.

What do you think about that?

Bro goes supersonic in wooden plane and survive

a new idea and challage. was hoping it would let you reset with all your unlocked things at the end.
i do want to see how you got the toxic waste load moved

It's not a bug with the money — you just don't need more funds to build a plane capable of carrying the final cargo in the game. That’s because wooden engines have the best power-to-cost ratio. The real challenge was the timed missions — I managed to complete all of them except the one with the fish delivery to the desert mine.
