Whooo that catapult is a lot of fun!

[Kaya]

You can definitely use it to shoot yourself up in the air, the highest settings gives you quite the overview!
Wear a wing suit obviously, and maybe reduce fall damage before you try, I didn´t crash anywhere though, works really well :D

[Kaya]

...and it´s rly useful too, I just shot myself up on the highest settings and flew right into the chapel from my base which I had moved to the closest tree on the main island.

[Kaya]

Has no one tried this? You really should! And share some excitement, not just complaints, my gosh :P
I´m gonna start building them all over the map, still hoping the grapple hook gets an UP option though.

You can also place it on walls and ceilings if you want to get up to some looney tunes tier shenanigans

Ah nice :) How would I stand on the bucket when it´s upside down though?

I'm trying to build an 8 direction catapault structure and it worked well except i keep bouncing off the great tree branch that bends back over the tree. Is there anyway catapults could have their direction changed post build like how you change the power of the catapult? You know rather then breaking and rebuilding it the direction you want each time.

That would be really handy, it would need a fixed base and another handle to rotate the top.

It gets you right up there alright

I think I'll build some up on top here just for good measure.

It would be handy, but it would require an equally wide area as it is long to be able to rotate it.

So far for me, the challenge has been avoid hitting any top branches that either stop you from going up at all or changes the direction to the opposite direction that you were expecting to go. Once up above the treeline, you can glide right or left as needed, so in central locations, I've built two facing opposite directions.

I´ve only tried from the the tree base so far, but I was thinking of building something on top of the chapel anway, gonna add a catapult too and see, how far up I can go :D

Haha, you are meant to go up here, there´s a face paint recipe here

And using a catapult up on top of the chapel, you can see what might be a new area in the future?

[Gex]

Using the catapult from on top the ruins, I can launch myself to the great tree with the grove of mushroom patches and fairy lanterns below.

Maybe...that area is fairly large, though it does seem like it quite barren at this point. I know the north end has some POI like a swimming pool, crashed SUV, cable support bridge, and those parts has the fog of war portion inbound still

[Kaya]

Yeah that´s what I thought, not the next area to be reveiled, but maybe for the further future. Like you say, it´s very barren atm, but I seems too big for just being nothing. We´ll see.

Nice!
