Take To The Skies

Description
Adds a hot air balloon vehicle to ARK.

This mod currently adds a craftable hot air balloon. The hot air balloon can be learned at level 30, costs 10 engram points and is crafted in the player inventory. It supports rider mounted weaponry, up to 4 passenger slots, inventory storage, 5,000 health and 2,000 weight. It controls similarly to a Tapejara so it has elevation/strafing controls(x/c/a/d). It can also land and move on water surface. The hot air balloon moves slowly for balancing reasons but more flying vehicles will come in the future with different speeds and functions! The goal of this mod is to add several different types of modern and primitive flying vehicles with their own unique features over time.

As this is version 1 of the mod, there will be some issues and a lot of testing needs to be done.

Future Plans:
More flying vehicles
Ability to colorize/paint
Driver pose/animation
Fuel consumption
Model, material, and stat tweaks
Some sort of death animation/destructable mesh
Optimization

Known issues:
The hot air balloon has a dino level of 0 attached - this will be removed once I figure out how.
Landing on water is a bit strange in the sense that you actually have to fly into the water vs hitting space bar to land like you would on ground - this functions correctly in the dev kit but not in-game and will be fixed once I figure it out.
Blank UI icon - this will be added in a later phase.

Hey, I was wondering if me and a small mod community could work on this mod. Is this open source or would you be willing to work with us?

They are hungry for a hot air balloon. What is good against hunger?

Any chance of making this an open source mod?

I think this mod is abandoned...

balloon was "hungry" and started loosing health. Tried "feeding" it, but nothing worked. It also wouldn't tell me what it needed for repair (scorched earth)

Working as intended on my dedi server with around 30 mods. Landing on water works how I would expect it to , press C to land and it skims for little bit then stops. It is very slow and could do with a bit an increase speed. I find no issue with it although I've yet to test passengers and gun mount but flight controls are good, just need to boost that speed.
