I can't wait to try this mod out! Thank you

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?

great mod works very smoothly and not op. would love to see the top half as a construction piece to add to boats or platforms.

Nothing yet..

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

Great mod

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.

Hello, what should you give him to eat? thank

Very good MOD :)

Well, I love the idea, hope you continue working on it, it would be pretty amazing I think.

Thanks for taking the time to attempt to create a mod like this.

Crashes the game

single player 1 of 3 mods... and it crashes

Useless stuff, dont work

USELESS

Placing, naming or even trying to use one of these keeps crashing the private server I play with my friends on. Please look into this we're not using tons of mods and I heard it was an issue on servers that do have a lot of mods.

When I place this balloon the server crashes pls fix!

u can build it but if u place it game crashes. ..... only mod in game :(

yeah awesome thx

Feed it then destroy it. Build another one and should be fine. Im still using it and no problems.

a heli or plane would be baaller my dude

that sucks i really want flying stuff

I think this mod is dead, like the balloon if you dont feed it...

still being worked on???? please love this idea

Is this mod still being supported or updated?

Size 4 has windows in the lower hull, or allows the usage of rams as diagonal walls (example: glass walls). Or this mod provides a variety of diagonal walls.

The platforms are flat, and players can add their own walls and ceilings of choice onto it (as floor) and above.

The zeppelins can be equipped with different engines, each having its own advantages and disadvantages, and different sizes/performances. Gasoline and electricity engines. Speed formula
(Combined engine power) - zep size - zep total weight = zep speed

Zep gas hull can be painted (lower and upper color region, stripe in between another color region, bow tip another color region, stern tip another color region).

As balloons are moved mainly by wind (unless there is a hand-driven propeller mounted), zeps therefore move faster as they can use engines.

Zep gas hulls are large, like in the real world.

Wanted: Zeppelins in various sizes (and not starving to death).
- Size 1: 3x1 floors (platform), height 2 walls --- 1 engine slot/side
- Size 2: 7x3 floors (platform), height 2 walls --- 2 engine slots/side
- Size 3: 12x5 floors (platform), height 4 walls --- 4 engine slots/side
- Size 4 (Hindenburg type): 20x5 floors height 2 walls INSIDE lower gas hull --- 6 engine slots/side

Just came to report a starving balloon aswell. Strange never done this before.

That makes sense!

Our balloons have just begun *starving to death* today for the first time. This happened for us on our Shigo Islands map. Not sure if it's related to the most recent Ark update, but wanted to let you know!

A hungry balloon? What is it's meal? Or i can just repair from time to time?

Mein Ballon ist vor 5 Minuten verhungert warum? Pun?

Had a balloon starve to death today. Can't see food stat or symbol, it was even within range of a trough if that matters lol.

Just tried this mod out today. Nicely done! Love the flames and the smooth hovering feel. I'm looking forward to seeing how this progresses. I'll keep a close eye. Thanks for sharing!

love the hair but why does this look like a egg ????!!!!

I want to add, for who may be wondering, that I tested the grappling hook retrieval method for balloons stuck in the air, and can confirm it does work. so that is no longer an issue for me. Looking forward to trying out the new content you're adding

I took a much needed break from things but I'm back, while I was away progress never halted on any of my mods and instead of dropping a few things into the mod, it will be 80% of the planned vehicles for v2. As for the speed, I haven't played ARK since the flyer nerf, does this not compensate for that or do you suggest a minor boost still?

I just wanted to drop by and say that I LOVE this mod! It has been one of my favorite and most used items. I use it for scouting for hostiles around my base, exploring new areas, and general sight-seeing, I's also been very useful for taming. it is a tad too slow for my liking at times, and I would like the option to be able to carry a dino or two like how you can have multiple people in it. Also it would be nice if it had a ladder attachment so if the player accidentally falls out and the balloon gets stuck in the air, it would be easier to climb up and get it down again. (that very issue has happened to me more times than i'd like to admit), but I've never tried to use a grappling hook on it so that might work also? Anyways Love the mod, Great job!

Im eager to test this mod it looks super fun! :3

I truly love this baloon, especially in Scorched Earth where it's really needed to get above the heat. My issue is sometimes it's a bugger to get into it when you're the passenger. Or you just want to get out. Crouching and jumping is my way. Possibly more room between the basket and the burners.
Using it as a movile truck in SE, or TI is handy.
Thanks for a nice mod.
A way to light this up would be really nice too.

You should add a glider of sorts, like a bycicle glider (the glider with a seat and petals Idk), just an idea. But this seems like a great mod, I like what tankuwell said about a no flyer server, this would be perfect for one. Keep up the good work.

seems like you modified the code for some dino. would it be possible to make the base of this from a raft?
what i'd also like to see would be some sort of airship platform you could build on^^ a wooden platform with a blimp balloon up top

If you die when you useing it after the respawn you can find it there with your corpse probably. It's a fun to get up there again. :D
I died once with this method but i build another ballon and after a few minute positioning i did the brave jump and get back my stuffs and the cargo. Now i have an Argentavis so i can get back the "second" ballon if i want. :D

This is so fun. thank you for a really nice mod. Sometimes it won't let me drive while I'm in the basket but if I put away my gun it works well.

Question: What if you die while in the basket? Will the baloon just hang there in the sky forever? Maybe it should come down if not occupied. :)

lol

How about a spotter balloon, tried to the ground by rope? Radial menu decides the height of the balloon and you enter simply by clicking the rope. It would basically be a tower for nice views, spotting enemies, sniping or a light-signal "Here I live"

thought about doing a primitive plus no flyer server would this mod be campatible?

I understand the need for balance but could you possibly increase the balloon speed just a tad more? TY either way for your effort! :)
