Foreword
Now, I really don't know how to write here on the wiki, I'm making guesses as to most things such as headlines, Polls,Bold text, Links and Everything, I would really like some help on this matter where i can find the commands for such things. If that happens i might revise this guide and try to make it look better if need be. (also in case anyone wonders i'm using Nobananas Guide to Suggesting as my base, got to start somewhere (Yes, I know it's for suggestions and not guides but really a guide is just a suggestion on how to play))

Edit: I realised i have Completely neglected Nobananas Guide since i forgot all about it as soon as i started Writing.

(Note that all this information is information i gathered myself, Noone has helped me with the creation of this guide, and all comes from my own experiments. some information might be flawed and/or crude, If you see such information or have more information then please post in the comments that i might improve my guide and my airships ingame)

The Basics
Now, This Guide will be on how to make an airship, How to sustain yourself on the airship and how to change your elevation and other tips and tricks. To start off we will need elevation for the airship, The airship is based around the boats floating mechanics when the seat is severed from the body. This means the airship will slowly but surely fall downwards while you drive, How to counter this will be mentioned later. Now how do we get height you might ask? Well, Depending on how high up you want your airship we will need to get different Resources, I usually go for around 9 lighthouses but i recently did one with 18 lighthouses, 7 lighthouses is the amount needed to get above the storm, 9 is Suggested by me. Now, since we will be using Lighthouses (DUE TO THE TELEPORT FUNCTION, I'M SERIOUS, DON'T USE ANYTHING ELSE OR IT WILL BE A TON OF WORK TO GET UP) you need atleast 7 Architecture and 5 Masonry, Now to get 9 lighthouses you will need a fair amount of stone, I recommend using Quarries but it's up to you, When you have all 9 lighthouses it's time to gather the following: Any water Container, Any Knife and maybe 100 or so large leaves, and a large amount of small tree stumps. When you have those things it's time to start making a platform somewhere, I usually use west off of plateau's coast to do this, To start, Place 1 large leaves on the water with the large leafes side being 1 stud away from the edge of the walkable portion of the water, When that is done Place one more on the side facing away from the Island so that the two leaves are now resting against eachother, (Not ontop of eachother, Just touching sides)

you should have something like this with 0 being water,. being land and X being the large leaves.

(Warning! The next part is Crude and just a placeholder, I will add Pictures later once A friendly soul tells me how and i get the pictures)

I advice you to fireproof these as if they are destroyed the towwers fill fall and your ship with it unless you have completed it. Now, Here comes the tricky part, You need to Place the lighthouses so thet they line up with the Leaves, The side of the lighthouse needs to line up with the large leaf on the side that's facing Plateau, On the Top Left Corner. Once you have done that with your first lighthouse, go inside it, Wether you get to the roof or not is Irrelevant but stuff 2 large leaves in such a way that they stick out of the window with ~3 studs, Place 2 leaves ontop of eachother (And make sure they are on the window that's facing Plateau) Once that is done you'll Always teleport to the roof, Now stand on the Large leaves you just placed and Place your next lighthouse ontop of the first one in such a way that the walls align perfectly, this is important, If they don't align it might not work depending on how wrong it is. The door will fall if done correctly, This is good, We don't need it, Now enter the bottom door and you should be in the second lighthouse, Repeat the Large leaves step and then Place the next lighthouse. Then just keep repeating this until you have Placed all the lighthouses you want to Place, When you are at the top of the last one do the large leaves again,Then divide the top into 4 1/4and Place a large leaves on each to build a small platform, (Do Note That This Platform Has To Be Completely Smooth Topside, Place The Connector Pieces Underneath) Once that is done get a sailboat (This can be done with any boat but for catamarans and large sailboats etc you need to do some other things too, Sailboat and hull are the simplest, Ask me Ingame and I can probably tell you) Now, on the Plateau side of the lighthouse you need to Place the sailboat as Close to the Tower as possible, But Note that the boat will only be places aslong as the mouse is clicking on water, This is why the Tower must be smooth, Since the boat can't fit down there it checks the stud above, And keeps going up until it fits, This if done correctly is at the top, Once you have the boat on the top fireproof the seat and burn the rest away. After a while you will have your seat, Now this seat on it's own is a working airship, but to really call it an airship you need to use Welded objects, (start with 2 small sticks) and build it into the shape you want, It is possible to add Buidlings to your airship by getting it lined up exactly to the other studs, This is extremely hard but through extensive testing i one day succeeded, If enough People want me to i will edit the post to explain how, Right now I don't have a clue as to how i would explain such a task. Now for one of the more Important things in airshipbuilding, How to stop it from slowly falling.

Epilogue?
This isn't really that tricky as it sounds, What you need to do is build a pillar that goes downwards from the lowest poin of your airship, It needs to be 2 small tree stumps long and have a large Leaves at the bottom, Now when you want the platfrom to stop sinking you Place an anchored building on this platform, After a certain Point the building will support the airship and it'll fall no longer. I Advice using statues for this since the statue looks like it's carrying the whole airship with one hand (Atlas?).

There is also a way to increase the islands altitude that i discovered after playing around a bit, It is 2 Am here though, I'll add how to do that later if this Guide gets enough response (doesn't have to be Positive).

Anyway I probably messed the guide up somewhere. I will fix that later, Maybe.

What do we do when the Island is done?
Once the Island is completed you should start looking into what food source you want to use, You can leave the Island and go hunting, using a lighthouse by letting the door fall of the side to get back up and down. This is dangerous though since someone might Hijack your Island. Other Choices are Farming and Fishing, Now Unless you have Buildings placed up on the Island you will need to make Juice to get water. Also, as the last sentence, FIREPROOF YOUR ISLAND, PEOPLE WILL TRY TO DRAGBURN IT Also you probably want to be able to Cook things up there and have a forge etc.
