How to Use the Bamboo Hopper and Other Utility Craft

What the Bamboo Hopper Is

Bamboo Hopper is a small utility aircraft in Immersive Aircraft. It is lightweight and cheap to build, making it a good early-game transport for short trips and light cargo. It is not built for combat or long hauls, so treat it as a personal runabout rather than a warship.

Flying the Bamboo Hopper

1. Craft and place the Bamboo Hopper.

2. Board it and start the engine.

3. Take off from flat ground — it needs a short run-up.

4. Keep flights short and avoid heavy loads.

Other Utility Options

  • Gyrodyne: a rotor craft that hovers and lands vertically, useful for tight spaces.
  • Quadrocopter: a four-rotor craft with excellent hovering and precision, ideal for building and scouting.
  • Cargo Airship: a slow but high-capacity hauler for moving large amounts of items.

Tips for Utility Craft

Fit a Gyroscope on any rotor craft to reduce twitchiness. Use Improved Landing Gear if you land on rough terrain often. For scouting, mount a Telescope so you can spot landmarks and mobs from a safe altitude. Utility craft are not meant to fight — if attacked, flee rather than engage.
