Scavenging Mechanical Components and Settlement Loot

Searching Island Chests

Airborne settlements provide valuable gear, materials, and machinery parts intended to support your technical builds. As you explore the houses, towers, and market structures across the floating islands, check every room for island chests.

• Settlement Containers: Search inside cozy wooden residences, storage rooms, and around market stalls. These island chests supply players with building materials, decorative items, and utility loot.
• Mechanical Spoils: Chests throughout sky villages specifically contain mechanical components needed for assembling automation systems without crafting every piece from scratch.

Salvaging Functional Machinery

Beyond chest inventories, the structures themselves are built with functional machinery and themed decorative materials that can be scavenged:

• Water Wheels and Windmills: Inspect the exterior buildings to find large wooden water wheels and windmill structures integrated into village architecture.
• Pulleys and Moving Platforms: Floating platforms suspended between islands often feature mechanical pulleys and machinery blocks. Harvest these assemblies if you need parts for your own lifts and contraptions.
• Architectural Materials: The towns feature specialized building blocks, lanterns, and statues. Use a pickaxe or axe to safely gather these themed blocks for your own base designs.
