Added building restrictions to #overcloud so you have to be careful about planning your ship out and where to place engines and helm, etc. That way you don't have the engine exhaust plowing right into the back of your ship.
On second thought... maybe I should just make materials flammable.

something people don't talk much about in this era of "publishers expecting a near-finished game before investing" is
games are being made sub-optimally in order to speed-run vertical slices/convincing demos
instead of finalising systems then building content, you have to make content alongside 1/

Quick construction of ship equipment, and a drive around the #overcloud area while sheltering from the storm in the cabin, which occludes weather audio.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

#OvercloudGame When exploring the world in their skyship, the player will often have to rappel down below the clouds in order to explore the Undercloud and find lost technologies and blueprints to expand their building tools.
The Undercloud is not a safe place. Getting lost can spell your doom.
