Another good tip is the way bandages work. You only get a small heal if you tap the use button. to get the full heal benefits from it you have to hold the use button down. I've seen a few people using like 5 bandages at a time to heal because they were just tapping it.
That last tip was one I didn't know. Thank you so much. Now I gotta go around and poke stuff. I'd be happy to get a free copy of the game for my grandson. Hope you make more videos for this game.
As someone with around 15 hours into the demo version of this I would say, the lift sails are absolutely essential to steady flight, the active height differences across the map mean being able to go up and down will be crucial to your journey!
I've watched a few videos about this game and been on the fence thus far. I keep almost buying it, but part of me may wait for a sale. It just looks like too much chill fun and the building will likely keep me occupied for a while until more content is available. Thank you for your videos and the shared information!
Amazing Tips! really appreciate the great advice, especially that last tip as NO ONE else has mentioned that and I've watched like 5 or 6 Tip videos for Aloft so far. Definitely worth a Sub just for that Tip alone!
Found your video while looking for aloft videos. This game looks so fun much. I’ve been watching others play the last few days 😂.. Let’s hope I can play myself soon! I absolutely love how the recipes and crafting works and how the progression really relies on just how much you explore the islands, this game is genius in so many ways! One of my most anticipated games right now for sure! Thanks so much for the helpful tips!!
I just found your channel and its pretty chill, I'm waiting for a sale before I get Aloft, I hope I can get my friends to like this cus I looooved the demo
When it comes to flying with the island, the higher those bars in the bottom right the quicker each aspect becomes. The sails weren’t adding speed because you were sailing against the wind and so end up with the minimum speed you can see that by how the sail bar is faded. A brighter version of the bar will overlay showing how much of the wind is catching in your sails, this is where the amount of sails actually makes a difference. To know wind direction look in the top right and match the back of your ship with the wind triangle. To know how much each sail is actually working use the detail view while piloting, it will show a value over each sail showing its current power and the sail itself will show where on the sail the power is coming from which helps to see if anything is blocking some wind from it.
Also speed is risk and reward since the faster you go the more time it takes to slow down in any direction. So all 3 stats probably shouldn’t be pushed to max until you get the final sails and have gone through the storm zones a few times
Cool😂 made it to the end but not sure I have the self control to wait and see if I win before purchasing am so keen to try this!❤ Thanks for the tips I’ve noticed that a lot of players miss the sketchbook mechanic and is so useful! ❤😂
Loving the demo of this so far! I'd love the EA version to experience more of it. Even if I don't win a key, someday (when I have the money) I'll buy it because it is a beautiful game. And if it looks weird, of course poke it haha
This is a cool game. The singular flower next to a tree was a new one for me, but not unexpected going by what I've seen in another playthrough I'm watching - Thanks for that nugget. 🍻 You're probably also aware that stones arranged into an arrow point (roughly) to buried treasure - If there's one set of loose stones arranged in an arrow on an island, there should be a second - the intersection of where those arrows point is the general location of buried chest. - I'm guessing you'll be busy for a hot minute with the ginormous update Hello Games just released for NMS - 🤯
For sails: When using the steering wheel, Hit Q to go into alternate view, then use the F key (detailed view) to show if the sails are blocked from wind or not. I've been elevating them on higher parts of the island & on stone foundation blocks so they are easier to see. Of course make sure they are aligned correctly too (when placing, use rotating keys to match the sail to steering wheel alignment)
The buried chests have rock on them that are harder to pickup, I wondered why those X's and O's meant, and I believed there might be shovel to be discovered then forgot about it. It is so obvious now. I tried the lift and it can be really fast. If I had one tips to give you, it's the sail you put a lower ground are less effective, and I believe that the net mass of the island do have a great effect on things. As a reminder, you can only be as fast as the wind, and 80+ knots is really fast. ahah Thanks for the content.
I'm just about to start playing this. It looks like a lot of fun, and after so much Valheim it looks to be more chill (Ashlands are killing me!). And I love the tip, "if it looks weird, poke it".
Haha, if it looks strange, poke it. 😂 i just found the demo this morning and I think it's going to alot of fun . Yes, im tossing my hat in the ring and hoping to win a key 😊
I remember seeing a game like this a long time ago that got cancelled. More of a minecraft type thing. But the upgradable flyign islands and a wingsuit to float between them. Can't help but wonder if this is an evolution of that same game I always wished more happened with or just coincidental build on the same idea. Anyway! I'm excited to see where this one goes!
Hey there bob, adding sails do increase your speed (up to the wind speed at most), but if you go against the wind you'll go at minimum speed no matter what! In your example, you were going against the wind, so adding sails didn't impact that minimum speed (but you'd have noticed a difference if you were going the other way) ^^ Hope this helps
Hey Bob, good to see you back again. I've been keeping an eye on this game it looks like it would be a relaxing fun game. Will most likely get for myself if I don't get the free key. Did I mention I want a free key? :)
@@leo4710 it’s actually not bad. There’s a map table where you can click on an island and set a way point. This shows you a green beacon you can see far off to navigate towards
Game looks amazing reminds me of void train but more atmospheric to begin with, glad for the tips, hopefully I will get it when it is on special :) might get it soon for sure and play with my brother.
Looks weird? Poke it! Lol, that is something I have never, ever done in a video game, and been playing for several decades. I watched you play live and really enjoyed the game play. I'll be picking it up for myself for sure.
I made it to the end and I'd like a free game. Looks to me like we should poke everything that looks like a Korok from Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom

If it looks weird, poke it! I've had my eye on this game for a year, looks like a lot of fun. Great tips Bob!
As someone with around 15 hours into the demo version of this I would say, the lift sails are absolutely essential to steady flight, the active height differences across the map mean being able to go up and down will be crucial to your journey!
Sure, but my question was do more help anything?
@@SurvivalBobGaming yes of course, if you don’t have lift you’re not going to fly very well or very fast

"If it looks weird, poke it" Love it. Thanks for the tips
Thank you so much for the last tip 😊
Now I need to go back to some islands and start poking around.

Great vid SB. "If looks weird, poke it" is great game advice. 😊
this made me want to play the game! I'm excited to check it out!
Looking forward to watching you play this video. I think I saw you play this in the past and enjoyed it then.

Interesting advice to poke everything, although the double click and timing to maximize the effect minigame rather than button mash is a close second.
Made it to the end, and I learned if it looks weird, poke it! 😂 Thanks!
Its on my Wish list looks good, pleased i made it to the end as well!
Man, I love the recent influx of survival/city building games set in the sky, I just find them so neat and relaxing.
I've always run my life by ''If it looks weird, poke it'' too :D
This was convincing enough to grab a subscription, and I am looking forward to seeing what else is served here.
Great video Bob. Crossing my fingers for a key so I can try the game myself. :)
