[Suggestion] Hot Air Balloon

Question

This is a ridiculous idea! 

But it’d be cool to build a hot air balloon. 

There are already wind currents. There’d Also have to be some kind of propeller with a directional control so that a player wasn’t purely at the mercy of the wind.

The components could be a bunch of leather or cloth bound with a bunch of ropes attached to a basket of hay & sticks. A complex burner would have to be built for lift.  And maybe a ylandium motor to run a propeller.

A 19th century style hot air balloon? Or is it just me filled with hot air..B|

ridiculous?    yes-  but  no!   its been proposed earlier   and   maybe  if  its  kept  being suggested it  might happen. We can already  craft a Brazier..   and   why bot a bicycle   frame and gears  to  operate a  propeller?^_^

Actually   a   steampunk  styled   airship would be   neat ... just  there would have to be the means of  obtaining the   gas to inflate it ...perhaps an   electric   hydrolysis  unit  ... powered by a   wind  or   ylandium generator?

Keep  whispering  in the   devs  ears ....  a lot of  whispers   can rattle  an eardrum:D

Don't know about ylands um engines, but steam puts out a lot of heat. A modified version of one could fit into a basket. 

I shudder to think of the cloth requirements though, making large masts is already a time commitment.

Need a use for all that leather maybe??

What if you could connect hot air balloons to your ship. AIRSHIP!! Since almost everywhere you might land is not land...

Maybe a parachute for those unexpected steps out of the basket?

And a place to go in the air?? A SkYland??!!

thats like asking for recode of the game.. although would be interesting, yes leather would make sense for hot air balloon with steam engines, since heat rises and all
