Skybreaker Bomber

Quickstart

1. Craft the basic flight parts: an Aircraft Airframe Core , Flight Computer , Wooden Propeller , and Grass Airstrip .

2. Craft a Creeper Utility Biplane placer .

3. Place the Grass Airstrip, then use the aircraft placer on the airstrip block.

4. Interact with the aircraft to mount it. Aircraft have one pilot seat and can fly freely.

5. When the Skybreaker payload controls open, select a payload and arm the safety lock. Press the jump control while flying to fire the selected payload.

6. Use a Creeper Nuke Controller while mounted to reopen the payload controls. If needed, obtain one with:

Start with the Utility Biplane or Sopwith Creeper, then build stronger runway tiers and aircraft as you progress.

Overview

Skybreaker Bomber adds a complete Creeper air force, ranging from WWI-inspired propeller aircraft to high-altitude strategic bombers. Every aircraft is placed with its own placer item and requires a runway or launchpad of a suitable tier.

Aircraft can be piloted in third person, carry aircraft-specific payload selections, and attack with bombs or missiles. Explosive payloads can break blocks and some cause fire, so build test ranges away from important structures.

What It Adds

Aircraft tiers

The runway only needs to meet or exceed the aircraft's tier. A higher-tier launchpad can be used for lower-tier aircraft.

Runway blocks

• Grass Airstrip — Tier 1
• Reinforced Runway — Tier 2
• Jet Runway — Tier 3
• Elite Launchpad — Tier 4
• Orbital Launchpad — Tier 5

Aircraft components

The crafting system uses several reusable parts:

• Aircraft Airframe Core
• Flight Computer
• Payload Module
• Jet Engine
• Wooden Propeller
• Reinforced Propeller
• Precision Jet Turbine
• Advanced Avionics Suite
• Aircraft Upgrade Template
• Tier II Upgrade Template
• Tier III Upgrade Template

How To Use

Place and launch an aircraft

1. Build a runway surface with the correct runway block.
2. Hold the aircraft's placer item.
3. Use it on the runway block.
4. Interact with the aircraft to mount it.
5. Fly using the normal movement controls.

Placing an aircraft on a runway below its required tier will not launch it. The aircraft must be placed directly on a valid runway block.

Pilot controls

• Interact with the aircraft: Mount it.
• Jump while flying: Fire the selected payload.
• Creeper Nuke Controller: Open the payload control panel while mounted.
• Sneak and use the aircraft action: Reopen the payload controls without leaving the aircraft.
• Dismount: Use the normal dismount control.

Mounting opens the Skybreaker HUD. The HUD does not replace your hotbar.

Payload controls

The HUD lets you:

1. Arm or disarm the payload safety lock.
2. Choose one of the payloads available to the aircraft.
3. Fire the selected payload.

The safety lock starts in the safe position. Firing while safe does nothing. Payloads also have reload periods, so repeated firing is not immediate.

Abilities And Mechanics

Payloads

Bombs descend toward the ground below the aircraft and detonate on the surface. Missiles launch in the direction you are looking and detonate when they hit a block or entity.

All listed payload explosions can break blocks. Use them carefully near bases, farms, villages, and runways.

Aircraft loadouts

Aircraft do not all share the same payload choices.

Fighter aircraft are missile-focused even when their general loadout would otherwise include bombs.

Core parts

The Flight Manual is a useful in-game reference for runway tiers, aircraft progression, and controls. Use it after crafting it.

Propulsion and upgrades

Runways and launchpads

Runway upgrades form a simple chain: Grass Airstrip → Reinforced Runway → Jet Runway → Elite Launchpad → Orbital Launchpad.

Aircraft Progression

Tier 1: Propeller aircraft

These aircraft use the Grass Airstrip and are the easiest way to begin flying.

The Sopwith Creeper and Utility Biplane are training aircraft. The Triplane specializes in missile attacks, while the Scout offers a small bomb and missile selection.

Tier 2: Early combat aircraft

Upgrade to a Reinforced Runway and craft a Reinforced Propeller for this stage.

The Interceptor and Carrier Fighter are missile specialists. The Dive Bomber and Torpedo Bomber provide more flexible strike loadouts.

Tier 3: Jet aircraft

Tier 3 aircraft require a Jet Runway, Jet Engine, and improved avionics.

The Medium Bomber is suited to theater-scale bombing. The Strike Jet and Ground-Attack Jet are faster attack platforms, while the Air-Superiority Fighter focuses on missile combat.

Tier 4: Heavy aircraft

Tier 4 aircraft need an Elite Launchpad. Precision Jet Turbines and Tier II Upgrade Templates become important at this point.

The Warden, Heavy Jet, and Heavy Gunship carry powerful heavy-strike loadouts. The Mk II Fighter is a dedicated missile aircraft, while the Mk II Attack Jet expands the Strike Jet loadout.

Tier 5: Endgame aircraft

Use an Orbital Launchpad and Tier III upgrades for the strongest aircraft.

The Creeper Overlord, Stratosphere Bomber, Stealth Bomber Mk II, and Gunship Mk II can use the complete payload selection, including the Worldbreaker Mega Nuke and Worldbreaker Missile.

Progression And Strategy

• Start with the Creeper Utility Biplane to learn flight and payload controls safely.
• Craft the Skybreaker Flight Manual early so you can check runway requirements in-game.
• Build a long, open runway and keep storage, farms, and valuable builds well away from bombing practice.
• Use the Scout, Interceptor, and Carrier Fighter for missile-focused sorties.
• Use the Dive Bomber and Tactical Bomber for controlled ground attacks.
• Reserve Regular Nukes, Worldbreaker Missiles, and the Worldbreaker Mega Nuke for targets where block damage and fire are acceptable.
• Upgrade your runway before crafting an aircraft that requires a higher tier.
• When a payload is on cooldown, continue flying and line up the next attack rather than repeatedly pressing the fire control.
• For multiplayer air forces, assign different pilots to reconnaissance, interception, close support, and strategic bombing roles.
