About Aloft
Aloft is a cozy survival adventure set among floating islands where any discovered island can be turned into a sailing skyship. Players build homes, craft tools, cook meals, and care for animals while exploring a vast, open‑sky sandbox.
The game supports solo play or online co‑op for up to eight friends, includes an in‑game island creator that can be shared via Steam Workshop, and features a fungal corruption that must be cured with antidotes to restore island biodiversity.
01 / THE GUIDE
Skyship Construction
Any island can be transformed into a mobile skyship by adding a helm, rudder, and sails. Once equipped, the island becomes a vessel that can sail the winds to reach new locations.
The skyship also serves as a personal base where resources are stored, tools are crafted, and animals are housed, making its layout important for daily activities.
- Place the helm, rudder, and sails early to keep navigation clear.
- Leave open space for future structures such as windmills or animal pens.
02 / THE GUIDE
Wind and Automation
Wind is described as an ever‑present ally; installing windmills and a network of cables and pulleys lets players automate machines and production.
Flying into stronger winds can supercharge both crafting power and sailing speed, provided the sails can handle the increased force.
- Place windmills where wind flow is unobstructed for maximum output.
- Ensure sails are built before venturing into areas with strong winds.
03 / THE GUIDE
Fungal Corruption and Antidotes
Each island’s ecosystem can fall victim to a fungal corruption that devours life. Players combat mushroom creatures and craft antidotes to cure affected islands.
Curing an island restores its biodiversity, makes it more resistant to future corruption, and unlocks special resources.
- Focus on islands with visible mushroom creatures to prioritize cures.
- Gather ingredients for antidotes before engaging in combat.
04 / THE GUIDE
Animal Care and Resources
Players can collect animals and bring them to their home island. Meeting an animal’s needs yields rare resources and may cause the animal to protect the player.
Animals can be integrated with farming; planting crops and cooking recipes complements animal care and contributes to overall survival.
- Observe animal behavior to identify basic needs such as food or shelter.
- Keep a steady supply of crops to ensure animals are consistently fed.
05 / THE GUIDE
Island Creator & Community Sharing
Aloft includes an in‑game island creator that lets players design any island shape or structure they imagine, then share it via the Steam Workshop.
When joining another player’s world, a player can bring their own island base, allowing multiple islands to form a small village of sky explorers.
- Start with simple terrain forms before adding complex buildings.
- Browse community‑made islands for ideas that fit your play style.
