Up, Up and... Crashing Back Down...

I'm not sure if there are three scarier words on the Frontier than "Doc's been thinking"... yes, here we go...

Doc Auburn's had a lot of time on his hands lately and has been watching the birds flying past and migrating and it's occurred to him, that if they can fly, why can't he? (answers on a postcard...)

Well, restraint is not a word Doc knows and so we're soon going to be pulled onboard with his plan to create a flying machine via technical inventions and power experiments...

Well, along with what amounts to gafer taping animals to various bits of equipment, but I think we're ok, PETA didn't exist back then... (although if it did, Bess would definitely be doing one of their naked commercials, you know she would...)

So, as usual, there's a popup to start!


That will kick off a standard three step map mission with 3 series of 4 smaller missions, and then a Monday mission to cap things off (all details HERE). There is a decoration placeable but it's not a build, it's just stick it down and done, Doc's Hangar...


Inside the hanger we'll see the new mission map which will unlock over the next couple days with each mission openable from there (they are repeatable for extra rewards but there are no requirements, it's optional.)


The missions themselves won't be burning any brains as they're good old map missions that we're all used to, some crafting, some requesting and a trio of injured animals, one for each set of missions.


Those will be healed with their own feed so check the mission guide for amounts and crafting requirements.

We'll also get some new reward animals...


...a new free gift crop, Air Fern...

...and some flight based rewards, including our own rideable flying machine and pilot's gear!

Finally, a new collection, the Flight Collection...


So, fly like an eagle! Or, to be honest, drop like a tortoise, either is as likely as the other...
