Four more paths: pilot, photographer, on air, community
This morning the path had two chapters, Collector and Feeder. We planned to watch them for two weeks before adding more. We changed our minds: the steps are all things the game already does, and the sooner people find them, the sooner we know which ones work. So there are six chapters now.
Each chapter is five steps. Each step pays 20 feathers, and a finished chapter pays one trident and a title. What you already did counts straight away.
Pilot
- Finish three different race tracks.
- Beat your own time on a track.
- Score a cargo-drop round.
- Finish a track another player built.
- Finish a race in 3-lap or 5-lap mode.
The Go button on the drop step opens the list of drop zones right under the card, so you can fly straight to one. Title: Pilot.
Photographer
- Save a moment to the cloud.
- Make a moment public.
- Take a 360° panorama (Shift+P, or the globe button in flight).
- Use a moment as your profile cover.
- Get a heart on a moment from another player. Your own heart does not count.
Eleven people have saved moments. One made one public. This chapter is mostly about that second step. Title: Photographer.
On air
- Listen to any radio station for five minutes in total.
- Write in a station's chat.
- Switch on the walkie-talkie.
- Tune to a city tower frequency.
- Transmit once: hold Z, or the talk button on a phone.
The Go button opens the radio or the walkie panel right where you are, and while one of these steps is next, a short line at the top of that panel says what to do there. The tower step accepts any city tower, because the server does not know which city you think of as yours. Title: Radio Operator.
Community
- Follow a player.
- Reply to someone in a chat room, a station chat or a message.
- React to a message, or heart a moment or a station chat line.
- Send someone a direct message.
- Invite a friend with your link. It counts when they sign up.
Inviting is last on purpose. It is easier to show someone the game once you have seen all of it. The invite rewards themselves still come from invites; this step only pays its feathers.
Choosing
The card picks the next unfinished chapter for you. Under the steps there is now a row with every other chapter you have not finished and how far along you are in it. Tap one to switch. The Feeder chapter only comes up by itself if you run a receiver, but anyone can pick it.
There are still no dates and nothing resets. If a step looks done to you but the card disagrees, tell us in Discord: every step is read from something the game already stores, and a mismatch means we read the wrong thing.
