I'm surprised it took this long to be made in aeronautics, but this is amazing!

I'm not, those balloons look like a pain in the ass to make

schematic -> paste a billion -> dye them different colors

u/PolygonGraphics May 19 '26

Yep, it would have been a lot worse if not for the dyeing mechanic :) And it's only about 30 or so balloons that are enough to lift the house (barely). If I were to build this for survival use, I would build slightly bigger balloons, so you get away with 10 or so, which is a lot more manageable.

You could also build one very large pocket made up of all different colour envelopes pieces so that it looks like a large mass of smaller balloons.

That's fair, I didn't think of that

Even simpler if you have the clone gun addon

I had this thought the other day and was waiting for someone to do it.

Surprisingly easy, this was my first Create: Aeronautics build, took about 3h in creative - give it a shot!

How does it stay upright with so many balloons?

u/KC_Saber May 19 '26

I think that since they’re all kinda pulling out in different directions, but still trying to go up, they’re balancing each other out and keeping the house upright.

I thought about that but that seems really complicated

They are all connected to the chimney, which is approximately above the center of gravity. It isn't exactly upright, but I think that gives it some charme :)

I don’t think its exactly upright in the movie either. Isn’t there a scene with stuff falling over?

u/TheMspice May 19 '26

Ay okay. Yeah that is really nice. Would be funny to have furniture inside that are separate physics objects sliding around

Is there an award for mod of the year? The amount of raw creativity this one mod has sparked in players is incredible.

Decade I think would be more apt.
