'''Jetpacks''' allow a [[blockhead]] to [[Travel#Flying|fly]]. They were introduced in [[Game updates/20141119|version 1.6]]. | |||

The steps required to make a jetpack are some of the most complex in the game. A total of 1,000 [[oil]], 300 [[coal]], nine [[Titanium Ingot|titanium ingots]], and a large amount of [[electricity]] (to run a [[refinery]]) are needed to make all the preliminaries and components. This includes the upgrading of a level 3 craft bench to level 4. | The steps required to make a jetpack are some of the most complex in the game, and currently the longest procedure for [[crafting]] a single [[item]].

This includes the upgrading of a level 3 craft bench to level 4. | ||
Without crafting surface upgrades, the production of components for a (second) jetpack (2 wings, 2 jets, 1 chassis, 10 fuel) requires exactly 850 oil, 250 coal and nine titanium ingots. | |||

To make a blockhead use a jetpack, it must be [[Clothing#Wearing|worn]] on the upper body, replacing any [[Linen Shirt|shirt]], [[Leather Jacket|jacket]], or [[Armor|chest plate]] already there. Tapping a jetpack while it is in a blockhead's [[inventory]] will offer a button to wear it and displace anything already there; the displaced item will usually transfer to a regular inventory slot, but if the blockhead is in motion it may drop free. Alternately, drag-and-drop can be used to move a jetpack from inventory to worn. | To make a blockhead use a jetpack, it must be [[Clothing#Wearing|worn]] on the upper body, replacing any [[Linen Shirt|shirt]], [[Leather Jacket|jacket]], or [[Armor|chest plate]] already there.

While worn, a jetpack will display as an icon adjacent to the blockhead's inventory display, whether that display is opened or closed. It will be located on the same row/column as the [[hand]] or clothing spaces. | |||
When the jetpack icon is selected, it will give an option to "fly". Once this option is tapped, a menu will appear on top of the blockhead wearing the jetpack, giving two more options: "fuel" and "fly". Selecting "fuel" will refuel the jetpack at the expense of one fuel in inventory at a time. Selecting "fly" will allow the blockhead to be moved by tilting the play device. | |||
There are two methods of flying with a jetpack: | |||
*'''Manual flying''' allows a blockhead to be directed to any position by tapping on that spot. The blockhead may steer around obstacles and unrevealed areas, and will use [[door]]s, [[trapdoor]]s, and [[Elevator Shaft|elevators]] normally. [[Stairs]] and [[ladder]]s will be ignored. Wearing a jetpack and even flying does not inhibit the use of [[tool]]s, [[bed]]s, [[Crafting Surface|crafting surfaces]], or other [[items]]. This is similar to how a blockhead walks, using the path-finding algorithms to find the quickest route. | |||
*'''Tilt flying''' is where the blockhead wearing the jetpack can be moved by tilting the device. The player may tilt the device forward, backward, left, or right to move a blockhead in the x and y axes. This is similar to riding a [[donkey]] or a [[boat]]. The jetpack-wearing blockhead must be selected and already be flying to use tilt flying. | |||
A blockhead using a jetpack travels slightly faster than one walking level using [[South Pole Boots Of Speed|south pole boots of speed]], but in any direction and without the need for a solid surface. | |||
A jetpack also acts as a piece of [[armor]], protecting a blockhead from attacks and other [[Health Bar|damage]] as much as a piece of [[Carbon Fiber Chest Plate|carbon fiber]] or [[Titanium Chest Plate|titanium armor]]. Damage from these losses of health will wear out the jetpack. | |||
A jetpack will slowly wear out (displayed as a green bar going red from right to left across the top of the icon, just like other wear bars) during use. It will consume fuel faster than it wears out. | A jetpack will slowly wear out (displayed as a green bar going red from right to left across the top of the icon, just like other wear bars) during use.

Jetpacks function normally in [[space]], even though the using blockhead will run out of [[Air Bar|air]]. | Jetpacks function normally in [[space]], even though the using blockhead will run out of [[Air Bar|air]]. | ||
It is possible to remove the jetpack during flight, but a blockhead will sustain significant injuries if [[Travel#Falling|falling]] six or more blocks onto solid ground. It is also possible to prevent falling injury by equipping the jetpack before impacting with the ground. | |||

Jetpacks require [[fuel]] to continue operating. Its fuel supply is shown as a yellow bar across the top of its icon, with red expanding from right to left as the supply diminishes. A newly-made jetpack is fully fueled, and a fully fueled jetpack conceals its fuel bar. Refueling requires the blockhead to have fuel in its accessible inventory and the jetpack worn. It can be refueled during flight. Tapping on either the jetpack or fuel icons will offer the option to add fuel. | Jetpacks require [[fuel]] to continue operating.

A jetpack has capacity for ten fuel. A fully fueled jetpack should be able to run for a full game day before running out. So long as supplies and power are available, fuel can be crafted faster than it is consumed. | |||

It is suggested to have access to large quantities of oil, as in the end it will take 100 [[Oil|oil]] to fully refuel a jetpack! | |||

The first time a player makes a blockhead put on a jetpack, the player earns the [[achievement]] "[[Jetpack (achievement)|Jetpack]]". | The first time a player makes a blockhead put on a jetpack, the player earns the [[achievement]] "[[Jetpack (achievement)|Jetpack]]". | ||

Although a blockhead has no trouble [[Travel#Climbing|climbing]], a jetpack allows greater mobility without inhibiting the use of tools or placing blocks for [[construction]]. Flying allows the placement of non-block items such as [[Copper Wire|wire]] without the need for ladders or "scaffolding" to reach the space. | |||
A jetpack does not provide significant [[Health Bar|protection]] against [[Climate#Arctic|cold]], which can become a problem when flying above areas in [[Season|winter]] conditions. The [[North Pole Hat of Warmth]] is an effective alternative to the unusable [[Fur Coat|fur coat]] while flying. | |||
When a walking blockhead dons a jetpack, they continue along their previously planned route. But instead of flying normally, they assume a standing posture and travel without moving arms or legs. | |||
In a [[Trade Portal]] fuel often costs more than a jetpack itself, so buying a new jetpack may be more cost-efficient than buying fuel. | |||
