This week's update may be feature light but has laid the framework for some massive terrain improvements. Burrow, the new island appearing on the archipelago this update, has been created with a new custom terrain tool. This tool greatly decreases the time it takes to make good terrain and allows for more novel terrain designs. Previously, overhangs, interiors, and cliff faces were difficult to create so islands featured few of them. All future islands will be created with this tool so the extreme features that make piloting airships fun can be used to their fullest.
Burrow hosts no natural airships spawns and a placeholder installation while a custom spawn set is being prepared.
Airmen 1.12.13 also adds a new weapon, the Seeker Cannon. This weapon is a Barrage Cannon variant that trades raw explosive power for a strong guidance effect on all projectiles. The Seeker Cannon can only be obtained by completing the quest "A Mysterious Weapon".
