What to study

The handbook's second single-entry page in the set, kept under the second-pass rule because its content is distinct from the Toxin Scrubber page: where that entry documents one restoration building, this one documents the vehicle that ends a run, built from repurposed parts and constructed automatically as other buildings are recycled, and the frame proves the concept by placing the red quadcopter airship in the world right beside its own blueprint page, over jungle the player has already restored. The exploded diagram, colour swatches, and parts flow give the page the same technical-drawing grammar as keeper 2, applied to a machine rather than a building. Frame at about 117 seconds in the Beginner's Guide (Steam), pipeline candidate candidates/v0_0008.png at 117.1s, inspected at full resolution (1920x1080); the AIRSHIP heading, paragraph, blueprint diagram, and the airship's rotors and glass gondola legible.

• handbook page 2.28 AIRSHIP: a paragraph explaining the airship is built from available repurposed parts and, once placed, is automatically constructed over time as the player recycles other buildings
• the blueprint diagram on the same page: an exploded airship drawing, a small geodesic dome, colour swatches, and a parts-to-assembly flow at the foot of the page
• the finished airship itself in the world beside the page: a red quadcopter with four rotor pods and a glass gondola, hovering over restored jungle and a river, so the handbook entry and its subject share one frame
• distinct content from keeper 2's Toxin Scrubber page: that entry documents a restoration building over a flooded city, while this one documents the endgame vehicle that recycles buildings away
