FAQ

How do I use the mod?

On its own, Valkyrien Skies 2 is just a physics system. To get features to use it with, install an addon mod like Eureka-- an airship mod in the vein of Archimedes' Ships.

A tutorial/documentation for Eureka can be found here. Mischief of Mice also published a Bit-By-Bit showcase of Eureka on Youtube.
