Wooden Cogs play a crucial role in the early stages of Aloft. They unlock various crafting possibilities and enable you to build new machines. The devices you create on your home island will not only help you gather better materials but also enhance the efficiency of crafting other components.
However, you might overlook Wooden Cogs if you haven’t constructed a Millstone on your land. This machine is essential for processing Mykter Fibres, another resource you might find yourself short on. Wooden Cogs are also vital for crafting sails later in the game.
How to Craft Wooden Cogs
Creating Wooden Cogs requires some time, as you’ll need to gather resources using some machinery. To craft them, combine the following materials at your Workbench:
- Three Mykter Grease
- Two Carved Wood
To create Carved Wood, use one Hardstone and three pieces of Wood on your Workbench.
How to Get Mykter Grease
Mykter Fibre is crucial for creating Mykter Grease. To collect it, you must explore corrupted islands found throughout the game map. These islands host tall fungi plants; breaking their nodes will purify the area. You’ll also encounter smaller fungal enemies that can be defeated with your sword.
Once you’ve gathered Mykter Fibre, you can process it by using the Millstone. Refer to the materials needed to create your Millstone.
By placing the Mykter Fibre inside, you’ll automatically produce Mykter Grease.
How to Use Wooden Cogs
Wooden Cogs are vital for building machinery in Aloft, allowing you to convert raw materials into refined products. If you’re aiming to reach new islands, you’ll need to craft better sails, which require Wooden Cogs for making both Wool and Linen Sails. They are essential in the construction of various production facilities:
- Sharpening Station
- Sawmill
- Spinner
- Loom
- Flax Break
- Pottery Wheel
