In the late stages of Aloft, having enough Linen is crucial. If you plan to explore the final Biome, it’s important to maintain a solid supply of Linen. You can use it to create Linen Sails and Clothes, which will help keep you safe during your adventures.
To gather Linen, you’ll need to embark on a thorough exploration of the Fallen Heights to hunt for Flax. Growing Flax is the fastest way to ensure you have enough Linen, saving you from having to search for it repeatedly. You’ll also need to process Flax in the necessary buildings to produce Linen.
How To Collect Linen
To acquire Linen in Aloft, you must reach the Fallen Heights biome. Here is where you will locate Flax, the key ingredient needed for crafting Linen.
The islands in the game are randomly generated in each world, so this guide won’t provide exact locations for Flax. However, you can search for the Fallen Heights islands in the upper area of your map. Keep exploring each island until you find some.
How To Find Flax
Flax can be identified by its indigo-colored flowers. When you harvest these flowers, you also obtain some seeds to plant on your home island. Each time you gather from your farm, you’ll receive four Flax flowers and one Flax Seed. Just keep in mind that Flax does not regrow naturally, but you can continually cultivate it using the seeds you collect.
To harvest Flax, you will need a scythe, which can be crafted from one piece of wood, two sharp stones, and one rope.
How To Craft Linen
To craft Linen, you must first convert Flax into Fibres. This requires building a Flax Break, for which you need the following materials:
- Three Wooden Cogs
- Five Planks
After obtaining Fibres, the next step is to construct a Loom, which will weave your materials into fabrics, including Linen. To build a Loom, you will need:
- Five Carved Wood
- Five Wool Threads
- Two Wooden Cogs
How To Utilize Linen
Linen is a key resource, especially if you’re planning to explore the final Biome. You will need to craft Linen sails to help you navigate through meteor showers. Plus, sails will get damaged over time, requiring you to keep extra Linen on hand for repairs.
