Fuel and parts management
CheckIn short
Running out of fuel mid-flight ends your run, so treat every landing as a chance to resupply.
Fuel drains while you fly, and every part of the plane needs to be intact for the engine to start. Before each takeoff, run through the checks below. Landing regularly to scavenge is not a setback — it is the core survival loop.
- All required parts are fitted and none are damaged.
- The fuel tank is as full as possible before departure.
- The engine responds normally when you press M if it does not, recheck parts and fuel.

Tips
In short
Stock up on fuel and explore new routes to keep flying as long as possible.
The goal of the game is to survive as long as possible, and fuel is the main thing that ends a run early.
Tips worth knowing
- Stock up on fuel before every takeoff rather than gambling on finding supplies mid-route.
- Try different exploration routes each time to find spots you have not looted yet.

A Long Flight [EARLY ACCESS]
Glossary
Glossary- Engine start
- Pressing M fires the plane's engine — this only works when all required parts are fitted and there is enough fuel.
- Fuel
- The resource that keeps the plane airborne, found by searching abandoned locations in the desert.
- Parts
- Items scavenged from ruins that must all be attached to the plane before the engine will start.
- Early access
- A development stage where the game is playable but still being built, meaning bugs and missing features are normal.
Common questions
FAQWhy won't my plane take off?
The engine will not start if any required part is missing or if the fuel is nearly empty. Head back out to the nearby ruins, collect whatever you are still short on, and try pressing M again once everything checks out.
Where do I find fuel?
Fuel is found inside the abandoned and forgotten locations scattered across the desert. Take time to explore thoroughly before your first flight, because arriving at the engine-start screen with an empty tank means going back out to search anyway.
What happens when I run out of fuel?
When fuel runs out, the plane goes down and your flight ends. Fuel management is the central survival challenge, so always top up the tank before departing.
Can I play with friends?
Yes — up to 16 players can share the same desert world at once. You can cooperate by sharing resource locations and splitting up exploration routes.
