A New Altitude:
For example altitude 6 starts generating instead of the usual nature themed islands or metalscrap islands, will now generate new human built steampunk like islands, abandoned or randomly still inhabited, that get kept in the sky with visable machinery and propellers.
These would start generating in this specific altitude/biome.
Wandering Trader:
Also last picture is an idea of instead of an island getting generated there is a small chance to generate an airship with an wandering trader with valuable loot to buy, locked chests to loot like in villages we have now in the game.
This ship will be static and act like an island and not move or fly itself.
It will be an rare encounter based on RNG.
*These specific pictures are taken from google images and are existing creations from other artists or gamers in other games and are just a result of a fast research to help me visualize and explaining the vision I would have for the vibe of this new altitude level and wandering trader content suggestion to the developers.
