How do you fly while building in Enshrouded 1.0?
Short answer
Unlock the Airborne Architect skill. Enshrouded 1.0 added it at the center of the skill tree, it isn't tied to any class, and it costs skill points (the Enshrouded Wiki lists 3). Once it's unlocked, you can fly in first person inside and around your base while you build.
Requirements
- Enshrouded 1.0. Airborne Architect is part of the 1.0 full release, which went live on 15 October 2026. GameRant lists that release date for both PC and PS5.
- Skill points. The skill costs points to unlock. The Enshrouded Wiki lists its cost as 3 skill points.
- Any class. Airborne Architect sits at the center of the skill tree and isn’t specific to a class.
- Your base. The flight works inside and around your own base, while you build.
Steps
- Open the skill tree and find Airborne Architect at its center.
- Spend your skill points to unlock it.
- Go to your base and start building.
- Switch into the fly mode.
- Fly around your base in first person while you build.
Tips and common mistakes
- Don’t mix it up with Airborne. The Enshrouded Wiki lists Airborne as a separate skill in the Assassin tree that makes gliders use 30 percent less stamina. It is not Airborne Architect.
- Coming back with an old save? Keen’s 1.0 changelog says the skill tree resets the first time you play an existing save in version 1.0.0.0, and asks you to spend your skill points again. For more on old saves in 1.0, see do Early Access saves carry over to Enshrouded 1.0.
Rewards
- A free-flying building mode. With Airborne Architect unlocked, you can fly in first person inside and around your base as you build.
- Cleaner screenshots. GameRant says you can toggle your HUD off from the Escape/Pause menu while you’re in Airborne Architect mode, which helps when you want screenshots of your base.
