Jump Pad

"We even support stuff like multi-floor warehouses so you can stack your buildings and a whole bunch of navigational constructs like jump pads and walkways!"

- Caterina Parks's assistant Steve

The Jump Pad is a building that can launch pioneers, creatures, and vehicles into the air. After placement (single mouse click), the launch angle can be adjusted from 0° to 90° in 5° steps, and an estimated trajectory and landing spot is shown while setting the angle.

U-Jelly Landing Pads can be utilized greatly to guarantee a safe landing.

Trivia

 * During the FICSMAS seasonal event, a festive jingle is played upon being launched.
