The sandbox genre covers dozens of different games. Here’s our list of the best titles you can enjoy on console and PC.
Once you’ve made some fabrics on a Loom and taken them to a Sewing Table, you’ll be able to make even more outfits for your character. New clothes in hand, head over to the Dye Maker and use the flowers you’ve been collecting to make custom colors for all your brand new clothes.
Aloft is out in early access, which means the game will be routinely updated with new content. We’ll update our guides on Aloft as needed!
How To Change Your Clothes
Craft New Outfits With A Sewing Machine
Like plenty of the things you’ll collect and create as you continue to play through Aloft, you’ll find that you need a few different tables and machines before you can begin making new clothes. To find these recipes, you’ll need to continue to explore the sky to find knowledge stones, some of which will give the recipes for essential crafting gear.
To make new clothes for your character, you’ll need to have located the recipes for both the Loom, which processes your raw materials into wearable fabric, and the Sewing Table, which is where you’ll actually assemble that fabric into your new clothing. You can make clothes using leaf paper, rope, or linen after it’s been processed, needing two pieces of fabric per garment you create.
After placing the Sewing Table and processing the fabric, interact with the Sewing Table to make new clothing. You’ll see your current outfit, as well as a few empty slots for additional clothing. To make more, click the plus sign, where you’ll be able to choose a material as well as if you’re currently making a top or bottom for your character, before you choose the color and complete the work. Stash unworn outfits in storage for now, but mannequins are scheduled for later release to display our other clothes.
Check the stats of an outfit before you make it, since the clothing you can craft once you’ve got access to the Sewing Table each have unique gameplay perks only accessible while you’re wearing that particular piece of clothing.
- Leaf Apron grants a shield that makes it so you don’t get wet in the rain, and you also have an easier time with the focus mechanic when using machines to process materials.
- Leaf Leg Wraps share the same resistance to rain, but instead of machinery focus, they provide an improved range of movement for your character.
- Linen Draped Garments not only protect you from heat in inner biomes, but they grant two additional tool slots on your quick access bar.
- Linen Pants share the heat-proofing, but they’ll also boost your sprinting speed.
Your original clothing can be remade and recolored, but it doesn’t offer additional stat perks.
Recolor Clothing With The Pigment Pool
In the Machines tab of your build menu, you’ll eventually learn the recipe for a Pigment Machine, and this can be used to recolor anything from clothing to gliders! To make dye in Aloft, you’ll need a handful of different resources, which we’ll list for you below. This massive pool takes up a bit of space, but if you’re looking to change the color of your clothing, you can do so with dye in your inventory when choosing colors on the Sewing Table.

Each garment you color with the dye will require two dyes to color, regardless of how many of the color slots you put that color into.
If you’ve got extra dye on hand, crafting your very first pigment in the pigment pool will also unlock the Pigment Shelves over in the Storage tab, for you to safely stash any dye you’re not using at the moment.
