First you need a Flight Credit (airship) or Dive Credit (submersible) which you buy from the resident caretaker. I think it's just one for the first ship, maybe two. You take that to your workshop with the lowest level pieces, and assemble/name your craft. You send it out on voyages, where it gets exp to rank up, and unlocks more zones to explore. When you explore certain zones, it unlocks another ship, which takes more flight/dive credits to build.
