Once you’ve thrown each eye down the nearest chasm to get it into the Depths, it’s time to begin bringing them over to theGreat Abandoned Central Mine Bargainer Statue. Unfortunately, the chasms only go straight downward, so you’ve got a bit of a journey ahead.

Use the nearby sheets,Big Wheels, andSteering Sticksto craft a large vehicle, then drive the eye over to the Great Abandoned Central Mine
Affix the eye to one of the nearbyCarts, then ride the rails back to the Great Abandoned Central Mine
Use theWings,Fans, and Batteries at the top of this structure to make a plane, then use the guide rail on the platform to take off and steer toward the Great Abandoned Central Mine

If you arrive below the chasm to find that the eye is not present, goback to the surfaceand check where you originally found the eye, as it may be back there again.
