A great method is to use a double angle pieces in reverse to make triangle looking "thorns" stick out of your ship. They count as peninsulas but they are HALF of the resources of all other blocks AND shark will only target 1 half of the triangle.

[@toothlessgeek]

I am by no means an expert at Raft, but with the raft that gets trapped in the pond would it not be possible to ramp up from the raft in the pond, build out to the ocean then ramp down again, removing the raft and other parts from the pond? I don't know if this would work but it makes sense to me at least haha

the evergreen and desert islands are actually not that rare, you have to set the receiver to either caravan town or balboa (depending on what you want). This took my quite a while to figure out. Then they will actually spawn a lot (atleast from my experience, haven't checked the max 1k distance yet).

[@Alidove_]

Speedrunning Raft is highkey very fun. Would highly recommend! But just playing to grind is also completely valid, friend

[@pauls4522]

On my second run in hard-core through raft. 10 or so hours in this run and still no radio tower. Because... It is truly taking forever to get fortified up this run. I had bad rng and have been getting attacked by 3 sharks at once eating away at all my plastic. Wood is relatively fine because trees, but I have a hard time getting good quantities of metal this run as well because my shatk baits have been acting flakey. So I have been making store arrows, which goes hand in hand with my plastic shortage. My first run through the game was in hard mode too, but at this point last time I had 2 sharks, which is at least 4x more manageable.

[@vantrillo6360]

The deciduous and desert islands appear as green dots on the receiver, so they're technically considered large islands. They also have a trading posts as well, so they're probably not that rare. That being said, there are also polar large islands with the same biome as Temperance. We went around collecting snowmobiles and stumbled upon a few. I've played on a foundation-less run using the half floors and horizontal pillars. Can confirm that islands and trash does spawn. You just won't have access to anchors, nets, or engines, etc. But also means tons of plastic to make paddles. So having a mix of paddling and sail positioning helped "anchor" the floating raft while the crew clears story islands was rather interesting. Had Utopia despawn on us once due to spending too much time with the cutscene.

[@Jalbesbe]

The Pine islands definetly spawn a lot when you have Balbo selected. I only ran into those as large islands. Just like frozen islands with Temperance. However never ran into other dessert islands yet

[@samkohlo9158]

mmmm, dessert islands

[@kevinj9059]

Hmm, I think you could bypass those two "softlocks" using the floating platform glitch. I mentioned it on your discord: it's possible to beat raft without any foundations. Now, it certainly wouldn't be as much fun (unless you are doing it for a challenge) but with enough paddles you could still technically beat the game.

[@rouhi7639]

I think the first bit is technically a way to prevent the softlock, not negate it. I wanna test the second idea tho!

[@kevinj9059]

@@rouhi7639 Ok, I just tried getting out of the little pond, and though it is possible, the raft is too high to reach the water with a paddle. So, if you get stuck in the pond you cannot progress. I have beaten Raft without foundations before though (using itemspawner).

Shark took 3 minutes to respawn after it despawn and once you loot head it despawn. But if you only take 4 piece of meat it took 5 minute to despawn plus 3 minute to spawn and you got yourself 8 minutes of free time and 4 piece of meat minus head.

[@DrummerJacob]

Fun fact: the lifeguard game mechanic is a manipulative ploy by the game designers to force more people to open their game. It serves literally no other purpose to force some random person who is probably cooking dinner or enjoying a movie to stop what theyre doing, get your steam info and add you on steam even though youre not friends and allow them on your raft putting you in jeopardy of them just looting all your good stuff and signing off. No strategy is involved with this. Its a completely useless game mechanic that no other game ive ever heard of has.

[@jaden8084]

These were some great tips. Thanks for the one about fortification. I've been trying to test ways to not have to use so much metal. I'm going to give this a try.

About seeds and tree tricks. I want to add one fact. The most broken tree is banana tree, why? Because it has a big chance to drop 2+ more seeds by 1 plant, so, you can endlessly mutiply bananas seeds, and it drops not only bananas and bananas seeds, but planks too... So, this is the best plant to grind on your raft, if you need a lot of planks and food without discovering every island on your way just to chop small amoubt of trees and seeds, which you can't replant with a big chance... Bananas seeds very often give you more seeds by chopping, than you use.

[@finleygreene5040]

You actually can get waves large enough to get the raft out of the pond. I changed my water texture while playing about a year ago, and it caused the water to create these waves as high as I could possibly see, plus my raft started dive bombing to the bottom of the ocean, launching to the stratosphere, and literally flipping side ways and upside down. I haven't been able to recreate it though, and haven't seen any other clips of it. I didn't have clipping enabled at the time because my laptop is a toaster, and it slowed down my game too much

About the Lootbox in the Cruiser (the one underwater) we got it just this weekend.

The name of the cruise ship, Vasagatan, is a Swedish name. It's named after a common street name in Sweden, in this case probably one of Stockholm's more notable streets (though other towns and cities may also have a Vasagatan). The streets themselves are named after the notable 16th Century Swedish monarch, Gustav Vasa. The street name is divided into two parts: Vasa (the old King's name) and gatan (Swedish for street), so the correct pronunciation is Vasa-ga-tan, not va-sagatan.

I'm not sure if you've talked about this in any of your other videos, but one that I've found useful is that if you leave loot on the shark after you kill it (I will leave the head, typically) it takes significantly longer for it to respawn. Once I get to the point where I'm making biofuel, I do loot the heads off of all creatures as they fill the raw food bin halfway with a single head.

exactly. Shark took 3 minutes to respawn after it despawn and once you loot head it despawn. But if you only take 4 piece of meat it took 5 minute to despawn plus 3 minute to spawn and you got yourself 8 minutes of free time and 4 piece of meat minus head.
