[@reanukeeves1164]

thanks mate. i just discovered this game on steam and im having a blast. I couldnt figure out how to use the Research table and your guide was really helpfull.

[@Pixelcave]

Really glad to hear you found it helpful! We have a few more guides and videos lined up and have already covered a few of the basics that might be useful (Recycler, Trading Post, etc.). Thanks again!

[@mimip1254]

Thank you so much for this video! It explains so much that I have been wondering about or things that I had to find out the hard way and wish I'd known in the beginning! All the videos that I have watched so far have been so helpful. Great job!

[@Pixelcave]

Oh, thanks so much - that's really great to hear! 😊 We still have more guides coming, for achievements, more tips and stuff - thanks again for the kind words, it means a lot!

[@Froggy_Bomb]

Thanks man! Great beginner tips :) I'm super early in the game but I'm really diggin it so far!

[@Pixelcave]

Thanks so much! We definitely had a great time with it as well. Took us a while to figure a few things out, so hopefully we could share a few useful things to make Raft life easier. 🙂

Cool! Thanks!

[@vigil3273]

One of the favorites survival games, especially like the atmosphere of aloneness and locations there! It's really was amazing experience! May be will try it again)

[@Pixelcave]

Similar experience here. We didn't expect much since it looked rather simplistic, but it ended up being a really cool ocean trip, and also not without challenges. We really enjoyed it.

Great video! Thank you!

Awesome, let's goooooooooooooooooooooooo 🥰🤗 Thank you, Pixel Caves Team for this super duper guide! ⛱️☀️🌴

[@Pixelcave]

Thank you, have you played Raft yet?

[@lukrezialaval2406]

Helpful as always! Thank you Pixelcave. That means I can just toss both of the blueprint over board?

[@Pixelcave]

Thank you! And yes, once a recipe is known you can trash the blueprint, they serve no purpose. Probably a remnant of a previous game mechanic where blueprints worked differently.

[@WesRousseau]

Thanks for this!

[@Pixelcave]

Thank YOU!

[@Leslie12.66]

Very helpful, thanks!

[@Pixelcave]

Thanks so much, glad you find it helpful! 😊

[@redefv]

I just got the game and rage quit 😅. This video has cleared a lot up for me! Thank you.

[@Pixelcave]

Oh, thank you, really glad you found this helpful! The game itself doesn't tell you much, so hopefully this explained at least some of the mechanics better.

[@TheRattleSnake3145]

Is there anywhere in the game that tells you the objectives of the story islands?

[@Pixelcave]

It's a very hands-off approach with no clear written objectives. You'll occasionally find notes that give you hints, but for the large part it's exploring and reading environmental clues. Like signposts, or a broken device that needs repairing... so it's a lot more about you finding out what to do. The overall main objective (in addition to unlocking new blueprints) is always to find the code for the next story island.

[@stevenlwin2404]

anyone know how to equip a sailors hat?

[@GamerBrothers00]

What is the newest version of raft?

[@Pixelcave]

Nothing has changed since the full release in mid 2022, no new content has been added. If you haven't played it yet, it's definitely still worth it.

[@user-8810potato]

WOW this video is helpful 10/10

[@Pixelcave]

Thank you!

[@gaara98250]

it could be a fun game but theres no tutorial, and if you don't figure it out the shark will kill you over and over, and over again, then when i figured out that it revolves around building the hammer it glitched and I couldn't cast the hook, game needs some maint. but later game it is fun but if you're just starting it kinda sucks..

[@exceligence]

Not a beginner guide. Doesn't explain anything going on when the game starts. There is a raft made of 4 foundations. But it seems to be moving. IDK why. There's no explanation what is moving. And how the world works. Why it keeps moving. And where all the debris is. What happens if you steer it away from all that debris? No info on the starting circumstance and objective of the story other than just survive on a moving raft. Users do not buy the game because the assumption is there is nothing other than floating aimlessly and building up your raft.

[@superguy9834]

What is wrong with you?

[@MisterSpriggan]

You are either 6 or too dumb for this game

[@IAmSpaceman]

I completely disagree as someone who’s just got the game today and got stuck not progressing this guide really helped! I didn’t realise that you had to put wood, plastic, etc. in the research table to be able to use the recipes as it doesn’t really make that obvious (+ I’m not sure why you have to “learn” and item you already know what it is) so this really helped. And Bruce is super annoying on islands so knowing the tips around that also helped ☺️

[@exceligence]

@@IAmSpaceman No it is not. And as proven it does not explain basic concept beginners need to know. So keep ignoring the hard evidence.

[@shaon1412]

​@@exceligencewhat does a new player need to know? How to play the game, right? That's what a newbie expects at first. This video is not everything about raft. Players will learn other things best as they play it by themselves and slowly discover things.
