Hello, there is an island at which I'm stuck, i have to get on top for a treasure but i can't find a way, i tried with different players from raft discord, still couldn't find a way to get on it, maybe you can help and make a video too ? I would love it

[@Andrew_the_Astrophile]

@@toribisha There must be a way. It always is. But If you really cant get on the top try building your way with the building hammer.

That "starter raft" cost more than my raft I had at utopia.

[@wendynone5779]

For those who don't know: - You can start off with the standard cheaper planks and upgrade them later as it just saves a lot of planks and plastic for when you just start. - The debris flow is 26 wide so even when you are not going straight anymore (after you hit something) 27 or 28 nets is more then enough as the nets are expensive enough as it is, especially in the beginning. - The pattern of the triangle plank can be changed with the "Z" key so all the lines go the same way (R for rotate and Z for flipping the pattern). - I always use triangle floors so I can get rid of all the poles below, but be careful with this because when you had to rotate your plank for the pattern to continue the placement of the traingle can chang which can have an effect on the painting patterns. - I also like to put my ceilings at 1 1/2 pole high as it feels way less cramped above your head. You then can use 3 half walls to have more creativity space for when you want to paint them or you can use a whole wall with a half wall on top. I really do like what you made here, looks really nice and you can get everything on.

First time playing this game and the line pattern was why I was even looking at this guide and like three others. I thought it absurd that they would force me to contend with line patterns that were in perpendicular directions. Thankfully they thought of that too. It is crazy it took all of that, and finding YOUR comment, that finally got me the information that I needed; "Hit the Z Key"! 😃

The debris field is 26 tiles wide. Also, when actually playing the game and increasing your nets, it is best to start putting your nets every other tile. It will give you greater reach and it will be rare for debris to slip between two nets.

[@RyeGamesOfficial]

I've heard reports of the corner actually being vulnerable to Bruce! I must've messed up so make sure you reinforce the corners too!

[@cipratac17]

Which corners?

[@robertnett9793]

It seems you an fire up the console and show the attack probability via command. And the highest attack chance on a normal rectangular raft is the corners (I believe 25% chance) and the surrounding edges at 5%. I can't tell how this exactly is weightes / calculated in the engine - as the numbers add obviously up to something above 100. You have an even higher risk with single pieces standing out from your raft (this is, where the put one armored piece every 4 tiles comes in). So you can build something like 'sacrificial tiles' where the chance is greatest for Bruce to attack. You can use this to minimize damage on your nets or if you are out for some delicious shark meat.

being I am done with the game am in a building phase and love videos like this as you learn neat little tricks you might not have known or thought about!

[@richardcagle5475]

good inspiration. i definitely changed it quite a bit, but the bones an spirit are still there :) i tend to favor function over looks, but definitely kept an eye to aesthetics. really didnt like all the dead space in the flooring, no need to have the false ceiling imo an a massive overuse of resources. and i reinforced the gathering arms to prevent boris(my name for the shark) from hassling me. my layout also allows for four more storage boxes. two i clipped under the stairs so it looks a bit strange, but function over form :) thx for the work

[@JohnSaysHi]

First video I've seen of Raft that actually makes me want to play! Most raft vids I've seen don't feature a lot of building, and I knew there was building in the game, but thought it was really basic. this looks awesome! Gonna have to try it!

[@scotte4765]

Very cool design & good walk-through for building an attractive mid- to late-game raft.

[@SirDistic]

The beginning was great. The decoration made my anxiety hate you. Everything was crooked, the cluttered table. Ugh. But this was a fantastic tutorial. Thank you.

This guy puts so much effort into every video and never falls behind schedule, he deserves so much more attention than he has at the moment, unfortunately his target audience is quite small as there aren't as many people interested in Raft as in Minecraft for example. Keep it up Rye!

the storage room is sick btw! gonna apply it at the raft im building with 2 friends! :)

[@lostinenvy4646]

“Starter raft”

[@shrelmo960]

I think that this would be more of a late game raft, I have already beat the game three times, and even with the materials on all three rafts combined, I wouldn't have enough, or I would be really low on materials afterwards. But other than that, still a great raft.

[@RyeGamesOfficial]

Sorry about that :( I tried making it pretty low cost, since its reasonably compact and the nets are of course optional.

[@shrelmo960]

@@RyeGamesOfficial Yeah it's still a really good looking raft

[@Finalbeliever]

@@RyeGamesOfficial it does look awesome but by the time you have all the materials gathered you're probably not too far away from engines and basically need to redesign.. quite alot. still awesome :)

[@Xtinction2000]

How do you put items in the smelter with them covered? i tried doing that before and it wouldn't let me.

Does anyone have an idea how to protect the debris collectors without using 2 metal ingots for 1 collector

[@robertnett9793]

The cheapest way in early game is to surround the edges of your raft with nets every other tile and put one regular raft-tile in front of it. So that your net is surrounded with normal tiles from all 4 cardinal directions. Tiles jotting out from the main rectangle of your raft are more likely getting attacked for one, and they are also way cheaper to repair / replace - especially when you have nets and can collect basic materials on the go.

[@dustindrinkard1383]

can someone tell me exactly how many items I am gunna need for this please and thanks

[@alexanderrain5174]

I am curious to see how long this woudl take you to build in a fresh survival world. I cant say my starter looked anything like this xD

[@Grfbd]

Not really a "starter raft" when building with unlimited resource though. At the start of the game, having enough resources for basic rubbish stuff is hard work, never mind starting with reinforced flooring right off the bat :s

[@SheyD78]

This is not a starter raft. It's already consumed about 20 times the materials I have in total after an ingame week or 2. All the extra bits and pieces look nice, but when you're struggling just to keep yourself fed, watered and replacing tools while growing the raft and beginning smelting, they consume unneccessary and valuable supplies. Perhaps just a different definition of 'starter'. (I realise a couple of weeks is still very early game)

[@duzx4541]

[@nlingrel]

this is not perfect until you have the steering wheel. Until you get the steering wheel, use a V or Y shape for your collection nets.

[@EnderElohim]

[@RedSamuraiVolas]

I find theas videos ridiculous they all say here is the perfect starter raft then proceed to make something huge in creative it's like they don't know what starter means you wold ha e to play for howers on survival to get enough material for theas rafts and I you are going to do creative or peaceful you don't need to worry about starter
