[@NecrochildK]

Could have sworn Bruce takes bites out of any unarmored floor panel, not just the outside ones. I armored the outside before and he just started chomping the next outermost unarmored ones. Also, why have the advanced purifiers at all? You can just fill your water bottles at any tap from the water filters or storage tanks.

[@HavocGamingChannel]

@@NecrochildK hmmm, maybe you were playing in hard mode?

[@NecrochildK]

@@HavocGamingChannel Nope, both normal and easy mode. I've never played hard mode.

[@damianchee5339]

@@NecrochildK Late response but that was actually an 'old bug'. In the older versions before Chapter 2, Bruce DOES this, yes. It was not intended but the devs didn't fix it until recently. Now that they have, the material cost to coat your raft has dramatically decreased. In the past, rafts were built with the first floor completely plated from the 'inside out' to prevent Bruce from doing exactly that, biting the middle bits when the outer layer is coated.

[@NecrochildK]

@@damianchee5339 I mean I've been playing in recent months. But I guess I'll find out for sure when my friend and I start armoring in our two player game.

[@kendrithcrazyelf7760]

man wish there was a way to blueprint a raft and upload it for others to use.

There is a mod called "Raft Blueprint." He'd need to upload that raft himself for others to use though.

[@masashi37]

Or share saves ?

[@rigdigwus]

@@BarrenLights oh damn would be awesome to have this as a blueprint

[@IronBullMan]

ya he can share his save files but i get y hes not doing it lol

[@ilovemydog3791]

I'm pretty sure I read that regardless of how big your raft is, 6 is the most engines you need. Oh btw, best raft ever. Totally worth a sub even though the thought of the grind involved is making me woozy. The only thing missing are zip lines.

[@HavocGamingChannel]

Thank you! And I think you're right about the 6 engines

[@mikkelnpetersen]

That's correct, each engine can push up to 100 foundations, and from 600 foundations and more, only 6 engines are required. So you could have a raft of 2000 foundations, 6 engines is all that's needed.

[@honyokgaming5601]

Yes that’s the definition of overkill

[@xxriellixx978yt3]

@@honyokgaming5601 exactly

[@redhood716]

Interesting! But if I use 7 engines or more, would my boat go faster?

[@whitetigressxx]

Anchor tip, you can put the anchor on the 1st floor and access it from the 2nd floor. Simply break the ceiling above the anchor and rope it off, that allows you to reach the handle from the second floor without falling in.

[@HavocGamingChannel]

I didn't know that; thanks for the awesome tip!

[@whitetigressxx]

@@HavocGamingChannel No problem!

[@nainoa2323]

Thanks mom

[@ilei5846]

Would be nice if you could actually use it on the second floor.( place the structure down and use it) Someone who spent 100 hours building their raft isnt gonna settle for a janky looking anchor set up like you describe.

[@jays4551]

or just use a electric anchor

[@Leon-th6wl]

I like the raft a lot. To me it seems like a practical design for multiple people to live comfortably and efficiently. Friendly suggestion on the anchor topic. Even though you can't place the anchor on the second floor, you can reach the anchor's lever from the second floor.

[@HavocGamingChannel]

Nice, thanks Leon!

big oof to all you who tor down instead of waiting XD

[@MW-jm8qb]

From what I’ve heard in other videos is you only need 6 engines max, any more than that is unnecessary. If you get stranded you can wait until “unstick” appears on pause menu, then get unstuck and respawn back on raft.

[@turbogaleb]

this is the best ship I have ever seen. even better, your video and tone of your voice is so smooth that it's like a meditation. everything fits perfectly. this is by far the best raft video ever! and I love how funny that is :) :)

[@HavocGamingChannel]

Whoa, that's a wicked compliment! Thank you

[@thorlindsey4152]

Would love to see an updated version of this raft. Now that the engine controls are a thing which adds the ability to control not only the engines but also the anchor from anywhere in the raft you placed the controls. That and the advanced smelters and stoves.

[@FabioCapela]

Lovely boat and helpful video. One extra hint, though; the sprinkler's range extends half level below it, including the space directly below it, even through the floor. So if you raise the sprinkler half a level you can add another half level of medium planters, as well as wall-mounted small planters mounted as high as a full wall. Alternatively, if you keep the sprinkler on the floor you can add hanging planters to the ceiling of the room below it and they will be irrigated, which can be useful in having the grass sprinklers pull double duty by irrigating planters below it too.

[@HavocGamingChannel]

I didn't know that! Excellent tip, and thank you for the comment

Holy Overkill 😳😳😳, this "raft" is absolutely... i got no words. Massive respect for this masterpiece in beauty and functionality. And man ist just huge 💪💪💪

[@mikkelnpetersen]

I think a "remove connection to your anchor" or being able to build it higher up (as long as there's a direct connection to the ocean) would be a nice addition to the game, so you don't have to go to the ground floor to stop. With friends you can simply "call machine room", but still. One thing I just love in Raft, is to gather resources and build the raft bigger and better, gives a feelling of getting better and better. Only other thing I hope they add in the next big update, is a way to not having to change batteries, by fx. having a "generator" that's connected to machines, and it can be pipe connected to a fuel tank, so you don't have to check up on everythings battery, and with it, more electrical structures, such as electrical cooking station/grill and smelters.

[@NickRoman]

Mikkel, Yeah, with a crafting game like this, you want to eventually get to the point of having little to no upkeep. That could be the real end-game. Having an awesome giant raft like this, but having to constantly run around doing stuff forever starts to feel a bit too much like real life. lol

[@BigBoobsMcGoo]

I really really hope the final update includes blueprints for anchor controls! Just a little button to raise/lower so I don't have to sprint five floors down to stop. But also, yes, give me a damn gen and let me run power through my subfloors already. Fantastic idea right there; I am so sick of swapping batteries for the animals, lol.

[@omnomshibob]

@@BigBoobsMcGoo wish granted. Lol.

[@elbamarg]

Best raft hands down! 🔥

[@HavocGamingChannel]

Thank you! Took a lot of grinding

[@PorchPotatoMike]

It is possible to access the anchor from the second floor through a hole in the floor. My anchor is just below my piloting position. Also, you can fill your water bottles directly from the electric water purifiers and the water tanks. The old purifiers aren’t necessary.

[@swapayuu1694]

This gave me inspiration for my raft. Engine/ purifiers on the first floor away from view

[@tommivalle2652]

This raft is simply amazing! I doubt it took you hours, I couldn’t do this in ages ngl. Also, now that they added it in the update, you should consider adding engine controls near the steering wheel - but I guess you already did. Nonetheless amazing job! Im jealous now xD

This is a really good raft! I am building a coop raft, and thanks to the renovation update, I have almost fininshed the coolest hotel that has a floor for the restaurant , library, lounge, balcony and so on, and a floor with nice hotel rooms for every coop member, even though its just me and one friend that stay active the most. I wish I could show it to y'all

[@blink5789]

i know this is an old video, and the base probably doenst look nothing like this anymore but, in your animal farm you have 3 4x3 grass plots, totaliing a 12x3 grass area, you didnt need 6 sprinklers, just 4 of them, your raft looks awesome, props for the time dedicated in building it

[@sunpaul2427]

when i started i made a 5000 foundation raft, 3 floors and 50 engines because the stupid me back then did not know that 6 works for any size after 600 foundations, unfortunately had to delete the world because the world got too laggy and game kept crashing when i played there :') genuinely fun to have large raft, my idea was the titanic, love your raft, your design is so intricate and great, learned alot from it and will do a better one when i play again

[@Zephyrs_bane]

I've never really tried to build a nice raft before, going with minimalist chaos to save time because blueprints speedrun. Now that the full story is out, I wanted to do right by the game and make a raft that I could be proud of by the end of the story. Your video explained a lot to me in a way that's easy for me to understand, and the way you optimize everything is just incredible. My raft is well on it's way to becoming an OP machine, even If the grind is way too real. Definitely worth a like and a sub.

[@RDLASLB]

Awesome raft! I would LOVE to see it updated with the newer structure looks, decorations and and other adjustments you might have made, if you did any, to it since you gave us the tour back in March. What are the dimensions? I'm debating on performing a rework on our raft and the general idea of yours is giving inspiration. Thank you for sharing it with us!!

[@OscarLT321]

Awesome video for late game. I find it very hard to keep being motivated after the story. Only thing I lack at this point is titanium for larger storages. At this point it is probably also worth throwing out the 3 basic materials, since I have around 20 regular chests of it. Only other thing I can think of is to completely rebuild the raft, since it's quite a mess with adding things every time you get something new. But then again maybe that's the beauty of it as well

[@RandomMocker]

Why would you throw out the basic materials? That's how you do everything in this game, including get Titanium.

[@geraldnaruto]

Thats a good looking freaking raft, i love it. Will definitely inspire my new game play

[@BRN781-A]

I would love for the devs to implement some resource hungry late game items. It seems like a lot of the material is wasted. Also I would absolutely be glad to have a super scarecrow that doesn't break.

In a 3x3 square you can fit 7 beehives and 4 small crop plots place 1 beehive back center with two beehives flanking it then place a 2x2 grid of small crop plots in front of it so the short edges run along the 3 beehives then on the left and right place 2 more on each side

You can also place pipes under sprinklers, battery chargers and fuel tanks and they'll be filled up same as if they were connected to their base ports. Doesn't look connected but they will be. It also looks like an ugly spaghetti pipe mess, so it might not be the best idea.

Bro?! You made this behemoth, which must have taken MONTHS, and you don't have a Raft series on your Channel?!? I would have subscribed just to watch you build this thing!! I KNOW i'm not the only one upon seeing this, that went to your page looking for a series on your channel that you SHOULD have with your skill level! Missing out on Subs Havoc. This could be multiple series for you with the end game being this with various other designs that you think of. I would definitely watch it each series.

[@HavocGamingChannel]

Thank you! It took 100 hours probably over the course of a month or so. I do have another video or two about RAFT, but no series. I think a lot of people might be interested in how I built it, but it took 100 hours of constant grinding and upgrading the raft as I went along - which isn't too fun for people to watch. Slow progression and it wouldn't be a straightforward guide. I just kind of used my imagination and available resources to keep adding to it Thanks again for the supportive comment!

Thank you ! Started the game yesterday with a friend. So we are actually right at the start. And after a few hours settling down and get out life support running, we were wondering if there is much to come in later stages of the game. This is where your Video really hit the point. The USS looks awesome and there's so much to do for us. Well done! Thanks for your insights and the nice way you presented it. That's how i like my gameplay videos. Nice to watch and fun to listen. keep it up! This was my first Raft Video and I probably will watch more of your stuff. Beginner Questions: So i still didn't get the technology system. To get all that stuff ( electric Purifier for example) i need to find the blueprints? If so, are there special blueprint you can only get from specific sources (Boss Monster for example)? What's the best way to get blueprints ? Especially im interested in finding the blueprints for the steering wheel, the engine and of cause the stronger raft parts to avoid the shark attacking our raft.

[@HavocGamingChannel]

Thanks Pan Dur! You'll get the blueprints while exploring the story islands. Story islands are special islands you navigate to in order to advance the story. It is possible to miss blueprints, so make sure to look around thoroughly! You could also look up a walkthrough or guide, but you should be able to see the blueprints without a problem. Good this answer helps, and thanks again!

[@GGrey1975]

Though it would be a bit of work (understatement), I wonder how the "Overkill" would look with a renovation update 'make-over' (went live June 21)? If/when I get into the game, a smaller Hybrid version of the "Overkill" & Clawson Bourne Gaming's Raft Is my plan... though most likely trialed out in Creative mode first...

[@HavocGamingChannel]

Yeah, a large raft takes a lot of grinding for sure!

I, through his tour video... painstakingly paused every few moments and counted each segment. Long story short... i recreated his raft using the renovation update though i have not put all his decorations out as i anchored in the beginning of the game and just modded in the materials i needed to build the basic structure and it does look sweeeeet i must say. I love this raft its very cool

[@GGrey1975]

@@HavocGamingChannel I don't doubt it that at all, in fact that is why I will do research & have a plan (as best I can) - after I buy the game. As another channel pointed out that they trialed designs of what they wanted in Creative before building in actual game, seems like advice I may take.

[@GGrey1975]

@@michaelharr9915 On that I have no doubt, though there are 2 things I would've critiqued though didn't - because everyone is entitled to their own style. I will give them here, as they're simple logic - though one is more a stylized opinion than the other on the functions of the Raft. 1 - Wasted Potential: A good number of the foundations on the inside could be collection nets, which would have 2 benefits. First is that more salvage would be gathered, and second would be there would be less foundations needing to be pushed by the engines (less engines needed, less biofuel/planks consumed for moving). 2 - High Ceiling; As I said, one is more a stylized opinion. Another option to cover with would have been the roof/platform/roof/platform pattern, but this is preference POV.

[@michaelharr9915]

i used a few mods like item spawner but i recreated this raft using this video as a guide with the renovation update.

2:15 Actually, you can turn waves off if they are too annoying: [Settings -> General -> Check The Box "Motion Sickness Mode"

[@SkyReaperOne]

Cool build. One thing I'd change, would be that I'd replace as much of the inner foundations to nets as possible. If only to reduce the number of foundations so you wouldn't need so many engines to move around. Would save a ton on bio-fuel. I wonder if it'd be possible to have such a huge raft run on less then 200 foundations? (2 engine max speed requirement)

She's a beauty. I did have a few questions, though: Why bother with the advanced water filters when you can just top your bottles off directly from a water tank spigot? And second: have you tried using eggs to supply your biofuel refineries? Your watermelon garden is lovely, but I have to think adding a few more chickens would be more efficient in terms of space and effort.

[@HavocGamingChannel]

Good questions! I didn't know about the water tank at first. One hundred hours in, and I seemed to have missed that memo. As far as the eggs VS watermelons... I think it takes less time to create a bunch of biofuel with watermelons. It only take 1.5 watermelons to fill a biofuel reactor and it takes more like 10 eggs, so you don't spend as much time filling up the biofuel reactors as well.

@@HavocGamingChannel Well, she's a beautiful vessel in any case. Hard to argue with results. Great work.

I just watched your video, this work and outcome deserves a like and subscribe! Your raft is absolutely amazing my dude! I know this may be a long shot but would you ever consider sharing your save file of this? I would love to just hang out on this raft from time to time and study it from a closer look to see if I can recreate it on my own or make something similar.

[@FreshSchiz]

Awesome build man! Is there any chance you could share how wide and long the raft is if the info is easy to come by?

[@MrMacPhails]

Great video and even better tips! My raft is small as I only just got to the end of the game. However we've used the same or similar ideas! 👍

[@TheScottVampyre]

Awesome Ship. My wife and I made a ship just a bit smaller in the design of a containership. Is all the planters that ring the outside for the seagulls? those birds are always a pain with a large ship the ussually eat a plant be the time i hear and make my way over to them. especially through multiple floors.

[@MidlifeCrisisTactical]

Great video...more please

[@xLightxning]

Have the waves always been high during storms or do they gradually get higher the bigger you're raft gets too? It didn't bother me at first but after about 20something hours of game time/building (and ours isn't nearly as big as yours) i can see that the waves almost fill your entire first floor walls, whereas we've only gone ahead and made those platform floors for the first level and the waves are already starting to wash up over those.. Does it only get worse? I also read that apparently its better to just build upwards instead of outwards to avoid it?

[@HavocGamingChannel]

The waves don't seem to go above the first floor, regardless of the raft's size

[@Trancephyre]

the waves can be turned off totally by switching motion sickness mode on

[@Marcus_Postma]

Not sure if you knew this. An engine is needed for every 100 foundations up to 6. 6 engines will push any size raft, so more than that is not necessary. And if you want to reach the anchor from your steering, you can place it under it off to the side with a triangle hole to reach it from above.

[@HavocGamingChannel]

Yeah, the physics is a little strange. You can increase raft speed by operating more engines than necessary as well, I think up to 1.5x if I remember correctly. And good call about reaching the anchor from above through a triangle hole, I haven't tested that, but it sounds plausible, so I'll take your word for it!

[@Marcus_Postma]

@@HavocGamingChannel yes but only up to 6. I use the anchor trick and it comes in handy. I picked that trick up from someone on the raft discord.

[@buffaloSoldier519]

What’s the equipment @4:50? The one that looks like a grill.

[@HavocGamingChannel]

Hey! Those are "paint mills". They're used to create dye for coloring stuff
