Project Castaway is a survival crafting title set in the Pacific Ocean. Live the life of a stranded castaway, with only yourself - and the island's inhabitants - for company! Sail the ocean, hunt, explore unique islands and gather resources as you fight for survival.

Forget this plane. You can do nothing with it. The plane to escape with doesn't exist yet. To transport metal barrels on your raft, place a 'green ghost' of a metal barrel cooking fire, insert a barrel - BUT NOTHING ELSE leaving it green. It will stay stable during sailing, and when you get to your destination, just cancel the cooking fire leaving you with the barrel. Make sure you spread the weight evenly on your raft or else things will slide about easily, and fall off. Drop boxes are a waste of time on a raft. Completely useless. There is no better hammer in the game. To break the container locks and open the packs, use the axe. The hammer takes ages. I've seen up to 4 sharks attacking at a time. Unless an update covered it, if you DON'T harvest the sharks, they won't re-spawn. Harvest, and they re-spawn almost immediately. Take your arrows back, but be careful about harvesting. Bandages... Make a bandage, but also use some chopped up palm leaf, or seaweed. Much more effective for your health. The game is (mostly) fine, you're just using the wrong tools. Those things will be important, just not yet. You won't escape without loads of screws, thermostats, etc. They're in the game for a reason. Finally, you can put up to 3 sails on your raft. Any more is a waste of time and resources as it won't go any faster than it will with 3. Good luck!.

Thanks for the help as always! I didn't even consider trying the axe as the symbol showed the hammer, I'll try that on the remaining boxes! In the ne t episode you will see if ur theory of not harvesting the Sharks makes a difference with re-spawng 😀

@@KevLarGaming I know it USED to work, but there has been some unconfirmed talk of the dev's updating the sharks so that this no longer works. Hope not. We'll see. I look forward to it. Keep well. 👍
