I'm an architect hoarder. Priority 1 is to make all the necessities and have them look good. Priority 2 is to get all this junk out of my inventory to make room for more junk. Everything with a potential use goes in a chest or gets turned into something else. All loose items must go somewhere, even if just the trash. If I commit to grabbing it, I commit to keeping it, even if I have to go across Balboa for that birch seed I dropped.
I built the Black Pearl with 3 floors the deck (has the captains cabin, steering, and navigation) The lower floor (has the animals, storage, crops, bio fuel makers, spare beds, and smelters) and the lowest floor (has bunch of engines, electric purifiers, fuel storage, collectors, and water storage)
I'm the hoarder collector type lol.. The whole back of my ship is wall to wall chests full of 'needed' goodies and most of my ground floor is loaded with nets, 1 row down each side and a row of 5 nets facing forwards.. Plus my ship is as wide as the debris field and about 10 or more times longer lol.. It takes 10 engines to power it with the amount of foundations I have. I only need to 'clean' the nets out every 2nd or 3rd island lol.. I'm glad i'm not the only one with this problem (psychosis lol)...
I'm a utilitarian, so I often forgo making things look good if they don't need to. Though, sometimes Raft changes that to where I design fully decorated rooms and porches of sorts. Not all the time though, some of them are still very ugly, due to the fact that I also fit the "magician" type because if the floors fly then Bruce can't break them. The actual raft touching the sea may be like 50 foundations at most, including the engine space made once I remember that i once again forgot that I needed engines. It's armored on the outside and has everything requires foundations specifically. I also hoard, which leads to an area for much needed storage, which gets mostly emptied every time I start doing something.
Currently I'm at the beginner and I feel like I'm too focused on keeping my food and water meters up to focus on literally anything else; flailing around, trying to figure out how everything works like how wet bricks can be placed out to dry (which took me way too long to figure out). But my endgame? My end game is to become the overkill. A fully automated raft that handles all of my survival needs for me so I can focus more on beating the story and getting some of that sweet decorating done, I wanna turn my raft into a mansion on water come hell or...well you get the idea.
Same, everything has to be organized enough for me to find things with relative ease, anything requiring water like plants and such go closer to the bottom of my raft and I don’t leave any wasted space (even though some would consider decorative space for a kitchen to be wasteful but it’s good for sorting out the food) Also I build in the “wizard” fashion, like some kind of physics breaking upside down pyramid like thing since I’ve learned some weird ways to break the way the pillars and such but I haven’t played with the new horizontal pillars thing yet which prob makes it way easier to get a lot of space And I count the foundations I have so I don’t need more than 1 engine and I armor the edges like everyone does I think
I guess I'm fully in for Overkill - I've built and rebuilt just one raft since Chapter 2. 50+ animals with massive water and biofeedback distribution, 740 tiles, 3 stories tall, doubles or quadruples of all equipment. Sometimes I debate starting a new game, but then I remember I have to paint the raft first!
Definitely a combination of architect and realist. Restarted the game to experience everything from the beginning and I finally finished the core layout of the ship foundation. Now to build upwards and make my place "actually livable".
I am a combo of the Interior Decorator and the Collector for sure, set in a small home size for the ability to be as self sufficient as possible in regards to fuel.
Personally im a combination of a lot of these, with a focus on efficiency. My rafts always end up below 100 foundations so I only need one engine, collects all the trash, have many stories due to the small footprint and I usually try to make them look as good as I can with the inverted pyramide kinda shape.
At the moment, 25 hours into my first playthrough, I'm the "organic-slap it down wherever it fits-screw it that's where it lives now" kind of builder. I've almost finished with Tangaroa and plan on having a refit before I leave.
I also did a full redesign at tangaroa, I did the same initially where I just slapped down the stuff wherever but late game really demands some organisation
I'm definitely the overkill builder. I'm always thinking about my endgame and how to have a big enough raft for everything I could possibly need and more as well as make it aesthetically pleasing.
The hoarder who tried to build a nice little boat but realized he didn't have artistic talent and made something that looked about as pretty as a rusty school bus on steroids.
Grinder reporting in. I spend a lot of time thinking about optimizing, the stuff I use often is close to eachother (steering close to anchor and engines, water close to farm etc.). The storage is all over the place and it looks ugly, but damn is it functional.
This put such a smile on my face. I’m a grinder and you definitely described me in my life in general. Amazing video. Gave mw a few ideas to work towards.
I was hoarding on one raft. I told a friend he could build me a new raft however he liked. He was thrilled and blown away by the resources. So he put a lot of thought into it and built a fantastic raft. his wife then painted it with the 9000 lots of paint I had!
I'm a bit of a minimalist and a bit of an architect with a light dusting of decorator. The rafts I built looks utilitarian and small enough for a one man crew to handle while having some décor to look like it's lived in. Not to much décor because it's the apocalypse after all.
I usually evolve from hoarder to sorter, to architect & grinder, to decorator... usually ending a file in overkill of some sort... but to have a fresh start to the game i removed my old files so i could completely start fresh!
I'm a combination of Collector and Hoarder. Every time I build I end up with the same general configuration. Centered around having one floor of my raft dedicated to a single purpose. Generally it ends up looking like an apartment building floating on small catamaran-style hulls. Keeping the foundations to a minimum means only needing one engine.
I think another type is "The Magnum Opus", which is like a lighter version of The Overkill. Once you get a hang of the game's mechanics, what you can build with the tools, and what your raft needs to be able to facilitate for you to play the game effectively, you start to build a vision of what your raft will be; balancing aesthetic, function, efficiency, and comprehensiveness. You dozens and dozens of hours into your raft, developing it further and further, and as it develops you gain a greater understanding of the game, and your idea of what your raft could and should be also develops. You're not afraid to tear everything down if you know you can make it even better.
I’d say I’m a mix of interior designer, grinder, and a bit of minimalist. I usually have set goals and although I want to just have one world, after my goals are complete I just find it nice to start anew with a blank canvas.
"He may as well have taken a piece of your soul with him". Brilliant... But it's true, it's true it's true. Instant Subscribe lol . I am a hoarder, wannabe creative but end up coping someone else's boat cause it's a lot cooler and better organised than anything i can think up.
Grinder is probably most accurate for me. Have the goal of completing the story, doing all the achievements, while building the most efficient raft possible. Currently just missing the tiki achievement (have 9 pieces total but only 3/4 unique), and the 25 deaths achievement, as I want that one to show as my last on Steam. I put a bit of effort into aesthetic, mostly just a consistent paint theme for everything, though I do have one small room that serves no purpose and is just my best attempt at interior decoration. I'm also definitely a hoarder. Every resource in the game has a dedicated chest, multiple if it's a more valuable resource. Everything is grouped in a way that makes sense to me, is marked with signs, and color coded with paint. 101 chests total if I counted right.
Oh my golly! I love that Mario. How'd they even do that?! I'm such a hoarder, but I try not simply to collect, but to make something attractive. The more I build on raft, the more I learn, the more functional my raft becomes. But I'm also working on learning to beautify my raft as well. After all, what is there left to do on the game at the moment once you have completed the story line, which doesn't take long? This was interesting. TFS!
If I have to fit into one more than another, I am for sure the hoarder. Years of old RPGs, hold on to pretty much everything because you don't know when you will need it.
I guess I fit into the “magician” category The base of my raft only grew to be 11x9 so I was 1 short of needing a second engine and I just build up and find ways to expand it outwards like a upside down pyramid since I also do a bit of hoarding, I never throw things away ever unless I actually need to to get something more important
I would say I'm a combo of the realist and the minimalist. I tend to build small ships with just enough space to efficiently hold all the things I need. Otherwise it's pretty simple. Like my cabin in the ship is about 2x2 and that's enough for the bed so it's enough for me.
The biggest project I ever did was The Big E, USS Enterprise (CV6). It took me over a week to create it in creative, it was so massive that the end of the ship was perpetually in fog, it took 5 minutes to run from one end of the ship to the other in a straight line. In survival mode I think I fall under Overkill, my raft is a streamlined ship that collects every piece of trash in the ocean, I have everything you could possibly need or want available.
I initially thought of myself asa minimalisr, but I've been leaning more toward architect or grinder lately. Usually I limit myself to four chests just so that my brain can keep track of everything, I built out way more than I planned to, but I'm also picky about how everything looks. My favorite achivements were figuring out how to wall in the engines and elevating the rest of the boat by a level.
My style is the grinder/realist, my first solo project was a tugboat pulling a line of collection nets aswell as an archipelago of connected rafts each with their own purpose, i restarted at the beginning of chapter 2 and am now working on a boat based on The Atalanta from The Ship: Murder party
i love how i am some mix of every type of builder, i have a GIANT raft made for farming but somehow it goes extremely fast (it has 16 engines and 15 sails) and it looks good, even if i don't use pretty much the decoration items.
i always make a big X with nets on the wings. that way you pretty much get all the resources no matter the direction. you should also surround the nets with regular blocks on either side so the stupid shark doesnt break your net.
5:34 my first raft was just as large as possible with barely any bulding up, but my 2nd time around with a friend, i found myself being a "realist" and made a ship layout. im really glad i ended up doing it because it feels so cool going between the different floors, especially the bottom "boiler room" which has lots of cool angles and is packed tight, BUT the unforseen upside is that the boat only needs 2 engines! my first raft needed 4 😅😅 building tall in raft is the way to go in the long run! and of course the less foundations you have, the less you need to fortify :D
I just started playing a few days ago but I think I'm the architect / interior designer. Am I constantly struggling to survive because I haven't done anything practical beyond the simple grill and water purifier? Yes. Am I wasting all my resources on a cute little bedroom? Also yes.
I'm a mix between The Architect, The Grinder, and The Collector. I like to have a massive sprawling raft full of everything I could ever need and large amounts of collection nets ready to pick up as many items as possible, but I also want to do it in a way that makes it look amazing, and to that end I can easily spend hours making a raft that collects as many resources as possible.
When I started I was the first type, going for the biggest raft possible with all my stuff at the center. When I started running out of resources too often and losing my collectors to the shark, I started hoarding and planning my raft, constantly scared I'd run out of something I needed for the main game. But I always have a bad time imagining any design for anything. I simply don't build houses in The Sims, I buy them and I play along with what I have. So it was a huge struggle planning a functioning raft. I've finished the game and now I feel safe to waste my resources improving it. It looks like a monster of a raft that makes no sense and is not optimal for anything. But I'm still trying.
Ok, I feel seen... I have 90 collection nets and 12 chests full of wood and 12 of plastic. I also have food divided into individual chests because I have so much of everything.
I just wing it when building and will sometimes say "This should stay mostly the same shape" while renovating. My raft ended up being shaped like a hammer, so I kept going down the general path of looking like a hammerhead shark. The head collects all of the trash on the water's surface. It doesn't look any good because I'm not creative, but I'm still happy about how it turned out.
Should also specify it only looks like that from a top-down view, it's not a 3D raft, and also doesn't really look like one because, as I said, I am not creative. I just tried.
Dayum do I feel so called out but at the same time I'm laughing, I could immediately tell which one applied to me after playing Raft for a few weeks now HAHAHA Time to go take inspirations from these though, a lot of the stuff you showed here seems like they're fun to do
im a combo of hoarder and minimalist because my raft is tiny (and only needs 1 engine) but i have a ton of items in the few chests (and lockers) that i have
I'm the minimalistic-overwhelmed guy. Same in Minecraft, while other players build a damn whole kingdom with castles, villages aner whatever. I build my 5x5 wooden hut and that was it. In Raft, I have my small let's say 15x5 thingy where I just squeeze everything together, it looks horribly chaotic and for whatever reason, if I place an item at a certain spot IT STAYS THERE FOR THE REST OF THE GAME! I don't rearrange or rebuild something, if it is placed it is woven into the fabric of space-time and cannot be changed. I wish I would have the ability to build nice and put decorations on it but I just can't, there are so many awesome designs and I just sit here with this dumb nutshell which looks like a 3 year old put together lol. It is what it is ^^
Loved the video @Alidove! Can't wait for the next Raft video! I'm going to admit that I'm the one person who's going to build an Actual Historic warship in Raft just to see if it can be done, because not a lot of people are into Military History like I am. I'm thinking about trying either a Flower-class Corvette, Buckley-class, Cannon-class or John C. Butler-class Destroyer Escorts or a River-class Frigate from World War Two. The only thing that I'm wondering about is how many people can you play with, because the most I've seen is 3 people on a game at any given time.
My friends and I play together I am a story rush kinda guy and they are literally the grinder category from this video. They build and I push them to do story so they don't stay grinding forever.
I guess minimalist mixed with magician. My base is 6x6 with 3 stories. Deck 1 has farming and storage, Deck 2 has research tech and living, Deck 3 is cooking and smelting. With a small base, I easily reinforced every outside square so the shark never bites
How would you describe someone who intends to build a full-scale Versailles and then expand it several times over? this includes Versailles gardens. I am clearly the architect, but not sure about the others.
I'm an organized chaos builder. My raft looks great from far away, but up close, it's a haphazard bundle of pure chaos energy with nothing where it should be.
thank for telling me, that I am a grinder LUL fulfilling my vision was so normal to me and weird to others, I thougth that is the delineation itself and there isn't a delineation for it XD
on my main raft im a hoarder/collector, on the one my friend & i are working on rn we're a speedrunner/minimalist/grinder type thing LOL, trying to get caught up before chapter 3 comes out while also trying to make a cool raft
My sister and I played raft together recently and she always wanted to use our planks to build out the raft while I told her the set up we had was fine and had plenty of room. She eventually won, but I had to be the one who built the house.😅
Overkill here. Back in subnautica my main base would have a storage room with a cupboard for each resource, multiple gardens for a multitudes of each plant, an array of aquariums for the different types of eggs. A fleet of every vehicle. It was decorated upto the nines and I even bugged in creatures like floaters etc for decor. Overly abundant power and power resources. I had multiple bases strategically placed in every zone with all the amenities and mini versions of the main base storage and spare vehicles. Even my submarine was overly prepared with as much storage, aquiriums, decorations as possible with enough plants and trees that its interior resembled a jungle biom. Same thing in Stranded Deep, by its own equivalent level atleast. Every island i went to would have a base with storage, decor and facilities to stock up and repair my raft before exploring further beyond. I just started Raft, but BOY do I have plans! I'm thinking multiple 10x10 three storey rafts connected by ramparts on the third story, platforms on the 2nd and Nets on the ground floor. Each raft will have a flat based Octahedron exterior with the central one (made out of the original raft) being the largest (having the engine, navigation, etc) with the other smaller ones having a specific function like animals, gardens, living quarters, crafting). If that doesnt prove enough. I'll build a 2nd stage above them resembling it, connected only to the central hub.
The first thing I did when I bought Raft was go into creative and build a raft based on a Lake Freighter. The second thing was jump into an Easy world and built it for real.
I think I'm a bit of a grinder, but maybe with a bit of decorator and collector combined with minimalist... my raft isnt big and I dont want it to be, but it's a labyrinth optimised for whatever purpose I had in mind at the time. So my workshop is a thin long corridor with all the machines lined up and the chests hanging in neat lines on the wall, but the animals have outside pens decorated with plants and cover, there's a big dining room with a grand piano and relaxing area, I only keep one of each object/plant/animal (unless I need more for decorations), if I have too much of anything it goes in the recycler, and I have ladders and stairs everywhere... There's always some part of it that's unfinished as I keep adapting it as a I go and I'm never happy with it or find something new to build... It is pretty much a reflection of my mind lol.
Talk abou the farmer(agriculturist). I like to keep my zoo private with the stray animals I find on the islands. Make sustainable food crops, raise bees and flowers. I like to keep my raft in this environment.
I think I'm a mix of a few, depending on where I am in the game, early game, I'm definitely a hoarder, and I forget to update my raft instead of using materials for other things, so I tend to have a small raft for a while, when I get enough resources, I definitely like to start making things pretty, so I dip into architect and interior designer a bit. And I do like the idea of decorations. I'm definitely not a minimalist though, if the number of stones, feathers, and leaves in my storage boxes say anything....I'm still trying to find things to use those stones for. I have a tendency to grab everything I see if I can...so maybe a bit of a collector in there too...I can definitely say I've thought about doing that net thing...but I'll probably want a few engines first.
I am a overkill most of the time and ENJOY IT 😁 ..... It takes forever but the end result tends to give a lot of satisfaction ..... last build was Flotation surface 23W to 50L (total flotation pieces 1157) it was not completely rectangular 😜 😁 and and estimated 11 000 blocks of walls, windows, etc. 😁
I had to rewatch again and look at my primary Raft as the ruler to be judged by, for I thought I was making a balanced design.... I'm beyond Beginner (0:57) or I'd not be an endgame player, though a half-way point between Hoarder (1:45, as some resources like wood have 6 storage) & Minimalist (2:21, other resources are sharing chests & only what I need as gear to be productive with what I have). Being a Collector (3:88) might class as with over half of my raft's foundations are collection nets (only have a current 5x15 foundation footprint atm), but defiantly not a Pixel Artist (3:38). Though to get ready for Ch. 3, I might have to pus towards Overkill (7:43) territory in preparations for. I tried being an Architect (4:07) in creative, but wat I wanted I could not seem to do (wanted to be like the HNLMS Abraham Crijnssen did, but could not get it to feel right for me) as I did not want a Raft, but a believable artificial Isle. I have never been a Speed Runner (4:34) & after Vasagatan, the design needs to upgrade. I'm not a Grinder (5:40) cause they have a goal & I don't atm. Nor do I think I'm the Decorator (6:30) or Interior Designer (7:01) because I choose not to or risk having my perfectionist get out and spend 20 mins over placement of ONE item. I might be accused of being a Realist (5:02), as I know enough of real-world naval designs for insparation though my current build kinda gives the feel like an off-gid Tiny House(boat). LOL! The Magician (6:13) & Realist fit something I did in Creative once (but deleted), a Dirigible with a tender boat hauling a collection/trolling net-set.... might have to recreate...
@@Alidove_ With trial/error in Creative, I could agree with that statement & would have more tales to tell if I wanted to share. One 'nightmare' of a concept I abandoned was making in creative a version of the proposed "Freedom Ship", a RL attempt/version of the "Cities on the Blue" article scrap from Vasagatan. An idea I also abandoned at that time was (again, RL proposed as a "City on the Blue" concept) a civilian version of the proposed Habakkuk carrier. The former would been a Ship-shaped version of Tangaroa, & later an iceberg ship-shaped version of Tangaros, each over 1.5 km long & 250+ m wide.
We need a function where you can have a garage of different rafts you can choose from. As well as categories of rafts like you mentioned. Hopefully in a coming update
im the overkill 100% my current raft has about 1700 foundations all solid wood with 4 floors and im working on an ''small'' raft with ''only'' 950 foundations with 5 floors its a giant cargo ship
my raft is an attempt at efficiency. Open floor plan so I don't have to walk around walls. A ladder in two areas to save time getting to the second floor, ect
I keep 1 to 2 chest of each resource. Wood get's more because it's usefull. The rest is going it the nice comprimator and turned to cubes. I always have a row of comprimators next to my nets
I'm an architect hoarder. Priority 1 is to make all the necessities and have them look good. Priority 2 is to get all this junk out of my inventory to make room for more junk. Everything with a potential use goes in a chest or gets turned into something else. All loose items must go somewhere, even if just the trash. If I commit to grabbing it, I commit to keeping it, even if I have to go across Balboa for that birch seed I dropped.
I built the Black Pearl with 3 floors the deck (has the captains cabin, steering, and navigation) The lower floor (has the animals, storage, crops, bio fuel makers, spare beds, and smelters) and the lowest floor (has bunch of engines, electric purifiers, fuel storage, collectors, and water storage)
Oh my goodness, I didn't know rafts could become this complex.
Alright, this video has done it, I am buying this game.
You've quickly become one of my favorite raft RUclipsrs!!!
Same here
I think so too❤❤💖💖
Raft needs to have a function where we can join a server and players can build separate rafts, and possibly meet each other on the sea.
omg this would be incredibly awesome
oh cool, what's its name?

The whole back of my ship is wall to wall chests full of 'needed' goodies and most of my ground floor is loaded with nets, 1 row down each side and a row of 5 nets facing forwards..

Okay I'm highkey jealous

For me, efficiency is key, any second spent looking for things or any piece of trash not collected annoys me irrationally.
I don't play raft but I believe the same thing
It’s Annoying how no one posts anything about practicality or streamline fluid building that complements itself with decor as well
Same here my raft is 100% efficient just enough space for everything with a couple personality flares here and there which still serves a purpose.
Same, everything has to be organized enough for me to find things with relative ease, anything requiring water like plants and such go closer to the bottom of my raft and I don’t leave any wasted space (even though some would consider decorative space for a kitchen to be wasteful but it’s good for sorting out the food)
Also I build in the “wizard” fashion, like some kind of physics breaking upside down pyramid like thing since I’ve learned some weird ways to break the way the pillars and such but I haven’t played with the new horizontal pillars thing yet which prob makes it way easier to get a lot of space
And I count the foundations I have so I don’t need more than 1 engine and I armor the edges like everyone does I think
My Raft currently has

Minimalist Architect Magician.
I'm a bit of a minimalist and a bit of an architect with a light dusting of decorator.
The rafts I built looks utilitarian and small enough for a one man crew to handle while having some décor to look like it's lived in. Not to much décor because it's the apocalypse after all.
I usually evolve from hoarder to sorter, to architect & grinder, to decorator... usually ending a file in overkill of some sort... but to have a fresh start to the game i removed my old files so i could completely start fresh!

Absolutely stunning builds.
The grinder describes me perfectly😂
I think another type is "The Magnum Opus", which is like a lighter version of The Overkill. Once you get a hang of the game's mechanics, what you can build with the tools, and what your raft needs to be able to facilitate for you to play the game effectively, you start to build a vision of what your raft will be; balancing aesthetic, function, efficiency, and comprehensiveness.

Nobody: ...
Me; Is currently playing raft while watching this Video and is saying to every categorie yes...
PS: Like your Vids
Grinder is probably most accurate for me. Have the goal of completing the story, doing all the achievements, while building the most efficient raft possible. Currently just missing the tiki achievement (have 9 pieces total but only 3/4 unique), and the 25 deaths achievement, as I want that one to show as my last on Steam.
I put a bit of effort into aesthetic, mostly just a consistent paint theme for everything, though I do have one small room that serves no purpose and is just my best attempt at interior decoration.
I'm also definitely a hoarder. Every resource in the game has a dedicated chest, multiple if it's a more valuable resource. Everything is grouped in a way that makes sense to me, is marked with signs, and color coded with paint. 101 chests total if I counted right.
Oh my golly! I love that Mario. How'd they even do that?! I'm such a hoarder, but I try not simply to collect, but to make something attractive. The more I build on raft, the more I learn, the more functional my raft becomes. But I'm also working on learning to beautify my raft as well. After all, what is there left to do on the game at the moment once you have completed the story line, which doesn't take long? This was interesting. TFS!
Pixel art is painted foundations! I just looked up the Super Mario Bros art and copied it lmao
@@Alidove_ I don't care what you say. That takes talent!
If I have to fit into one more than another, I am for sure the hoarder. Years of old RPGs, hold on to pretty much everything because you don't know when you will need it.
I guess I fit into the “magician” category
The base of my raft only grew to be 11x9 so I was 1 short of needing a second engine and I just build up and find ways to expand it outwards like a upside down pyramid since I also do a bit of hoarding, I never throw things away ever unless I actually need to to get something more important
I am a mix of efficiency, chaos, decoration, and most importantly gardens!
I have only seen 2 minimalist up to now, never knew this was possible wow
The possibilities are endless, friend
I would say I'm a combo of the realist and the minimalist. I tend to build small ships with just enough space to efficiently hold all the things I need. Otherwise it's pretty simple. Like my cabin in the ship is about 2x2 and that's enough for the bed so it's enough for me.
The biggest project I ever did was The Big E, USS Enterprise (CV6). It took me over a week to create it in creative, it was so massive that the end of the ship was perpetually in fog, it took 5 minutes to run from one end of the ship to the other in a straight line. In survival mode I think I fall under Overkill, my raft is a streamlined ship that collects every piece of trash in the ocean, I have everything you could possibly need or want available.
I initially thought of myself asa minimalisr, but I've been leaning more toward architect or grinder lately. Usually I limit myself to four chests just so that my brain can keep track of everything, I built out way more than I planned to, but I'm also picky about how everything looks. My favorite achivements were figuring out how to wall in the engines and elevating the rest of the boat by a level.
And then there's the Spiffing Brit - breaking the game just to build a triangular tower to the heavens....
My style is the grinder/realist, my first solo project was a tugboat pulling a line of collection nets aswell as an archipelago of connected rafts each with their own purpose, i restarted at the beginning of chapter 2 and am now working on a boat based on The Atalanta from The Ship: Murder party
i love how i am some mix of every type of builder, i have a GIANT raft made for farming but somehow it goes extremely fast (it has 16 engines and 15 sails) and it looks good, even if i don't use pretty much the decoration items.
i always make a big X with nets on the wings. that way you pretty much get all the resources no matter the direction. you should also surround the nets with regular blocks on either side so the stupid shark doesnt break your net.
imagine shark coming for a bite here he would be like dayum boiii 4:28
Wheres the cute little architect house tutorial!?! I love it! 4:20
Might have to make one!
@@Alidove_ Yes, please do! I absolutely LOVE IT! 💖
5:34 my first raft was just as large as possible with barely any bulding up, but my 2nd time around with a friend, i found myself being a "realist" and made a ship layout. im really glad i ended up doing it because it feels so cool going between the different floors, especially the bottom "boiler room" which has lots of cool angles and is packed tight, BUT the unforseen upside is that the boat only needs 2 engines! my first raft needed 4 😅😅 building tall in raft is the way to go in the long run! and of course the less foundations you have, the less you need to fortify :D
If u want to play multiplayer with me. Pls let me know. I love raft. Wud love to show and experience each others rafts
I just started playing a few days ago but I think I'm the architect / interior designer. Am I constantly struggling to survive because I haven't done anything practical beyond the simple grill and water purifier? Yes. Am I wasting all my resources on a cute little bedroom? Also yes.
Ya know, kudos for stickin to it
mario galaxy music? this sparks up memories :)
It's such a good OST!
I'm a mix between The Architect, The Grinder, and The Collector. I like to have a massive sprawling raft full of everything I could ever need and large amounts of collection nets ready to pick up as many items as possible, but I also want to do it in a way that makes it look amazing, and to that end I can easily spend hours making a raft that collects as many resources as possible.
When I started I was the first type, going for the biggest raft possible with all my stuff at the center. When I started running out of resources too often and losing my collectors to the shark, I started hoarding and planning my raft, constantly scared I'd run out of something I needed for the main game. But I always have a bad time imagining any design for anything. I simply don't build houses in The Sims, I buy them and I play along with what I have. So it was a huge struggle planning a functioning raft. I've finished the game and now I feel safe to waste my resources improving it. It looks like a monster of a raft that makes no sense and is not optimal for anything. But I'm still trying.
I'm such a grinder 😂
Ok, I feel seen... I have 90 collection nets and 12 chests full of wood and 12 of plastic.
I also have food divided into individual chests because I have so much of everything.
Another one of us!
I just wing it when building and will sometimes say "This should stay mostly the same shape" while renovating. My raft ended up being shaped like a hammer, so I kept going down the general path of looking like a hammerhead shark. The head collects all of the trash on the water's surface.
It doesn't look any good because I'm not creative, but I'm still happy about how it turned out.
Should also specify it only looks like that from a top-down view, it's not a 3D raft, and also doesn't really look like one because, as I said, I am not creative. I just tried.
Dayum do I feel so called out but at the same time I'm laughing, I could immediately tell which one applied to me after playing Raft for a few weeks now HAHAHA
Time to go take inspirations from these though, a lot of the stuff you showed here seems like they're fun to do
I'm 100% the collector.
I make a 2x30 strip and a small 4x4 actual boat connected to it. My only means of expansion is adding more nets.
im a combo of hoarder and minimalist because my raft is tiny (and only needs 1 engine) but i have a ton of items in the few chests (and lockers) that i have
I'm the minimalistic-overwhelmed guy. Same in Minecraft, while other players build a damn whole kingdom with castles, villages aner whatever. I build my 5x5 wooden hut and that was it. In Raft, I have my small let's say 15x5 thingy where I just squeeze everything together, it looks horribly chaotic and for whatever reason, if I place an item at a certain spot IT STAYS THERE FOR THE REST OF THE GAME! I don't rearrange or rebuild something, if it is placed it is woven into the fabric of space-time and cannot be changed. I wish I would have the ability to build nice and put decorations on it but I just can't, there are so many awesome designs and I just sit here with this dumb nutshell which looks like a 3 year old put together lol. It is what it is ^^
Loved the video @Alidove! Can't wait for the next Raft video! I'm going to admit that I'm the one person who's going to build an Actual Historic warship in Raft just to see if it can be done, because not a lot of people are into Military History like I am. I'm thinking about trying either a Flower-class Corvette, Buckley-class, Cannon-class or John C. Butler-class Destroyer Escorts or a River-class Frigate from World War Two. The only thing that I'm wondering about is how many people can you play with, because the most I've seen is 3 people on a game at any given time.
If this was online and you could come across other rafters on some huge infinite world it would be one of the most amazing games ever made
the shark at one point ate my whole engine
It would be cool to meet other rafters on the ocean.
My friends and I play together I am a story rush kinda guy and they are literally the grinder category from this video. They build and I push them to do story so they don't stay grinding forever.
For me I love making survival ships look like military vessels like the one I made (Midnight)
I guess minimalist mixed with magician. My base is 6x6 with 3 stories. Deck 1 has farming and storage, Deck 2 has research tech and living, Deck 3 is cooking and smelting. With a small base, I easily reinforced every outside square so the shark never bites
How would you describe someone who intends to build a full-scale Versailles and then expand it several times over? this includes Versailles gardens. I am clearly the architect, but not sure about the others.
Hoarder here. For some reason I just can't have enough biofuel and must top it off every time a tank gets half empty.
I'm an organized chaos builder. My raft looks great from far away, but up close, it's a haphazard bundle of pure chaos energy with nothing where it should be.
thank for telling me, that I am a grinder LUL fulfilling my vision was so normal to me and weird to others, I thougth that is the delineation itself and there isn't a delineation for it XD
on my main raft im a hoarder/collector, on the one my friend & i are working on rn we're a speedrunner/minimalist/grinder type thing LOL, trying to get caught up before chapter 3 comes out while also trying to make a cool raft
my boat is a magician + hoarder + every technological appliance
My sister and I played raft together recently and she always wanted to use our planks to build out the raft while I told her the set up we had was fine and had plenty of room. She eventually won, but I had to be the one who built the house.😅
Yeah, I'm definitely a realist builder. My rafts tend to morph into sloops and brigantines of old. :D
Overkill here. Back in subnautica my main base would have a storage room with a cupboard for each resource, multiple gardens for a multitudes of each plant, an array of aquariums for the different types of eggs. A fleet of every vehicle. It was decorated upto the nines and I even bugged in creatures like floaters etc for decor. Overly abundant power and power resources. I had multiple bases strategically placed in every zone with all the amenities and mini versions of the main base storage and spare vehicles. Even my submarine was overly prepared with as much storage, aquiriums, decorations as possible with enough plants and trees that its interior resembled a jungle biom. Same thing in Stranded Deep, by its own equivalent level atleast. Every island i went to would have a base with storage, decor and facilities to stock up and repair my raft before exploring further beyond.
I just started Raft, but BOY do I have plans! I'm thinking multiple 10x10 three storey rafts connected by ramparts on the third story, platforms on the 2nd and Nets on the ground floor. Each raft will have a flat based Octahedron exterior with the central one (made out of the original raft) being the largest (having the engine, navigation, etc) with the other smaller ones having a specific function like animals, gardens, living quarters, crafting). If that doesnt prove enough. I'll build a 2nd stage above them resembling it, connected only to the central hub.
The first thing I did when I bought Raft was go into creative and build a raft based on a Lake Freighter.
The second thing was jump into an Easy world and built it for real.
Definitely an overkiller here. I'm working on a 33 wide × 60 long cargo ship atm. Now I just gotta figure out what to put in ALL that space. Lol
Grinder and proud
I think I'm a bit of a grinder, but maybe with a bit of decorator and collector combined with minimalist... my raft isnt big and I dont want it to be, but it's a labyrinth optimised for whatever purpose I had in mind at the time. So my workshop is a thin long corridor with all the machines lined up and the chests hanging in neat lines on the wall, but the animals have outside pens decorated with plants and cover, there's a big dining room with a grand piano and relaxing area, I only keep one of each object/plant/animal (unless I need more for decorations), if I have too much of anything it goes in the recycler, and I have ladders and stairs everywhere... There's always some part of it that's unfinished as I keep adapting it as a I go and I'm never happy with it or find something new to build... It is pretty much a reflection of my mind lol.
Talk abou the farmer(agriculturist).
I like to keep my zoo private with the stray animals I find on the islands. Make sustainable food crops, raise bees and flowers. I like to keep my raft in this environment.
I think I'm a mix of a few, depending on where I am in the game, early game, I'm definitely a hoarder, and I forget to update my raft instead of using materials for other things, so I tend to have a small raft for a while, when I get enough resources, I definitely like to start making things pretty, so I dip into architect and interior designer a bit. And I do like the idea of decorations. I'm definitely not a minimalist though, if the number of stones, feathers, and leaves in my storage boxes say anything....I'm still trying to find things to use those stones for. I have a tendency to grab everything I see if I can...so maybe a bit of a collector in there too...I can definitely say I've thought about doing that net thing...but I'll probably want a few engines first.
I am a overkill most of the time and ENJOY IT 😁 ..... It takes forever but the end result tends to give a lot of satisfaction ..... last build was Flotation surface 23W to 50L (total flotation pieces 1157) it was not completely rectangular 😜 😁 and and estimated 11 000 blocks of walls, windows, etc. 😁
I don't even play raft yet I still watch these vids lol
i subscribed!! thank you for these helpfulll vids, also i love how you explain stuff, very calm and clear. they are enjoyable to watch!
14. Let's Game It Out
I had to rewatch again and look at my primary Raft as the ruler to be judged by, for I thought I was making a balanced design....
I'm beyond Beginner (0:57) or I'd not be an endgame player, though a half-way point between Hoarder (1:45, as some resources like wood have 6 storage) & Minimalist (2:21, other resources are sharing chests & only what I need as gear to be productive with what I have). Being a Collector (3:88) might class as with over half of my raft's foundations are collection nets (only have a current 5x15 foundation footprint atm), but defiantly not a Pixel Artist (3:38). Though to get ready for Ch. 3, I might have to pus towards Overkill (7:43) territory in preparations for.
I tried being an Architect (4:07) in creative, but wat I wanted I could not seem to do (wanted to be like the HNLMS Abraham Crijnssen did, but could not get it to feel right for me) as I did not want a Raft, but a believable artificial Isle. I have never been a Speed Runner (4:34) & after Vasagatan, the design needs to upgrade. I'm not a Grinder (5:40) cause they have a goal & I don't atm. Nor do I think I'm the Decorator (6:30) or Interior Designer (7:01) because I choose not to or risk having my perfectionist get out and spend 20 mins over placement of ONE item.
I might be accused of being a Realist (5:02), as I know enough of real-world naval designs for insparation though my current build kinda gives the feel like an off-gid Tiny House(boat).
LOL! The Magician (6:13) & Realist fit something I did in Creative once (but deleted), a Dirigible with a tender boat hauling a collection/trolling net-set.... might have to recreate...
Sounds like you've tried a bit of everything!
@@Alidove_ With trial/error in Creative, I could agree with that statement & would have more tales to tell if I wanted to share.
One 'nightmare' of a concept I abandoned was making in creative a version of the proposed "Freedom Ship", a RL attempt/version of the "Cities on the Blue" article scrap from Vasagatan. An idea I also abandoned at that time was (again, RL proposed as a "City on the Blue" concept) a civilian version of the proposed Habakkuk carrier.
The former would been a Ship-shaped version of Tangaroa, & later an iceberg ship-shaped version of Tangaros, each over 1.5 km long & 250+ m wide.
We need a function where you can have a garage of different rafts you can choose from. As well as categories of rafts like you mentioned. Hopefully in a coming update
I like chill videos like this noice im definately a begineer ahaha
I feel like I'm a copycat just looking up pictures of pretty rafts and making them for myself
It's a great way to figure out what you like!
The Copycat should have been a raft type. XD
im the overkill 100% my current raft has about 1700 foundations all solid wood with 4 floors and im working on an ''small'' raft with ''only'' 950 foundations with 5 floors its a giant cargo ship
I thought I was being impressive, but now I see that I must seriously up my game.
she started explaining star signs 😂😂
my raft is an attempt at efficiency. Open floor plan so I don't have to walk around walls. A ladder in two areas to save time getting to the second floor, ect
I keep 1 to 2 chest of each resource. Wood get's more because it's usefull.
The rest is going it the nice comprimator and turned to cubes. I always have a row of comprimators next to my nets
