You had me with a thumbs up after the first few seconds. It's so nice to watch a video of Raft without being yelled at in greeting and then feeling like you're in a hysteria amusement park for the hard of hearing. Thank you for the information about Raft and especially for your calm and pleasant voice.
Great tips!! I would like to share some that i found. 1. U can use both axes in one swing ( metal and stone). Use metal axe first and when u swing, change the slot to the stone axe. It will give two strikes on the tree in a single blow. This will speed up the lumbering and save the duration of the metal axe. 2. When u cook in the hot pot, when the ingredients and up in the air and place into the hot pot. U can pick up the ingredients while they are in the air. I usually do this tricks on the mushroom when i cook chicken with coconuts ( 2 chickens, 1 coconut and 1 mushroom) and berry for the vegetable soup (1 each for berry, mango, watermelon, and pineapple) so if you are good at it, u can cook as many as u can while saving rare food ingredients.
better info than the video. with seagulls on my playthrough, i have several internal buildings on the ground floor that they attack, despite them being behind layers lol.
For anyone visiting after Version 1.0, storage boxes on the supported side of a wooden wall no longer take up more space than on the smooth side, meaning that you can fit 8 storage boxes on one foundation and one full wall high regardless of the direction of the walls. Also, I haven’t experimented with Seagull’s interactions with crop plots yet (I did see that there’s an advanced scarecrow that fully prevents them from attacking crops), but before this update, having two floors above crop plots would seal them off from seagull attacks. Also, Milk got nerfed - it provides bonus Thirst now instead of Hunger.
Another good early game tip is to space your collection nets out by 1 from each other to get more items since 99 percent of the stuff is just gonna go into the net rather than through it
You can also build a floating platform by placing a support first and then build two triangle platforms and so on, and then remove the support. Now you have floating platform.
I’ve seen that trick - I personally don’t like the resulting look (except for maybe two engines merged together), and I don’t think it’s necessary for a fully equipped raft like I’ve got in my other video, but more power to ya! I also know that triangle foundations/floors can float on their own, but I didn’t feel the need to use that either.
@@clawsonbournegaming5491 I use it to keep my raft small...like 4 battery chargers on 2 blocks...or 2 fuel tanks or water tanks on 1 block. Or for merging collection nets so they can hold more in the front without making the entire raft floor collection nets.
What I find is if you have the birds nests high enough up the seagulls will just ignore crops. E.g. I made a pirate ship and right on the top of the sail at the crows nest is where I put them. Now they never bother my crops
Good video man, I just got the game with a buddy and looking forward to doing a play through. I have one question, if I just do that design you had with the collectors and bed is Bruce not able to break anything at all? Also, amother one, if you reinforce all of the structures around your raft can Bruce basically do nothing? Thanks.
No, Bruce could attack any of those pieces, including the collection nets. However, he tends to prefer attacking the outside edges. And, once you can afford it, Bruce will never attack an armored foundation or collection net. That’s correct, if every foundation and collection net on your raft is armored, Bruce will stop attacking. That, however is a lofty goal - Islands tend to have only a dozen or so metal ores that can be harvested (plus or minus a few bolts or hinges in loot crates), and you tend to use a little less than a dozen for tools and weapons per island, so you get very few in profit that can go toward armor. I have another video that’s a tour of my raft, and the outside edge is just empty foundations meant for Bruce to munch on.
Also, Bruce attacking is actually a good thing - it gives you an easy opportunity to attack and eventually kill him, and sharkmeat is an excellent food source, especially when used in Shark Dinner.
All you need is to armor PERIMETER foundations only. It used to be ALL, but as of update 12 you only need the outmost ones armored. Even holes in the middle e.g. your Anchor are safe. Tested this in practice through 3 playthroughs. Also, considering the fact every small island has no less than 20, typically 30+ metal ores, and you need 2 metal hooks to fully strip (except useless stone) even BIG island - its a go to way for every respectable rafter: before the 1st POI I have the lower level of raft fully armored and netted, which makes the rest of the game muuuuuch more enjoyable, since you have to bother about fun stuff, not housekeeping chores. Another protip - at the beginning when metals are scarce, use ONE metal hook to gather deep stuff, and multiple plastic hooks to gather the rest, since latter are practically free to make, I just keep in the inventory some planks and plastic and craft hooks as required. Happy surviving!
I heard that watermelons are the best crop to use for biofuel, but I don't know if that is in the recent version or a past version of the game. All of these game play tips are potentially only for certain versions.
Animal heads (including shark, bear, screecher, and warthog) are the best biofuel…fuel. Here’s why: 1. You can’t eat most animal heads: Besides as a trophy, these would be useless otherwise - The exception is Poison Puffer Heads which can be used to make Head Broth, a great recipe. 2. They’re fairly common: You’ll get 1 Shark Head from Bruce every so often, 1-3 Screecher/Warthog/Bear Heads from almost every large island you visit, and as many Bear Heads as you want from farming Balboa. 3. Animal heads are also the most efficient: 1 Animal Head + 1 Jar of Honey = 1 Biofuel. For comparison, it takes 2.5 Watermelons and a Jar of Honey for the same Biofuel. If you only wanted to use crops for Biofuel, yes, Watermelons would be best as they can be used twice just like eating them, however, you would still have other, better options in terms of value:hunger, such as buckets of milk, cave mushrooms, and red berries (if you didn’t want to use those in recipes). For a full list of items that can be refined into biofuel and how much they’re worth, see raft.fandom.com/wiki/Biofuel_Refiner
Ladders offset in 2x1 Wall: 1. Build the higher platform with legs. (Hammer 1. Row 5. Item.) 2. Place a Ladder on it. 3. Build a Wall on the floor. 4. Remove the platform from step 1.
Bee hives need 12 flowers within 1 square of them. You can place a wall and put 4 small plots on it and place 2 hives on each side of the wall really close together.
@@toddabbott781 ah ok. I don't need that much so guess it never bothered me. Although recently when a friend built a complete new raft the game glitched and it essentially doubled my supplies. Instead of 10 large storage I now have 22! The contents was doubled as well!
That is total, but foundations can only be placed in the water, they cannot be placed higher. No other building piece (whether that be walls or pillars or floors) or structure (like the engine or anchor or collection nets) counts toward that limit. There is also a new item available from the Trading Posts called the Foundation Counter that…well, does as its name suggests.
How do you collect animals. I’m fairly set up good on normal. I have all chest felt up with each building materials. My boat has collecting nets all away around my boat. But I never caught an animal before and lastly my water purifier still has not collected water what am I doing wrong?
Check out my other Raft video, which is a tour of my raft - in one of the comments, someone else asked the same question, and I wrote a detailed reply. That video is here: ruclips.net/video/lIRMqbaaTvc/видео.html To be really brief, you need to go to a large island, kill poison puffers, smelt their goo into powder, craft a net launcher and ammo, use that to capture animals, place them in a fenced off area of the raft, use a shovel to collect dirt to craft grass plots, and finally build a sprinkler to water them. In terms of the water purifier, I’ll assume you’re talking about the electric water purifier. So, it can only be placed on the raft such that the water pipe is in the water (meaning it needs to be on the bottom floor), and the issue you’re most likely having is that you need to have a battery installed in it. After that, just make sure it’s connected with pipes to your sprinklers - you can’t harvest that water directly yourself, so you’ll need at least two advanced purifiers for water for yourself.
@@clawsonbournegaming5491 Thank you for all the help brother. I figured it out. But today I wanted to do a relaxing creative world and some how it saved it over my Original game so I lost everything I worked so hard for over the last week. So I just started a new one in normal mode this time. But have very little 🤔 right now lol
You must place a foundation first, place the pipe, and then remove the foundation: the pipe will remain, and you can place a net collector below it, as long as you have another foundation directly adjacent.
how do you have hammock on top of two collection nets?? i've tried doing this in creative and it doesnt allow you to have they patched this? also it doesnt allow you to have thatch windows on both sides of hammock...
First, place the two support foundations with a half pillar and two windowed walls each. Then, add some collection nets around them, placing a temporary foundation, a net, then removing the temporary. You should have at least two collection nets between the support foundations and windowed walls. Next, build the second floor with wooden floors, each set of support foundation and walls should support a 3x3 of floors above them. That is the most important step, having the roof, because: You must place the Hammock on a ceiling, not on the ground. You are correct, Hammocks cannot be placed directly on collection nets, and you are also correct that a grounded Hammock will not fit between a two wide space. A hanging hammock, on the other hand, floats above the floor, and takes up less space. In my raft tour, I have all my hammocks on the bottom floor for this reason. Hope that helps.

Wow the way you laid the video out so that it's one smooth learning process was amazing. You laid out the entire ship step by step even. Good stuff!

I've been playing for a few weeks, and I just found out that we can use shark head for biofuel...
Wow, thanks😁, does it also work with other heads?
Hands down the best raft tips and tricks video thank you. Will you get into the other machines and tools in another video?
Another good early game tip is to space your collection nets out by 1 from each other to get more items since 99 percent of the stuff is just gonna go into the net rather than through it
Really quality video! Incredible detail! Love the content:)
That is really amazing video will help me alot in building up my raft! and you named the shark Bruce so cute.
Awesome video! I’m a tad obsessed with this game right now and these were great tips to know.
Great video man. Very helpful.
I like the design of the raft, good job! 🙂
You can also build a floating platform by placing a support first and then build two triangle platforms and so on, and then remove the support. Now you have floating platform.
This was so awesome! Thanks so much!
I like planting crops. I can make the different kinds of food and paint. Clucker eggs are also great for biofuel when you have too many eggs.
Good stuff man, well layed out. Enjoyed it, learned a few new things .
You can also merge things with rugs or place engines and anchors without making holes in the raft.

Question when you showed that you can have floating platforms on the water does that mean i could have two rafts detached from each other
Yes and no. Visually they will appear to be detached, but they will not move independently of one another.
Ok that makes sense thanks
But how do you get in the menu were you can get walls??
New sub
Thanks.
How do you get the net,Engine,The big anker,
They fixed the chest bug you can place it face and face on either side of the wall the hit box for the chest is smaller so it won’t collide
Can you make bunk beds?
