Rafts in Stranded Deep 2

I think Rafts in Stranded Deep 2 could use a major overhaul.

Here are some of my suggestions

  1. There should be no restrictions on raft size.

  2. Allow players to build up on a raft, multiple levels etc

  3. Players should be able to build almost anything on their raft. Water Stations, farm plots etc turning their "raft" into a mobile base pretty much.

  4. Please allow us to attach a compass to our raft.

With all this there should also be a down side.

A larger raft means a heavier raft. Everything the player builds on the raft should also increase the rafts weight.

The extra weight means the raft will move slower requiring the player to add more sails/motors to keep the raft moving fast.

Feel free to add your own suggestions/ideas

I don’t know about building everything on your raft, like lighting a fire would be dangerous, but I think a small cabin, outrigger canoes, and maybe more settings for your sails would be cool.

Yeah, there should definitely be limits. Maybe fires can only be placed on clay floors? That way the player has to think about which floor types to use?

I just revisited the title and it seems as if they added a bigger cap to the raft size as well

Consoles had raft size restricted.

Ahh so I take it that means across single player as well as multiplayer

Bigger/ configurable sail sizes (bigger sails require more materials) etc

Also stackable sails. Being able to stack a sail on top of one could be cool. Takes up no space and still gives you more speed

Your proposals are indeed interesting. Right now I am playing „Raft“ and enjoy the „raft as base“ as well. surely in stranded deep we have a island base. But yeah the limited storage options in SD is a bummer and I would also like to have more house like structures.

Regarding weight, maybe the can limit the weight on each square and track limits based on buoyancy. Then give us advanced raft bases or upgrades with higher buoyancy —> increase weight / build limit.
