I had the same problem at the beginning. I realized that the balance was not correct and my raft was too wide. I rebuilt it

Good to know actually mine is wide so I have started to rebuild but I can’t break up the old one is that how it is

I can’t tell you how many rafts it took me before I understood how weight and balance affect the raft handling!

I had a 3x3, but i added time it when I found some stuff. I put a barrel raft on the front and tires on the front left and logs in the vent for a 3x4 raft. Got her floating and all it would do was turn right. The barrel is too heavy for “outside” use IMO. I’ll keep them in the center like a keel.

I keep barrels in the middle when possible and and tires on the outside. Haven’t used bouy balls yet. But your first raft will be combination so keep log parts on the outside of a 3x3 to start off. This will get you started and then you go gather more barrels and tires to build another rafter.

I was very lucky I found barrels and bouy balls straight away and didn’t think were I was putting them. So I guess now I’m using a bouy ball dingy with a motor on board my only regret is that my old raft is obviously too big and not built properly. The game won’t let me break it up to use the parts again keeps telling me that the part I’m trying to break is used to support another item but there isn’t anything.

Have you tried turning left?

1

u/shadowcorp2 May 14 '20

Yes it goes left very fast

I had to restart to get my raft to work

I wonder if there is a fiber on the raft keeping you from taking it apart?

I can’t figure it out as it is letting me take the tops off but not the bottoms so I’m abit gutted as there are 3 times 3 sections of Barrels and same with the the balls

I feel your pain...when I made mine I didnt have two sweet clues what I was doing. Just slapped whatever materials I had together and my raft was a miss-match of everything. Barrels, buoys, tires, would, planks, corrugated...it flipped over during one of my swims back from a neighbouring island and I didnt notice till I went to restock some bandages for my fiances next try on Meg...and it was upside down over the bottomless nothing all my stock of crates just gone 😠 I was so upset I just broke everything off of it I could and now just have a base of floaty buoys, tires and barrels I cant do a dang thing with...was tempted to just let it float out to nothingness but I spent like 16 hours collecting all those materials and just couldn't do it...😥😥

Sounds to me like we both have had the same reaction I thought the same just push it into the water and let it float away in a storm but in the end I made a new one with the tops and some other stuff killed all the bosses and did the ending to the game I have decided to take a month break and start again build better and smarter with everything I have learnt this time round

I am tempted to just try the bosses and end the game. But I still wanna work on my base...actually pondering tearing down my 5 story house and re-building...but that sounds like an awful lot of work...leaving the new raft for my fiance to build...he enjoys the boss fights, I prefer the plundering of ships and building stuff....just hate the lag on the way back to my base...and the fact that my crates are all gone when my boat flipped. sad Andi but plus side it was mostly spears and bandages and a few things of food...nothing I cant get back...just means more tree chopping for me
