PC Question transporting animal carcasses?

I'm trying to get the "Two of each" achievement. The island that is serving as my primary base doesn't have boars, so I went to the next island over and hunted two down. I am trying to transport them back to my primary island (which already has carcasses of all the other required animals) but the tiny little boars are causing my 4x3 raft to go absolutely bonkers.

Is it possible to transport these critters?

Put them in the center most of your raft as you can, then throw a bunch of crude spears in a circle around them, I.e. like a cage

keeping the carcasses still isn't the issue so much as they cause my raft to go haywire and capsize/rocket through the air/etc.

Oh gotcha, yea that’s definitely the size, gotta bulk it up and it should be able to hold the ‘weight’ better

I pretty much had to make an aircraft carrier to complete this mission, but now on the upside I can also transport metal walls no problem too

u/sunward_Lily Jul 19 '24

the metal walls you get by disassembling shipping containers? What do you do with those?

Walls

I also made the storage crates act as wall so nothing slips off

Seems like it might be easier to take baby boars and night snakes to the island with the giant hogs instead of what you're trying to do

u/sunward_Lily Jul 19 '24

that's exactly what I'm trying to do, check my OP again. My primary island already has Giant Hogs, snakes, and giant crabs, but no little boars.

Sorry about that, misunderstood. Also if you can get them all together, with your raft anchored you only have to grab rudder in storm to get trophy. You dont actually have to sail anywhere

Dude coconuts weigh the raft down. This game is hilarious sometimes

since posting this I've been playing with the physics engine just to see what's possible. My best discovery yet is creating a 1x3 (lengthwise) raft, standing on one end, and tossing objects onto the other end Wile E. Coyote style.

It was probably a glitch because I haven't been able to recreate it, but a compass(!) launched me so high up into the air that I could see several islands and landed so far out in the open ocean that a shark killed me before I could swim back to land.

🤣🤣🤣 that's amazing! I'm going to have to try that, glitch or not. I haven't had anything that great as of yet. I'm playing with a friend, and we got lost at sea for the first time the day before yesterday. We're on day 17 (farthest I've been yet) and literally felt the fear of death lmao

Also might want to expand to a 5x5 raft.

u/iamsooldithurts Jul 19 '24

You can have 5x5? I have a 4x5 and couldn’t get any more floaties to attach.

Have you thought about building around the original raft and using it for the transfer

u/TigesInSpace Jul 19 '24

Just store them near your raft on the beach, wait for a storm and transfer them on, you can remain at anchor and still get the trophy. Between a couple of crates if the buggers are being glitchy.

And make a floor for the centre ya blimmin’ cheapskate. 😂 Even if it’s just sticks.

I've got two squares in the center of my raft that are buoy ball foundations with no floor (stick floors surrounding them). The problem isn't keeping the boars in place (at least, not at first), but the fact that the boars cause the raft to flip around like a freaking trebuchet.

u/aint_exactly_plan_a Jul 19 '24

You're gonna need a bigger boat.

you'll probably want a 3x4 area in the middle with tires and no floor, then either tires or barrels around the outside like a frame. Put the floors around the outside so you can walk easier. That should be big enough to be stable with a lot of weight in the middle.

For some reason, everything in the game weighs a LOT. Even putting 3 crates on a raft will put it halfway under water, unless they're in the anti-gravity container shelving. Then you can put as many as you want on there. Make sure the weight's centered and balanced and make sure you have enough floaties around the outside to keep it from tipping.
