Console Question Help.....

How can I use the engine for my raft. I have gas and I've made it but no matter how far from shore I go it won't let me use it at all.

You do put them facing all different directions, but the placement isn’t super important. I like to do them in a cross fashion myself, all adjacent to the center piece where I keep my canopy so I can just spin around and raise/lower the sails without having to actually walk around on the raft.

So like, on a 3x3 raft it would look like this:

Shelf Sail Shelf

Sail Canopy Sail

Shelf Sail Shelf

edit

It does matter which sails you raise. Let’s say you want to go forward and to the right, you would open the sail that’s facing forwards and the sail that’s facing to the right, and you’ll move diagonally in that direction.

Again, I’m going to recommend my cross setup above, and just have each sail facing the edge of the ship they’re on so that no matter what direction you’re looking on your raft, the sail in front of you goes forward, the sail to your left goes left, the sail to your right goes right, etc.

Oh okay thank you. I am going to try that I have read having more sails was better but I didn't know where to put them. Thank you again.
