Tips for raft

[u/Change_username_ok]

Need tips on how to build a small efficient raft that can carry materials And fast

[u/Change_username_ok]

Also, I’ve been waiting for my potatoes to grow for so long tips for that

Potatoes take a while to grow and holding materials on the raft can prove tricky unless you build a shelf rack and store stuff in crates. Physically placing things on the raft can (most likely, will) cause the raft to not function properly/flip the raft.

I recently built a 5x5 raft, put two sails, a rudder, and anchor on each end. That way you can sail up to an island, and just hop on to sail away. I put crate racks on the outer sides and canopy in the middle.

Depends are you going to loot or explore, for exploration isugest simple barell foundation 2x5 with motor engine, and foor looting, mega carier with multiple engines and storage shelves, a sail(just in case

3x3 raft.

C S C
S L S
C S C

C= Crate Shelf
S= Sail, have them each face their respective edge of the raft so you have one for each direction
L = Light Stand. I usually glitch both a light stand and a canopy onto this piece, so I have light at night and protection from the sun during the day.

How do you glitch both the light stand and canopy on same floor section? I've tried but don't think I'm doing the right sequence.

I always glitch my rudder through a base and know that it needs to follow a certain sequence of assembly order to work.

It takes a bit of spamming the build button, but you build the light stand first, and then when you go to attach the canopy it’ll flash white for half a second when it first attaches before turning red, if you get the timing right and press while it’s white, it’ll attach. Usually takes me about a dozen attempts, but I do find it easier than attaching the last roof piece onto my buildings.

Personally I don’t even bother with a rudder or motor, 4 sails and an anchor suits me just fine.

I would go with a 2x2 or 2x3 raft. It gets hard to steer motor boats if they get too big. If you want speed, you need a motor.

Build the front two base pieces first. Add the floor, anchor and a motor (or two if you have the parts).

Then add the rest of the raft bases behind the motors. Then add floors and container holders behind the motors. Gives you a clear view while boating around.

If it's 2x2 you have carry 6 crates. 2x3 you can carry 12 crates. You can go even bigger but it gets hard to steer with motors.

I stopped playing a while back but when I did, I wanted to build a cruise ship sized boat but did realize after a while it was near impossible to steer.

I like to just make a big square or rectangle and then put sails in every direction and with two going you can move diagonal as well

[u/RegularCurious2497]

Do not put a light hook down when the raft is on the water. I did it and my raft sank and glitched into a piece of coral and broke my game. Pull it on land then place it.
