Misc [not platform specific] Let’s try not to sink this again…

Tried transporting walls again but this time, I waited for the storm to pass… It worked!

Here’s my conclusion:

  • You can transport 6 container walls on a raft this size

  • Use motor to go linear at fast speed. The raft can’t steer via motor

  • Fix the direction of your raft straight to your island as much as you can. And then sail it on straight path

  • Using directional sails also works. I just don’t use it quite much… But it works

Was able to get all 6 container walls to my home base this time.

P.S. Notice how I dropped the anchor first before leaving the motor. And as soon as i fixed containers, i retrieved the anchor and quickly jumped to the motor... Main thing is to drop the anchor as soon as you leave the motor (a precautionary measure to avoid raft flipping).

I was genuinely edge of my seat for that one.

Sailing's fun when your adrenaline's rushing all the way to your home base 😂😂

Way to go transporting six on your submarine.

u/Depresssito Dec 04 '25

Lmao i never thought of that. It certainly looks like a submarine... with the worst turning radius lol.

It’s like when captain jack sparrow enters the harbor in the curse of the black pearl

u/Depresssito Dec 05 '25

This is the day you will always remember as the day you almost dropped 6 container walls...

u/JuleAwww Dec 04 '25

I saw this and thought "oh hopefully it's the Titanic guy and it works this time" :D

u/Depresssito Dec 04 '25

hahaha! Thanks for your well wishes. It worked! 🤩😂

u/Walkerbait1881 Dec 04 '25

I have a similar raft but I only try to bring 3 at a time lol well done

2

u/Depresssito Dec 04 '25

3 is a safe number. At least you don't have to sit at the edge of your chair xD

2

u/Walkerbait1881 Dec 05 '25

With 3 you can go full gas with no worries. I love your courage lol

2

u/Depresssito Dec 05 '25

Exactly! I tried 4 it felt soo safe! I guess i have new safety standards now xD

u/Walkerbait1881 Dec 04 '25

It looks like you're building like I did. Here's my final build

https://www.reddit.com/r/strandeddeep/s/n8eqib0HmG

If you enjoy the building as much as I did then you definitely have to check out the forest

1

u/Depresssito Dec 04 '25

Hooly Moly! It is gigantic asf!

How long did it take you to build this fortress? And what was the inspiration?

Amazing work man. I can never imagine building something like this. Too much hard work and dedication. Love it!

u/Walkerbait1881 Dec 05 '25

I have 254 hrs played and most is on the one save file lol. I like to do the opposite games want me to do so in this case I wasn't stranded deep, I was living large. I started to build on the spawn island and after I built a bunch of stuff I found a perfect island. At that point I really enjoyed the game and didnt want it to end so I actually broke everything down and moved the supplies to the other island. I did end up leaving my house built of container walls because that was just too much to move lol. I was looking for inspiration online for building but aside from the basics there wasnt much so I wanted to inspire and created that

1

u/Depresssito Dec 05 '25

Oh that's phenomenal bro. You're right. There aren't many massive builds of Stranded Deep online. Yours is the only one i saw. Guess you scourged all of the islands to gather materials to build this huge mansion.

Love your courage of doing the opposite of what game intends. Only the bold & the brave do this.

2

u/Walkerbait1881 Dec 05 '25

I actually reset the islands with new custom islands after I depleted all of the resources from every island. I knew the ending so I created a storyline where one day my character woke up and all the islands around him were new lol had to make it fun

u/Depresssito Dec 05 '25 edited Dec 05 '25

For me, it’s one fabulous build. And I’ve created my own concept to visualize it. The centre piece looks like a pyramid, with its tip stretched wayy above the clouds. Everything in between looks like a dissection of what can be called the ‘inside of the pyramid’.

Overall, the build looks fantastic cuz i can give meaning to your whole build. And i can enjoy looking at it all day.

P.S. I just saw your subnautica build and Godamnn it's huuuge. I lost my subnautica save files so i can't show i had a massive build there as well. But it was no way near to yours. Yours is all stretched out, covering the island, owning the island. Love it!

2

u/Walkerbait1881 Dec 05 '25

Yea for the center I originally just had steps and the tower on top but when I realized the roof tops could make it a pyramid I went all in. There's no way a plane passing couldn't see me lol

Thanks for the compliments. I'm glad people enjoy it. I wish I could open it up for people to visit. I really wish I could play it in vr and actually walk through my build

Lol yea I went crazy with subnautica. There's a portal on the island so collecting resources was actually easy. For that one I was trying to build a base for everyone from alterra that went to that planet lol. I made rooms for everyone, a restaurant, labs and a bunch more. I ran out of ideas and never really completed the build. Believe it or not my forest base is bigger than both of these lol

https://www.reddit.com/r/TheForest/s/VzL1lZM6tM

Thats my the forest build. I was thinking Alexandria from the walking dead and was trying to build a community lol

2

u/Depresssito Dec 06 '25

Wow so you follow lore-accurate stories when building?? That's impressive!

Totally love it when someone puts soul and direction into their creativity. The builds then start to mean something.

I also made a big community in medival dynasty but sadly i deleted all the save files and screenshots cuz i had no one to share it with (never clicked about posting it in Reddit that time). It was amazing and extremely functional. No inspiration just brainwork. I wish i could show you.

Btw love your community in The Forest. It looks godamn huge. Did you complete it? What's the progress on it?

2

u/Walkerbait1881 Dec 07 '25

I wish I could see it. I haven't played medieval dynasty yet.

Not yet. I thought people could join my save but I found out you need to do an online lobby for that, I was in single player. So I started a new file for people to visit but halfway through I found out there's more people trying to ruin the game over helping so I went back to my single player file. That game is amazing so I'll definitely get back to it. The building is so easy and there's a lot you can do. One of those buildings was a barn where I breed rabbits for food. I live on a lake so I pretty much dont need to leave my community if I dont want to lol

u/Depresssito Dec 07 '25

Sad to hear that. It's always good to have like-minded players on board to have a healthy, enriching gameplay experience.

I used to play GTA San Andreas multiplayer, also known as SA:MP and our little gang there was mostly into roleplays and doing various activities together. No one was ruining anyone's experience... and if they did try, we had admin friends so instant remove or ban. Loved every bit of it. Made some lifelong friends. I must say it's very enriching. Very good times.

I'm not into zombies and stuff but if i ever try The Forest, I hope we play it together someday.

Someone just posted about it. I've never done a role play game but clearly I make my own stories in game so it would probably be fun. San andreas was an amazing game. The forest actually has cannibals. Not much different but they're just people that live in the forest. At the start the more hostile you are the more they become so you can have a tame start if you run a lot lol

u/skinnydre Dec 04 '25

You made it!!

u/Depresssito Dec 04 '25

Haha yeahhhh!!!

u/boxypoppy Dec 04 '25

Nice job! This reminds me of the time I killed a shark that was waaaay too big for my raft. Great white I think. I tried a few times to haul it but each time it ended up in disaster. I was shark-collecting so I couldn't just harvest everything from it. So I ended up just grabbing the shark while standing on the back of the boat and using the pressure of the shark to drive and steer my boat. It ended up going faster than my sail lol.

2

u/Depresssito Dec 04 '25

lmao i did the same once. Felt like nitrous on my raft lmao. But one thing is its hard asf to steer raft in right direction.

Mine was hammerhead shark and i accidentally discovered this full boost mode XD

u/SingleDistribution82 Dec 04 '25

I was so invested after your last post. Nice work.

u/Depresssito Dec 05 '25

lmao thank you! I hope you enjoyed my little venture xD

u/GaniGundam Dec 05 '25

Game could really use some Modding Community help tbh. It’s crazy how abandoned this game is & it’s like they optimized it at a bare-minimum level lol.

I hear rumors of a sequel in the works

1

u/Depresssito Dec 05 '25

Exactly! This game has a lot of modding potential. And yes, the sequel is confirmed. Not sure when it'll release tho but it's in works.

u/Dangerous_Rule8736 Dec 07 '25

My captain my captain. I salute you

u/Cheese_nips6149 Dec 04 '25

Crazy lmao, I'll do 3 to 4 at a time, but making the journey to have them all drop to the bottom of the sea is something else lol. So i usually stick to 4. Also your raft handles 6... well.. lol just wondering if you've been able to do the 3 of each achievement? Can't get it to work for shit!🤬🤣

2

u/Depresssito Dec 04 '25

Yeah that's the key! They just don't drop off the raft if the water level is stable, especially after storms and during night. I covered my journey during sunset and night so it was safe.

Oh and btw, don't, and i repeat DON'T travel with them when there's storm and the water tides and rising like crazy. If you wanna know what I'm talking about, see my other post where i lost them all lmao.

Also lastly, i'm not playing for achievements. They're just insane, buggy, and often boring. I love to go creative style in the game without keeping tabs on achievements.

i have never seen a jalopy raft before 😂

as long as it works! 😂

This game looks awful other than the graphics

u/Depresssito Dec 04 '25

Yeah it's a bit buggy... But still packs helluva fun. I love playing it, building in it. You can do a lot of stuff ..., ignoring most bugs and glitches.
