10 MORE Things You Probably Didn't Know About Raft 

My desk tried to murder me, so I actually have an excuse for being late this time lol. Enjoy the video! :)

I am by no means an expert at Raft, but with the raft that gets trapped in the pond would it not be possible to ramp up from the raft in the pond, build out to the ocean then ramp down again, removing the raft and other parts from the pond? I don't know if this would work but it makes sense to me at least haha

A great method is to use a double angle pieces in reverse to make triangle looking "thorns" stick out of your ship. They count as peninsulas but they are HALF of the resources of all other blocks AND shark will only target 1 half of the triangle.

the evergreen and desert islands are actually not that rare, you have to set the receiver to either caravan town or balboa (depending on what you want). This took my quite a while to figure out. Then they will actually spawn a lot (atleast from my experience, haven't checked the max 1k distance yet).

The deciduous and desert islands appear as green dots on the receiver, so they're technically considered large islands. They also have a trading posts as well, so they're probably not that rare. That being said, there are also polar large islands with the same biome as Temperance. We went around collecting snowmobiles and stumbled upon a few. I've played on a foundation-less run using the half floors and horizontal pillars. Can confirm that islands and trash does spawn. You just won't have access to anchors, nets, or engines, etc. But also means tons of plastic to make paddles. So having a mix of paddling and sail positioning helped "anchor" the floating raft while the crew clears story islands was rather interesting. Had Utopia despawn on us once due to spending too much time with the cutscene.

Thank you for your videos! They are so very helpful as I only started playing raft less than a week ago after watching a friend stream it.

I'm not sure if you've talked about this in any of your other videos, but one that I've found useful is that if you leave loot on the shark after you kill it (I will leave the head, typically) it takes significantly longer for it to respawn. Once I get to the point where I'm making biofuel, I do loot the heads off of all creatures as they fill the raw food bin halfway with a single head.

The name of the cruise ship, Vasagatan, is a Swedish name. It's named after a common street name in Sweden, in this case probably one of Stockholm's more notable streets (though other towns and cities may also have a Vasagatan). The streets themselves are named after the notable 16th Century Swedish monarch, Gustav Vasa. The street name is divided into two parts: Vasa (the old King's name) and gatan (Swedish for street), so the correct pronunciation is Vasa-ga-tan, not va-sagatan.

I didn't know people play Raft just to speed run it. you said it takes an average of 2 hours to get to the radio tower, lol I have been playing for about 60 hours so far and all I have been doing to collecting the materials needed to make a bigger and better raft. XD

These were some great tips. Thanks for the one about fortification. I've been trying to test ways to not have to use so much metal. I'm going to give this a try. Note: Just tested the fortification tip and it totally works. My raft hasn't been a chew toy for hours now and i used so much less metal. Ty!

The Pine islands definetly spawn a lot when you have Balbo selected. I only ran into those as large islands. Just like frozen islands with Temperance. However never ran into other dessert islands yet

Hmm, I think you could bypass those two "softlocks" using the floating platform glitch. I mentioned it on your discord: it's possible to beat raft without any foundations. Now, it certainly wouldn't be as much fun (unless you are doing it for a challenge) but with enough paddles you could still technically beat the game.

I love interacting with your content because you Queen deserve the exposure!

I just discovered the jumping thing yesterday! Always hated how slow it is in the water and accidentally fell in with the engines on yesterday too😂

Congrats on 1k subs!

I really like your videos (just found you) you also got a really nice voice! Thanks for all the tips and conten!

I have gotten the lootbox underwater under the Vasagatan in "vanilla". At least I'm pretty sure it's the same one. I found a gap between rocks around the boat that led all the way to the lootbox. My guess is it was patched since you made the video.

with the raft pond you should be able to build up and over the terain and build into the water again

Theres 2 secret rooms in tangaroa which i didnt know about till today when rye games made a video about it

Definitely the most informative and best Raft channel.

Wondering if you tried building a huge ramp up (using roofs) and then a ramp back down to the sea and just destroy the raft portion stuck in the pond?

I suppose I got luck with my island spawns, then. I've got a Large Island, with a Trading Post, smack dab between Balboa and the Radio Tower, with both story island on radar at the same time. Legit visited it on my way to the Radio Tower as a Tropical Island, revisited it after Balboa and it'd turned into an Evergreen.

1:50 I'm so glad they went with this system, I remember back when you have to fortify *every single tile,* I had a massive raft, and got myself a lovely armored border thinking I'd be fine, only for bruce to defy the laws of physics and shove his ugly little mug through solid wood and break the brand new cookpot I just saved up enough to craft. Definitely got me a little upset after that one

i’ve found the plane crash island 3 times in around 100 hours of playing raft, I didn’t realize it was so rare

About last thing "stuck" inside an island, you can actually move your raft back to the sea using your Paddle. :)

Nothing is more rare than having enough wood

On varuna point and utopia there is SOOOO MANY spots you can go where the only way out is the unstuck button. Especially when you use crates for utopia. I didnt even know theres multiple crates in utopia i beat the entire island with just 1

Shark took 3 minutes to respawn after it despawn and once you loot head it despawn. But if you only take 4 piece of meat it took 5 minute to despawn plus 3 minute to spawn and you got yourself 8 minutes of free time and 4 piece of meat minus head.

you can get free from the island pond if you build yourself free and creates like a new raft and destroy the old parts

You can walk underwater using the detailed plank the game just thinks you're walking on your raft

You actually can get waves large enough to get the raft out of the pond. I changed my water texture while playing about a year ago, and it caused the water to create these waves as high as I could possibly see, plus my raft started dive bombing to the bottom of the ocean, launching to the stratosphere, and literally flipping side ways and upside down. I haven't been able to recreate it though, and haven't seen any other clips of it. I didn't have clipping enabled at the time because my laptop is a toaster, and it slowed down my game too much

Nice, definitely some stuff here I did not know, thanks!

Unless something is changed, if you fortify just the outside edge, Bruce will attack the next row in, and so on

Not to be a complete one up but i had never found the airplane and boat crash islands until i started a new game with the final chapter update and my second island was a plane crash island, i was blown away.

the underwsater toolbox is openable. I recieved items from it including a drink recipe!

About the Lootbox in the Cruiser (the one underwater) we got it just this weekend. You can enter if you visit enough islands before going to Vasagatan (no speedrun) my guess is that #surviveddays is introduced into the generation algorithm making some stones smaller revealing caves that were previously blocked. ¿Maybe some kind of erosion simulation? anyway i love this game and it's weird realistic-unrealistic physics. Cheers

i got stuck at a large island when i ran out of wood and had no paddle. My sail was useless in the wind and all i could do was sit and wait 30 minutes before giving up and deleting the world

Its so funny that your raft can just get stuck in the pond at the big island

the hidden lootbox under the Vasagatan ship is actually possible to get

4:45 so you telling me i can use a chair to go trough walls? oh and also i have an idea you use detail planks to go underwater and even though you are underwater the detail planks are a sort of a part of the raft so just do a really long pathway to that cruise ship secret lootbox and place a chair and clip trough that wall!

7:02 or if you play like me it tooks days XD Once i react to radio tower i was already have a 18*22 three level raft with surrounded by fortified nets to catch everything, animal farm, food farm, tree farm, lots of chests with lots of resources.

Fun fact: the lifeguard game mechanic is a manipulative ploy by the game designers to force more people to open their game. It serves literally no other purpose to force some random person who is probably cooking dinner or enjoying a movie to stop what theyre doing, get your steam info and add you on steam even though youre not friends and allow them on your raft putting you in jeopardy of them just looting all your good stuff and signing off. No strategy is involved with this. Its a completely useless game mechanic that no other game ive ever heard of has.

For the first trick, me and my friend did this idea where we placed a diagonal roof up against a rock, then he logged out underneath it and logged back in. He glitched under the terrain and could swim around freely.

My roomie landed the captain's hat on her first island, first play through... ever. :P

You can get the crate on top of the yacht by jumping on top of a friend. Worked for me

Yeah, I found the no-raft soft-lock 1 hour in, when my raft got stuck against an island and I naively tried to disassemble and reassemble it on the other side. 😑

To fix getting stuck in the pond. All you’d need to do is build over the island and back to the water. Granted you’d need resources but it’s definitely possible

I havent tested this, but if you build a wall on the outter edge of your raft would that protect it? Im assuming walls have to be built at least 1 in

Hi, Swede here. I love your pronunciation of Vasagatan

Isn't the Shark's name Bruce? Kinda confused on why you keep calling it "Jeremiah" - your pet name for it perhaps?

One play through I got the plane island and then the captains island back to back

Your pfp icon is pretty close to the shape of a final fantasy 14 level 70 raid mechanic, where it darkens your screen, flashes up a weird skull head and then gets you to do a thing. I've been doing the raid over and over the last few days because of an event, and was a bit surprised to see the silhouette.

It's funny you mention the seed drop rates. When doing palm trees I never run out, but birch and pine I get 0-1 per 5 trees and run out basically immediately.

6:00 you forgot bananas

"Typical raft playthrough a player will take about 2 hours to reach the radio tower" Me, who was lazy and got to the radio tower after 50 hours of gameplay: >.> .>

there's a little easter egg/hidden message that plays from the radio. in between songs there will be some phonetic alphabet letters that spell a phrase.

I have a soft lock where trash just doesn’t spawn anymore

the new board from the trader lets you clip through solid walls, if you watch lets game it out's video you will see that. maybe you can use that to get that loot crate?

ive played this game through evry update an only now i know there is 3rd person hahahahahaha nice vid

i think u can use that new plank that u can buy from shops in small islands to clip through everything as seen in the youtuber "Letsgameitout" video about raft

this is a really good channel

lol the boat and plane crash islands i got to both in 10 minutes of playing my first world haha

I had no idea scrap ducks and lucky cats were so rare i have so many of them on my one hour world i made a long time ago

You can get, at least for me. There a hole you can swim through. I got it 2 days ago playing raft my first time around. I did not know about the box on top tho.

so the island chance thing for the desert and evergreen islands, is that the same for the temperance biome islands

the thing with the boar in the island you could build a stair up and then go to the water and build there and break the other half of the raft

The best tree for farming wood in your raft is the banana trees you are almost 100% going to get 1 seed if not 2 or 3 per tree

Its too bad they didn't add a better fishing rod in this new update, thought they would add one to the trading post..

that pond soft lock can be fixed by build back out to sea and destroying the parts that got stuck in the pond.

11:07 build a ramp over the island then end it with some foundations at the end?

Can the second soft lock be escaped if you build over the island using ramps and then building down with ramps back into the water and then placing foundations.

If you get the raft stuck in the pool.... can you do the plank glitch to build another raft elsewhere and then dismantle the stuck raft? 🤔

It’s my first time playing raft and me and my friend found the boat crash island 20 mins into are survival

I don’t know if it’s an official soft lock (probably not) but I got completely stuck on a small island early in the game. Raft got stuck in a U-shape part of the island with the current pushing it in. My paddle broke and I didn’t have the materials to make another on, nor were there enough around the island to use. So there was absolutely no way to get my raft unstuck and I just had to restart. 🤦🏻‍♂️ Luckily it was still pretty early so it wasn’t a huge deal.

I don’t know if I’m just an idiot, but I am currently playing Raft with a friend and it took us about 5 or 6 hours to reach the radio tower.

aint now way i just got 5 birch seeds in a row from one tree

I watched a youtube video today by Aavak today where he got the chest under the cruise ship the video is "The World Wasn't The Only Thing That Went Crazy in Raft" start watching at 11:00 minutes in and he reaches the chest at 11:50. Im definitely going to see if I can't find that route in vanilla to see for myself if its legit!

Bruce...The Sharks name is Bruce. Run the story mode and the game will tell you that.

About seeds and tree tricks. I want to add one fact. The most broken tree is banana tree, why? Because it has a big chance to drop 2+ more seeds by 1 plant, so, you can endlessly mutiply bananas seeds, and it drops not only bananas and bananas seeds, but planks too... So, this is the best plant to grind on your raft, if you need a lot of planks and food without discovering every island on your way just to chop small amoubt of trees and seeds, which you can't replant with a big chance... Bananas seeds very often give you more seeds by chopping, than you use.

Hey wow i found that lootbox at the bottom of the cruise ship didn't know it was that rare

6:29 yesterday I played raft for the first time and got palm seeds on my first island and threw them away because I didn't have place to plant them :/

Good video!

I didnt know

Has anyone posted a video of getting the metal box? I found a solution to get into the area

me with 20 palm trees sitting on the top of my raft: excuse me?

2 hours to reach the radio tower? it took me 6 lmao

Me on my first ever playthrough in my Captain's Hat from the boat crash island: And what is the actual point in thjis island?

You can escape the pond by building over the island usind stair and floors and then build new foundation and destroy the old

@alidove #alidove 1:30 If sitting on a chair allows you to clip through barriers, why not use a chair to pass through the boat's hull and reach the chest?

4:45 so why can't you clip through the boat to get that 2nd hidden loot box?

How do I display the shark's attack chance?

how do you display those numbers at 1:47?

Thanks for the info people like you are a rear thin gin this world

I reached the boat crash island 3 times

that hidden lootbox under the yacht is easy to get

150 hours on raft and never seen any of the 2% islands

wait I though palm seeds were supposed to be the most farmable

i once softlocked my world because i didnt know trash came from the streamers direction lost like 50 hours of gameplay to my stupidity

im playing raft with my freind and i have play 23 hours and only now we are geting the zipline in caravan town

I guess lets game it out made a big impact on speed run by finding how dumb his lazyness can be and finding away on how to skip/brute force puzzle by just playing the game "how it was intended"
