I did it, I put some materials toghether to make a spear, now I can stand up against that shark. I'm no idiot, I won't look for a fight, and for sure I won't go into the water. I'll just have to wait for him to aproach and try, at least, to scare him away.
There he comes, I stab him a few times, but he is too focused on breaking the floor beneath my feet. I keep on hurting him until he gives up and swims away. I win this round, but he is not dead yet, he will surely come back for more. From now on I'm not scared of you beast.
I have a stable supply of food and water, and I have found a way to keep the shark at bay. It's time for me to concentrate on expandind my Raft. If I have no choice but to live up here, I might as well get confortable. I have a couple ideas on how to improve the design, but first, I need to collect debris faster. Right now it's just the hook and my hands, and many times materials float away before I can get them.
I came up with an idea for a net, somethink I can install on the lower end of the Raft, and it can catch any materials that pass through it. It worked perfectly, I now have many more building materials to work with, the nets work great.
Raft's expansion is going great, but something interesting came floating. A barrel containing potatoes and some large seeds that I can't figure out. I'll worry about the seeds later, for now I will focus on growing potatoes if I can. I thought of a way to make some sort of soil to plant. Using chipped wood, some teared up thatch, and anything resseambling organic material, I made a crop plot. Don't know if it will work, in the mean time, I'll continue to eat fish.
It's working! Not sure how long it's been since I planted them, but my potato farm is starting to grow. It's turning out great. It seems like forever since I felt this optimistic, if I could grow these, maybe I can find out what those big seeds are. I continue to expand the Raft, carefully building a larger frame so I can finally move in a more open space. As soon as I have enough room, I'll give those seeds some soil to grow on.
The frame for the bigger design of the Raft took me longer than I expected but it's now complete. I have enough surface to not walk around fearing that I'll fall offboard. I also installed bigger soil plots, and planted the seeds, now I wait. I decided to build some proper shelter in part of the new area. For better of for worse, I decided to turn this Raft into a home,
