Could you please add weapons? Sniper , etc pls For the shark

When was the last time you saw a sniper rifle floating in the ocean?

(1 edit) (+1)

I need Co-op pls it will so good

(+1)

Fish Traps and Spikes so the shark will get hurt when eating my stuff. A pistol would be a great addition with ammo craftable with metal scrap. Maybe a metal refinery would be good so we could make metal ingots and sheets to craft a gun. A bow craftable from wood and rope, arrows of leaf+wood+metal could give you 3 arrows. Just some ideas that would fit into the game. Thank you!

(+1)

Add gamemode creative

Add bow&gun

(+1)

Currently, I've spent about 3 or 4 hours on this game. I've found out that having a day/night cycle would be amazing. When/If the day/night cycle is implemented, torches would be a given. We'll need oil found beneath the waves of the ocean to craft the torches. Along with cloth made from either, Thatch or a type of hide found on an island or in the barrels. Up-gradable hammer and axe to make better floors walls and traps to set to kill the shark. More resources, like iron, steel, pearl, rock, coral. Found under the ocean as well. Glass for a scuba mask can be caught with a fishing rod or a scoop you create the same as the hook.

(+1)

Of what i gather is that your supposed to live on the raft and not go "swimming". So i think the day and night cycle is a great idea but oil could be harvested from coconuts instead of finding it.

ewww

(+1)

If you add a suggestion will you delete the thread? @Raft Developer

Add Multiplayer Option And Complete Character

(+1)

Would LOVE if you could add bigger things like an bigger cooking station or bigger cropplot.

Also multiplayer maybe? :D

yes a bigger crop plot would be great... all the potatos

(+4)

Ok, i just played for a few hours and basicly i won, cuz there is nothing more to do. I suggest making it a larger area for the shark and debris. Also add a bed, ornaments, and base defences. Also would be fun for like bad weather, and even hurricanes to mess everything up. In that case maybe make some new walls that are super strong to withstand the hurricanes that take alot of materials and time to make. It would make it more indeapth if you could make night time too, and add a fireplace. Maybe add clothes to stay warm in certain weather:make it or even armor out of shark skin. :) ok im sure i can come up with a bunch of more stuff but thats a start :)

Just realized MikhailKegan and my suggestions are similar.

love the idea of natural disasters

(+2)

I'd like to suggest a sort of "peaceful" mode (sorry, Minecraft was the first thing that came to mind trying to explain this :P)

A mode where there's no shark and you can just create stuff without the worry of a shark gobbling it all up. I got so scared when I was just trying to make essentials and hadn't built anything and the shark came and ate a quarter of the raft ;-;

when will we have it on steam?, i think this game has a lot of potential, it should be on it with a fixed price.

Metal raft parts that have additional hp against the shark

Please add something like wooden spikes you can place on foundations to scare the shark

(1 edit) (+3)

Maybe have two different physic properties to the raft that goes with previously stated difficulty ratings. On the lower two difficulties have the static version of the raft, but on the higher difficulties have a raft that need some sort of floating device that would be used to cancel out heavy sides.

Example: Put literally everything on the left side of the raft, the raft becomes heavy on the left, and starts to sink in, depending on what the player does the raft's left side could... I don't know snap off? or maybe it causes some sort of game over (player falls into water and cannot get back on the sinking raft, which then has the player become shark food?)

Charatcer customization would be cool to see as well.

Just brainstorming. Anyway loving the way the game is coming along. Keep up the work!

Great ideas! Do check me out on YT at PassionOnFire for more Raft content!

I looked through 10 pages and could not find your channel, but if you provide a link i'll support you.

This is one of the videos i have on my channel, hope you enjoy:

I've checked the video out and for my reveiw you can check it out on your channel.

thank you

(-1)

Hey, the game is very nice but I think we can make it better by perhaps adding night, it means you have to sleep in a bed. Mabie night could be cold, so you have to build a fire. adding falling damage as well would be a very good Idea, you know, things to make the game more interesting and a little bit harder in some way.

I think that its more of a building game, and night would make it hard to see for youtube viewers

i'd like a nice looking fitting door to my small basic walls and wall windows i just made, a good door

or more options like more walls more window walls more trees to have different types of colors to the wood

more things to build ofcourse, before all this i want to tell you im addicted to the game i will give 9.5\10

reallly good job, better than minecraft haha

You know what we need on raft. much more tools and items. And something else. The item nets are OP so it would be cool if u can only take items from the nets like 10 times then it breaks and u have to repair it with wood. Not that u have to make another item net just to repair it after using it too much.

You should add little islands here and there and some other kinds of fish and maybe tresure in the bottom of the sea

Please no islands. The mystery and challenge that makes the game unique is the raft and having to make due with what you have and build. Adding islands to it would just turn it into Stranded Deep.

if this game ever got a price please let us who are from the beggining playing keep playing free

I love all of the ideas, but I think that this game is more of a simple collect resources and build game, so I think that a day night cycle shouldnt be added because it would just make things hard to see especialy for youtube viewers.

the day night cycle must stay it add so much to the game making it more imersive

(-2)

You should add a Casette Player to the game, that would be fun, but with free music (no copyright). And a chance of 1% drop in the barells.

starting to sound like the forest dude :/

(-1)

Developers,please add an motor for raft,to explore the world and add islands for more fun and adventure!

please please please make multiplayer... it could be so much fun for a survival game for more than 1 player.... another thing when you stand in the sun u can see the shadow of yourself.... but the shadow show that i have only 2 hands not body... a little funny thing

The devs have already stated this multiple times that multiplayer is not planned for the foreseeable future.

Loving your game! Well done!


I have a idea which maybe will be in future as its a bit complicated. Im guessing you are working on underwater already? Anyways if you ever get to that it would be awesome to swim down deep in the ocean and spear fish while collecting items. I had an idea for a item you could find. So you could add large/medium sized clam shells which you could use to build a rain collector. Maybe you need a plank and a shell and then you mount it to your boat and if/when it rains you can collect water from it! Also another idea would be to add weather. And also add fishing nets which you cast in the water and wait a while then after you get 2 to 5 fish if you're lucky.

(1 edit)

The ability to steer the raft, and have small islands for players to explore would be great

(+3)(-1)

Hello, please add:

- The Meaning of the game .Dont just to survive,And to survive for some time or swim away

- Time and weather

-varieties Sharks, fish, vegetables, trees

-The Bed, that is, the need for sleep

-multiplayer

-bow

-Speeding, Running

-clothing

- temperature

Sorry for my english, simply because the other country.Good game !!!

Multiplayer is not planned for the foreseeable future.

Go check out the Raft Multiplayer mod. It is already done.

(+2)

There are lots of ideas so let's get started and let me in the comments what do you think or add more.LOVE THIS GAME !

SPECIAL : Weekly updates like "The Forest"

1. Add waves and make the raft "float",move up and down with the water. Also why not Rogue Waves for a developed version where your Raft can be damaged.

2. Add NPCs : more sharks, bigger sharks, whales, trading posts on islands, birds, shipwrecked humans that you help.

3. A story when you start the game to tell you how on earth you got there ? Without any endings or such.

4. Achievements for building, acquiring, killing,etc...

5. Clothes made of shark skin (later updates maybe of gold that you gather from islands)

6. Add day/night cycle, rain, thunderstorm places where you leave the raft (they said the raft will me mobile:D) and gather very rare materials protected by Ancient Pigs with Golden Swords and then show off at others. Also whirlpools that you should avoid.

7. Climate and seasons when more materials come or they don't at all.

8. Furniture : bed, blinds, curtains, torch lamp...

(+1)

ye when u kill a shark u get 5% chance to get one of 5 pieces to get his full shark clothes so when u go explore underwater u cant be detected by the shark

and ye ancient items that u can find underwater would be great ,but I guess that's not for the next update they're working on the basics

Of course not for the very next update but it's good to suggest

"Ancient Pigs with Golden Swords"

"Golden clothes"

I left Minecraft for a reason, I don't want this game to go that way too.
Sorry if you get butthurt from this, just wanted to point something out.

Chest capacity increase or allow for bigger stacks when items are in chest, also having shift + mouse click to transfer stacks between inventories with ctrl + mouse click to split\transfer half stacks etc.

Slopped\Triangular\Ramp pieces for building

Random current changes, so you have resources arrive from different places

Trees take longer to grow for added challenge. Different types of trees that yield more of certain resource type

(+2)

The game, so far, is amazing and I can see so much potential for it.

The main problem I have found is limited resources. So, what you could do is this:

- Add Tarp scrap to debris (With this you might be able to add a Rain Collector using tarp, planks and a tin can)
- Add day/night cycle, perhaps combined with the previously implemented dynamic lighting.
- A weather cycle. Rain storms could hit the raft and maybe damage parts, as well as pushing you off into the sharks' grips.
- Debris from destroying buildings. Countless times I have been placing foundations and walls and forgetting to rotate or place the pieces, thus annoying me when I do not get, perhaps, rope or thatch or planks back.
- I know this has been said previously, but possibly expand the opportunities for food and water.
- CROUCHING. I don't even know why I want this in the game... But I feel like it has to be said.
- Sprinting, however I will say that maybe if you are below a quarter full on either food or water (or both). Countless minutes have been spent walking slowly to the other side of my mansion to find that half my building gets wiped out by Jerry (my pet shark I will never kill because of my lack of being able to sprint to him


Thanks for reading,

- Toby <3

My IMPORTANT suggestions for Raft:

- Add Birds in game, to fly on the sky. Killing these Birds to drop 1 meat morsel (ex. calling: Pelican meat, or

something like that)

- Make possibility to craft a Bow with Arrows - Crafting 2 or 3 Arrows: (optional)1 Metal + 1 Plank (because the Plank and Metal are too big to craft only one Arrow)

- Crafting Bow: 1 Rope + 1 Plank

- Job: Hunting the Birds (ex. Pelicans)

- When you catch one Barrel, to get the stuff inside, BUT to remain in inventory this Barrel empty and to can put Barrel on, like one Chest. You can fill it with what you want. And.. Oh yeah, and to don't be stacked because this is NO REALISTIC.

(+1)

Add the following news please:

-can reinforce structures with metal

-Most types of food and trees

-A system of automatic water collection.

-Button to crouch

-New sounds for the shark

- Shark defense system

-Cycle of day and night

-Camping to move overnight

-Harpoon

-furnace (more than 1 food in it)

-More spaces in the inventory

-can dive

-to be able to hit the shark with the axe

a story to the game ? :3 (not a story that can stop u from playing I mean some eastereggs that have meanings)

also islands sounds like a great idea

(4 edits) (+2)

Hopefully the Developers reads all the Comments in this Thread. (Well, not all but, you know.)

First off, Day and Night Cycle really Important. Sure that you guys are working on this but, I'll just leave It here.

- a Way to Reinforce the Foundations, E.g Foundation ---> Reinforced Foundation ---> Metal Reinforced Foundation etc.

- Difficulty Options, with Increasing Sharks the Harder the Difficulty is Set.

- Breaking/Health Animations for Certain Objects If not, all. *Important* Since you wouldn't know when the Foundations are being Gnawed at and rendering the Repair Useless. Trees as well. (The Forest)

-Probably make the Foundation more Larger?

-Animations for the water! like, you know, Wavy! the Raft needs to be Wavy since It's floating on Water.

-Variety of Sharks? Megalodon :D

-Weather!

-Islands? Subnautica?

-Wreckage of Ships that you can loot on! and maybe find a Diving Suit or a Rebreather!

-Upgrade the Graphics? or is it Change the Engine? not sure but It'll be nice If you guys could really bring out the life on the Water since It's 90% Water (Unless you played for 2-4 Hours) anyways. Seeing Subnautica's Waters is really good.

-Temperature! when night, the Cold strikes. You'll need to stay Warm or else you'll die out of Hyperthermia and too much heat as well. Vice versa.

-Realistic Weights so that when you don't upgrade your foundation when you put certain Objects like the Tree farm? (Forgot the name) It won't Sink.

*Edit - and a Backpack as well. a Craftable one and one that you can find somewhere.

-Variety of food. (Though the Coconuts are enough to last your entire life killing Thousands of Sharks).

-Spoilage of Food and more Crafting!

*Eh, forgot one thing.. the Harpoon! where you'll find It on some Ship Wrecked Yatch along the way.

*I Forgot one again, SPIKES! or TRAPS for the DAMN Sharks to Gnaw into! they'll get stuck into It and have time to go the Shark and kill It! though If you are late, they'll get away and be More Aggressive Afterwards. Just to add a Few Seconds before they escape again.

*Sorry, Last one. Crafting! Bows, with a Variety of Arrows that you can Craft, a Reinforced one and a Metal Reinforced one. and on How long you have drawn the Bow, the More damage It deals. It's good for have the Shark stop gnawing the Foundation. best for when the Shark is Trap you can the one shot It. also good for hunting down Birds and Collect their Feathers. *Note* Feathers and Sticks are needed in order to Craft the Arrows. Planks = 4-6 Sticks and Feathers sometimes Drop on the Sky or when you hit Birds that Stops by to your Raft.

-Specific Storage for Objects :D Food Storage and what not.

That's all I Could think for now. :) hopefully this won't be another Stranded Deep.

More structures that can be interacted with i.e cooking stations that can combined foods with spices etc that are grown to create food that fills more hunger? Stations to create more tools/weapons for defending raft? More equipment for fishing?

Raft upgrades? Upgrade the raft from wood to stronger materials for shark attacks.

Lights?

Day/Night cycles? implement beds to speed up cycles.

Decoration blocks to spruce up buildings created on the raft?

Hi dear developer, my idea is to add Co-op in your great game cuz if solo is this cool if you would add co-op, then your game would blow up the franchise of survival type of games!

build like small islands where u can pick some other stuff too

boat to move on water

you can kill shark to get food or skin from her (+ more sharks that are under water)

Clothes

Winter, Summer, Autumn Spring that cycle

to make metal structures (metal boat)

Make thing more realistic = food, lower its value and let it be rare, but alson let hunger gets lower

Day and night

Multiplayer would be great

Multiplayer is not planned for the foreseeable future.

(+1)

Hello ! I sincerely adore your game, which has great potential, and I apologize in advance if the ideas have already been said, or if my English is bad, I use google translation! : 3
- To start, you should add some weather. For example, storms could destroy our home.
- Why not, add islands, to find some things not found at sea.
- Add electricity to make mechanics more perfomante, after that is not the most important, in my opinion.
- Add various kinds of sharks, with different capacities, or, add other marine predators which would be much more funny!
- ADD THE MULTIPLAYER.
- In case you did not read up, add the multiplayer!
- Put the Day / Night cycle
- Add sickness states, open wounds on the shark bites you.
Thank you for taking the time to read all this!

Multiplayer is not planned for the foreseeable future.

no joke one thing i want rn because u did all the other stuff we asked for is a small island that can appear if you spend enough time playing

add online and more crafteable objects
(1 edit) (+2)(-2)

1. Multiplayer

2. Fixed a bug in the destruction of the box things disappear!

3. Add more options in crafting.

4. Add a line, the artist subjects.

5. The ability to breed sea creatures.

6. Add more animals.

7. Add a variety of weapons (bows, arrows, spear to the destruction of sharks, and so on ...)

8. PLEASE ADD THE NIGHT TIME DAY

9. Add the ability to fly around the world on his raft, but it turns out that the raft raft, just standing still.

10. Add the ability to find the boat, using №9 and loot

12. Add a combination of items, for example (3 in 1 stove bridge the large oven, the same with water)

13. Сhange the appearance of the hook!

Thanks to the developer of such an interesting game, it has a great future!

WHO agreed to these proposals PUT +)

The game would be more fun if there would be more things to build like tabels, beds and chairs. It would also be nice if there would be different seeds like carrots or tomatoes. It would also be fun if you could dive to the bottoom of the ocean to gather things like chests or so. Also, there could be different fisching rods that the player has to make to get better fish. New textures or different materials would be fun, forexample if you could add armor to your foundation so it is harder for the shark to destroy it.

Ps: Love the game, already made a huge raft with more than 15 floors. XD

hope you like some of the ideas.

(+2)

Add backpack made of shark skin or even made of wood and rope, we really need more mobile space

It will be great to make day/night, more items/crafts and add islands where you can build houses and have more options in game :D

Add Multiplayer mode and make some difficult on the game:

Peaceful-No sharks

Easy-No thirst and food

Normal-Sharks and thirst and food

Hard-Sharks on 3 minutes,faster thirst and food

This has been stated many times, multiplayer is NOT being planned for the foreseeable future.

put a multiplayer mod

Multiplayer is NOT being planned for the foreseeable future. This has been stated many times.

And it will continue to keep being asked for. People can't read.

Sadly, that's true. I'll ask the developers to sticky a FAQ topic/thread.

There's already a FAQ stickied and locked and contains the multiplayer message. Like I said, people just don't read.

Multiplayer!

I want to play with my friend :D, I like the game very much but i wanna to like it more when I can play in two :D

I mean, that I can make that adventure with him.

The ship's wreck in the Behind.

(+2)(-2)

Hello Mr developer I would like that you unsubscribed:

-Languages (such as French)

-Boats to go from island to island - new kinds of food (such as rice)
-Play with a controllers - add at night and therefore add a bed or can be a torch to light the night or a flashlight battery - powered add storm tides that destroy a little structure.
-Have a little less life.
-Have the possibility of improved its weapons - integrate the stone as new material
-Add a Thermostat
-Add doors, flower boxes, the table or we can put our screen shot of the game
-a combination to swim faster - a multiplayer mod online
-For food to become continental at a time

Thanks for the listen.
Good bye

You need to add like night time and a bed and that you can sleep :)

Multiplayer? idk i think with a good bit of additions and a harder gameplay mechanic multiplayer would be fun and interesting maybe with voice but at least with text so you can possibly set up a way to communicate via vice like dicord or skype but have public and private options with 1 or more rafts that you would have to connect (if multiple) or transport boats for trade if you decide not to connect. with 2 rafts there would be the idea of glitches happening with sharks locking on tho structures how many there would be etc

but i think multiplayer could be very cool especially with higher difficulty and maybe different modes or game varients

Very Good game. But needs lots of fixes. For example: When you are Dehydrating it would be good if the personage no cough so much, wich is a little annoying. I would like the posibility of navigate and find an Island and do a kind of bridge that connect both. I´d like ambientation sound and songs depending the moment. When the shark is coming to you suspense you know. Of course the most big missing thing there is the Multiplayer... The multiplayer would be a very big step in the right direction. It will Attract so much players. with pve and pvp servers.

Add more Languages. Spanish is the 2cnd Obligatory language you must put on the game. And then Italian, French, Portuguese, Russian

Deleted 7 years ago

Add a harpoon gun to catch whales and sharks with different type of harpoons that have a higher strength hook or rope more damage or better capacity to draw or reel in prey and a system of decay for food or liquids turning into inedible or undrinkable

I think you should add some kind of multiplayer. The game is really enjoyable right now and i think the aspect of playing with your friends goes along way and for me atleast is what makes games fun!. This game is a really good on that i could see playing with friends and think it would be your best implementation to date.

Multiplayer is not being planned for the foreseeable future.

(+1)

Add a new topic page to go along with devlogs to tell us what is going to be added in the net update what is being worked on and what wil hapen in future updates farther down the line

+1 for this!

This game would be amazing and i'd love to see it multiplayer, and i know me and alot of people could say the same

Multiplayer is not being planned for the foreseeable future.

Good I think it should have multiplayer mode and have how to activate pvp in the game menu

I love this idea but I know it can be difficult to support. Imagine if it could be multi platform too!! :)

Multiplayer is not being planned for the foreseeable future. The developers have already stated this.

HIYA! was playing the game this morning, Great fun. Cant wait to see this develop with time. for now one BIG thing i would say is make the food/water decrease time longer (so you don't have to eat/drink as often) also add more food types, Carrots etc and maybe more types of fish!

Can't wait to see this as the updates roll out!

I would like an "easy" option (especially helpful for those on a macbook). I also get that it is a survivor game but always sad to lose such a beautiful home I've built (here is where some secondary revenue could be earned). Not that we could lay down but furniture and roof. Perhaps even further into the game we could make it through a night/day/rain/wind scenario but I am sure the developers have already thought of such things.

Maybe Multiplayer

way to lure in shark on hook

boats

portable base

islands

more creatures/ animals

(-1)

Add more tools.Add islands.Add weathers.Add doors.Add shop and money.Most would like to have multiplayer!!! this is my ideas!!! thanks :D

(+1)

no islands, it would turn into stranded deep

Multiplayer is not being planned anytime soon. The devs have already stated this multiple times.

this kind of sounds more like a community game than a stuck alone in the middle of nowhere on a raft game

first, what would the shop and money be used for. islands would make this game Stranded Deep. But the weather and doors would be really useful!

(1 edit)

Co-op Multiplayer, play with friends would be a pretty good option. That seems to be the next big thing presumably.

Larger variety of aquatic creatures/ taming animals ie: sea otters, dolphins etc with different usages (sea otters scavenge clams, dolphins can catch fish or other sea crawlers.)

(+1)

MultiPlayer

Multiplayer is NOT planned for the foreseeable future. The devs have stated this multiples times.

Tell when a new version will come out

What? Multiplayer will never be included.

My idea:

You should add that you can like put the hook on ur raft and then go swimming and if you want to go back you can go back faster with the hook


srry for my bad english

why would anyone need to swim?

so they can gather materials at the bottom of the ocean.

(+1)

Add a bag or more space in the inventory please :D (Raft its my favorite game)

(+1)

ADD A RESPAWN BUTTON

para que? si en fin la dificultad del juego es facil

That would ruin the purpose of the game

add like difficulities then like: easy that you can respawn, normal is as it is right now and hard is that the shark does more damage and attacks ur raft more

(+1)

Thx for creating this wonderful game. It has a lot of potential to become great.

Here a few ideas:

Roofs: Attacth them to walls and window wall

More food/plants to eat: More variety would be really cool

Different types of trees: this isnt has important but it would lok cool to have different looking houses

That's all from me now. Again thx for this great game.

(-1)

I think you should make it so after a certain amount of in game days you get rescued and make it so that hunger and hydration decrease a little bit slower.

nah

I don't know if anyone had this particular idea, however(as opposed to some of the more complicated things others had mentioned):

- Simple physics, perhaps light waves.

- If there's too much weight on one side, the raft could start to tilt(and possibly tip).

(The weight thing might be too much, not sure)

(+1)

the tipping wouldn't be the best idea, but if the dev adds difficulty, it should tip in the hardest mode.

can you create boats to explore everywhere along with less lag and islands to plz

How about an update where you can scuba dive with the right gear, of course. So we can discover more things like different sea creatures or an underwater abandoned cave to explore. You can add minerals to the cave and we can mine it to build more sturdy or rare items. You can also have like a rope to tie your raft to something so that it doesn't float away when you scuba dive. Just a thought~ great game btw!!!

Scuba seems unrealistic, given how much gear is involved, but snorkeling would work. Limited range (and your raft keeps drifting) and depth but still an opportunity to explore a bit while still keeping the world fairly small. Perhaps craft flippers to extend the range, add spear fishing (attracts sharks?) or perhaps clams/oysters that can be collected.

(1 edit)

BECAUSE DO NOT CREATE NEW TOOLS OR INCREASE DIFFICULTY OR FIND ISLANDS WITH OTHER THINGS THAT CAN NOT BE SO EASY (ALMENOS SMALL ISLANDS) and you can dive and make a base in the caves

tienes que ponerlo en ingles por que no lo entenderan..

Recommendantions and ideas

More optimization more fish more food a little more difficulty because once you have a tree and you are like a god natural disasters (that the boat moves a lot, waves that push you that you have the shark hit you A flap to the boat (depends on the size of the bigger the slower the thrust) multiplayer and everything you want ;)


Please continue updating the game if I could donate I would do it but I do not have a credit card the game enchanted me since I tried it.

add more difficulty pls

my english is not awesome ..

I think that diving should be added, a shark cage made of scraps would let you stay underwater for short while to collect things from the sea floor and the shark as usual will swim up to you and start attacking your shark cage

I have made all of my suggestions on this document in Google docs: Raft Suggestions

Something that I would like to see in the game and I'm sure you might be already making this. More types of Fish, some types more rare than others, some fish require different types of bait or rods.

Add boats and islands to explore

Do you realize that the game is about building a big boat?

They mean boats you can steer and move around.

(+1)

One other idea that I would like to see is Chest Labeling. IT would be AWESOME if you added this thankyou!

I think you should make a multiplayer section where about 10 players or so join one game; then they each get 30 minutes to make the best raft, after 30 minutes they all come together to vote. just like build battle on minecraft

I have three suggestions that I would like to share, and hopefully influence the game's progress in a minor (very minor) way.

-Different Types of Hammers

What I'm thinking for different types of hammers is that making a different hammer affects the material (and by extension the weight and material needed to hold up floors and possibly walls) the structures are made of. This would in turn affect their strength and resistance to sharks, seasons as other people have said, and something I'll mention next.

-Hostile NPCs and Advanced Combat

This may sound unrealistic (and trust me, I know it is) but it would be neat to have other, hostile (and possibly themed) Rafts come your way where they will use their hook or something new added to bring their Raft closer to yours to attack you. They could also loot and grief your ship. Going along with the themed idea, maybe some could have rare loot like new materials or extra food/scrap depending on their theme and maybe, just maybe, a rare shark tamer.

-Sanity or other Stats that would matter in a Stranded At Sea Situation with No one around

Lengthy title eh? Anyways, as the title says, a Sanity or other trait meter would be added in addition to the health, hunger, and thirst meters. Although it is quite self-explanatory and a bit too close of an idea to Don't Starve, it could effect other meters as well, like faster hunger and or thirst, slow damage, impaired or hallucinogenic vision, etc. This could also be a temperature meter, which would affect other stats as I've said with the Sanity meter.


Thank you for reading these suggestions by me

-S

Hello! I would like to give you some ideas for the game. 1) Sound options, the sound is very low and when it attacks the shark does not sound good. 2) in gameplay, cycle day and night, weapons like javelins or harpoons, serious good, more vegetables, seagulls to come and take your plantations or food, slingshot to kill them or to drive them away.These are my ideas, it would be good to work In these ideas and in the future put them in the game

1. Add Different Strength base components too (metal walls foundations e.c.t).

2. Maybe different sized and shaped sharks. they should have different behavior too.

3. options!

4. Night time and weather!

yes and things that are hard to make but sharks can't destroy them easily

(+1)

Raft Developer I think multiplayer would be ideal in this game

(+2)

mabye you could find small uninabited islands but you cant live ther you have to move on

(+1)

I think we need islands but u cant stay there or your raft will drift away and multiplayer

(+1)

You should add a options menu where you can change the controls, i am on a macbook and need to plug a mouse in for some of the aspects of the game.

(+1)

If you could add mouse sensitivity,that'd be great!

P.S.:You could also add a spear improving station(I hate the shark!)

Hi! I really like this game(Raft)and it has lot of potential. I would just like to suggest some challenges about the game. I hope the developers add some weather input like there will be storm that can damage your raft because of the strong wind, rain and waves. Blizzard, the ocean will be solid ice that you won't be able to fish and collect stuffs floating and starve for days(adding day and night will be awesome by the way!) so you need to store food. the survivor should also rest/sleep. and while he's resting, pirates(optional) will stole some of his stuffs. and add some more upgrades in the materials! I hope this game will continue!!i really love it!

I propose to do day and night

(+1)

Add Co-Op...will be great

YES A FUCKING COOP IS THE BEST

(1 edit) (+1)

let me express my feelings....... I LOVE THIS GAME!!

1. It is atmospheric

2. nice graphics

3. never actually gets boring (for me)

4. limitless

5. just all around amazing

I wish I had the cash to help you out, because it would be amazing if you added multiplayer to the game, if you did I promise you 100% that everyone would like it, i mean like it's a simple game with simple concepts but has not alot of bugs and pretty interesting, like how the shark always comes by and destroys your foundation and how it takes time to kill that shark, of course if you added a backstory to the character it would be 10 time better. A friend and I love playing this game and if you are able to add at least 10 players (friends) into one game i am sure of you i would create a whole civilization, i rate this game at a 10/10 but of course there is that one bug that when you're on the net's edege it glitches a bit and thinks that you're in water. But all in all a wonderful game.

of course when you record a video it gets laggy so if you are able to fix that it would be awesome (of course i am using a mac cuz it gets laggy as hell but if you can fix that........ idk what would happen, i hope top youtubers find this game and play it)

Ps. hope this game becomes a hit :)

(+1)

You can add Diseases. :)

(+1)(-1)

Don't know if anyone has said it yet, But i think it would be cool to have some kind of a multiplayer so we can play the game with friends or a system where you can make "Rooms / Servers" to interact a bit more with people. Might not be the best idea but it would be failry cool in my point of view.

Many people have asked for it but multiplayer is NOT being planned for the foreseeable future.

(+1)

I think a very reliable that will boost the game in popularity, donations and fun would be if you could make a multiplayer option or even a LAN option where we can open our world to LAN or the global world.

(+2)

I think there should be a button added to transfer all items at once like when you have a bundle of 10 wood you can hit T to transfer it all at once to your hand or crate instead of dragging and dropping because it can get annoying to have to keep going back and forth to move stuff and time consuming also it has to be right over the square you want to drop it in to be put there and if you let go it goes back to storage. Also think there should be an option to upgrade your storage by crafting upgrades to your self storage and crate storage. Also had a problem not being able to move anything after you place it, you end up having to destroy it and waste materials to build another so there should be an option to move it also can't destroy cooking stations. I think if you destroy something it should drop half the materials you used on it instead of just disappearing.

(+1)

I think you should add bow and arrows into the game so you can shoot the shark from range.

Please, please, please introduce inverted mouse. I'm too old to change. I'll add to my donation as soon as it's in.

That feature is being added in V1.05 aka the next update of the game.

How do you check for next updates?

https://raft.itch.io/raft <---- Here.

(1 edit)

add doors and new seeds (carrot, birch ecc)

Please add more resolutions. I have 4:3 monitor and I must play in 16:9 :/

Plz add so u can build chests and just to be able to make more items

He already has that inplemented XD

(+1)

Hey I Thought up some things that i think could really change the way the game works!

Building

1.Doors

2.Candles

3.Floors should have to be attached to a pillar not floating diagonally of one.

Tools

1.Bow and arrows

2.Fishing net

3.Scuba gear (Different parts of gear found in ocean?

Gathering

1.Add cloth that needs to be dried?

2.Metal

Misc

Weather that makes you go indoors for safty

Now i know this would be alot of coding but you could nurse a bird or something so it would help you gather?

Local multiplayer

I have repeated some of my previous ideas but I did it because i think they could be real cool aspects for the game and i know its hard making a game as cool as this but From what i have seen you work real fast. I thought it would take alot longer for you to make the chest but you made it alot quicker than expected! You seem really good at what you do and whatever your working on I am sure your doing a good job at it so by all means just tell me to stop because i have wrote alot and i don't care if you ignore me so yeah!

(1 edit)

This game is awesome. my few ideas are: range, perhaps a flimsy bow with crafted arrow, all the way up to a mounted ballista because.... pesky shark. I would love some kind of breeding in farming to get better food, fishing tiers and bait would be great.

Oh and also: reinforced foundation, i imagine a foundation surrounded my metal, takes three shark attacks to "kill" mabye you need a ballon to keep it afloat.

everytime i hook something, for some reason it moves me towards the hook and into the water

(+1)

A lot of people are saying make it harder, but please make it optionally harder, it would be nice to have a calmer advancing raft building simulator, but have a second world where I'm fighting for survival against three "jaws."

Does Raft have multiplayer

so you can play with more than one person on an island

If not please add it as i would really be interested to play with one of my friend

Read the FAQ first before asking for multiplayer. Thank you.

can you pls ad multiplayer and pls go to steam.I mostly whant the multiplayer

Read the FAQ before asking for multiplayer !

(1 edit)

Dev , please add more items and night mode and multiplayer !

Multiplayer is not planned for the foreseeable future.

Multiplayer

THIS GAME NEED A FUCKING MULTIPLAYER THAN IS IT THE BEST GAME ON THE WORLD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Calm down bro

Read the FAQ first please !!

Not sure if anyone has suggested this, but what about sunstroke? It could be an environmental threat, alleviated by spending time in shade from structures or palm trees, thus adding more reason to grow them.

The difficulty with that, as well as the need for warmth in a day/night situation, would be balancing the early game when you're scrambling for resources to feed yourself, stay hydrated, and have a big enough raft to put other features on. It's pretty easy to die during that period as it is.

(-1)

A water turbine would be cool. Maybe you could link it to some sorts of Basic machines like a tree chopper.

(1 edit)

i think it would be cool if you added some what of a leveling system or an unlock tree with different paths to choose like deep sea explorasion or a tech route for deafences against markus ( the sharkus ) or some form of com system to call for help

That would be really cool to see!

It would be cool if you where able to play co-op and build some kind of "building station" so the game could last longer

Maybe a creative/sandbox mode? I like building more than surviving :P

(1 edit)

you are such a genius

Maybe an option menu so you can set the brightness, shadows on/off, Quality Low/Medium/High, Etc.

(-1)

Hi developer i have 2 ideas for the game : 1. Make the game Multiplayer to play with friends and add more furniture and resources in the game plzz read this

Before suggesting multiplayer, please read the FAQ and the responses to people who already suggested the same idea as you !! Thank you.

(1 edit) (+1)

More animals like stingray etc. And also night time and weather change

(1 edit)

I never thought of that, that is a great idea your a genius

(+1)(-1)

Maybe you can add some magical stuff? Means some potions, a magic wand or portals or stuff like that? :D


Would be really cool!

Huh?What does that have to do with surviving the ocean?

You are right. It has nothing to do with surviving. But I think its kind of boring to use the "normal" stuff to survive every time. You don't know why you are on this raft. Maybe you live in another year where you have cool techology? For example a machine that generates a portal? Why has everything to be logical? If you don't like it, maybe they can add this to a special event.

(-1)

plsss add multiplayer

(1 edit)

Please read the FAQ before asking for multiplayer !! Multiplayer is NOT being planned for the foreseeable future.

i think you get way more people if you guys add multiplayer its already a awesome game but it would be even beter.

There are only 3 developers working on this game. Only one of them is a programmer! Adding multiplayer is a very hard thing to do. Very very difficult thing to do.

is this game made by a group of friends???

yep

(-1)

Upgrades for items would be great

More food

Character customisation + multiplayer

Islands, Reefs

controlling where the raft goes and having a compass

These are what ii would put in the game btw i love the game you guys have made a great start with it already

Multiplayer is not being planned for the foreseeable future.

You have to work on the story and make torchs if you make nights or beds

(+1)

My idea

add more enemys like pirates, stronger sharks/ more sharks in late game. Also more defensive/ offensive weapons and durability for the tools. Sry for my bad english.

(3 edits) (+1)

Dive in the water to find some item;submergend boats in the watter with some items;door;fish;strange plants;islnads;octopus;underwater caves;repair the shadow to see all body;animations for example:jump in the water,dive,etc;decoration for example:bed,chair,table;flashlights/torch for the night and a story for know how the man/girl reached to survive on the ocean.

Sorry for my english if i write wrong somewhere.

Cool!...builder mode salvage game. I like it ! I suck at hooking flotsam though.lol.

I tried it on my little Acer laptop [ AMD Athelon 64,1.6GHz,3200 graphics,2.75 usable RAM, 64 bit ] and it does good on 'simple' setting . 2fps and a bit jumpy. I suck at hooking flotsam though.lol. A ? placable ? water current detector ( float with a string ) or a compass , might limit the time spent spining around and waiting to see where things are headed .

I'm guessing the 'fog' is the toss limit and no point in removing that. Is the raft stationary , or does it shift with and unseen current?

Is there a plan to add achivments ?( pop up for builder 2nd story, shark killer, farmer, architect and the like. )

*One thing i did notice is that the game does not pause on crafting screen. * major bummer when just starting out.

Adding a bit of commetary to the actions may brighten things up a bit. Crafting spear triggers " this will be a fun little surprise " Spear to 'use' ..." here fishy ,fishy fishy' catch while fishing " Lunnnch! ". Missing / shark eats raft ;" well that's a revolting development"

Planting tree : lovely bunch of coconuts or some other fun ditty.

Sugestions:

-Pirates

-Day and Night

-More enemies, harder game

- Mode Easy/Medium/Hard

-More items and buildings

-boats or swim (to islands etc) on raft


Verry nice game! Waiting for updates!

P.S. Try to add this game to steam greenlight ;)

Add the mode survival with your friends

Adding a bit of ' water replenishment ' to raw fish may give a needed bump at the start. Balanced with lower food value for raw than cooked, it may be an easily adaptable change.

Add some islands, machines, door maybe. :D

(1 edit) (-1)

PLEASE add tides.The game is way too easy at the moment.The resources should only come to you when the sea level rises or falls.Also,diseases like scurvy will be very realistic.

Its not meant to be realistic,more of like a sandbox type game. We are literally building houses from materials that float in the ocean. Not very realistic

(1 edit)

Suggestions :
- Multiplayer
- More enemies
- Day-Night cycle
- More types of fishes
- Bow and arrow
- Difficulties
Awesome game btw. I would love to see it on steam greenlight

Could people stop asking for multiplayer?They clearly can't right now.It wont happen in the near future.Just stop.

I want PS4 version. Please. Its good idea I think.

(-1)

Perhaps a day/night and weather cycle. eg. night its more dangerous and bad weather you 'get ill' from being outside in the cold and rain too long and a way to get around that without having to build a hut of sorts would be to have a small fire. And in really sunny days your need for water goes down faster. Also make it harder so it takes to to get a comfortable, big raft. and to let all the needs go down slower in normal times

And in case you haven't thought of it (for far in the future), maybe a sorts of story. like why are we there and what happened. proborly not a story with a finish though as it cuts off the whole survival thing

Hello, My Name is Selric.

Your Game Raft is very cool i played it much time. I would support you with a little donation but i can pay only with paysafecard.

It would be great if you could make this.

PS: sorry for my very bad English.

I think u could add kind of technological progression (sorry if my english is bad) like coal generators and solar generators, better furnaces, all kind of machines. Also u could add a Scuba suit to explore the deep ocean. Im so excited about your game. I hope that u make a good development :)

If the underwater idea is going to be implemented it would be cool to have items/accessories/WEAPONS that are only obtainable as secrets that you have to find underwater in certain areas. Kind of like easter eggs that have to be found but the weapons can have different rarity levels and looks. Something i wanted to throw in :)

Also,please stop begging for 'illness when outside'...we are in the middle of the ocean the only thing we have is outside.Players shouldnt get penalized for being outside when the whole game revolves around finding items and craft materials OUTSIDE (to build houses and forts that is)...

(+2)

How about a floor with a hole in it so you can build a ladder or get water for your water pourifier inside your home. I wanted to make a hole in the corner of the house so i can easy get water, but when i do there becomes a big gap with no walls or floor. It could be better if you could make just a floor with a hole in it, so you still can put walls on it and get water or even fish.

thats a really good idea and it would be very convienient

Estuviera bueno que hicieran el mapa mucho más grande, con grande me refiero a muchos kilómetros!!! Donde hayan muchos barcos ( hundidos ), de donde saques recursos raros, se me ocurre una idea que creo que les va a gustar: que haya un barco grande, muy grande, donde halla una puerta secreta que tengas que abrir para descubrir el secreto del barco, a lo que me refiero es que agreguen una historia, no solo que sea un simple juego de Survival, sino que tenga un historia.

Otra cosa que estaría bueno es que hallan islas pequeñas e islas grandes, con animales, recursos, minas con minerales, que hayan diferentes tipos de islas, por ejemplo: en una isla volcánica extraigas piedra volcánica para construir un muro de piedra para tu casa, y que en una isla de bosque o selva consigas carne de diferentes animales o madera, etc...

PD: pónganle físicas realistas al juego, ya que no es para nada real que puedas hacer una balsa enorme y que flote, una balsa edificio!!! Esta bueno que un juego tenga un toque ir-realista pero no cosas exageradas como una balsa que llega al espacio :D

PD2: el SkyBox es muy chico y sí subes a mucha altura se ve el Alpha de la Textura del cielo, sería mejor que el cielo no fuera una imagén sino que sea una simulación, que la simulación dependa de las opciones gráficas que elegiste, por ejemplo: si tenes una pc lenta elijas una resolución gráfica más baja, en consecuencia las nubes van a desaparecer o van a ser planas ( no volumétricas ), en el caso de que nuestra pc sea de la Nasa :D las nubes volumétricas ( 3D ) y todas las simulaciones como los rayos solares, niebla, ciclo lunar, estrellas, etc... van a estar activados. Es bueno que usen Unity porque no tiene tantos problemas de mala optimización como UnrealEngine 4 u otros Motores de Vídeo-juegos. Supongo que estén usando Blender para hacer los modelos 3D.

Contéstenme por favor! :)

I would like to get more survival in this game. So can u do that the ITEM NETS destroys themselves after 2 days? And that is another update pls add night and some kind of a bed thX :)

How about a thatch roof. We already got tree floors and walls.

(1 edit)

Sharks Won't Attack Foundations With Walls On Them? They're Pretty Useless ATM Other Than Decoration And Stopping Coconuts From Falling Into The Water :/

More Decoration Items And An Item To Stop Sharks xP Addictive Game Though I Love It!

I think they give flooring more durability? Don't quote me on that :

nah it doesnt need more durability but to be able to see how much health the floor has until you need to repair it would be nice

You can,just hover over the foundation with the hammer while the repair option is selected.On the bottom of the screen you will see xxx/100,xxx being the health of the structure.

yeh but not the nets

I think Later on In the Game There Should Be Away were you can stop the shark, maybe not for good but away to stop it for a certain amount of time so you can focus on building up your raft and resources, i also think there should be a unlock system were you can unlock things for your raft as you go along playing the game

(+1)

Night and Day. Have a day counter. Every ten days your raft should be attacked by multiple sharks the amount of sharks should get larger every ten days. You should get cold at night so you need clothes/fire. In the day it should get too hot so you need to find shade or make a fan from palm leaves/ light clothing made from thatch.

You should add doors to the game would help in the design of constructions. Adding also new weapons (bow, sword ...) birds in the game would be very cool. Thank you very much for your attention.

YESS, DOORS

THE FUTURE

- Add barbed wire, which would take less dmg sharks. (made of metal)

- Add small islands and boat (single tree on the island and one barrel) (add too wrecks)

- Add more vegetables

- Add day, night, rain, fog

- Add metal armors

- Add background music

- Add more settings in the game

Add a way to pick up and move things instead of just breaking them

yeah I like this one

Add durability to items so you have to make new.

Also, make more thatch come in. Im always running out of rope at the start which usually kills me

Nets.

I LOVE YOUR IDEAS!!!!!

(+3)

I've had time to read through some of the posts but not all, so sorry in advance if any of these have been mentioned or already planned.

  • Great start! This is an amazing idea and fun so far. Survival at sea is fascinating and challenging and there is tons of un-tapped potential in this scenario. Please make it your own and not an armor wearing/shark fighting MMO style game (unless that's what you had in mind lol.)
  • Immersion: Personally I would like to see more realism, immersion and challenge by including the following (for starters):
    1. Materials: Most metal doesn't float. Instead of floating scraps of metal, plastics are much more common to find at sea and water can be distilled in plastic containers (even boiled). Metal would be extremely rare and attached to wood or plastic. Fish bones can be used for making tools or building materials such as nails.
    2. Scarcity: I loved the traps but after an hour you have so many resources you never have to worry. Rather than tons of metal and wood planks it would be more challenging and realistic if you got a couple plastic bottles, a dead fish, some seaweed and eventually a coconut. Coconuts can be planted and the trees could become your main source of wood and fiber for base building. Barrels (crates would be more realistic) would be extremely rare.
    3. Water: You can survive several days without water. Instead of frantically boiling can after can and drinking 50 cans a day, make it about actually getting any drinkable water, and perfecting realistic water collection and storage. Also building pots/cooking stations from miraculous floating metal and starting fires from waterlogged wood as a bit off-putting. A more realistic scenario would be finding 2 plastic bottles and a trash bag and making a solar desalinator (evaporation from bottle #1 collects on trash bag, drips clean water into bottle #2.) Not only would this be more realistic, it would be more challenging and stressful since it takes all day to get a glass of water.
    4. Food: You can live for weeks without food. Food collection is too fast, catching food at sea without the right equipment is difficult and time consuming. I'd love to feel challenged just to provide a meal a day. If lost at sea, realistically you would almost starve to death before catching your first fish. After you have one you can use the guts for bait so it becomes much easier. Most fish (and many birds) can be eaten raw, which can hold you over till you can dry out some driftwood to make a fire. Managing spoilage by making fish jerky adds another dimension.
    5. Atmosphere: As anyone who has played Minecraft, Doom or 7 Days to Die knows, atmosphere can make even an average game great. I'm sure you have plans for this but even just adding quality sounds of waves, wind and creaking boards would give it that stranded and alone feel. A day/night cycle is also necessary as others have mentioned. Seasons would be interesting for heat/cold management as well as for weather. Severe weather could damage base walls or capsize poorly built boats.
  • Diving: I never dared jump into the water because, why, but there is a lot of potential in building masks and snorkels out of plastic bottles. Breathing surface air from rubber tubes (would be very rare to find) could maybe get you to the ocean floor where you could gather food, shells, sand etc. Also fending off sharks with your spear while diving makes for some great game play.
  • Boats: Depending on the direction you want to take with the game, if you want to make it more than a base building game then boats/exploration would be a lot of fun. I'm not a fan of island hopping (ala Don't Starve: Shipwrecked or Salt,) so I wouldn't want to see islands personally, because then surviving at sea just went out the door. However, boats would make resource collection much more proactive and there could be areas that contain resources not available near your raft etc.
  • End Game: Building a base at sea is a lot of fun but is pretty one dimensional. Personally I would never want to get rescued or sail home, and those types of games always end up being too short. Maybe make a backstory similar to Waterworld (the Kevin Costner movie) and people could eventually build large boats and make long and dangerous excursions to look for rarer supplies, or possibly just live on their boat and become explorers or traders.
This game has so much potential and could be amazing as a survival at sea sim, an ocean exploration adventure (Subnautica elements?) a sandbox crafting game or, preferably, all of the above!

I like this!

Good suggestions, wish I'd refreshed before posting

Agreed - Some increasing difficulty would be great, because at a certain point in the game, there is no worries at all pretty much.

(+2)

Quick thanks:

Loving this game so far, well done to the team for trying to keep up with our demands - it's just cause the game is so addictive despite how early on it is!


A few suggestions: (I tried to keep them simpler to be more realistic)

1. Durability on items, and repair.

2. Chance for crabs in nets that you have to kill as they'll attack you.

3. Spear upgrade (could make a workbench for upgrades, and then pebbles to barrels to make sharpening stone) and weapon variants (like a retrievable javelin using rope that could be used at range to deter sharks for a bit).

4. Seagull/ seabirds that steal your potatoes/ food.

5. Better night/ day cycle and torches/ fire and cold damage? Means that it would make it challenging to fend off sharks at night.

6. Other survivors adrift, so when/ if you save them you have to have enough food and water to keep them alive too!

7. Beds to rest in (getting tired causes fatigue) and then when you're resting other survivors would fend off base)

8. TRAPS/ bait - to ward off sharks

9. Lobster cages.

10. Rain? Only problem then is teh lagg 😭

11. Reel in fishing line not knowing what's on it and then a fairly high possibility for a swordfish or something (just more damage sources basically

12. More woodwork, more craftables

13. Shipwrecks (to find linen, different timber that is more durable and just other shiz)

14. A floating football to draw a smiley face on 😂

15. Lightning and then water bucket?

16. A happiness factor?

17. First aid (bandages from lines, using saltwater as an antiseptic - which makes it useful again after coconuts, yay!)


These last 4 are a little more ridiculous, though some of the previous were too...

1. Islands! As you are drifting you spot them, or you could just build a boat and keep going until you find them! But make them uninhabitable at night or something (monkeys/ crabs/ whatever) and then be able to anchor raft so as not to find it gone when you leave the island :L

Islands could have hostile natives and stuff too? You could make seeds only available on islands?

2. Pirates! I won't say anymore because it might make you cry.

3. I know it's been said before, but the option to co-op with a friends or two - hosting with hamachi or something?

4. Mini games and scoreboards? That's a meh one, but the catching of shiz as it goes by was almost a game in itself 😂

Oo! Could also add plans/ books I bottles for upgrades and then an experience bar/ levels that would make more intriquate crafts available

And nets to need repairing as you use them

All of these suggestions would be lovely to have in the game. Number 6 is a little unrealistic at the stage the game is in now I think, but in the near(ish) future it would be fun to see.

Yeah, I should've put that further down the list x

Please add rain. use a rain catching system to gather water when it rains. That would be awsome.

(+1)

i think you can add a death animation and languages

note: im no so good in english, sorry for the gramatical mistakes

when you die, is game over, thats it, but... why you dont add a dead animation?, if you die for the shark, you will see how are going to the bottom of the ocean and see the blood mixing whit the water when your vision goes to black, if you die in the raft, you fall on it and the screen goes to black, but if you die close to a side of the raft, you fell out of the raft and start to float in the ocean and see the sky before the screen goes to black, also add some kind of languages, like spanish and french for people that are not good in english (like me)

thanks for the game, add make it more leght, for laptops like the mine

(+1)

The update/idea I'm thinking off is called the Defense Update:

Adds 6 new items:

  • Reinforced Ingots. In order to craft a Reinforced Ingot, you need to have 2 scraps, you need to craft it in the forgery.
  • Forgery. The forgery is like a crafting table, meant to smelt scraps into Reinforced Ingots. In order to craft this, you would need 7 scraps, 5 wood, and 3 string.
  • Mounted Harpoon Gun. (Does 6 damage to bandits, and 12 Damage to rafts.) This type of machine is meant to launch harpoons at sharks, or bandit rafts (Learn about bandits later on). It would take 3 Reinforced Ingots, 5 scraps, 10 wood, and 5 string to craft. NOTICE: You do have to pull the harpoon in, just like the hook.
  • Bow. This type of weapon is made for shark hunting, bandit catching, and damaging bandit ships. You can craft a bow using 2 Reinforced Ingots, 3 string, and 4 wood.
  • Arrow. (Does 4 damage to bandits, and 8 damage to rafts.) This is your ammunition for the Bow. It would take 1 Reinforced Ingot, and 2 wood to craft 3x Arrows.
  • Reinforced Platforms, Walls, Foundations, Floors, Stairs, and any building units. In order to reinforce any of those, you would need a hammer, 1 reinforced ingot (Per unit you want to reinforce). You would need to select the reinforce tool from the crafting wheel with your hammer. Reinforced building units have increased their HP by 100.

Adds 3 new settings.

  • Easy. Easy mode consists of 1 shark at a time, and 1 bandit raft at a time (Bandit rafts start spawning 10-15 minutes after game has started. Bandit raft spawn ratio: 1 for every 5-12 minutes.)
  • Normal. Normal mode consists of 2 or less sharks at a time, and 1-2 bandit rafts at a time ( Bandit rafts start spawning 9-14 minutes after the game has started. Bandit raft spawn ratio: 1-2 rafts (random) for every 4-9 minutes.)
  • Hardcore. !!WARNING!! HARDCORE, it consists of 1-5 sharks at a time, and 1-3 bandit rafts at a time (Bandit rafts starts spawning 5-9 minutes into gameplay. Bandit raft spawn ratio: 1-3 rafts (random) for every 5-10 minutes (also random).

Adds 2 new BIG features.

  • Bandits. Computer controlled characters that spawn in on a Bandit Raft. They're purpose is to raid and/or kill the player. They can take down walls, and destroy any building units. They can raid chests that the player has placed. They can take 3-5 slots of items from each chest. If killed while they have raided your chests, they drop the resources and player can return them. The bandit has 20 hit points (health). The bandit does 13-15 damage each time they want to target and destroy a building UNIT. The bandit's weapons themselves, do 2-7 damage to a PLAYER.
  • Bandit Rafts. Bandits spawn on a 2x3 platform raft. The raft has 1 sail, and 1 chest. The raft has 1-3 bandits per raft. These rafts are sinkable, the only way you can sink them, is by shooting their raft with the Mounted Harpoon Gun. A bandit raft has 75 HP. When a bandit raft is sunken, the raft falls apart, and 4-7 wood planks, 3-5 string, and 4-6 scraps are left floating in the water, which the player can then pick up.

Thank you so much for reading this, I hope it get's added into Raft. Raft Developer, if you would please read this, it would be amazing, same goes with other accounts. Thank you again, and make sure to comment down below for other ideas/fixes to this thread.

Thank you! I worked really hard on getting my ideas on a piece of digital paper.. I really want the Raft Developer to check this out!

(1 edit)

I love this game, but when I first got started, and had to use a hook rather than just nets, the 2d-ness of the scraps and thatch made the items hard to see in the distance(thatch in specific). I like the look of those items, but maybe make them have some height, be more colorful, or have some sort of outlined edges, so they could be more visible in the horizon. Thanks, and keep up the good work!

If multiplayer isn't possible, then maybe LAN?

This may be equally hard, but if possible it would be great, because we and my brother love this game and would love to build a word together.

Hey im up to the point in the game where i have 3 chests filled with metal 4 chests filled with wood enough food to last forever water is easy to get and i have enough thatch to last me decades i think it would be nice to be able to make

Ladders

the ability to reinforce stuff with scrap and metal (ill tell you an idea for metal later)

Maybe a smelter to smelt scrap into metal and metal into other stuff then you can extend it to whatever you want

Harpoon to hit the shark once then it will go away it will take make the one harpoon shot go away then you will need to make more amunition you can make it as hard as you want to make the harpoon amunition

night time

storms that can damage your structures

damage indicators

damage to your tools

i know not all of these will be added but i love the game i love the idea and i would love to see this on steam and you guys earning money thankyou for all the time and effort youve put into this!

A crafting bench for more advanced items to build idk what advanced items tho Reply and add some advanced items to add into this crafting bench

cricketbats

Could you guys add guns and NPCs and a fishing boat to harpoon the shark

you guys should add away to be able to store items because without storage you can run out of space and there isnt many things to do with materials such as scrap.

There is storage included in update 1.04.

you could add it so u can travel on your raft to explore more it would make you want to keep playing to find out where your gonna end up or if your going to find something

is this game coming to xbox preveiw program i would like to see it on xbox

(+2)

Make the game harder, and co op please. add day night and sunburn. otherwise it's a rather fun game, just rather easy once you get enough catchers down.

(+1)
MULTIPLAYER PLS!!!

If I had a nickle every time someone in this thread asked for multiplayer...

Enable Onlan. So i can play with my friend

Add the night and sleep system, and can, as it has energy when sleeping to get energy for the next day and if you are adding more night are heard, they would have torches. GAME IS NICE

Please include "Difficulty Settings".

Easy : Thrist/Hunger Drop Slowest + Lesser Sharks

Normal: Normal Settings

Hard: Opposite of Easy :D

Do CO-OP please i want to play with friends and add day/night and beds

Add artifacts. For example, a broken radio and part of it, or a broken phone, or a bottle with a message. So the game will be more atmosphere. Say: find all the pieces of a broken radio. Trying to find the radio signal. There were disturbances. You hear a voice. But suddenly the battery dying. And that's it. So as with telephone and letter in a bottle. It will be very atmospheric.

Also add alternation of day and night.

Raft should have Reinforced Foundations Which Have More Durability And Require Rope And Scrap and More Fruit.

Dear developers. The game gets really interesting. At this stage of the game is not quite a lot of different things. Later in the game I would like to see some things, such as a boat. Just add the island on which it would be possible to swim in the boat. Add the secret places where players have been waiting for a very rare thing. For example what that weapon or tools for upgrading your home on the water. I am a Russian player. The game really liked me. Very nice graphics and nice gameplay. Thank you very much in advance. I'm sure you'll have to create one this game more popular. Just my advice to you. Add the game in Steam. It will be much more downloads, and many players will play the game. thank you very much

HI,

I am on a mac and whenever you save the game (with things in your chests) they all disappear the next time you go on to the game.

PLS HELP!!!!!!!!

More Types of Food

  • I would appreciate if you add more types of fish to catch and vegetables to get from barrels.
  • IT would be amazing if you could make stews, soups, salads, etc.

A coop mode to play with friends

Adding an end game or another objective other than just surviving and avoiding the shark, like an eventual rescue perhaps.
Adding more solid walls, floors, roofing. "customisation" type stuff.
Add fish to spear possibly, as well as adding some other fish to come off the rod.
Adding more materials, to diversify the crafting as well as give the possibility of other items like rubber and plastic leading to things like a rubber boat: for the following suggestion.
Adding islands to swim to/paddle to, perhaps finding other materials to build things out of.
New breeds of shark/quantity of sharks.
More ruthless shark nature, notices you are not stabbing it to keep it away and attacks more frequently and vice versa.
Birds, add some birds, surely there are some seagulls or something wanting to steal your coconuts?
Temperature bar, all that cold water and no warm place to stay must be making you sick, right?
Clothing, even just a seaweed shirt and pants to protect from the sun, or a shark bite.
Night time/day time cycle.
Furniture, more specifically a bed for the night time cycle.
Pets, i want a pet seagull or a pet crab or a dolphin friend to help keep the shark away.... or even a shark to keep the sharks away?
Random items that could have washed out to sea, a floaty, a tennis ball, plastic bottles.

All just suggestions, but theres a large potential for this game and it takes one or two good ideas to make a good game better.

(+1)

-Day/Night cycle

-metal reinforced foundations

-Four Seasons. Summer for wood, Fall for Leaves. Spring brings barrels and rough waters. Winter will bring a lot of ice and jumping in the water may cause hypothermia.

(+1)

Add an option to Auto Save? Slow down the Depletion of Food and Water, just a little? I almost can't focus on getting Planks, Scrap and Thatch.

(+1)

could you make more types of fish in the next update because the fishing rods description is that you can catch different types of fish but the only fish im catching is meckerel

i want to see my shadow WOW IM A VAMPIRE AAAAAAAH

These are my list of Features to make a good game Better!

* Update The player Model! Even if Basic, It's better than two floating arms.

* Make Breaking Stages for the foundations! It would look heaps Better and you would be able to tell roughly how broken they are.

* Multiplayer! this is a must, It would be Heaps better if i could play with my friend. We could Survive, Together!

* Jackpot! Every now and then something should happen. Something that makes survivors jump in joy.

That's my list! "Upvote" so These Features can be added Later on!

make wind so waves could come and wreking your stuff so the walls have a purpose and the wind can also blow you stuff around a tiny bit but its an rare thing to happen.

make so your tools can break if you use them too much!!!! i would love that so when you make like an axe breaking some builds or cuting wood would bring the durability down and eventually it will break so you have to craft a new one and please add a craffting table so you can craft more things i mean all you can craft witout it is tincan rope crafting table and add artifacts like a broken bottle or yeah just junk. I WOULD LOVE SEEING ANY OF THESE OR MY OTHER THINGS FROM OTHER COMMENTS! so dear developer make one of these things a thing. that sounded weird...

ass

i want a wilson made by thatch and wood! i want it so you can place it and remove it I ALSO WANT TO BE ABLE TO MOVE/BREAK THAT WATER PUREIFIREAFCA what ever and the cooking staiton

Create a language shift. I can help with the translation.

Add like a creative/free build were you can build any kind of ship you like because that is my favorite part :)

Please add difficulty setting (Changes Hunger and Thirst Rates)

Add a duck hunting with bow and arrows

The game is almost perfect, but needs some improvements and implementations. For example: After some time, reduce the amount of items that arrive in the sea current, to make the game a bit more difficult; Make an implementation so that items like cups and food are put to roast or boil directly from the inventory, without the need to put them in hand. Increase the resistance of the character a little because the character gets hungry and thirsty very fast.

(1 edit) (+2)

*this is a realy cool idea: you should add supply drops/airdrops to fall in the water so people would use even more the hook

*it would be realy cool to go underwater

*add rubber and air tanks so you can build the suit

*multiplayer so we can play with others
