Currently, i only have a few ideas for this game to become a bit better. First off, I'd like to see a diving system implemented. That'd make this game a little better. Secondly, different land masses. Islands, mountains, ect. Thirdly, traps/defenses for the shark. Lastly, more food. Just having shark meet potatoes and coconuts to eat is just kinda boring.

You can also fish with a Fishing Rod to get Raw Mackerel

Yeah, I forgot about that. I was trying to remember that but couldnt place my finger on it.

(+3)

Upgrading the cooking station and water cooking station would be awesome.

(+1)

Adding like a boss random event like a random pirate ship that has a rare chance of spawning to attempt and raid your raft to steal from your chests or even steal your life? Its big but it could be a huge addition in future updates? Also amazing game really enjoying it!

How about Steel, which can be made from 2 scrap in a Furnace (2 Scrap, 1 Wood). With the steel you can make Steel Tools, which are stronger than the normal scrap kind. Why not a Thatch Bed, made from 2 Wood, 6 Thatch? When you pick up a barrel, you could place it and store things in it like a chest, but not as many. Maybe some First Aid Kits could be out there in the blue sea, but it would be a rare sight. Could there be Cloth, A special fabric (found in crates)? Maybe it could make Sails. What else could be out there? Crates filled with rare items, like Food, Materials and First Aid? Everyone needs a good Rainstorm, you could make a Water Collector (2 Cloth, 1 Empty Tin Can, 2 Wood) and collect some purified water too! Fishing gets old, a Fishing Net (2 Steel, 4 Rope) can do the work for you! It gets cold at night, why not make a Coat (3 Cloth)? Potatoes can get boring to eat, mix it up with Carrots, Tomatoes, Corn, Grapes, and Bananas! Also, Make a Hat (1 Cloth, 1 Thatch) to protect yourself from Sunburn (Doesn't affect in shade). That's all I have for now.

(+1)

Those are some amazing ideas, I love how all the things are highlighted in bold.:D

Thanks :D

I hope the Devs look at my ideas and consider adding them.

(+1)

YOUR IDEAS ARE FANTASTIC i added about 6 but there not as ilaberate as these!!!! nice work man!! i hope they implement some of these great ideas! :D

(+1)(-1)

Man! Your ideas are so great! i really wish your ideas to be added in the game :)

I can already imagine the cool cloth and steel that we can use to make more items :D

I know right? It would be so cool if you could make steel tools, and find a super rare crate every once in a while!

(+1)

WOW! i love your ideas

(+1)

I think you should add cloth and add temperatures to be a thing and day/night cycles. With the cloth you could make a bed or clothes also add doors for building.

Hey cloth was my idea D:

(+2)

Sorry to say this, but no one owns ideas.

(+1)(-7)

добавить пиратов

Я не думаю, что пираты были бы хорошим дополнением к игре. Возможно, подводное плавание, все больше и больше материалов крафта рецептов было бы более полезным.

Hi, i got some suggestions! like if you agree!

Island idea:

+ add islands!

+ palm trees on the island, so you can cut them down with your axe.

+ we got the building system for a raft, sure wanna keep that going, but if you add islands, you can have 2 building systems, so you can make a house on an island! i think that would be cool!

+ sails, so you can acually GO to the islands, without using smaller boats! The main raft will be slower than the small boats.

Island building system:

Roofs, but not only flat roofs, but maybe also square roofs, made of thatch or wood!

Thatch roof materials: rope, thatch

Wood roof materials: wood, nails

And also add wooden walls!

With the same materials as the wooden roof.

Materials:

+ Sticks, for a campfire!

+ Stone, for maybe stone walls and roofs, for the island, and maybe for flint and steel, so you can start the campfire!

+ add a hoe, so you can plant vegetables on an island!

+ When you are on the island, you can start a farm with your hoe. Add carrots and weed! With weed you can make bread!

Game ideas:

+ Add more drinks, like rum or regular milk (can be found inside barrels)

+ Add a way to destract (is that how i spell it? :\) the shark for one day and one night, so you can build safely.

+ Add NPC characters: Humans on other rafts, so you can trade or fight them. And populations om SOME of the islands (in NPC villages). And maybe some animals, so you can hunt, tame or eat them!

+ Add more furniture, like torches (for the walls on the ISLAND, not on a raft.) beds, and a closet (with the same use of chests, but you will need more materials to build it, and it will have more space to put items in!)

+ multiplayer mode!

+ smaller boats! very usefull in multiplayer mode, becaus you can build the main raft, and explore the ocean with smaller boats! the main raft will be like a mothership! sounds cool to me.... :\

OOH OOH, this is maybe the best of all...

+ Add wooden plates, so you can put food on it!!! :O (like fish, potatoes, and beetroots) and that you can also sit on the chairs, because they are kinda useless now, exept for decoration...

Hope you guys like my ideas!

I wrote this with my friend and more ideas will come later, pls add tips in the comments below! :D

(+4)(-1)

I like this idea would make the game 100 times better. so cool, Im donating a dollard already

(+3)

just wondering, what would the npc characters be like? who would they be?


btw theres already an npc... the shark

(+1)

i will put it in my main topic. gunna edit it right now :)

Thanks 4 ur tip!

(+2)

that would make the game so much better

(+3)(-2)

just look at the title of the game, they wont add islands.

(+2)(-1)

why not? only because its called 'Raft'? It still has a lot stuff with a raft.

(+2)(-1)

There shouldn't be islands in Raft. It defeats the purpose of a raft in total. If you found an island with a healthy amount of food, you have a water purifier, and enough trees for a house, your basically set for the rest of the game. Zombieslayer008 is right, it's called Raft for a reason. If islands were added, this would turn into a regular survival styled game. This game is different, and I think we need to keep it this way.

(+1)

umm they said they would be adding islands...

(+1)(-1)

Rly? I cant find this message anywhere where did they post that?

(+1)

In one of the surveys they had a question about wat ppl would want to see added to the game. They said they would eventually be adding all of the options in the question, which were:

- Moving your raft

-Islands

-Diving

-Other NPC Rafts

(+5)

I really like your idea so what i was thinking about is maybe make something dangerous on the island could be canibals or wild animals that wants to hunt you down. so i wont be that easy to get to the island. it could also be cool if there was some secret rum storages from pirates or something

(+4)

Would also be nice if they added, sea exploration (or at least more verticality the game, right now you can only go up). Not sure about the Islands stuff because I believe would make it too similar to Stranded Deep. And the village ideas would be cool but if NPC's can live on the island what reason gives the player to stay on the raft instead of going to the island? Maybe dangerous predators etc could be added to make the player consider the risks of going to land for resources (would also need to make the resources coming from the ocean, less reliable, to also make the player need to go into the islands, otherwise they would stick to the raft and that would be boring). All great options and all, but if executed poorly, it can skew the scope of the game and make it seem lost and with no purpose

(+1)

Raiju, great ideas you got there! And lets turn all villagers into cannibals, and the other NPC's live on rafts! And maybe they can add some new weapons. And maybe the developers can think about dock building. so you can build docks and explore other islands. And yes, the resource floating by are way too much. So if they add islands, they can also make random chests on the beach of the islands. And i think the idea of predators and stuff awesome! if they will add all of this, this game will be so awesome! predators: crocodiles, of course sharks, and lions (rare).

(+1)

I agree with sea exploration. There needs to be a way to attach either sails or have manual rows on your raft to explore different areas across the sea. When you explore new areas you can find other computer generated ships and rafts with NPC's on it where you can trade, fight, steal and whatnot, creating friendly or hostile relationships with other people. When you go to other areas, you would encounter different things flowing in the water, and in different directions. At endgame, if you have the resources and you have made generators from harnessing fire or using wave power, you could attach simple motors to your raft to get to areas faster. Since you and NPC's will be on the same ocean, there should be different weapons instead of a spear. To plunder other ships and sink them, you would need simple firearms, using rare gunpowder, scrap metal and other materials to make them. Or you could mount cannons which take up lots of space, are hard to maneuver and are expensive to fire and to craft, but that deal significant damage to other ships and NPC's.

(+2)

not trying to be rude but it sounds a lot like stranded deep like that

(+2)

Here are my ideas and glitches:

Raft glitches:

  • when making something with a full stack of something and a stack that is less than what you have to use to make that something, it will first get rid of the small stack because that's not enough and then subtract the cost from the full stack, making you pay that small stack extra.So for example: you want to make something of 4 wood, and you have a stack of 2 and a stack of 10 wood, it will get rid of the 2 stack and then subtract 4 from the 10 stack.
  • The shark swum on my raft when i made it really big, then when i killed it, the items went under the raft so i couldn't get the meat.
  • The items spawn not on the full width of my raft, here is a picture:

This could just be meant to be but I thought I would mention it anyway



Raft tips:

  • I'm going to mention this one even though I'm 99% sure this is planned already: add more items, now I've played something like 3 or 4 hours and I'm just building a big platform because there's nothing else to do. Mostly add items of metal because I had 2 chests full of crap before my house was done. Now there's almost no use for scrap.
  • Add more graphics options. This is mostly for the bad computers (like mine) because it actually looks awesome but I'm playing raft at about 10 fps with the second to lowest water quality and all other graphics off. Also: the game is always like a third of a second later than what I do, even though that's probably the fault of my computer, I wanted to mention this too.

ok just saying most of these ideas are just from the developers ideas... they are already planning to add most of these..

(-1)

They are not adding multiplayer....

(+1)

good idea mincpower

a island and having stone

but also if i may can i add something

maybe some new weapons as well and new build options (like the chair and the lamp and the table)

(+2)

XD

1 thing be able to place things next to pillars cause sometimes you cant

2 when you break foundation you cant place it again PLEASE FIX

3 doors and furniture

4 more resources in the ocean and a way to go in water woud be sick

Best regards Victor

(-1)

The first and second items are bugs. They'll find it easier in the bug report page. Third idea is a good one. But only if they implement multiplier. And I've always loved the idea of going under water and searching for items and resources there.

(+2)

Spawnpoint - so when u die you dont lose everything (including your batteries)

weight limit - so you cant build a skyscraper

Watergod - (basically creative)


sorry if this is short i have 2%

I agree with weight limit but watergod wouldn't be fun and would be too much like minecraft and spawn points are bad and i think you should lose everything when you die

(+2)

Hello, I'm enjoying raft very, very much and I think these ideas will hopefully make it even more enjoyable.

First of all, if you add a thing to catch fish automatically like adding a fishing net or have fish actively swimming in shallow water so you could attack them with your spear. Also make fishing harder, right now I think it is too easy to catch fish.

Okay, about when and if you add multiplayer make sure you that you make different types of multiplayer. For example, when you go to make multi-player make different modes so there could be a mode where you can socialize, make friends and help each other out without making other players able to attack you.

The other mode could be called Competitive. Where you can travel across the ocean to find other players rafts and raid them. Please do not make it able to team in competitive if you decide to add a teaming mode please make it separate.

Make the game harder. For example, make floats or something where you have to put them under you raft to hold up your raft and if you make a 10 floor raft like me for example please make it so you have to build a floating foundation underneath. If you decide to use that idea have a little menu when you open the crafting menu that tells you if you need more foundation or not.

Make a backstory. My mind honestly needs to know how your player got where he/she is

I think you should add a creative mode this could be single player and multi-player. In the single player mode, you should make it so you don't starve you don't take damage no sharks unlimited resources and remove thirst. For the multi-player you should do the same thing, but you can have your friends help you build the best raft.

Try to make it on steam! You could invite friends from your steam account to help you. Plus the steam workshop is a great way to download and play with rafts you find on the workshop.

I think your game is great and has a great future ahead of it. Keep it up!

I support your idea!

they should add like a cutscene before playing the game, which tell us the backstory

In creative mode, furniture would look nice like beds,tables and seating etc.. its probably unnecessary for some people, but its just what im thinking :)

The multiplayer should just be one mode where you can decide to trade/team/raid other players and the creative mode wouldn't be fun I think there should be a building mode where you take no damage and don't starve or dehydrate but you have to get your own resources outside of building mode. Building mode should be turned on and off in main menu and in game toggled with the buttons 'ctrl b' in game. You shouldn't be able to do much in building mode apart from opening chests, building and breaking. In building mode you don't get resources back from stuff you built if you break it.

for the multiplayer you mean pve servers and pvp servers(player vs entity (eg the shark) and player vs player (eg attack each other))

(+4)

I feel that a good addition to the game could be a "creative mode" in which you have unlimited resources to build infinitely. I think that this could be a good addition now especially since they do not have a way for the different versions to be compatible with each other. In this mode you can build with no limits, and the shark will not attack. However, you can turn this off, that way you can play normally once you are done building. Please let me know what you guys think! I really love this game and it's a lot of fun to play, it just sucks that your gamesave does not carry over between updates, so this might be a happy medium for those who still want to play, but do not want to start over. If the devs see this, awesome work and I'm looking forward to seeing more from this game in the future! Cheers!

the creative mode wouldn't be fun I think there should be a building mode where you take no damage and don't starve or dehydrate but you have to get your own resources outside of building mode.

You shouldn't be able to do much in building mode apart from opening chests, building and breaking. In building mode you don't get resources back from stuff you built if you break it.

I suggested creative mode due to the fact that they game saves aren't backwards compatible. I myself put over 5 hours of work into my save in v1.03 and sadly cannot play in that same world in the newer versions. Creative mode would be a quick way for users to quickly regain any lost progress.

It'l be fun if there is day, rain(lightly or heavily) and night..

adding more stuff to build would be nice too. like torches for night time or wooden beds something like that

this game is really fun! Keep it up!

(+3)

It Would be great to play with friends and it would be nice if you can craft armor or something like that and more trees(especially more fruits

Maybe You Can Add Some New Resources Like Sands To Make Glasses Stones and stuff

{Deffinitely Not On Lands The Stuff Just Came To Us}

Good Idea

(-1)

can you add multiplayer coop ?

(-1)

very clever idea really should be added

(1 edit) (+1)

Следва да се добави маси столове просто мебели

I Have An Idea

You Should Add An Optioon For Creating Tech Like Computer Chips So You Can Create Like An Advenced Tools

Add Night Time

Add Flash Light

Add More Fishes And The Hunger That Every Kind Of Fish Give Diffrent Hunger

Do That You Can Damage The Shark With The Axe As Well

great idea but with the stuff that we get from the ocean making electronics would be impossible and on top of that if there were floating computer chips and stuff like that the water would have already fried the battery before it came to us :/ nice idea tho!!!!

Maybe It Should Be On The Barrels Or Maybe In Something Else

It should just require tons of materials that can be in water and then you could have to put it somewhere and maybe get it struck by lightning to power it or find oil and burn it to power something that could be good

Thanks For The Good Idea

Thanks For The Good Idea

I have an IDEA!, can you put EDIT MODE so we can edit our raft a lot easier and maybe some INTENSE BACKGROUND MUSIC whenever the shark is attacking the raft, and could you improved the A.I. of the shark that if we put WALLS that the shark wont break the raft unless if there is an open area for it to break the raft, and maybe if we could put Mode's like, survival mode, custom mode, and creative mode if possible.

Yea Good Idea

Hi, :). Love this game.

Adding a map system could be cool. Like u can fit an engine to ur raft and then u can go to different biomes and stuff through a map.

Also weather effects could be cool. i.e. snow, lightning, rain, waves.

And adding some sort of decorations could be cool, like maybe a bookshelf or tables and chairs :)

Hope this game goes far and becomes very popular <3

Engines would be difficult i think you could make sails and masts to move and maybe have a steam powered Turbine engine

I think an engine idea would be cool, but there would be oil that would float by, and you would have to use the tin can to get, then that's how you charge up the motor

(+1)

I have an idea!!


can you please make it so you can choose diffaculty also i had an idea about the walls! i expanded my raft and started putting walls up thinking that they would keep the sharks away but apperntly they are just for show....can you please make it so when you turn it on easy they wont attack the sides with walls n stuff?????

(+2)

1. REALISTIC

im not hating but making the game more realistic would be more fun and adding all teh of the features that have been reqested (of course not ALL of them ). The only reason im asking of this is because when you play for a really long time you have food recorses because of the nets so the only thing to do is sit there and wait for the shark which is kinda boring.


2. SOUND

And please make the sound Q for the shark alittle louder because i have my headphones turned up on the second floore of my raft but when i come back down half of my faft is gone because i can never here the sound QAND ONE MORE THING BEFORE I GO!!! just to make it a little more ominis maybe play the JAWS music when your in the water because the shark starts swimming towards you just to make it kind of scary.

3. DEFENCE

I was thinking you could ad defence mekinisms and there have been alot of reqest of adding spikes and stuff but alot of people have been talking about weight so i dont think those would even be possible. what i as thinking of is somthing more....suttle. For instance when you kill the shark he always comes back!! theres no breaks inbetween! hes alllwaaaaays there. so i was thinking maybe when they try to eat the nets that are on the outside of the raft they would get caught in it delaying the spawn of another one.

4. FAMILY

This is kinda overkill but maybe the shark could have a family a kind of...reason why te sharks keep coming back and maybe when you killong of the sharks th eone from far out can smeel the blood and when they spawn the come rushing twords where ever the other one died.

5 DIVING

Maybe in the game sence the only things you can collect on the surface are planks scraps etc. when the shark isnt looking you could dive under water. this could increase your fatiuge when you diving in regularly.

6. GEAR (Last one!)

This is pretty much just an add-on to number five but SCUBBA GEAR WOULD BE AWSOME!! it could be used to stay under water longer because maybe when you go under water ynext to your fatuige you have a blue breath meeter and building peice-by-peice scubba gear would help you when your under water as far and moving and searching goes!!

These are alll ov my ideas for the game sorry if there really long but i spent really long time typing and coming up with these so please implement al LEAST one :3

Love It

maybe do something to defend from shark, like alert system or something like that, or make a wall that defend from him
