I vote for having multiplayer to make RAFT great again!

(+1)(-1)

Devs have already that multiplayer is not planned for the foreseeable future. Its in the FAQ.

DANGG i vote too

Why? It would just be Rust on the water. Would completely defeat the purpose of the minimalist survival game. You're stranded at sea. Do you expect to come across hundreds of other people stranded at sea who also happen to be building rafts? Thank God the developer isn't giving in to you people whining for multiplayer.

I think that a 2 player "Multiplayer" would be more acceptable for this type of game, rather than visiting and raiding other rafts. A 2 player experience would be entertaining while not going over-the-top with other players.

get is kinda laggy! also a good idea would be if you added more levels or materials! for example it would be nice if you could upgrade the wooden fountation into an iron one(so you will be protected from shark) ..same goes for others building materials! You can also add some islands! and maybe add nets that can captivate the shark

please can you set it on steam greenlight ?

I think you should add a bigger plot to plant potatoes and i think it would be cooler if you put more plants and things.

I don't suppose you could make the equipped items stay there permanently? Some time I'll be filling up tins, and then it will just leave my quick equip tab, so I have to go back into the menu and equip it. It's a small thing, but it would be a good and helpful fix.

By the way, I really love this game and can't wait to see more of it in the future.

You should add some Music to make it more peaceful, and also make the players choose which music they want in settings. i recommend adding more items that require scrap. and making the map infinite because some youtubers managed to get to the edge of the map.

Maybe there would be gentle ambiance music when the player is just surviving, but things get more intense if the shark is coming? And if music is added, there should be an option to turn it off. I'd hope the music in the game would be copyright-free and/or royalty-free, because not too many games do that, and it makes live streaming and video recording a pain.

As for the scrap, it seems that the newly-added chests require quite a bit of scrap. So that's useful. Other suggestions have been things like harpoons.

Progression: The further you sail, the better / newer items you start to unlock.

Sails: More sails equals faster sailing (err.. or drifting). Don't have to necessary move the raft. Just an internal distance counter.

Storms: Clouds building on the horizon then you hit a storm. Huge waves would be legit (although maybe too complicated to simulate) but just heavy rain, wind, and parts of the raft having a chance to break off would be great. Might mess with your distance as well.

Left Field: Ice-burgs.

Keep up the good work!

We all know that scrap isn't the most used resource in the game,so heres my idea:
SPIKES!
Spikes would allow your raft to stay safe from the shark in a 1 block radius around the spike,and spikes could be placed on walls,making a cool looking epic viking-like raft with deadly spikes covered in blood.This could be used for afk item/potato farming (which in this game you should encourage as the entire game depends on gaining these resources).These spikes could be made from scrap.We also need a renewable way of farming scrap,which could be...eh...i dunno you'll think of it.

-Have a good one.

whys the shark eating your wood raft any way? also for farming metal mabe abandoned boats you can scrap ? i mean all the parts that float passed must be coming from some were right? ..... just ignore there floating its very heavy water thats why you can make a 2x99999999x2 raft and it doesn't sink. finally found out why :D also gun parts from abandoned boats? and uncraftable tools?i know i spelt thta wrong idk how to fix it though Xb

I think birds would be great, they could come with diseases such as salmonella if you eat a raw egg or get nauseous and sick if you eat raw fish, potatoes, birds and even The Shark.

Hello I want to contribute some ideas to the game, because it is a very good game and has much potential,

1) put more fruits and vegetables to not stagnate in coconuts,

and potatoes, and achieve a craft of tropical salads by the style of the game

INCLUDE FRUITS: pineapples, Mango, ORANGES, TANGERINES and BANANAS.

2) Add glass the rubble to beautify the boat, and make containers of beverages.

(3) ISLANDS: the Islands would be useful as have the opportunity of shelter is of the heat,

and collect fruits, besides load is of wood and because not add maps to the kill to a shark

4) maps: to the kill animals carnivorous or scavenging by them Islands find maps for find chests

that us den things unique, that things? that I leave to you.

Thank YOU

I definitely agree with more fruits and vegetables. Oranges could be needed to prevent scurvy. Food recipes sounds great.

good idea

Сделайте что-бы с акулы выпадала кожа :) sorry for my Russian

(+1)

I used Google Translate to see what you said, and it translated to: "Do something to fall out with shark skin"

I agree, shark skin would be very useful. It could be used to make water-resistant bags as well as clothing (boots or swimming fins would be good). I'd suggest adding a drying rack as well (to dry out the shark skin into a leather so it's easier to work with).

great idea

(+1)

Survival mechanics and features I'd like to see:

  • Temperature/exposure - incentive to build shelters
    • Weather would be a nice addition
    • Clothing to increase exposure resistance
    • Day/night cycle with different base temperatures at different times of the 24-hour cycle
  • Items to increase inventory size (backpacks, etc)
  • Diving (with or without a skill tree or items that allow deeper dives)

to shallow just put on goggles... drop somthing off the edge and see what i mean

(+2)

It could be cool if the floating items came from different sides.

It could also be cool if there was a way to upgrade foundations to make them more resistant to sharks, but at the same time add more sharks, stronger sharks and so on to make it harder.

I love the game and hope to see more updates :)

There should also be a day counter, and night sessions, so you can keep track of how long you are, and progressivly it should get harder.

maybe a multiplayer option

Ths game has great potential but needs some updates first. these are my suggestions.

Different types of trees and plants that give other foods

furniture which can be created e.g. bed to sleep in

traps that can catch fish and the shark

different modes easy, medium and hard

easy is one shark

medium is three sharks

hard is 5 shark

day/night cycle

different weapons which have higher damage

scrap metal creates armour which give extra health

options and control settings

blueprint mode which people can install other peoples rafts

add a posibility to do a server like in minecraft something little ! i love your game ! and add more things to do with metal

idk if multiplayer might be good in this game but if you like the idea I would appreciate it.

Need a background music. be it relaxing, panic, pump up kind of music. Just because some of us a game bloggers who are mute. it's a good thing that u can get some loop musics on..

Multiplayer? and, different game modes hardcore(one life) Normal (goes back to resent save) and, different Types of worlds (Snow hard, Ice hard, Sunny easy, stormy medium), more stuff to build, bigger dimensions for foundations and floors, different highs for pullers. and more tools

Stormy should be hard because a storm would destroy your raft

true true

| bouts will be good | Iron stuff will be good | shark traps will be AWESOME! | Diff sharks | DO NOT PUT blueprints in Game | fish nets will be good | cheats will be AWESOME! | more building will be Nice | add a ice age | Faster sprint (Shift) | building angle will be nice | ADD IRON Floor,Walls, @ for most of building things | Add Big'er/Better nets also make them look better | Add Armor | add diff Trees and things like dat |

and also plzz add this stuff will be AWESOME! ps i LOVE this game

I think that there should be enemies like pirates or whales and you can raid pirates ships and they could try to raid you. Flintlocks, Cannons etc. should be added to give an extra use for scrap and add gunpowder. There should be beds and the sleep requirement as well as heat and dealing with your raft getting caught on fire. There should be doors to protect you from enemies such as pirates and nails should be added so you can choose between rope or nails for your buildings. You should be able to reinforce your foundations and walls with scrap so that the shark cannot break it so easily. Here is a list of animals and enemies and foods that should be added:

More fish types just to add more variety into the game (Cod, Salmon, Tuna etc.)

More plants (Corn, maize, wheat, sugar cane etc.) for making different foods using a new object.

Foods you can make: Tortillas, popcorn, Bread, sugar etc.

Food Recipes: Tortilla + any meat or fish = Taco, Water + Sugar + Any fruit = Juice, Flour (Wheat, corn or maize) + sugar + Coconut milk + eggs = Cake etc. Be creative with foods as I think there is an entire range of food items that should be able to be crafted

Whales (Little bigger than a killer whale) That are rare but can destroy large chunks of your raft (Should only spawn after < 1 hour of playing) They should produce whale meat which should be a little more nutritious than shark meat.

Pirates. They come in a pirate ship and are armed with flintlocks. Their ship has cannons and can shoot your raft which will destroy whatever it hits. They have cutlasses and will board your raft and attack you. When you destroy their ship it drops loot (planks rope nails barrels scrap food etc.) and it all floats along for you to catch. Pirates can also loot any chests not behind closed doors but the cannons can shoot down the door

Birds. Birds can steal your food and create nests on your trees. You can harvest these eggs to either get more birds for food or for eating. You should be able to boil the egg in a tin can full of water over the cooking station.

Salt. Salt should be obtained by putting salt water in the cooking station instead of the water purifier. It should be used to make food more filling but take away from thirst

Finally the weird one. You should have the option to pee in a cup and drink it immediately if you are about to die and your water is still cooking. You should receive debufs for this like walking slower because you are feeling sick and you may have to vomit into the sea which will contaminate any water got from it for 5 mins.

Thanks for reading and I will come up with more ideas at a later date.
