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
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

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
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!
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 :)
