Make the shark less darn annoying!
The problem is the shark is a completely silent, noiseless predator, and with an expanding base that might incorporate walls there is so way of predicting if the very floor you're standing on is being mauled by a shark. The shark doesn't feel threatening, it just irritates the player.
A suggestion would be to make a barrier of scrap and nails. This can be crafted fairly cheaply and will provide extra resistance to survive at least 1 shark attack. This can help solve the problem of the build up of scrap I seem to have too. Barriers could be attatched to the sides of foundations, and can make loud denting sounds when a shark is trying to eat it.
Just my thoughts :-)
The game is really awesome so far, kudos to you guys!
I'd love to see challenging late game content like storms, waves, pirates, anything that keeps the game a challenge.
Also islands would be nice, but you would have to leave them again for some reason haha because the game is all about the raft.
And some interesting rare loot that is different from the usual stuff, so that I'm always worried if I miss anything while I'm building. I like that tension.
Way to go, keep it up.
If transportation happens in this game, you're gonna need something to move the raft.
First of all, power.
You need to make engines (scrap + ???) and place them on the edge of your ship so that it can move.
The more things your raft has built on it, the more engines you'll need. (Maybe you can make more efficient engines?)
Then, you need something to drive it. I think a helm would fit. With rope and planks. Place it, and have enough power to move your raft, and you're off!
:3
Add animals you can tame such as seals and small squids. The seals and squid would be tamed with fish. The animals would have an ability. The squid would be able to bring resources from the ocean floor the more squids you have the bigger items you can get. Squid would be able to bring small clumps of sand, scrap metal, rock, coral and other junk. Seals would be able to defend the raft and hunt tuna for you the player to eat.
Also allow the player to get palm oil from palm seeds for something.(I always have a chest full of palm seeds)
So shark just ate one of my foundations with pillar on it. Resulting in loosing foundation itself, pillar, floor, wall and and two palm plants....
Really need to implements some sort of automated defence against shark. For example scrap reinforcement (jaws cannot chew on metal right?) spikes or whatever.
Or something that will prevent shark from destryoing foundation completely so it can be repaired on regular basis wihtout the need of runnning around the raft with spear non stop guarding it.
This game should have day challenges with rewards that'll increase your ability to survive, it should be like a hard mode where you lose all your needs quickly and are forced to survive harder! Maybe a move tool that'll help you move items from one play to another.
love this game thanks for creating it!
