I really hope this game can extend its features so when you have the basics down and have everything researched you’re not just building to keep the game fun for yourself. I think it’s be awesome to add something like villages you could go to by using something like a compass and the game would only spawn the village if you have the compass obtained so you can’t find it randomly in the beginning stages of the game (just an idea.) things like this would make the game so much more fun because it gives me something to look forward to once I am getting toward the ending stages of the game! I am hoping for not just bug fixes, but NEW CONSISTANT GAMEPLAY CONTENT!!! 

The point of these survival games are to (survive obviously) but also make life more convenient for yourself. This game needs a higher level feature of using materials that you can create on your boat without having to wait to find islands and manually mine for scraps for your main tools and such. 

Hope this isn’t a game that never comes out with new content because I really like this game and I don’t want to get bored

You should add motor parts. Sort of like in stranded deep.

Hi, i linke the game and i hope that i can give some good ideas.
the game is to easy at the moment on hard

1. There are too little stuff.
if you find nails you can craft all stuff

2. more sharks at islands will make it harder. one shark is too easy if you know how to attac him.
if there are more sharks -> bigger bait for 2 sharks or more crafted with the otther big fishes?

3. use the clock to see different seasons. At winter you cant plant crops or fishing. so you must stock your food.

4. you can find the blueprints in a box on a raft with pirats or so
pirats try to board your raft

5. a steering wheel that you can turn your raft to sail straight and dont at teh side

6. a storm damage the raft

7. a tool to climb on islands

8. you need the feather for arrows

9. elixir / bandage to heal or you heal very slowly

i hope my english isnt to bad that you know what i mean ;)

Rudder for fixing the rotation of your raft, slight bonus to fighting the wind with sail and paddle.

My husband and I have been playing this in co-op and love it. We'd love to see a way to repair hooks, axes, etc. Also it would be amazing if we could land on other rafts and maybe do quick repair or have a way to attach them to our rafts.

Please note that we are most active over at the steam forums and the official Raft Discord at: https://discord.gg/raft

                Not sure as to how or what direction you are taking this game, but I have idea that I believe would bring a nice twist to the game. when players finally find utopia. flip the script and turn it in to a mission base survival game, more tech to be learned, giving better gear and such. maybe missions to help keep utopia running and functioning. missions that take players out in to the depths of the area around utopia to add to the game play, with co op in game this would bring even more game play to this already great game, but like most survival games you get to a point of board and what is the point of playing. So turn market on its ear and give this game a twist when they get to utopia. Just idea

 I think the player should be able to make floors walls and ramps out of metal and  bigger islands  And mines for the  Islands   To mine up stone ,metal, other ore, and oil, 

make this game free but make a spot wear they can donate so then they have a option to pay or not pay for it

Making Bruce(shark) more fun

Fighting with Bruce could be more fun.

• Make it possible to actually avoid being bitten when you react very
  fast or make him cancel his attack when you hit him just in the right moment/spot
• Make Bruce far more dangerous. Make him take like 70% of your health and cause bleeding so you bleed out when you don't react good swiftly
• Make it hard with good gear and next to impossible naked with bad one

I would like to see enemies like a giant octopus or squid, and maybe even the Kraken during a storm.  If you ever come up with PVP that would be cool too.

1. A Smithy to craft better tool like the metall spear.

and so use the smithy you need coal and you can craft coal witch 2 different wood types. soft wood from the palm and hard wood from rare woods on islands

2. a rudder for self-rotation

3. a harpoon

4. a mortar to craft chemical like a underwater torch

Dear devs,

So i really like your game, playing this with friends has been a very relaxing and alround fun experience, i think you have a golden formula of gameplay on your hands right here but right now the main thing that seems to be lacking is the end game. Exploring the world and making your raft better is nice and all but it won't stay fun forever. 

I think i have thought of  a pretty good solution for this problem though. Now disclaimer: i know nothing of gamedesign or the technical capabilities of your engine so if the things i'm saying are actually borderline impossible ignore them i guess.

When i played this game for the first time i couldnt shake the feeling that it was kind of like sea of thieves but way WAY better. So i started thinking about how good a game could be that combines the best elements from both.

I will now try to describe the gameplay experience for a new player the moment he and his friends download and boot up this game.

1. Building a raft. This stage would be really similar to the gameplay as it is right now. You load into a singleplayer game with your friends and you just start collecting stuff to build up your raft. on Islands you can find weapons and you have a map that fills the places where you have been(would be nice if you could name places you discover yourself on that map). after a bit of exploring you find a corner of the map where there are a lot of enemies, obviously you only want to go there once your raft is trong enought to take them, so for now you keep exploring.

2. going PvP after some time you and your friends have built a pretty strong raft and you feel confident you can take on that area, a boss fight ensues. if you manage to beat that boss your ship is repaired and you are teleported to the next world, this world has better loot to make your raft even stronger, it has some ai that bother you every now and again, but most importantly you are playing a PvP game now!!. Just like in sea of thieves you will have to watch out for enemy ships who will try to fuck you up all the time to steal your cargo. Now i'm thinking the destruction of your ship will make your ship reset completely to what it was when u entered that area. The endgoal in this area should be the same as in the first one. you beat a boss to progress to an area with even stronger ai, even better loot and even stronger player controlled enemy rafts. this system of progression could also be used as some kind of ranking system where that first world is unranked, the second bronze, the third silver etc. this will make sure this game doesnt die like sea of thieves because there's no progression.

I think this system could work really well especially since the downfall of sea of thieves was that nothing was customizable except clothing which made it hard for me to really care about my ship. whereas in this system, you and your friends will have build your ship with blood sweat and tears and you will want to show the world shes the best and reach high elo with her.

of course this is a very rough draft of my ideas for this game and i would like to hear from you about why you think it can or can't work.

regards and kisses

Make Raft 1.05 On Mac And Linux

Because I Am So Tired Because Raft 1.04

THAKNS

i was thinking about how to improve/add more content to the research table aswell as possibilities within the game. i've been noticing that when a bit further in the game the general need for plastic goes down whilest they do always end up in my collection net, i feel like a good way to expand the research table aswell as dealing with the plastic. is to create a new researchable the ''chemistry set'' in wich you can turn a glass into chemistry cups (and perhaps use other materials for other chemistry components) and in real life you can turn plastic back into oil, or a different liquid fuel. so with a chemistry set in game, and therefor unlocking the ability to make oil and other potential substances we can expand the list of things to research/build like for example having oil and fuel as a requirement for a motor that can drive your boat.

also perhaps other materials that can be converted by the use of a chemistry set, maybe materials that arent yet in the game but can be found on or around islands in the future.

im looking forward to seeing new suggestions regarding the idea of a chemistry set.

Hi, its been a while since comment but, I just downloaded and played the game. I havent read all the comments but yet there is something I would have like to have in game and its perhaps a slow calm and relaxing music. I tought it might have been by design but, if in the debris we can gather there was more useless stuff like old bottles or balls or stuff just to hang somewhere, but also a music box. A music box that the player would have to crink to get like 15-30 sec of music. I think it would be great. thanks.
