better info than the video. with seagulls on my playthrough, i have several internal buildings on the ground floor that they attack, despite them being behind layers lol.

Wow, thanks😁, does it also work with other heads?

Hands down the best raft tips and tricks video thank you. Will you get into the other machines and tools in another video?

I’ve seen that trick - I personally don’t like the resulting look (except for maybe two engines merged together), and I don’t think it’s necessary for a fully equipped raft like I’ve got in my other video, but more power to ya! I also know that triangle foundations/floors can float on their own, but I didn’t feel the need to use that either.

@@clawsonbournegaming5491 I use it to keep my raft small...like 4 battery chargers on 2 blocks...or 2 fuel tanks or water tanks on 1 block. Or for merging collection nets so they can hold more in the front without making the entire raft floor collection nets.

No, Bruce could attack any of those pieces, including the collection nets. However, he tends to prefer attacking the outside edges. And, once you can afford it, Bruce will never attack an armored foundation or collection net. That’s correct, if every foundation and collection net on your raft is armored, Bruce will stop attacking. That, however is a lofty goal - Islands tend to have only a dozen or so metal ores that can be harvested (plus or minus a few bolts or hinges in loot crates), and you tend to use a little less than a dozen for tools and weapons per island, so you get very few in profit that can go toward armor. I have another video that’s a tour of my raft, and the outside edge is just empty foundations meant for Bruce to munch on.

Also, Bruce attacking is actually a good thing - it gives you an easy opportunity to attack and eventually kill him, and sharkmeat is an excellent food source, especially when used in Shark Dinner.

All you need is to armor PERIMETER foundations only. It used to be ALL, but as of update 12 you only need the outmost ones armored. Even holes in the middle e.g. your Anchor are safe. Tested this in practice through 3 playthroughs. Also, considering the fact every small island has no less than 20, typically 30+ metal ores, and you need 2 metal hooks to fully strip (except useless stone) even BIG island - its a go to way for every respectable rafter: before the 1st POI I have the lower level of raft fully armored and netted, which makes the rest of the game muuuuuch more enjoyable, since you have to bother about fun stuff, not housekeeping chores. Another protip - at the beginning when metals are scarce, use ONE metal hook to gather deep stuff, and multiple plastic hooks to gather the rest, since latter are practically free to make, I just keep in the inventory some planks and plastic and craft hooks as required. Happy surviving!

Just makes it a hassle to kill and harvest their meat frequently.

@@clawsonbournegaming5491 this. 1 hit for 2 drumsticks. Theyre the most efficient source of drumsticks and feathers

Animal heads (including shark, bear, screecher, and warthog) are the best biofuel…fuel. Here’s why: 1. You can’t eat most animal heads: Besides as a trophy, these would be useless otherwise - The exception is Poison Puffer Heads which can be used to make Head Broth, a great recipe. 2. They’re fairly common: You’ll get 1 Shark Head from Bruce every so often, 1-3 Screecher/Warthog/Bear Heads from almost every large island you visit, and as many Bear Heads as you want from farming Balboa. 3. Animal heads are also the most efficient: 1 Animal Head + 1 Jar of Honey = 1 Biofuel. For comparison, it takes 2.5 Watermelons and a Jar of Honey for the same Biofuel. If you only wanted to use crops for Biofuel, yes, Watermelons would be best as they can be used twice just like eating them, however, you would still have other, better options in terms of value:hunger, such as buckets of milk, cave mushrooms, and red berries (if you didn’t want to use those in recipes). For a full list of items that can be refined into biofuel and how much they’re worth, see raft.fandom.com/wiki/Biofuel_Refiner

You must place a foundation first, place the pipe, and then remove the foundation: the pipe will remain, and you can place a net collector below it, as long as you have another foundation directly adjacent.

That is total, but foundations can only be placed in the water, they cannot be placed higher. No other building piece (whether that be walls or pillars or floors) or structure (like the engine or anchor or collection nets) counts toward that limit. There is also a new item available from the Trading Posts called the Foundation Counter that…well, does as its name suggests.

@@clawsonbournegaming5491 Thank You

Yes and no. Visually they will appear to be detached, but they will not move independently of one another.

Ok that makes sense thanks

First, place the two support foundations with a half pillar and two windowed walls each. Then, add some collection nets around them, placing a temporary foundation, a net, then removing the temporary. You should have at least two collection nets between the support foundations and windowed walls. Next, build the second floor with wooden floors, each set of support foundation and walls should support a 3x3 of floors above them. That is the most important step, having the roof, because: You must place the Hammock on a ceiling, not on the ground. You are correct, Hammocks cannot be placed directly on collection nets, and you are also correct that a grounded Hammock will not fit between a two wide space. A hanging hammock, on the other hand, floats above the floor, and takes up less space. In my raft tour, I have all my hammocks on the bottom floor for this reason. Hope that helps.

@@clawsonbournegaming5491 you're a legend thanks so much

Check out my other Raft video, which is a tour of my raft - in one of the comments, someone else asked the same question, and I wrote a detailed reply. That video is here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oq-CgNSTxse4ppc.html To be really brief, you need to go to a large island, kill poison puffers, smelt their goo into powder, craft a net launcher and ammo, use that to capture animals, place them in a fenced off area of the raft, use a shovel to collect dirt to craft grass plots, and finally build a sprinkler to water them. In terms of the water purifier, I’ll assume you’re talking about the electric water purifier. So, it can only be placed on the raft such that the water pipe is in the water (meaning it needs to be on the bottom floor), and the issue you’re most likely having is that you need to have a battery installed in it. After that, just make sure it’s connected with pipes to your sprinklers - you can’t harvest that water directly yourself, so you’ll need at least two advanced purifiers for water for yourself.

@@clawsonbournegaming5491 Thank you for all the help brother. I figured it out. But today I wanted to do a relaxing creative world and some how it saved it over my Original game so I lost everything I worked so hard for over the last week. So I just started a new one in normal mode this time. But have very little 🤔 right now lol

so why do I have 2 beehives being powered by one crop plot of flowers?

@@anotheruserism If you have 12 flowers you will produce the maximum of 3 honeycombs every 8 minutes. You are likely producing only 1.

@@toddabbott781 ah ok. I don't need that much so guess it never bothered me. Although recently when a friend built a complete new raft the game glitched and it essentially doubled my supplies. Instead of 10 large storage I now have 22! The contents was doubled as well!
