Ultimate starter guide! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gZuFg7SlvdDdkqM.html

This my friend is undoubtedly one of the best tutorial I have seen. It's not cringy. It's not long winded. you show the functionality. The steps. I didn't feel like clicking the next tutorial. Pleased at your video editing skills, they are superb. Thank you.

Dude, the movement part with the sails was insane. Such creativity! Helped a ton!

Never even thought about putting a shelf on the raft before, great tip!

I finally wanted to make a raft and this so helpful, specially crafting it in the video. Makes it so much easier and step by step to understand, thank you so much man :')

After a terrifying encounter with a hammerhead shark who flipped my inflatable raft several times I am finally committed to spending my time focusing on building a raft with a sail and rudder to put run that mean beast.. my heart was racing but I managed to make it home alive..m daaamn that's my second close encounter with death in this game. Full health, food and water, saved the game I am currently about to paddle out to find the resources I need to get started. Thank you for these videos they are really helpful

I've set up my current raft with 4 sails and I gotta say it's the best thing ever! Wish I had know about it when I first started playing the game XD Thank you very much. I find I almost never use the rudder anymore.

Just getting into stranded deep and I appreciate the video. Long enough to give you the basics plus a few helpful tips but not dragged out too long or full of useless rambling. Good stuff.

I love this tutorial you explained it very easy so I know what I’m doing thank you so much for making this video!!

Just started this game recently and just tried making rafts and didn't work well so thanks! This will help me immensely

I got this over a year ago an played the life out of it, had a little year hiatus an thanks to another gaming channel started up again this week. But may I say, you’re videos are fantastic they’re incredibly informative and put together really well. And that tip about the bases being removable an shall we say confusing the game to think it’s still their is absolute genius, this will make massive rafts way more accessible now so thank you immensely. Keep up the cracking content sir.

YAAY I'll finally make a good raft thx GDG your the best guide person

AWESOME!!! Thanks for making this amazing and helpful video!

Well explained no BS, thank you 🤙🏻

Thanks. Great vid w/ much good and useful information. I struggled MIGHTILY getting the floor/deck parts to go on. Eventually I had to bring the raft out into open water and there I FINALLY got them on. Not sure why I struggled so bad but from what I saw when I searched "Stranded Deep Can't get floor to go on raft" I was far from the only one that ran into this playing the game 😆

You fit so much into this video. Great job!

It's was a great idea to show the quick craft on the boat. Now everyone knows how to get the tires out of the tankers easily. I now have a reference to when I put a canopy on. I always get them backwards...lol.

Me and my sister just recently started to play this game, so this is the best tutorial i have seen to make a decent (basic raft), its not too long, you didnt complicate things when you were giving out the description when you made it. So thank you so much!

Thank you, this was actually pretty useful! :)

This is great, well done thanks! I accidentally made my first raft with the sail backwards... it does handle well so i left it that way :)

Helped me so much,appreciate it man

Very helpful tips! I picked up the game back when it was early access and played it a good bit, just getting back into it again and your videos are seriously handy!

Smaller rafts can handle almost as well with fewer resources. A 3x3 raft with container shelves in each corner, a rudder under a canopy, an adjacent anchor, and a single sail can not only practically go in circles, you can fully automate the craft while never letting go of the rudder. You raise the sail, grab the rudder, then raise the anchor to go. A considered approach and good timing with the anchor makes most tricky maneuvers unnecessary.

OUTSTANDING Video. Started out with a great overview then went on to the basics of building a raft for us newbies. I am a subscriber to Granddaddy Gamer because he remembers what it was like to be a newbie in the game.

I really enjoy your how to vids it’s always super simple and straight forward Edit: I subbed

Thanks so much for this video, and the many others you have made this game.. I steer the way you do. Thanks for that tip. So much easier.

This was a fantastic video to come across! I'd about given up hope of figuring rafts out. Thank you for this!

This just changed the way I play this game. Thankyou so much. I never built a raft because I thought the original survival boat was good enough, you have changed that view entirely.

Awesome. Great video. Thank you

Thanks heaps. The advice made all the difference :)

Appreciate the vid man. Didn’t know your rudder can be built in the middle like that (bases around it) think I’m going to try that

tnxs m8 you rock! Nice explanation, nice organize you help e lot!

I see your still at it bro! nice video great tips for the new players. I see you like that hole in the middle 😉 me too. 😆

Good work dude this has helped me out so much thanks

Love the video, you have given a lot to think about.

Awesome video. I’m definitely gonna try this. 👍

I like your sail strategy, I use a catamaran design with my rudder nearer the middle of the raft but yours is better once you get the hang of the layout. Nice one!

Love your guides...thanks!

Best tutorial yet nice work

I just picked this game up since i was bored. It loaded an old save file and I'm totally new to the game so I'll just vanilla reset tomorrow. Appreciate the videos

I know this is old but I really appreciate it. You make the game playable.

I’m very glad this video did as well as it did. I didn’t think many people cared for stranded deep anymore but I guess I was wrong

Very helpful, thank you!

So useful,thanks alot bro:)

Brilliant guide and in using it I made a 3 x3 (which has wings on the side like a ladies tamp** lol), I put my rudder in the centre of the raft; I have the anchor in front which I can reach without leaving the rudder. I have 2 sails left and right of the anchor which I can also reach without leaving the rudder - the left sail goes forward, the right sail reverses. Using this setup you can sail backwards or forwards to your own preference. I like to go forwards so when Im reversed clear of land I spin the raft on a tight axis. By doing this if you're quick enough you can keep sight of the island youre heading to (bit like an ice skater focuses on one point when spinning) which is a big help in compass free runs....(its easy to lose focus in bad weather)

I already completed the game, but i decided to start again and also decided to watch this. Thank you for the video

That was hugely helpful! Thank you.

hey granddaddy gamer your tutorial was very helpfull thanks for helping me be able to make a raft it was very hard for me.

Much easier to just build everything on top of boxes to elevate it. Was going crazy building in water and then got that idea. Just a tip to players. The shelf thing is awesome. Had no idea you could do that on a raft. Will help alot. Great video mate!

Hands down the best raft tutorial online

Thank you. Good job.

That was pretty awesome and helpful

such a good tutorial this helped so much

This was awesome. This kids is how you make a KZfaq video. I learned so much from this. Thank you.

What I would really like to know what is the purpose/difference of having brick flooring to stick flooring? plus tyres and buoy balls are nice to use compared to barrels

You were very helpful bro thank you

Unsure if already mentioned but when navigating backwards, keep the rudder pointing the direction you want the craft to go. I have to watch the rudder because my thumb keeps on pressing the wrong way! And totally easier!

Great video!

Thanks this helped alot

Nice Video. Thank you.

This helped me tons, you are a Chad.

I still hope they will add an option to build real ships, like a brigg or a sloop. Would be a fun mix of survival and feeling like a pirate.

14:00 I screwed myself XD ! , Thanks for the video tho man , very good tutorial !!!!

Good vid ..just bought this on Boxing Day 2021.. Huge learning curb but fun.

thank you, i would have missed so much without you

I'm a beginner and I thought everything was covered thx u for the help

Not going to lie, that last tip about adding basses to your raft "in the wild" seems like a great way to transport certain resources without taking up cargo space. Thanks for it.

Awesome! ❤️

Thank you for this.

Haha, i had a great raft with all my gear. Alot. I jumped off some reason and watched my raft disappear full sail. Never played since but good video

Helpful my friend

Your videos are so helpful man

Great job 👍

Sick vid bro. Thx

This is so helpful since me and my gf are playing co op on console! Thank you

I like to build a 3x3 (or 3x4) with the center of 2nd row empty. Like an “0” shape. The sail should go either right or left on 1st row, anchor centered at front, and motor/rudder in the empty spot. (You can replace rudder with motor later, because the motor will act as a rudder when you run out of gas.) Then put shelves on the back row or rows. This configuration puts you at the front to drive the raft with clear view and with sail & anchor in easy reach.

I can't even stay alive long enough to build a hobo stove

The only problem I encountered with this game is a lack of resources on the islands. Wish I can stay on one island and that everything respawns the other day. Always when I craft something huge like a raft I have to think about water and food which is tricky.

Answered all my questions 🥰

Awesome video

been trying to figure out wth the hooks are for! and been rollin with my crates just chillin on my raft always falling off never knew you could build a container shelf on there! thanks

Thanks!

Thank you this

cool video thank you

what a nice island u got :D

That's so cool, thanks. So with that trick of building a split raft base, could you then build floors on top of the "missing" base, thereby making a catamaran?

Thanks Grandpa

I made a raft that kind of resembles the y wing from Star Wars. Where the engines would be on the y wing, I placed container racks and right behind the “cockpit” is the rudder and sail

I found this video very helpfull thank you a ton! Only had 1 question, what seed are you on? I really want that island for a base location

thanks so much was driving me nuts that you couldnt attach after construction

The floor on barrels adds weight to it, so it will sink a little bit more.

Hello I'm 2 days into the game have to say really liking the game. However I'm at the point where a raft is prolly more safer then that yellow tip over. I was having problems with the raft watched your video only to find out you that they automatically join haha. I will be watching your videos from here on out cheers

omg this tips i really loved it

That island😍😍

Great video! Thanks for the clear and concise information. I was wondering- where can I find the island that you’re on? It seems like the ideal place to set up a base

Bro… HOOOOOOWWWW are you so good at tips

It is amazing! I've never thought that this could be possible. Thanks for the tips. Now, I couldn't stop noticing this island, where did I find it? Is it a mod?

I’m trying the game again… Bought it long time ago and early release and ice still dislike the user interface so bad, but after nine hours yesterday, a lot of things started to click, and become in my memory. I am super thrilled vers. 1.+ higher has been released so at least I can say if I have trouble it’s because of me and not so much of the bugs in the game. I’m also thrilled. There’s a goal and a plan to get rescued… Never understood the way to get out of the game or to finish or end it, really glad I get the full experience now. So I’ve also really appreciate your tutorial like the other comment said super detailed and precise. Looks like the tires are the way to go. And I’ve been to two islands… Does anyone know how many islands are in total? Thanks again for the video.

Heads up for newbies- remember to hoist your sail and drop anchor if you jump off the raft. I’m a newbie and have been following along but I didn’t have enough rocks for an anchor so just skipped it. On my maiden voyage I got overheated so figured I’d take a quick dip to cool down. I forgot to hoist the sail and watched helplessly as my raft sailed away :(

Remember before storage rack for boxes came out; we would design our rafts with gaps in the middle to sit boxes between the foundations and the deck ... They would rattle violently..and God forbid you flipped... all gone.
