Before I get another influx of comments informing me that the shark’s name is Bruce, yes, I know, and I will continue to call him Jeremiah because that’s what I called him before I ever reached the Radio Tower, and no, I will not stop :).

From looking at the seagull attack code, if I understood it correctly, when the seagull decides to attack it will first look straight at the very center of every single crop plot with watered small or medium plants you have and go straight for the first one it has a clear line of sight to (or to the regular scarecrow protecting it); any plot that the seagull can't see the center of, or that is protected by an indestructible scarecrow, is skipped. If the seagull saw no viable target then it looks for nests and lands on the first one it has line of sight to. Thus, AFAIK nests don't protect fully exposed crops at all, and only help indirectly with partially exposed ones by making seagulls spend some time on the raft and less time looking for food. Also, you should only ever need two nests as long as they both have an unobstructed view of the whole sky, as you only ever have two seagulls active at the same time. BTW, my preference when it comes to nests is to put them somewhere I have a clear line of sight at most times (in other words, somewhere I can shoot an arrow at them), and put a solid object behind them but without obstructing their view of the sky (so the arrow lodges itself there if I miss). Ever since I started doing this I've had a steady supply of seagull meat and never lost an arrow. Also, a hint if you have pasture on an upper deck with a sprinkler is to hang small crop plots under it; since the sprinkler reaches half a floor below it, small crop plots hanging from the nine tiles the sprinkler covers will be watered too, and will be protected from seagulls to boot.

I've kind of casually began adding the horizontal supports as I have the resources and time out of fear of the bug being patched someday and causing a grand calamity when I load in lol

Heres a cheeky trick: have either 2 titanium sword or machete in your slotbar, and approach an enemy and hit it, now upon hitting it quickly and like REALLY quickly switch to your other weapon, it'll cause the game to register another hit making 2x the damage with one swing

for me the best trick my friend told me is, shark always spawn at the 2x2 foundation and he always swim around that spot, by that my friend always anchore at the non resource side of any island, so we can freely gather stuff at another side.

I love how easy your videos are to follow along with and how you focus on the practicalities. It's helping me a TON as a new player to the game. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!!

I usually like to build a half height crawl space for the entire raft. Hang plants under, then place beehives on top. No bird troubles. I also run plumbing through it, so I can hide everything.

Experienced raft player here and learned something new! Love all ur raft content videos and hope u keep making them! Cheers!

crop plots are a great source of food when used to entice seagulls, shoot the seagull with the bow. Endless meat :)

for shark aggro avoidance you can also just parry his bite with a spear strike. if you hit him before he gets too close (by starting the attack as soon as he opens his jaws), his hit will be cancelled and he will have to do his usual loop before trying to bite you again. you can basically do the same steps as in the tip except you swap shark bait with 2-3 good timed spears. (i just dont like spending time for the shark bait)

Incredible explanations as always

Haven’t even watched the entire video and I already know it’s gonna be an Awesome video 👍🏼

tx.. the smelter/clay tip was bringing me forward... got stuck at low tech lvl b4..

I really hope the devs release some sort of new content for the game. I captured 10 Llama after update 3 hit thinking I would need massive titanium for crafting and such...and while I used quit a bit. It was mostly just QoL upgrades.

Thanks, it was REALLY helpful vid

Great video Ali!

When I saw how you laid out chests there Ali, I had the thought that you might like Valheim as well; it has base building elements, too.

So I definitely googled “Do you have to fortify every piece of your foundation?” and saw posts from 2-3 years ago saying you do-- I’ve now fortified all 99 foundation. RIP me

I try not to use the floating floor method as 1 patch could destroy my whole ship. Also, destroying walls or whatever a chest is attached too, it also destroys the chest, leaving no contents of said chest(s) behind. Learned the hard way.

Good stuff, thanks!

There are some ocasionl bugs in this game so even fool protection of crops some times dont work but its realy rare You can place pipes higher without placing additional floors by placing piece on top of the one youll remove later

Great guide as always

Thank you. Very helpful.

#1 I feel like it's wrong not to talk about how beneficial it can be to just slaughter seagulls for food and feathers! I like having them visit. An additional tip that I wasn't aware of, until watching another of your videos, is that you can kill seagulls right in the early early game by throwing stones at them! Also, a tip I'd add is to empty vulnerable plots of crops before you leave the raft to visit an island. replant when you return to the raft.

As an experience player I learned 2 things! Great video thank you!

Thank you, it helped but i had a little bit of problems. Good Tutorial

12:10 she knows how to make the piping experience less painful lol

i would also like to add that you can connect the water pipes directly below the sprinklers as well. just a thought if it helps

the sharks respawn time tip helped me alot thanks

not collecting the shark head blew my mind. Thats a pro tip right there

I just realized 3rd person exists lol. My buddy wanted to use 3rd, its not as smooth to play in as grounded's 3rd person, but it is helpful for a different perspective and to see what my character looks like, or for chopping trees, seems like in rooms in boat 1st is best. Also I know its costly to make cross beams, but I like the way it looks to have the beams in the ceiling, Im working on an epic pirate ship, and it would save me mats, but Im having fun with it.

Thanks!

I love the look of pipes going everywhere so I tend to run the pipes outside the raft. Looks so steam-punky LOL

I was playing Raft yesterday and I wanted an apiary for my bees, but you cant stack bee hives easily... so I took some time and experimented with them, turns out they fit ontop and underneath a roof piece, and all of that can fit under a 1 1/2 tall walls. I HIGHLY recommend checking it out, saves so much space

The shark heads are a good source for biofuel, I still probably won't leave them.

I think best food to eat is Vegetable Soup (also gives bonus hunger) you only need to farm clay for it (requires 2 clay to make 4 bowls) It only needs 2RawBeet & 2Potatoes which can be planted easily

So helpful.... Thank you

In the beginning I recommend having a cheap hook for hauling stuff in when on the raft and an upgraded one to use for mining when on an island to save durability plus metals on the long term. Same goes for having a cheap spear for regular shark attacks on the raft while drifting (as it is always a three hitter whatever upgrade) and use an upgraded one when on an island, which will result in more shark kills when docked granting you free loot time in the reef around; metal. As for the axe I almost never find it useful and a bit of a waste in resources like metal early on. But regarding the foundations armor, go metal🤘! Great vid!

I always build 1and1/2 wall tall for the first floor. Then I cover it with flooring and do another 1/2 wall height before I make the floor for the seconf floor of the raft. So my second floor starts at a height of 2 full walls, but between the floors I always have the 1/2 wall high crawl area for piping. Also if you place the antenas on the outside of the raft in the height of the floor 1&1/2 walls up and the reciver on the floor 2 walls up it will completely hide the ugly wires going from the antenna to the reciver

Some good tips here

@Alidove any way you can do a more in-depth video about pipes/farm/biofuel setup. Trying to figure out a way to get a pipe through a floor without having some kind of opening

nice guide. I'm trying to 100% the achievements. have you got any suggestion to get the 365 day achievement as fast as possible other than just sleeping as much as I can?

shark heads and other enemy heads can be composted for biofuel!

Saving the sharkheads is worth for the refiner after you unlock it 🤙 all trophy heads have a decent worth when filling it.

The first shark you encounter is the real Bruce. All others are Jeremiah, Johan, Steve, or in my case Kevan.

Muchas gracias reina. Muy buenos tips

YIPPEE LOVE YOU !!

heads are actually quite useful when it comes to the biofuel refiners

I would advise you look at Z1 gaming chapter 3 episode 1 cause in that video the seagulls DO get in the enclosed area where his crops are

for grass it is best just to have it where rain can get it, its a waste of batterys to use the sprinkler when the rain does it for you. If you have a big enough area say 3x3 for one animal should be good enough for them and the rain. and for plants its less expensive to just quickly do it yourself. Ive saved time not making batterys or the effort it takes to charge them because you dont get the windmill charger till later and before that you have to use biofuel. Also use those burnt out batterys for your headlamps or things that require batterys they will be fully charged when you make the item. You can then use that prior charge for something else. Also if you just make dishes you can get tons of food points from those making the need for tons of food less. I rarely need to get things from my garden now with me just cooking meat that I just get from the storyline and useing dishes.

Will you make a new video about the story notes ?

Very nice tips, ty. I noticed you can put bird nests on the wall the other day, now they are everywhere on my Raft 😊. About the pipes, is there a way to lead them through a block vertically? I managed to lead a waterpipe through a regular ceiling but it keeps glitching out after a while.

well you taught me some new things.

LOVE TIS VID CANT WAIT FOR MORE LUV YOUR CONTENT!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT THE SIGMA

We call our Shark Sheila xD

Pretty good narrator, was surprised when I saw only 12k subscribers. You should spend some extra time dwelling in the newbie areas of trending games and making guides for them. I promise you would consistently get more subscribers as time goes on. Great features in these videos are; Explanations without too much delay, relevant video clips, quick references when made and clearly spoken English.

Does the shark aggro avoidance still work ? I tried it, but Jeremiah attacked as soon as he finished the shark bait near the raft.

Keep shark heads they can be used in the biofuel producer

You can use the shark head for bio fule

Did Jeremiah/Bruce used to attack interior foundations? In a previous update when I started playing I armored my perimeter and I swear he/she/they started going after the nets on the inside! So I stopped bothering and just kept replacing regular foundations since they are pretty cheap.

The number of times people try to tell me that the farm hut doesn't work would net me a million dollars if I was given a quarter for every one of them. It works, I've done it many times. Even online. Yet still you'll get someone saying it doesn't even while watching it work perfectly well. I suspect the reason is a leftover from early access when, I believe, there was a time that seagulls didn't care about things like walls and roofs.

The sprinkler thing didn't work for me. I tried it before because I wanted to be efficient. So I put one in front of a wall with 6 basic crop plots attached to it but the sprinkler did not water all of them. And its not the whole crop plot that is not watered but only one of the potatoes planted from each of the 6 crop plots did not get water. I know this because when I point the cursor to the plot (after the sprinkler activated) it still says that it needs water and I can see that two of the potatoes are wet but one of them is not. I thought that maybe putting them close together blocked the water so from then on I just spread them across the floor and tried to fit as many as I can in the 3x3 spot.

I couldn't get the floating floor trick to work today, did they fix this bug?

6:04 wait lit me see if I figured this one out. Is this a case the the shark is anchored to the raft and will not leave it unless following you? 6:53 ok should have waited and this is awesome to know

Sharkheads are good for Biofule.

Hey, i really like your content, i just started playing raft around 1 week ago and wanted to try the triangle floating floors glitch, but i couldnt place the triangles next to each other. Is the glitch patched already or am i doing something wrong? It just not possible to place this way in my world

The seagulls annoyed me at first...or, well, they are always annoying. But you can use that annoyance to your benefit. I actually want them to land on the crops. Seagulls are a good and easy (once you get the hang of it) resource - for both meat, and especially feathers. While traveling, not near islands, it is usually the same seagull or seagulls landing/messing with you're crops again and again, similar to the shark. So two or three hits with the spear, and they die. Yes, the spear. You could use the bow, but I at least don't waste arrows on them. So spear works fine :)

2:52, it wasn't supposedly. Seagulls used to eat my crops when they were inside, even in rooms without windows. T-T

The most important resources you have to harvest is sand and clay. Everything else can be bought from traders or found in things. Sand is needed for honey which makes biofuels. Clay for the bowls for infinite vegetable soup. Cluck clucks are the most important animals for the insane amount of biofuel they make. Goats are useless. Llamas are decent for their wool which makes a lot of recycling blocks for trading.

Hello did the shark eat the raft when is it protecting with shield

Newbie here. How long and wide should I make the raft?

Does the titanium hook change anything from the scrap hook besides the look and durability? Me and my dad have like no titanium so we havent made one

I just started raft, this is really usefull, it's a pity I have already played a while and I have no idea which are my 4 center pieces of the raft!!! anyway to understand that? also is there a way to turn the raft? because when you hit island the raft turns and then it's not going forward straight but it goes on it's side which is really annoying :D

Anyone know where the music at the end of the video comes from? It sounds super familiar and I just can't place it.

What’s the best way for farming simple resources like plastic and planks I always have shortages

Tip: If you have a taco, then find another taco. You will now have 2 tacos. Yum. I like tacos.

You can completely negate shark damage if you time your attack right. You just have to wait till it opens its mouth, swim backwards and then stab it. If you get it right and get used to it, you can practically ignore it, as i do.

The shark hunting the guy at the radio tower was named Bruce, by that other guy. Not the same shark. Our shark reconstitutes it's body in less than 5 minutes after we kill it and harvest it for meat!!!

Can you use the fish bait to keep Jeremiah still and lure him to an easy takedown? Like how you showed the fish bait in Part 3?

I wish you can move pipes under the raft

wth youtube is broken, u should have like a million subs

The shark is nothing. Swin towards the shark and as soon as it opens its mouth you hit it, once you learn it you just have to kill it every time you go to an island. Take 4 meat leaving its head behind. If you do this correctly it will dont do damage to you. Sry for my bad english.

lumberjack skin woot

The background music is so familiar but I cannot put my finger on where I know it from D:

I noticed different people have different names for the shark.

how does the receiver work to get you out of the first area. I keep going to the same islands. yeah all the stuff has reset but I'm not getting any where. what am i not doing to progress?

Was thinking of getting this, isn´t there a no-shark mode?

i cant get the triangle foundation trick to work :(

Can someone tell me how do i make my foundation floor on my raft look like hers? How to upgrade it? , is it a mod ? I can only find foundation armor. Or the upgrade unlocked later in the game?

5:50 Are you sure that's still true? I saw a comment elsewhere that looting (or not) no longer affects respawn timing at all. You might want to double check that the head trick still works.

is there a trick for getting pipes through floors? or are we stuck with dealing with holes in the floor? :(

1 high pillars cost 2 nails too since update 3, don't they?

What were to happen if you removed those 4 squares but still had a raft?

Fun fact! You can use shark heads to make bio-fuel instead of wasting more readily available food. ☺

i need an Spanish version of this

Day 31 of telling Ali we appreciate them and their content! :)

I just build a room around my farms

pipes go through walls. my life is infinitely better now.

Cool

yall calling the shark Bruce is fine, but its just not true, the shark that harassed the people at the radio tower was named Bruce by the people there, you can call the shark whatever the hell you want because when you kill it it is a new shark
