13 Types of Raft Builders

With such a freestyle game, there's a lot of ways to build up a boat that suits your needs. Are you a grinder, a magician, or somewhere inbetween?

I'm an architect hoarder. Priority 1 is to make all the necessities and have them look good. Priority 2 is to get all this junk out of my inventory to make room for more junk. Everything with a potential use goes in a chest or gets turned into something else. All loose items must go somewhere, even if just the trash. If I commit to grabbing it, I commit to keeping it, even if I have to go across Balboa for that birch seed I dropped.

Raft needs to have a function where we can join a server and players can build separate rafts, and possibly meet each other on the sea.

Oh my goodness, I didn't know rafts could become this complex.
Alright, this video has done it, I am buying this game.

I'm convinced the raft community is the last non-toxic community purely dedicated to one game left

I built the Black Pearl with 3 floors the deck (has the captains cabin, steering, and navigation) The lower floor (has the animals, storage, crops, bio fuel makers, spare beds, and smelters) and the lowest floor (has bunch of engines, electric purifiers, fuel storage, collectors, and water storage)

The hoarder looks so satisfying. I don’t even play this game and I know that’s who I’d be

I'm the hoarder collector type lol.. The whole back of my ship is wall to wall chests full of 'needed' goodies and most of my ground floor is loaded with nets, 1 row down each side and a row of 5 nets facing forwards.. Plus my ship is as wide as the debris field and about 10 or more times longer lol.. It takes 10 engines to power it with the amount of foundations I have. I only need to 'clean' the nets out every 2nd or 3rd island lol.. I'm glad i'm not the only one with this problem (psychosis lol)...

Currently I'm at the beginner and I feel like I'm too focused on keeping my food and water meters up to focus on literally anything else; flailing around, trying to figure out how everything works like how wet bricks can be placed out to dry (which took me way too long to figure out).

But my endgame? My end game is to become the overkill. A fully automated raft that handles all of my survival needs for me so I can focus more on beating the story and getting some of that sweet decorating done, I wanna turn my raft into a mansion on water come hell or...well you get the idea.

For me, efficiency is key, any second spent looking for things or any piece of trash not collected annoys me irrationally.

At the moment, 25 hours into my first playthrough, I'm the "organic-slap it down wherever it fits-screw it that's where it lives now" kind of builder. I've almost finished with Tangaroa and plan on having a refit before I leave.

[snoozebutton]

I'm absolutely the architect/interior/decorator type. I love games that let me be build and decorate.

[thomaslau]

Definitely a combination of architect and realist. Restarted the game to experience everything from the beginning and I finally finished the core layout of the ship foundation. Now to build upwards and make my place "actually livable".

[Sevarien]

I'm definitely the overkill builder. I'm always thinking about my endgame and how to have a big enough raft for everything I could possibly need and more as well as make it aesthetically pleasing.

[anotheruserism]

I was hoarding on one raft. I told a friend he could build me a new raft however he liked. He was thrilled and blown away by the resources. So he put a lot of thought into it and built a fantastic raft. his wife then painted it with the 9000 lots of paint I had!

[commanderbeast]

I just wanted to be King of the Pirates. As long as my raft resembled a Pirate Ship, I'd be happy.

[bluemaster]

I'm a utilitarian, so I often forgo making things look good if they don't need to. Though, sometimes Raft changes that to where I design fully decorated rooms and porches of sorts. Not all the time though, some of them are still very ugly, due to the fact that I also fit the "magician" type because if the floors fly then Bruce can't break them. The actual raft touching the sea may be like 50 foundations at most, including the engine space made once I remember that i once again forgot that I needed engines. It's armored on the outside and has everything requires foundations specifically. I also hoard, which leads to an area for much needed storage, which gets mostly emptied every time I start doing something.

[iotaplayedagame]

I guess I'm fully in for Overkill - I've built and rebuilt just one raft since Chapter 2. 50+ animals with massive water and biofeedback distribution, 740 tiles, 3 stories tall, doubles or quadruples of all equipment. Sometimes I debate starting a new game, but then I remember I have to paint the raft first!

Lets game it out : well my raft is just nightmare fuel that i can share to everyone
