Raft · Decisions & Builds. Browse Raft Engines and Navigation Guide: Sails vs Engines, Receivers, Antennas, and Sailing Between Islands, Raft Weapons, Armor and Tools Progression Guide: What to Upgrade First, and What to Skip, Raft Building and Layout Guide: Foundations, Floors, Walls, Nets, and Expansion That Saves Time and Resources, with requirements, routes and walkthrough steps.
Raft navigation runs in three stages: a free but wind-limited sail, a receiver with three antennas and a battery that turns drifting into coded travel, and engines from the Vasagatan that push against the current. This guide covers sail limits, receiver placement and four-digit codes, the engine recipe and the 100-foundation rule, plank versus biofuel, and efficient island-to-island sailing.
Raft has no builds to pick, only an order to follow: wooden spear first, then scrap hook and axe, then metal spear and bow, then leather armor and machete from Balboa, then net launcher and diving gear, then titanium weapons from Utopia. This guide gives the damage ladder, recipes, and priority route, including what to skip and what the titanium sword durability debate means.
Raft rewards compact, tall building: a small footprint is cheaper to armor, easier to defend, and leaves room to grow upward toward island-top chests. This guide covers foundations, floors, walls, net placement on the leading edge, outer-ring shark armor, and a zone layout that keeps workshop, kitchen, and helm within short walks.
