Making rafts

[TikiTony]

I'm still waiting for my account to be approved.. but I had a question in the meanwhile, how do you get objects to float, particularly once you tie them together? I'm having the hardest time recreating the starting raft from base game.

Me too I really need help with this all my rafts float like 6 inches under the water while i get eaten by sharks

Hey Tony,

I will take a look at it, but I think swimming is faster in most cases or the jump-swim technique where you hold UP and RIGHT, or UP and LEFT depending on what direction you're going.

For a fast escape, I highly recommend the airplane technique:

In this case you would jump out of the water, enter craft mode, and place a wooden box around yourself, then click and hold the box, exit craft mode, and drag your little guy to relative safety. As a word of warning, it's very unpredictable what will happen at a full screen change (i.e. when the screen goes black while a new screen is loading). For maximum safety when you reach the edge of a screen, exit the box (craft mode, click and drag box away from character, place it in inventory) before changing screens.

I hope this helps!

All The Best,

Well, Tony, I haven't figured it out yet, but I had a heck of a lot of fun trying. My apologies in advance for this ;-)

Alright Tony, that was a tall order!

This should get you started with floatable rafts:

It's basically a giant comb attached to a hull with semi-freely floating planks inside the comb.
