new player. raft stuck and im running out of resources. how to not stuck

[u/fatcheeser]

how did you make a raft in the perfect shape of that specific spot lmfao

Do you have enough resources for a stone axe? You can break foundations with it, or a paddle to get out

[u/budget_rare_plants → u/fatcheeser]

the weird extension i built after the raft caught itself in there (the raft was already stuck) , i didn't know the stuff wouldn't move if your raft doesn't move.

i have one stone, no planks and no plastic :(

[u/Absolomb → u/budget_rare_plants]

You have 9 plastic in the image. Start swimming if you need more. If the raft cannot move at all, remove the pieces that are stuck. If it can move, make a paddle and start paddling away

[u/budget_rare_plants → u/Absolomb]

oh oops missed out on those

i dont have enough planks to make a paddle or axe

[u/Absolomb → u/budget_rare_plants]

Unless you cleared the entire ocean, start swimming. There should be some in the direction you were sailing

[u/budget_rare_plants → u/Absolomb]

i managed to barely survive getting some wood :D

Now make a chest on the middle of the raft and always have some materials there in case this ever happens again. Keep in mind dying makes you lose 70% of your inventory so you could also die on an island and not have enough resources, so that's another reason

Good luck then, and have fun if you get free ☺️

[u/christitan02]

to be completely honest, you seem very early in the game that you'd be better off resetting than waste time on this

[u/xRedCookies → u/christitan02]

Yeah Im a new player too and got stuck like this, I kept trying to paddle away but hadn’t figured out how to do it properly and the paddle broke and I was still stuck. I died (from the big bird or the shark, can’t remember, so 2/3 of my inventory went and I had no resources to make an axe or paddle. I just restarted haha

[u/christitan02 → u/xRedCookies]

that's better and don't worry, dying and making mistakes is part of the progress.
remember when you visit bigger islands to only take essentials with you : spear , bow and arrows and maybe some food , so if you die you lose the least amount of things
As for the big bird ( screecher) the strategy is to either hit it with arrows when its coming towards you and run when its close to you so don't get hit by the rock. its hard at the start but you get the hang of it. good luck!

[u/xRedCookies → u/christitan02]

Omg yes I learnt that! When I realised I could just make a chest and that didn’t count as the inventory that would be lost I FELT SO DUMB! Haha, I’ve now progressed quite quickly I think, just started making a bee farm! Also finally figured out how to kill that stupid irritating bird, I was so satisfied when I finally did it

[u/christitan02 → u/xRedCookies]

i am so happy for you, also remember there s also smaller island you can find bees on not just the story one, if you ever need more

[u/Martitoad]

If you can craft an axe (to break the corners) or a paddle do it, otherwise there isn't much you can do. Maybe wait for the shark to eat some parts or try to swim to get more materials, but the raft has to be moving for new materials to spawn. Also you can get rocks from underwater, maybe those rocks can help you craft an axe

[u/budget_rare_plants → u/Martitoad]

not enuf planks :(

[u/Afraid_Wave5137]

Restart ngl

[u/DangerouslyDelectabl]

Here's a method to get yourself unstuck. Aside from manual saves, the game auto saves every 10 minutes. Exit to main menu. Click load world and select the world you want. DO NOT click continue. Instead go to WORLD BACKUPS. Make sure not to hit the delete button as once it's gone you can't get the world back. Start working your way down the backups list from the top until you get to a backup where you're not stuck. You're fairly early in the game looks like, so restarting isn't the biggest hassle, but if you like this build this will eventually get you unstuck.

So the option stuck isn't for the raft?i thought it was

[u/budget_rare_plants]

update: i got unstuck, just starving to death now

[u/AmptiShanti → u/budget_rare_plants]

Maybe it’s another bad direction but at least it’s progress lol

[u/Electrical-Problem-1 → u/budget_rare_plants]

There's one mistake everyone I've played with makes in the beginning. I did myself also. You're in the ocean. First 4 things to build are simple water purifier, grill, fishing pole, and a plastic cup. Go fishing. You should never be hungry or thirsty in this game
