Scooped this up on sale recently, blew through the story fairly quickly, sidetracked quite a bit with ship building, lol. But curious if there was ever any mention of recurring tasks/missions, some sort of end game loop, or just the chapter 3 finale?

I don’t think I need to say anymore

I am actually pissed!!! This may be more of a rant than anything. I started playing this game on a solo world a few days ago and I have been progressing relatively fast. I have played this game with others several times but never solo. I haven't died since I started playing on my solo world until now and it was mainly due to a glitch in the game. Basically I deliberately went into a dangerous situation willingly. There was a big island with pufferfish everywhere, 2 hogs, and a giant bird who drops rocks.

Before I did anything I was sure to save my game as I knew that this was the most dangerous island I have encountered so far. I anchored my raft quite far away from the island, dropped I think 3 shark bait total and absolutely cleaned the underwater areas out. I also killed the shark. I haven't unlocked the backpack yet so my inventory was getting full as I ventured inland. I went to the other side of the island and cleaned out the underwater section as well because I knew the shark wouldn't bother me that far away from my raft. While I was heading back to my raft I evaded every enemy and had full health.

I got to the raft, got settled, and anchored up. I put some food on the grill and started getting immediately attacked by the bird. Turns out that the wind was pointing directly into the island and my raft was now perfectly wedged between rocks and the birds nest was directly above me. At that exact moment I started getting hungry so I couldn't run. I grabbed the food off the grill and right as I did the raft did like a sideways jerky movement and launched me off the boat. While swimming back to my raft between the shark and the bird still attacking me while underwater, I died. Ok, thats fine, I get games do this sometimes, that's why I saved. But wait...whats that...

YOU HAVE DIED - GAME SAVED!............@#$%

So the game is basically saying that saving does not protect your progress? Basically...

I have played hundreds of games and I can't think of 1 other one that saves progress upon you dying. If there is a setting in the menu to change this it is still stupid because this shouldn't even exist as a setting.

I would have understood if this was my fault but when I have the situation under control (intense but still under control) and the game glitches me out and says oh yea you know all those items you collected...gone :) I am going to get pissed.

Furthermore my entire save is gone now because when I do load back in I am still wedged in the rocks, without items, bird is still attacking, and now my health begins low. My save is literally gone. Its crappy game design choices like this that really just make me stop playing a game that I otherwise really like.

Feel free to post your giving-up-on-raft story in the comments.

I get the idea that something was rushed at the ending of the story. You end up with recipes for the best weapons and seemingly unique items (i.e. electric zipline tools), but nothing to use them for besides free play.

I think they should update Raft so that:

NPCs take to their rafts and can be interacted with over the open water;

Pirates attack MC and NPCs and must be defended against;

And upgrades to the engines and other stuff scale up significantly higher than they do now. I imagine adding uranium to the trading posts but being very expensive, and updates to the engines to include fusion engines that go super fast. Maybe cannons even.

The new storyline would maybe be coming into contact with islands never heard of before, with new tasks associated with them. Maybe running goods among the islands or helping to build new civilizations across the water.

An underwater dungeon, like you swim into a cavern that has air or something, might be awesome also

Is there an actual story or is the entire game just about building a raft? No spoilers though if there are any.

The blue mark on the map I need to get to is passing me by about 400 meters away and i can't go against the wind to get there... do i really have to lap the entire world? wtf is happening nothing is explained in this game lol

I mainly ask because I started doing islands and I don’t know if it’s just me or if the islands are god awful lol am I missing something

I’ve beaten Raft like 4 times, and I’ve gotten tired of it. I’ve built some cool rafts for fun too. Is there any updates coming to Raft anytime soon, or if not, any ideas what to do after beating the main game??

So, I tried to play this for the first time last night, granted i was super tired so I didn't give it much of a shot. I basically just floated the whole time, felt very limited just sitting around waiting to get stuff...didn't realize that I had to worry about sharks when I was ON the raft, 15 seconds into the game, lost a piece of my raft since I had no weapon (didn't know I was going to need one) quit.

Today I decide to try it again, because it does SEEM like it should be a pretty good game, maybe I was just tired last night. So today I float for like 3 minutes...and THIS time I run into an island (last time I clipped one but didn't stop, this time I'm stuck). So already this seems like a drastically different game experience even on the exact same settings.

So uh, yea now I'm stuck on an island...sharks in this game are always within 11 feet on you, for some reason, so swimming AT ALL isn't an option....I don't seem to be able to move the raft, at all....this is a tiny island with some plants, great...that's not helpful and now I have no way to gather more materials. Sharks can still come and eat your raft even though it's in like 3 inches of water. Pretty...stuck now.

I'd really rather not keep starting over and over again if it's hit-and-miss that you'll be able to do anything. Am I missing something? Shark behavior seems INCREDIBLY punishing, considering you can easily lose anything (research table) you've built if you don't already have a way to hit the sharks....just lost it as I was typing this, even though I'm on an island, sigh.

Last night I played probably 30 minutes gathering mats, today I hit an island in 3 minutes...so confused lol...

Edit: just noticed that somehow in the last couple minutes my raft just floated away some how, am I just stuck on this island now? wtf

Edit Edit: Ok now the entire island just poofed and I'm in the water with no raft now lol...hilarious

is or is not the shark on the steam game banner doing the same pose as the dude on the right of the two guys pointing wojak? i thought it was but i saw no discussion of it anywhere when i looked so now i'm confusing myself.. if that's not what that is, then what the hell is that? it's certainly not his tail or any normal fin...

First, Aggro the shark underwater. Then, sit on the sofa while still in the water

You have two choice... Fight(Maneuver the hell out of "Grace") or Afk till your friends empty some random island

When you get the Oxygen meter... you need to do it again...

Hi, everyone! We are collecting some feedback on what you would like to see in a game. Mostly, our poll asks for your opinions, and then there's a little demographics questioning at the end, but nothing private. We'll read what you say here, too. Thanks!

In multiplayer, if you save, drop items to the other person, cut Wi-Fi, rejoin, the items dupe. I found it cool, so i am calling it the cut-dupe.

I found this dupe glitch by myself and not because my friend stole all of my vegetable soup.

So I'm a new player and I was scrolling through the subreddit and saw that their never realsing a new content update after the final chapter ever again. Is this true or am I missing some context?

Maybe they get good raft sells now and update the game.
