Can't attach completed Motor!
No matter how I try, the motor won't attach to my raft. Most of the time it causes the raft to fling up in the air and ends up upside-down.
I can't seem to locate the attachment point for the motor.
The sail attaches flawlessly. (I AM greatful for that!)
Any suggestions would be helpful.

i had the same problem.. i don't think there's any ways to avoid that..
just jump on top of the raft and get close to the edge while keep clicking...
that's how i attached mine...

Do you get a message when trying to attach the motor?
You can not place the motor too close to the sail! ;-)

Motors can attach to the front and rear of raft floors (not bases!). The raft ghost shouldnt collide with any rafts at all. There is a small problem with them colliding with materials at the moment, but not other rafts...

Spent about 30 minutes on a custom map just trying out the motor boat (never fully built one).
4 rafts later and i manage to speed click a motor on. The other 3 got launch into space. Think i'll stick to tarp sails for now lol

Yea, I'm having the same problem. Can't get the motor to attach. It says it's too close to another structure, or object... I don't recall the error verbatim. I've only tried this with wooden stick bases, and wooden plank floors. I'm thinking it's something to do with the size of the sprites/hit-zones

when i switch off the engine the raft goes upside down and i can't flip it over in any way...
i tried with different shapes but it dosen't make any difference..
did anybody experienced that?
if yes... how did you flipped the raft?

Just died trying and lost about an hour........ Should have made that save. Easy to kill yourself trying to build a raft.

When you hold the left mouse button, it doesn't flip over?

nope.. it is a 3 unit large raft... so quiet stable..

i even tried to hit it from underneath (like a shark attack) no luck though!

Use right-click mouse to hold and flip raft. It is not that hard.

Try to use the physics, use something that collides with it, drag it to land.
