Building giant house boats...on a raft?

[AstroZombie]

I keep seeing pictures of people sailing around on these huge houseboats (All kinds of foundations, ramps, etc) built on their raft. One guy even had a ton of dinos in one. Can you do this on official servers? I ask since I had a few foundations on a raft and it wouldn't budge..

I hope the devs add other variations of the raft, particularly ones that are big enough to transport large dinos without looking stupid.

Could you explain this a little more? Half the time I do this it says "Foundation Obstructed." But I've done exactly what you said... I think there's a little trick to this, but I can't figure it out consistently.

Yes, you can build up to a certain point on the raft. Place foundations, add pillars, put ceilings on the pillars and then that will be the floor you can build up from. But keep in mind you're limited to something like 75 objects that you can place on the raft.

I have a nice little stone house raft with a smithy, stove, cabinets, lighting, etc. I use it for trips into the winter biome.

Place 3x3 foudation (9 foundations) on your raft. You can then attach ceilings each direction verically horizontally two foundation lengths. This will be your base foundation.

On official servers you can't build what you seen on pictures because there is an cap of 60 objects on raft so you're very limited .

How hard is it to check the wiki instead of giving out wrong info?

It is 88 units. 88 different structures on a raft. I have a 3x3 cube with a vault on it 4 tiles high and a dino door with 5 turrets, grill, fab, mortar,fridge,smithy,forge, 2 beds, a ramp and still have room for 4 more structures which I will be placing 2 turrets underwater.

THere is JUST enough room inside to fit an argy, ank, deod, and frog inside and still be able to drive it.

One thing I've noticed, is that it somewhat depends on the material.
Eg. Thatch usually doesn't work, but stone works quite well.

I used to build rafts with this trick too, but it looks like it does not work anymore, does it ?
