Waves flood my raft

[ksi001]

Waves have been washing over my raft, this does not cause damage but is quite annoying after a while. is this a bug?

I realised that too. But I'm pretty sure it connected with the size of raft.
When I have a small one ... it's better.

It isn't so much a bug, as it is a result of basic physics.

If you have a boat, or in this case a raft, that is longer than the typical size of a wave, instead of riding up and over, most of the raft will plow through it.

Just like in real life, the pitch of the craft in the water is averaged out over its length. When averaging out how the craft lays in the water when a tall and relatively narrow wave hits, the wave will crash over (or in Raft, through) the craft, and only raise the ship just a little bit.

I've pretty much built around this with my raft, having the bottom deck be neat empty and everything else on the upper floor, and I don't see that effect very often. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1413143758
