How do i find the radio tower

[truesquid]

i am going a direction which is towards the radio tower and then it starts showing im going farther away from it no matter what direction i go what do i do is there any commands to get there with my raft or nothing? do i just have to stick to 1 direction and not change it? please help me for example i just got to 825 away and i let it keep going and then it starts going up what do i do? nevermind i seem to be getting closer and closer by the second i think i figured out how to get to it

You'll think you're driving forwards, then check 10 mins later and it's off to your left or right.. and have to correct it, the easiest way is to craft lots of paddles, then just row towards it.

he dose not know how to set up the receiver

It sounds like he has set it up, just is figuring out how to navigate towards the target. Alot of people align the radar to the side, then think they're facing in the right direction relative to it.

chances are the wind might be blowing in a different direction. where were you in terms of story progress?

The wind never changes direction. Your raft might get turned around if it bumps into something though so it might look that way.

Radio Tower (and other story locations) should show as blue dot on the radar if you have set the 4 digit numeric code for it in the receiver. Green dots in the radar are Large Islands.

It's possible that you've passed the Radio Tower and it's now against the wind (sail can't take you backwards, only slow down forward movement) and you'd need paddles to reach it. If that's the case, you can simply let your raft float forward for some time and new radio tower should eventually spawn, hopefully in a direction you can reach.

well whenever i go towards any direction it always add numbers to the thing unless i missed a direction

As I said, it's possible it's in the opposite direction of the wind. With the sail you can only go 90 degrees to the left or right of the direction wind is blowing to. Sail can't move your raft back the way you came from, only slow forward momentum. To move backwards, you either needs paddles or engines that you get from later story location.

If you can't get current Radio Tower, you can simply let your raft float freely forward awhile and new Radio Tower will eventually spawn, hopefully in direction you can get to.

Mostly from turning full sets of trading cards into badges. I currently have 263 badges of various badge levels.

The number on the screen is the distance. If you think of it as a big clock.. and on the clock the blue target is say at 2pm, now imagine the same big clock on the ocean, with you at the centre pointing forwards, forwards being the direction the wind is flowing and your raft likely is. which puts your target off to your right. With a sail you can turn it to the right and will drift generally towards it. Then when you see the tower, paddle to it. Similarly with the other targets you will get.

If you need help, just invite one of us to be a friend and we can jump into your game and explain it or show you.

As for badges I never bother with those, I don't care what my steam level is.. or what getting more does. Doing this stuff just makes you a lackey for steam.. I like to jump through my own hoops. I've been on steam since it's inception and it still gets my years of service wrong.

As anon says, if your target is behind you.. you can just wait for a new one to appear. Not sure how that works, if the number updates in your journal or if you need to save/reload etc.
