Engines are absurd.

[[NTOG] Rave]

I have a very modest 17x17 raft. Nothing fancy but it equals 289 foundations. I cant even ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ FIT three engines in the space unless I build upwards, which would mean uprooting my entire design.

100 foundations is a PAULTRY number. Ridiculously small considering the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ SIZE of just the engine.

And you CANNOT justify by saying its a "weight" issue because I can build near infinitly UPWARDS with THOUSANDS of pounds of weight with various walls and smelters and storage and whatnot, on a 100 foundation small ass platform raft, and go brrrr just fine.

The engines need to be upped to AT THE VERY MINIMUM of 200 per engine.

Absurd limitation.

Its also '' absurd '' with only 38 foundation in my latest playthru,
managed to fit in 3 engines (2 to forward,1 for sideway),
together with multiples of all other advanced installation, devices, cooktable and sail and work area on foundation level.

To be adapting and contented.
Maybe work on your space effectiveness and redundant foundation usage.

all i do is "adapt & rebuild". for me, its the best part of the game.
with 289 foundations i could fit 10 of everything.
the idea is to plan ahead for engines, auto-water filter and piping.
then keep that space available for when you need it.
and if you build "UP" properly....you can have 300+ size rafts and STILL use LESS than 100 foundations...and then use only ONE engine.

edit: i find it amusing also, that you can play games for OVER 1100hrs and THEN give it a bad review.
im sensing youre a "glass half empty" type.

I mean, I do think the engine limitation is a bit silly, but, I don't even know how big my raft is, have to use 3 engines just to go straight, and have no problem fitting everything else somewhere or another without it being an issue or feeling cramped (obviously opinions though). Maybe your preferences (floor mounted farms vs wall mounted farms etc) just happen to take up more space than you'd like. compromises gotta be made somewhere, this is a pretty easy game realistically. I mean try cutting off the corners of the raft? maybe just make the engines jut out the side? rip symmetry? i unno, lol

Lmao how do you play this game for so long but be so bad at it

I agree the engines need a look at. There is little return on the investment of resources to keep them going when a single tiny sail, or one man with a paddle, can move a 1,000 foundation raft with no issue, but you need multiple engines to accomplish the same!

The only thing that is absurd here is your entire post. Your design didn't work out, learn to build better, end of story. Git gud.

Yeah but then you took the time to respond to his post, feeling superior, on one of the easiest survival games I have personally ever played.

I'm running 4 engines in my raft and I do just fine. It's still stupid though because I can paddle it with what looks like a children's sand shovel for the beach. So maybe you should learn to critically think and cut back on the Doritos and Mountain Dew because they're getting to your head.
