Raft
Awanak Jul 25, 2021 @ 5:25pm
Some "exploit" that I wonder if it is intended.
I was wondering if it was planned that when you construct a 2nd/3rd/etc floor with only half floor, when you remove the pillar the whole thing stay floating. It allow the creation of gigantic flying structure which are not considered in the number of square your boat is occupying. This way you can have an enormous boat with only 1 engine because the 1st floor is only like 10 square. Will it be fixed one day or is it meant to be?

Yes, this is known, and it's even publicly available on the Raft Discord, complete with instructions. (Seriously, the devs know about this)

Are you really kidding dude !!!

Are you aware of that we really need to place down two wall and 1 pillar every fourth tile when we build in storeys and do you know how ugly that looks when we have pillar everyplace !!!

If we gonna build a tiny - tiny building with storeys 8 x 2 then we need to use 2 walls and 3 pillar which is an very - very bigg issue where Raft is a building game and where we are forced to use pillar and walls everyplace.

What this game needs is horizontal support beam and this way we all can get rid of all these ugly pillar we need to place down everyplace .

My guess is that you have never every build anything on Raft and because of that you do not have a smallest clue what you just talking about and if you have done that then you have instead ask for "Horizontale Support Beam".

Do you even have the game Raft !!!

Ok, 2 things. First, calm down a bit. Not sure where that anger is coming from. Second, there are a couple bugs that allow you to break that rule in this game, one involving triangular floors, and one involving lanterns. I haven't used them myself, but I've seen the descriptions on how it's done in a few different places. Op simply stumbled on a bug that allows building rafts that defy the game's physics.
^ You mean defy physics in general. I have found all powerful floating seagull.

Sorry, I'm just a weird person who like realistic game, I was shocked when I saw a friend showing me it's enormous gravity defying boat running on only 1 engine while mine had to run on 4 engine and a real pain to make "Enjoyable to move around in". (Not saying he didnt have to work for making his gigantic floating complex)

I don't think ceilings/floors contribute to what an engine can push, only foundations.

This game isn't competitive. It's either single-player or co-op. Exploits like this do zero damage to the game, because we can choose not to use them, and if people DO use them, that's fine. They can make their own choices.

This game is not realistic. Not any game is. Stop it.

Do you mean all these super seagull who is able to fly through every wall we build and grab whatever flower or potatp or beets we plant out , i wonder if they are able to lookpick all of my storage chests !

I am not angry dude just to clear that out :)

This have always been annoying issue where we is forced to place pillar everyplace and the developer never did do anything about it and that is frustrating because this game here is all about building an amazing raft and that we can`t because of all these damn pillar who destroy everything as even a small tiny room.

Here is an example where i try to build a small boat on creative where i just give up because of all these pillars who destroy everything for me and it looks ugly as H...... :

Of course the developer knows about that new glitch with triangular floor/foundation and i hope they never ever patch it because now we are able to build our dream raft without all these damn pillar everyplace either we use 1 engine or 10.

The amount of engine we choose to build is not what this game is about but what this game is about is to build out our raft forever on the journey through the main story where we is able to explore and find even better stuff to add to ours raft.

Seriously dude do you really think the developer make it or did made it this way by purpose when they add triangular floor/foundation and foundation/floor to the game !

If they did make this mechanics by purpose then i wanna say they did it in a phenomenal way something that is really ingenious :)
