This game is impossible

[Zachshock]

you are starving and dehydrated every 5 minutes and when you respawn you spawn with nothing and hunger, thirst and health spawn to half instead of full

First survival game? Raft isn't even a hard survival game, just learn how to play and enjoy it. Call a friend to play at least.

It's very easy to run out of supplies early on the constant struggle is real. I suggest starting an easy game just to learn the ropes as all easy does is increase the time it takes for your hunger/thirst to diminish. It's 30min on easy and 18 on normal, that extra 12 minutes is a lifesaver. On top of that you don't lose inventory in easy.

Just take your time, be patient and accept that you might die a couple times. The game is a constant struggle to stay alive, alone on a homemade raft at sea but with enough experience it becomes much easier. If you played the forest then you will get the hang of it sooner rather than later. Just keep at it.

The thing to keep in mind about Raft is that it's not designed to be fun, it's designed to be a grind. You can't secure access to resources, but early resources come to you. You need to use advanced resources to secure your raft against attack, and there's no way to secure a food supply. Tools wear out laughably quickly and take forever to actually do their jobs. And because of all those delays, all those repetitive demands on your attention, you play Raft by falling into a rut where half your time is occupied by handling one crisis after another.

Eventually you get the tools to manage those crises, and those tools have their own management cycles. You've traded one set of problems for a new set.

The end result is a repetitive cycle that rewards monotony and caution, not creativity and risk taking. Having extra manpower is a huge game changer.

I recommend running on Peaceful mode and telling the game where it can shove its bad design. The shark adds nothing to the game other than an annoyance timer, the seagull is a half-broken mess, and the other creatures are about as interesting as punching through a wall of obsidian, but less rewarding to fight

Hi, i agree to OP for the first minutes in the game, but once you have set up your water and food supply it‘s kind of easy. Yeah the shark is kind of anoying, but on the other hand provides delicious shark steaks, similar is true for the seagulls.

7 days and minecraft yeah probably. but the forest is a rather good example. quite challenging in the right mode. green hell is a better example or that one game with comic graphics in the snow i can't think of the name right now..

Things can indeed get a little frantic at the beginning. You just gotta power through and - humble advice - research the collection nets as soon as possible.

[QuinTesa]

game is beautiful but loot spawning very little

[Pisaro]

How can you die by starving on normal difficulty? THAT is impossible for me o_0

In The Forest I've died many many times. Huge hordes of deadly cannibals attack you all the time, and you're constantly fighting dangerous mutants. Also when you're new to the game you'll probably make a lot of mistakes like eating poisonous berries and mushrooms.

In 7 Days to Die I've also died many many times. Huge hordes of zombies attack you all the time. You're dealing with hunger, thirst, disease and all sort of injuries. The world is incredibly dangerous and the only way to make progress is by visiting POI's that are riddled with aggressive zombies.

In Raft I've died twice.
Once when I wasn't watching my oxygen.
Once when I got into a fight with a bear.
Raft is very easy, relaxing, and forgiving.
