Is there a way to rotate the raft?

[Hypersapien]

I'm just coming back to the game after about a year and I noticed they have added a few updates. When I was playing before there was no way to rotate the raft around (at least before getting the engines) to make the most efficient use of the collector nets without moving them.

Did they ever add a way to rotate the raft? I'd think using the paddle would make the most sense. Stand at an edge of the raft and turn to the side and paddle in that direction.

Yes, I won't spoil it, someone else probably will, but it is a blueprint you pick up at a story island.

Did you see the bit in parentheses?

The only way to rotate a raft before acquiring an engine blueprint is paddle.

After you acquire an engine blueprint you may place equal amount of engines you required for your raft but vertical to your raft (assuming straight/face forward is horizontal)

And there's an even more advance way to rotate your raft, is acquire a control module (steering wheel) blueprint, and it will extend to any height til the bottom fin hits sea level.

How do you use the paddle to rotate the boat?

So far i know not possible in Vanilla until you have the steering wheel from the 2nd story island

you paddle the direction you want to turn? and you stand on the corner.

Ok, thanks. I hadn't tried that yet.

I mean its not effective, but it is what it is, helps more or less

[❃ Galiäna Krüger ❃]

It's like the question ask "What's effective against a shark in Raft?"

And there are answers to choose from
a) Wooden Spear
b) Reinforced Spear
c) Arrows
d) Reinforced Arrows (or whatever they called I forgot)

All of them are effective against a shark, but some deal greater damage than the others.

just use the sail to adjust the broadside direction (one may not work due to the tide so use the other side that works). Check the "wake" to make sure its lining up and adjust the saiil if needed. The islands and loot spawn in the direction the raft is travelling, so doesnt really matter which way youre heading unless its to a story island.

Tried it in Vanilla and had zero Success.
Do you maybe have a mod installed you forgot ?

Yeah, I tried it and it didn't work.

Without the presence of the steering wheel.

From the past,
armed with a paddle,
' brushing and colliding ' against world statics like the floating abandoned raft or protruding island sections to
create small angles of divergence, rotates the raft alignment while looking at the streamer,
carefully and gradually direct the Flag in the flow of the wind.
( Flag end pointing away from the player )

[Shame on you]

Well sure if you collide with Raft or island you can turn your raft.

But without this 30+ minute tactic (you first need a island or a raft you can use to turn your raft, and then you need to collide in the right angle and paddle maybe on top)
i see no vanilla way to turn your raft

If that happens too early i even prefer to restart the game intead of going through this hassle

I allready asked for implementing the "Turn your raft with the paddle" mod into the basis game. If you wish that too maybe open a thread in Suggestions or support a allready open thread. If so few moans no one cares

I just posted it there, and sent the same suggestion through their suggestions website. Even detailing exactly how it could work.
