Raft possible glitches?

[ArchibaldRox]

Hi, I'm really confused about 2 things in this game. When I throw my hook and it lands on the raft, it lays on the ground. But while it's there I can't do anything but move and pick up trash that gets near enough, and I can't pick up the hook. Is there possibly something I'm missing?

Next question is a small one, but when I get off of my raft, I can't get back on? idk. can someone help please?

hold to discharge hook further, the longer you hold the further you throw (also if you aim 45 degree up then look to the ocean following where the hook is throw the furthest)

Raft, hence its name, is survival on raft - not on island. Island is just one way of getting resources and explore story content. You need to expand your starting raft to whatever you like also do not destroy original raft otherwise you will have trouble finding drifting debris as the debris patch are designed to go through center tile of said raft

Thank you, I was not talking about throwing it too short, I know not to do that, but I was talking about when I maybe accidentally hit the throw button, it gets stuck on the raft. I'm also not talking about islands, when I get into the water I'm not able to get back on the raft or islands.

I think you can reel in your hook by just holding down the relevant button for long enough, though there is no animation telling you that you are picking it back up. Otherwise, jump into the water, by doing so, it resets the hook to your hand automatically.

When in the water close to the raft, move forward and press the jump button - it propels you up above the waterline some ways and with some force. It can be tricky to get on the raft if it is floating away form you, especially with the engine(s) turned on, or if you have built structures that can be in the way, where you attempt to jump back up on your raft.

For the hook, I think you right-click to solve it. If not, then either hold left-click or switch items. I might be unsure of the key but I know I insta-solve it when it happens just by reaction, so it should be one of those.

For getting back on raft, what's the issue? Jumping while you're on the water's surface will make you jump, and then you return. Maybe try enabling "Motion Sickness" option if the waves are interfering with your jumps.

Thank you!

There's also a bug that occasionally occurs once you join a game. If you charge and it just drop straight down, move the hook into another slot of your hot bar.

Yeah I have encountered both problems when I played. For the hook landing on your raft, right-clicking will reset the hook back into your hand. It's also helpful for when you want to redo a bad toss for salvage on the sea too!

For the second issue of getting back on the raft, not completely sure what it can be. In my experience, when I try to get back I just don't despite getting some height in my approach. Could be that since the raft rocks sometimes, the side of your raft just collides with your character and stops you from getting up. Hope this helps!
