ValheimRAFT v2.4.1 by zolantris

[dnelson135]

Anyone use this mod since it has updated? I put in my initial water vehicle piece and it starts out a few inches underwater and it only gets worse as I add pieces. Any known remedy?

I'm using v2.2.5 I downloaded it on Nov.2nd
I am not having any issues.
Are you using the raft base or the water vehicle?
I would suggest you check all of your settings in your Configuration Manager, that said, make sure that your Configuration Manager is also up to date.
If you still are having issues, try to get v2.2.5 because i'm not having troubles with this version.

Help My Raft Is Sinking When I Build Hulls
1. Please read the guide on Vehicle Hulls? Each Hull affects the floatation of the vehicle.
2. Select the correct config and add or remove a piece to see the ship update based on the
new config value.

I use r2modman to manage my mods. It updated this mod today and the above version in my post is the one it updated to. Prior to this update, I could not get the mod to work since Valheim's last big update.

I am using the Water Vehicle and attaching parts to that piece. I was not aware that the raft could be or should be used?

Prior this Valheim's last patch, I had made probably an overly large ship as I had intended to use it as a mobile base and I had problems as the ship just kept sinking lower and lower so this time after the update got this mod working again, I tried a very small ship. That is when I noted the Water Vehicle started with roughly ankle deep water when it was just by itself in the water. All of the mod settings are set to the default settings.

Should I be using the original game raft pieces to build on?

This is the single water vehicle piece with me and the steering wheel on it. As you can see it is quite a bit underwater.

No. I would use the water vehicle.
I don't use a mod manager, but there is a configuration manager .ddl (mod) that enables you to set configurations on almost all of your mods by pressing F1 in game. If you dont have Configuration Manager, I suggest you download it, and add it to your mod list. Then you can look at the configurations to floatation and weight and stuff.

Couple of my mobile bases.

I was just looking at the configuration manager while in game, and it has a setting to adjust height of raft floor. Unfortunately, with the config manager active, I am unable to take a screenshot to show you.

[dnelson135]

Which setting is that? The only one I saw adjusted the height of the water vehicle when it is in a build mode that places the entire boat above the water so you can build without the motion of the waves.

[dnelson135]

I've tried to build a multilevel ship. By the time I was finishing my first floor, I could not touch bottom in the belly of the ship. By the time I finished my second floor, the deck of the ship would occasionally be submerged in higher seas and by the finish of the 3rd floor, the entire deck was knee deep.

[SyxtySyx]

I think I was looking at initial floor height, but I think it is under Depreciated config section, and it only applied to the v1 raft base.
I'm not really sure what is going on with v2.4.1 Like I said, I have v2.2.5 and it works with the current game version with no sinking issue.

[SyxtySyx]

Are you running any other ship mods? Mods that add stuff to vanilla ships and such may interfere with the ValheimRaft mod.
May I suggest you read all of the FAQ in the readme on the download site for the version that you are running. You may just have a mod conflict.
Does your BepInEx log throw any red errors when loading?

[dnelson135]

This is my mod list. I was having this 'sinking' issue prior to the last patch, but it has gotten 10-20% worse in this current iteration.

There are some red lines and all of them appear to be with the raft mod. That said, this issue was happening prior to the update when I had no red lines.
