Raft – Thirst and Hunger
Soon after starting your game, you will see that you have something more than the shark to worry about: dehydration and starvation. On the bottom left corner, you can see 3 bars. The Thirst goes down faster than the Hunger bar. How fast they deplete depends on your Game Mode. The first square is easier to fill but once you’re in it, you will start moving really slowly, making it impossible to dodge attacks. Once completely empty, your life bar will slowly start to deplete itself.
You’re going to need to find a way to drink and eat if you want to survive.
Press [Tab] to open the Craft Window.
Thirst: Build a simple purifier. It needs planks to work, when you get next to it, it will give you the option to add planks ( if you have some in your inventory, and if the purifier is not already full ). Then craft a Cup [ Plastic(4) ]. Go to the sea and equip your cup, [Left Click] to fill your cup then go to the purifier: there will be an option to fill the purifier. Do so and wait for a while… the water will go from the blue container to the purple one. Equip your cup again, go next to the purifier and use the option to fill it, then [Left Click] to drink what’s in it.
/!\ If you use [Right Click] when your cup is full, it will empty it.
You can later craft an Advanced Purifier which can make a lot more drinkable water at the same time and without using any plank.
Hunger: Build a simple grill. It also needs planks to work. You will get potatoes and beets in barrels, you can start by cooking them, that way they will fill more efficiently your hunger bar. Then you can craft a Fishing Rod, with it you can catch fish and put them on the grill.
You can only cook small fish and plants on the simple grill.
The food will always change aspect when cooked and fill more efficiently your hunger bar. Fish will make you thirsty if you eat it without previously cooking it.
You can later craft an Advanced Grill which can cook bigger fish ( 1 Big Fish or 3 Small Fishes at the same time ).
You can even later craft a CookingPot which can mix many different things to make a nice meal.
