Raft – Gathering Materials
Gathering Materials
At the beginning : You start with a Hook, use it to grab everything that’s floating in the water. [Left Click] to throw the hook, hold [Left Click] to bring back your Hook, [Right Click] to cancel your throw (that way if you’ve missed, you don’t need to wait for your Hook to come back to you… doesn’t work if you’ve caught something). You can grab several things with the same throw. You can still move when your hook is in the water, which makes it possible to control a little where your hook is going. If something gets close to your raft, you can pick it up without using your hook.
Everything is important but you should keep an eye out for barrels. They are extremely useful in the beginning because they can hold Scraps which are hard to get at first.
From times to times, you will see small rafts appearing in the distance.
Try to swim to the rafts and climb to the top to get the crate which can hold lots of really useful and hard to come by ( for now ) materials. You’ll have to act fast, because the shark will be tempted to follow you… The moment you walk on the raft, it will start to slowly sink.
After : You will naturally come by small islands, there are many things to gather on them ( wood, food, flowers… ) but don’t forget what’s underwater, around the island. There are many materials like iron/copper ores, seaweeds, scraps, sand and clay… Some can be harvested with a Hook, others can just be picked up.
Even more after : You can use a receiver to find large islands which hold exclusive materials and tamable animals.
