A raft is a very heavy (1200 lbs) watercraft. If available, the use of a much lighter punt is preferred to a raft, but unlike a punt, rafts are player-craftable and require only commonly available materials and a low amount of labor to produce. Because of its weight, it cannot be picked up and carried, only pushed or hauled tile-by-tile. This effectively confines a raft to a single body of water; relocating it to another site is possible, but very impractical, as it will virtually always be easier to simply craft another raft at the other site using locally sourced materials.
The raft can be utilised for travel over bodies of water (for exploration, longer-distance travel on hunting/fishing/trade trips, or the hauling of materials and supplies), as well as for fishing (by placing fishing nets from a raft into deeper fishing waters, and visiting the nets regularly).
Requirements
The raft can be manufactured from the following combination of materials:
- 3 tree trunks
- 10 feet rope
Using a raft
You can use a sesta to push your raft, but only a paddle can traverse deeper water. To use the raft, equip either a paddle or a sesta. With one of these items equipped, step onto the raft and move into a water square.
Note: The raft should be on a land square when you first step on to it.
Watercraft cannot land on land which is already occupied by an item. It can be helpful to make use of the [;] key, which allows you to pickup items adjacent (including diagonal) to your current location, thereby clearing the desired landing. Furthermore, by doing this you can avoid having to step off your watercraft when grabbing items up to two spaces away. This can be especially useful for collecting stones, food from cellars, etc.
The contents of a watercraft are listed when stepping onto one which is visible, possibly requiring several presses of the spacebar upon every boarding. This can be avoided by facing away from the watercraft and backing onto it.
Do not unpack/drop a raft over items, as this will delete the items. (bug?)
Carrying capacity
Rafts can be used to transport heavy materials such as logs over water. Though possessing great weight capacity, a raft can only hold at most 40 stacks of non-corpse items plus any amount of corpses up to the weight limit.
As of version 3.63, a raft can carry dozens of logs/tree trunks, totaling over 30000+ lbs in weight.
