A raft is a very heavy boat (80 lbs). It is craftable by the player character. If available, the use of a punt is preferred to the raft, but the raft is a good basic watercraft.
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
- 3 pieces tying equipment
Using a raft
You can use a sesta (or shovel) to push your raft, but only a paddle can traverse deeper water. To use the raft, equip either a paddle or a sesta. A shovel works for this as well. 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 upack/drop raft over items or pick up a raft with items on it, as this will delete the items. (bug?)
Carrying capacity
Rafts can be used to transport heavy materials such as logs along 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.
Due to a bug, all watercraft in version 3.16 could hold an infinite amount of items, but this has since been remedied to the following default stats: A punt can't carry more than 6000 pounds (since at least ver. 3.17). A raft holds up to 15 800 pounds (since at least ver. 3.18).
One player playing ver. 3.18 noted: "My Raft held up to 15 800 lbs and moved, at 15 820 lbs, it would not (note I was carrying 308lbs)." This seems to confirm an upper limit of 15 800 pounds.
Either way, the carrying capacity of both watercraft types is still high enough to make the carrying of items back from a raid or woodcutting trip much easier.
