Gameplay Basics
Game Modes / Gathering / Needs
.
Creative Mode : This mode is just to create the raft of your dreams without having to gather any material. Everything can be crafted for free. You can grow plants and spawn domesticated animals, even the rare ones. The raft won’t move and the shark will swim around but not attack you. You won’t get thirsty nor hungry. Achievements don’t work in Creative Mode.
Peaceful Mode : It’s pretty much Easy Mode except here nothing will attack you. Shark and Puffer-Fish won’t even defend themselves, Warthog and Screecher will attack you once in retaliation, Lurker will start attacking normally in retaliation. The Screecher is really really hard to hit because usually you wait for it to attack you to be able to hit it and here it will not attack… Same for the shark who keeps swimming really fast and you kinda have to continually swim after him to hope to hit him a few times.
Easy Mode : When you die, you respawn will all of your inventory. It takes 5 hits from a shark to die. Shark attacks every ~8mins. ~25mins to lose a whole thirst bar. ~31mins for hunger. Damage is divided by 1.5 compared to Normal Mode.
Normal Mode : When you die, you can respawn by yourself but you will lose all of your inventory. You can be saved by a friend to keep what you’re holding ( he needs to put you in a bed ). It takes 3 hits from a shark to die. Shark attacks every ~6mins. ~15mins to lose a whole thirst bar. ~18mins for hunger.
Hard Mode : When you die, you can’t respawn by yourself. You absolutely need a friend to put you in a bed when you die to save you. So basically, if you’re playing alone : dying = game over. You can also be surrounded by up to 3 sharks ! You will start with one shark, then after a while another will come, etc… Attacking/Killing sharks has a link with how many attack you, apparently the more aggressive you are, the more sharks will appear. Sharks are also harder to kill and to stop from attacking your raft ( 5 hits from a wooden spear instead of 4 ). It takes 3 hits from a shark to die. Sharks attack your raft every 2mins. ~10 mins to lose a whole thirst bar. ~14 mins for hunger. Damage is multiplied by 1.2 compared to Normal Mode.
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. [ See Crafting Materials for more details ]
Even more after : You can use a receiver to find large islands which hold exclusive materials and tamable animals. [ See Navigation, more below, and Domesticated Animals for more details ]
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, [E] 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 fishes and put them on the grill.
You can only cook small fishes 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 fishes ( 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. [ See Cooking Recipes for more details ]
Essential Objects / Research / Expanding
.
Press [Tab] to open the Craft Window. There are some things you should always have close to hand. Try to craft them as soon as you can.
1) Building Hammer
You need this to add foundations to your raft and repair it ( Hold [Right Click] to choose what to build or to repair ). You can then use it for even more things, like add floors, wall…
2) Weapon
As soon as you can, craft a Wooden Spear because it doesn’t cost much and will allow you to defend your raft against the shark. You can choose to let the shark eat some of your raft at first and just rebuild the foundations… but you will need a weapon for when it attacks foundations with things on it so that they don’t disappear with it. It’s also good to defend your raft everytime because you’re slowly lowering the shark’s life and when it’s dead, it drops some food which is pretty important for a beginning game.
Once you start to have more materials, you can craft a Metal Spear which is more effective than the Wooden Spear. But you should aim for the bow as it is by far the best weapon for now.
3) Purifier
You need something to drink ! Thirst goes down faster than Hunger so you should focus on that first. Don’t forget you also need a Cup to use it ! [ See Gameplay Basics – Part 1 for more details ]
4) Grill
You can ignore it at first because you should be able to find lots of potatoes and beets in barrels to help you stay well fed. Once you can afford it, craft it to make all your food more effective. [ See Gameplay Basics – Part 1 for more details ]
5) Fishing Rod
You’re gonna need this ! Brings a lot of food to your raft.
6) Research Table
There are some things you can only craft after researching it through the Research Table. Every new thing you encounter should be put to research to unlock new things to craft. [ See Research more below for more details ]
7) Collection Nets
Even if you feel you’re not ready for islands yet, you can find scraps in barrels which will allow you to craft Collection Nets. They will collect the floating materials for you and meanwhile you can do other things like defend your raft, build, fish, cook… It’s not necessary to put them all next to each other, one in two is enough.
8) Storage
You never have too much of something ! You should alway avoid throwing away materials, you never know when you’re gonna need lots of them ! Craft some storage to store all your “unneeded for the moment” things.
9) Sail and Flag
You can control where you’re going with it. The flag shows you where to turn your sail to be the most effective. [ See Navigating for more details ]
10) Shark Bait (Hard Mode Solo)
If you haven’t done it yet, it’s time to explore islands ! It’s usually best to kill the shark because it leaves you at peace for 3m30s to harvest anything underwater and gives you some food. Whereas the Shark Bait costs some food.
But in Hard Mode, especially if you’re alone, you can’t really afford the risk in the beginning which comes with fighting several sharks at once.
The Shark Bait keeps the sharks busy, leaving you some time to harvest what you need.
11) Anchor
You don’t want your raft to go away while you’re exploring… Either you act really fast and get back to your raft before it goes too far or you get eaten by a shark, or… you craft an anchor and have all the time in the world. ( Throwable Anchors can only be used once whereas Stationary Anchors are unbreakable but the first one can be placed on one square, the second needs nine with a hole in the middle. )
12) Smelter
Prioritize harvesting sand and clay from the seafloors to be able to craft dry bricks, which can be used to make Smelters. Once you have this you can smelt ores, seaweeds, sand and explosive goo… which mean that from this point you should be able to build just about everything.
13) Receiver and Antennas
Time to explore further than ever ! These will allow you to find Radio Stations and Large Islands which hold many things… [ See Navigating more below for more details ]
14) Everything else
There are many things to build, you have everything that’s essential but there are still useful things to craft. Go explore your craft menu and build the raft of your dream. [ See Useful Objects and Decorations for a list of everything you can build ]
Research is really important because there are lots of things you can’t build until you learn how to craft them.
First craft a Research Table and place it on your raft. Then open it and drag materials from your inventory to the blank slot on your Research Table. Click “Research” and it will unlock this material : the material’s icon will become colorful everytime it appears in the list on your Research Table. Once all materials are researched for one item, you can click “Learn” to have it appear in your Craft Window. ( if you have the bug where you connect and items researched aren’t available anymore in your Craft Window, try placing the Research Table again on your raft )
Researching a material consumes it.
If you put a stack of items in the Research Table, it will consume one and what’s left will stay there so remember to drag it back to your inventory.
You no longer need to research blueprints that you find, it’s now automatic.
You can’t live on only 4 squares, where are you going to place all your treasures ?
Craft a Building Hammer and get to work !
Hold [RightClick] to choose what you want to build then use [LeftClick] to place it. It will appear in green so that you can have an idea before placing it. You can rotate it before placing it.
Everything you build will cost you materials, usually planks but sometimes also ropes, palm leaves…
If you misplace something you can break it using an Axe, it will refund you half of the original cost.
If you want a second ( or more ) floor, you’ll have to build pillars or walls first. You’ll be able to place floors all around the pillar/wall so remember that when for example you place pillars, you only need to place one in two.
If you’re playing anything but peaceful mode, you will need something really important : Foundation Armor. It will protect your raft from shark attacks. So place them in priority on squares holding something because for now, the shark can absolutely attack foundations in the middle of your raft and if it holds something, it will disappear with the square.
Creative Mode is a perfect way to try out structures before placing them on your current raft and risking wasting precious materials.
Navigating
.
At the very beginning, your raft will follow the current on its own.
After a while you should craft a Sail [ Plank(10), Palm Leaf(20), Scrap(3) ] and a Streamer [ Plank(6), Rope(3), Nail(3) ]. The Sail will allow you to control where your raft is going and if you’re following the current, it will make your raft go much faster. The Streamer is a little flag that shows you in what direction the said current is going, allowing you to point the Sail in the same way.
If you aim your Sail in the complete opposite of the current, your raft will be really slow or even stop moving altogether.
The next step is to craft a Receiver [ Plank(8), Plastic(6), Circuit Board(2), Hinge(1) ] and 3 Antennas [ Scrap(4), Circuit Board(1), Bolt(1) for each ]. To be able to craft them, you first need to find the blueprints for them in barrels, which will automatically unlock them in your Research Table.
The Receiver and Antennas need to be on a higher floor, not next to each other but not too far either. The Antennas will turn green when positioned correctly. If they are red, turn on the Receiver which will tell you what’s wrong ( not high enough, too far… ).
You need a Battery [ Copper Ingot(1), Plastic(6), Scrap(3) ] to make the Receiver work. It will slowly deplete itself and when it’s dead you need to place a new one and get rid of the old one ( for now you can’t recharge them ).
The Receiver when on will show you a radar and you will receive a note with coordinates, those coordinates can be entered by using the buttons and lever on the receiver’s right. A blue square should appear on your receiver with a number indicating how far it is ( the bigger the number, the farther it is ). Turn your Sail in the direction of the blue square and turn off the Receiver to not use too much of your Battery. Come back regularly to check you’re still going in the right direction.
The blue square will lead you to the 1st story place [ See Story category ] and after visiting that place you’ll have coordinates for another story place and green dots will also start to appear on your radar. The green dots will show you the way to Large Islands !
Keep an eye on the horizon, there’s much to explore !
You can find them just by following the current, they will spawn randomly on the horizon and you’ll have to swim to it and climb it to grab a crate holding some materials or recipes. The moment you walk it, it will start to sink so act fast.
It’s a really good way to get rare materials at the beginning of a game.
You can find them just by following the current, they will spawn randomly on the horizon. Sometimes you will find underwater islands, only the top will be visible at the surface. It means no island materials but much more underwater materials. Use your sail and/or a paddle to get next to it then an anchor to prevent your raft from leaving. Build ladders or higher floors to be able to reach the top of these islands and get everything on them. Don’t forget the seafloors with all their important materials.
Keep an eye out for crates. There is usually one on top of the island and/or one at the bottom of the sea.
You can find them by using your Receiver. It’s the 1st story place you’ll encounter and you can come back there by entering its coordinates again, everything will have reset.
There will be crates inside it and some useful scraps laying around.
You can find them by using your Receiver. You need to reach the Radio Station ( 1st story place ) [ See Story ] before the green dots start appearing on your radar, after this you’ll have a chance to find Large Islands.
They hold many materials you can only find there. Crates are hidden on top of the hills and underwater.
They will be protected by Puffer-Fish (usually ~5), Screechers (usually ~1) and Warthogs (usually ~1). It’s completely possible to find more of each. [ See Hostile Animals for more details ].
This is also the only place where you can find tamable animals (usually ~2). Which animal and how many of each is random. [ See Domesticated Animals for more details ]
Hard Mode
Here is a small survival guide for hard mode as it is a bit different from others. If you’re used to other modes, you’ll quickly see that you’ll have to change your priorities in this one, at least in the beginning.
- You can’t respawn alone, you need a friend and a bed
- Your hunger and thirst bars deplete much faster ( 10mins for thirst and 14mins for hunger )
- When you go to sleep, you lose some of your hunger and thirst bar
- Your health bar depletes much faster than in other modes when you reach 0 in hunger or thirst
- The shark attacks really often ( every 2mins )
- If you attack the shark, another will come ( there can be up to 3 sharks at the same time )
- Shark baits last 1m40s ( instead of 1m20s in other modes )
- Each hostile animal requires less hits to kill you than in other modes ( normal mode damage multiplied by 1.2 )
- Each hostile animal requires more hits to be killed than in other modes
[ In ( ) => number of hits required to stop a shark’s attack on your raft ]Wooden

- Don’t attack the shark ! If you do so, another will come and you will quickly be overwhelmed.
Just let it break a foundation and replace it just after it’s finished ( it’s useless to repair while it attacks, it won’t stop until it breaks ) - Barrels are your friend ! They are the only way to safely get scraps in the beginning, don’t miss any !
- Always have a spare hook
Since you’re going to be building a lot at the beginning, it’s easy to end up with no hook and no materials to craft one and the sea is far too dangerous to go swimming. - You need a small base for your raft !
The shark can attack in the middle of your raft and therefore nothing is safe on it… but ! You can and should build a top floor to stock everything.
Just like in the image on the left : keep your 4 square base and build a pillar in the middle of it as soon as you can, add a ladder between 2 squares and then build your top floor.
That way when the shark eats a foundation, everything else will stay up thanks to the other foundations. Just remember to replace the missing foundation afterwards !
- You’re going to need a lot of shark baits.
You can’t ( at least for now ) kill the shark because it will just make others come and therefore make everything much harder, so use shark baits !
Remember to wait for the shark to find your shark bait and attack it, it’s not instantaneous.
You only have 1m40s before it breaks so hurry up and get all the sweet sweet loot ! - I don’t recommend collection nets at first in hard mode ( not until you can make them indestructible with foundation armor ). But if you really want to have some, just remember that if you’re quick enough when the shark attacks it, you can remove it before the shark can break it 😉
Quick Tips for safe Shark Hunting
- Drop a shark bait just next to your raft, which allows you to attack the sharks when they come for the bait without having to go in the water. Since they won’t have time to actually chew on the bait (when they get hit they leave and come back), you’ll have more than enough time to kill them without having to use another shark bait.
- When your raft is all armoured up : add a normal foundation. Since they haven’t been able to attack your raft in a while ( because of the armour ), they should attack it right away, which will give you the opportunity to give some stabs before they break it. After that put another foundation and repeat the process, they attack pretty often so you shouldn’t have to wait too much.
~~~
Story
1. Radio Station
To begin the story, you need to craft a Receiver, 3 Antennas and a Battery [see Gameplay Basics – Part 3 on how to craft and use the Receiver]. The moment you turn your receiver on, you’ll receive a note with coordinates ( 4 numbers ), enter them and follow the blue square that appears on the receiver’s radar.
Every note and quest item will go in your journal, that way you can’t lose them even if you die.
Your journal can be found on the right of your toolbar, key to open it can be changed in the settings.
After following the blue square, you should find a Radio Station.
Anchor your raft next to it and start the climb !
There are 5 documents to find in this building, including 4 optionals.
- The 1st one is underwater, in a suitcase, next to the door of the building A-2
- The 2nd one is on the lowest floor, in the building marked B-1, on the left of the red telephone.
- The 3rd one is on the next floor, in the building marked C-1, on the left when you enter, on a wall, the note has “TRACE” written on it.
- The 4th one is on the top floor, in the building, on the white board. it’s a post-it with “people?” written on it.
- The 5th one is in the same building as the fourth, on the left, on a desk.
The only document you need is the post-it which will give you the next coordinates to follow.
You’ll find the blueprints for the Headlight in the crate next to the white board, at the top of the Radio Station.
Reaching the white board will give you the achievement [Is there a Utopia?].
If you get all the documents, you’ll get the achievement [Radio Tower Historian].
2. Vasagatan (Walkthrough)
.
The inside of the boat is very dark, so use the blueprint you’ve found in the Radio Station to craft several headlights ( it took me 2 headlights to explore everything ). I’ve made a map to help you find your way and understand better my explanations.
There are 13 documents.
There are 2 blueprints to find, one for the Engine and one for the Steering Wheel, they are next to the post-it with the coordinates for the next story place in the last room you explore ( the cockpit ).
The boat has many locked doors. To progress, you will have to find many items that unlock places to find other items that unlock other places… It’s kind of a treasure hunt.
.

3. Balboa (Walkthrough)
.
Balboa Island is supposed to be against the wind, so use the blueprints you’ve found in the boat to craft some Engines and a Steering Wheel, that will allow you to reach your destination faster. Don’t worry about fuel for now, you can use wood instead to power the engines. Remember that you need 1 Engine for 100 Foundation blocks.
There are 13 documents.
There are 4 blueprints to find, one for the Machete, one for the Fuel Tank, one for the Pipe and one for the Biofuel Refiner.
This time, to get the next coordinates you need to activate each Radio Station ( there are 3 marked 2, 4 and 6 ), there’s a big lever in each to turn it on.
.
Walkthrough :
- Arriving at the Island : There are 4 ways to enter the island and 3 starting points. A beach west, a beach south and a water path north ( that will also be your starting point if you enter through the water tunnel east ).
- Center Island :
=> Pick up at least 5 [Berries] around the island, there are many to be found.
=> Use the [Berries] on the [Basket] near Mama Bear’s cave to distract her ( the huge sleeping bear in the middle of the island ).
=> Now that Mama Bear is distracted, go inside the cave and pick up the crate, there’s the [Machete] in it !
=> Don’t forget to check out the big hill facing Mama Bear’s cave, there are 5 [Notes] on it and the [Lightbulb].
=> There’s a hill on the left when climbing towards Radio 6 and 4. There’s a locker on it with [Bruno’s Saw] inside. - Radio 6 :
=> Follow the signs until you reach a tunnel blocked by vines. Use your [Machete] on them to free the way. Radio 6 is on the other side of the tunnel.
=> There’s [Bruno’s Wrench] in the entrance of the Radio Station, on the left, on a counter.
=> There are 2 [Notes] inside the Radio Station. Both on a desk, but not the same.
=> There’s also a [Blueprint] next to a [Note], on a desk.
=> Don’t forget to switch the lever at the end of the room ! ( If it’s the 3rd lever you activate, 1 being in each Radio Station, you will receive a [Note] with the coordinates for the next story place ). - Radio 4 :
=> Follow the signs until you reach a precipice. Other the other side you can see a raised bridge with a lever next to it. Shoot the lever with an arrow to lower the bridge ( you should be able to hit it with a stone, but it’s really hard ).
=> There’s a [Blueprint] on your left, on the wall when you enter the Radio Station.
=> There are 2 [Notes], one next to the [Blueprint] on the wall, on the left when you enter. And one on a stool next to a bookcase.
=> There’s [Bruno’s Hammer] on a shelf next to the big screen.
=> Don’t forget to switch the lever at the entrance, on the left when you enter ! ( If it’s the 3rd lever you activate, 1 being in each Radio Station, you will receive a [Note] with the coordinates for the next story place ). - Radio 2 :
=> Follow the signs until you reach a path filled with some kind of yellow liquid. Jump on the crates to reach the other end. Careful the crates sink when you touch them, so hurry.
=> There’s 1 [Note] in an open locker.
=> Don’t forget to switch the lever at the entrance, on the right when you enter ! ( If it’s the 3rd lever you activate, 1 being in each Radio Station, you will receive a [Note] with the coordinates for the next story place ). - Ranger Station :
=> Follow the signs for Radio Station 2, it’s just next to it. When you reach a path filled with some kind of yellow liquid. Jump on the crates to reach the other end. Careful the crates sink when you touch them, so hurry.

4. Caravan Town (Walkthrough)
.
There are many caravans everywhere on the island with materials and food inside the drawers. There are lots of Puffer-Fish in the water and they will respawn after a while.
There are 10 documents.
There are 5 blueprints to find : one for the Metal Detector, one for the Firework, one for the Zipline, one for the Zipline Tool and one for the Battery Charger.
You need to find 3 zipline parts to be able to get to the Infirmary and the Mayor’s house which are required to find the post-it with the coordinates.
You get the coordinates for the next place in a locked chest inside the Mayor’s house.
.
Walkthrough :
- Arriving at the Island : There are many ways to climb the island, this guide will always start from the Docks which are the easiest to spot.
- The Docks :
=> The moment you set foot on the Docks, you should notice a yellow plastic square with “Port Office” written on it. Pick up a [Battery Charger Part] on the ground, just in front of it.
=> Then continue towards the cliffs towards Town A, the part of the town just next to the port. - Town A :
=> Climb the stairs on the left side of the beach (next to the docks). After the stairs, look on your right for a caravan with a blue ladder, climb it. There you will find an open caravan with a [Note].
=> Cross the 2 caravans until you see a wooden pallet on the left with a blue ladder on it, climb it. You should see a stair in front of you, on the right, go climb that too. You will then reach a [Water Pump] and a [Note].
=> Water Puzzle (see video) :
Press the [Water Pump] to see the water’s trajectory. You’ll have to move 3 pipes to let the water reach a [Well]. If you don’t place them well, the water flow could be too weak. In any case, once the pipes are placed, you’ll have to go up again to press the [Water Pump] at least 4 times (it can be more or less depending on how well you’ve placed the pipes). The [Well] should be filled now, you can go down again to pick up inside a [Zipline Part].
=> Go all the way up again, where you saw the wooden pallet with the blue ladder leading to the water pump. But instead, look on your right for a broken staircase. You should be able to climb it even if it’s broken, just stay close to the wall. Take another set of 3 staircases then yet another staircase on your right. You’ll see a blue caravan with a blue ladder, climb it and you’ll find a [Battery Charger Part]. Walk inside the caravan just next to the battery charger part, where you will find a [Note].
=> Go back down, take the single staircase, ignore the set of 3 staircases you took and instead take the small wooden bridge towards Town B, the part of town with caravans in circle and shops. - Town B :
=> Inside the circle of caravans, you should see a sign with “Canned Goods” written on it. On the right of this sign, you’ll see a brownish caravan with a red door, open it to find a [Note].
=> Go back outside and take the blue ladder on the caravan behind the “Canned Goods” sign. Once on the caravan, look on your left for yet another blue ladder and climb it. There you will find a [Battery Charger Part].
=> Go back down and cross a big wooden bridge towards the huge [Tower]. - Tower :
=> Climb the Tower and go inside the only room at the top. There, you will find a [Note] and a workstation to make a [Zipline] out of 3 [Zipline Parts] but you don’t have them yet so ignore it.
=> Go out and take the grey ladder on the side of the room to reach its roof. Careful for the White Screecher which should be attacking you soon. It won’t leave you alone until it’s dead so just take care of it now while you’re high up. It doesn’t have much health.
=> Next to the flag, you should see a huge metal rope going to an island and a wooden bridge with holes going to that same island. Take either. - Big Island next to Tower and Town C :
Go on the right side of the island and cross it until you find a big red canister next to a wooden pallet. On the pallet you will find a [Note]. Use [Explosive Powder] on the cannister which is actually a [Rocket] to make it launch (you can get explosive powder by putting explosive goo in a smelter, you can get the explosive goo from the many puffer-fish around Caravan Town).
=> Follow the rocket to a lonely small island next to you. Use the caravans in the water to reach the island. Then take the wooden bridge, climb another caravan to reach a grey ladder then a blue ladder on your right and you will reach the top of the island where the contents of the rocket are waiting. Pick the doll up to get a [Blueprint] (Firework) and [Major Tomb] (a decorative item). Then pick up the box to get a [Zipline Part].
=> Face the cliffs on the other side (where you launched the rocket) and jump in the water. Swim towards the right side of the cliffs until you reach Town C, the part of the town on a beach. - Town C :
=> Just next to the sea, on the beach, in a caravan with big white bags next to it labbeled “Onions” and “Rice”. Here you’ll find a [Note].
=> You can just ignore the rest of Town C and instead on the right side of the beach to reach to the bottom of the Tower. - Tower Bottom :
=> If you’re coming from Town C‘s beach, you should find a [Bike] on the left side of the Tower Bottom. And a [Note] next to it.
=> There’s a pipe connected to the bike, follow it underwater. Careful it’s a long way to go and there are lots of puffer-fish blocking your way. - Underwater :
=> Follow the pipe underwater, you can do it without an oxygen bottle but you’ll have to hurry. You have 2 checkpoints on the way where you can get some air + the last air spot with a [Blueprint] (Metal Detector), a [Zipline Part] and the [Infirmary Key].
=> Follow the pipe back to the surface. After reaching the bike, you’ll see a stair on your right. Climb the caravans to reach it. Then a blue ladder. Then another stair, then 2 more blue ladders then a wooden bridge to reach the Tower that you can climb. - Tower :
=> Inside the Tower you can exchange your 3 [Zipline Parts] at a workstation against 2 [Blueprints] and a [Zipline Tool].
=> Equip your [Zipline Tool] and go on the roof to take a Zipline towards an island with pigs and “Infirmatory” written on a roof. - Infirmatory Island :
=> Go to the set of caravans and climb them until you find a locked door that you can open with the [Infirmatory Key] you’ve found underwater. There you will find a [Note] and the [Mayor’s Chest Key]. Go back to the Tower and take another Zipline, this time to reach a small island with Mayor written on a roof. - Mayor Island :
=> There you can find a [Mayor Hat] (decorative hat), exchange your 3 [Battery Charger Parts] against a [Blueprint] (Battery Charger) and open a locked chest with your [Mayor’s Chest Key] to find a [Note] with the coordinates for the next story place.

Weapons
.
Cost : None, you need to harvest it from the seafloors or find some in barrels.
Stacks of : 20
Lifespan : It’s lost the moment you throw it.
Details : Stones are really for when you’re desperate, you can’t throw them really far, it’s hard to aim with it, and it doesn’t do much damage. You should note that it’s possible to do criticals with the stone ( depending on where you hit ? ) and therefore the number of hits to kill something can vary.
Damage : 1
Efficiency : How many hits to kill
Cost : Plank(8), Rope(3) / Plank(6), Rope(2), Metal Ingot(2), Bolt(1)
Stacks of : 1
Lifespan : 20 hits / 40 hits before it breaks
Details : One of the first weapons you’ll craft. You can only attack in melee with it, making it quite unsafe to use.

Stacks of : 1 + 30 / 30
Lifespan : Basic Bow ==> You can shoot 60 times before it breaks.
Arrows ==> You absolutely can pick back your arrows but you can’t wait forever, they will disappear after a while when out of your inventory. When you hit something with an arrow, it will get stuck on the wall/ground/animal. If you don’t hit anything, it will just lie on the ground or slowly fall if it’s in the water. Remember to pick up the arrows before searching the animals because searching makes the animal’s body disappear and with it : the arrows.
Details : For now, the bow is the best weapon in the game, even Stone Arrows hit pretty hard. It allows you to attack from a safe distance and you can recover most of your ammo, which makes it really worth it.
Damage : 2 / 3
Efficiency : How many hits to kill

Decorations List
These things are only here to make your raft all pretty. Of course there are all the structures you can build with your Building Hammer but there are also objects you can craft or fish.
I strongly advise you to do some tests in Creative Mode before decorating your own raft as it is really frustrating to waste materials because it didn’t end up as you hoped it would.
Many objects can be hanged from ceilings and/or on walls, test it for yourself ! 😉
You can find it on a rare small island with a flag and a shipwreck. The radio plays music but sometimes just makes weird sounds. You can turn it on and off.
You can plant a potato, a beet or a flower in it.
Can also be hanged on a wall or from a ceiling
You can take back the fish anytime ( for example, in case you’re starving ).
The plots can be painted.
The small crop plots can be hanged on walls or from ceilings.

Cooking Recipes
Cooking Recipes can be found in barrels or in crates. Some recipes can only be found on Large Islands/Radio Stations. You don’t need to find a recipe to actually use it.
There are currently 11 Recipes.
Put each ingredient on the table, then start the cooking process, remember to add planks for it to work. When it’s ready, use a Claybowl to take it. The Claybowl is consumed with the food.
Food made that way ( and Milk ) will fill part of your hunger bar with green. This “green effect” means that for a while your hunger bar won’t deplete itself, then it will do so as usual. I suppose that the bigger the green bar, the longer it will last before starting to go down.

Domesticated Animals
Tamable animals can be found on large islands. What animals and how many of each will appear on a specific large island is random.
Use a Net Launcher on a tamable animal to catch it (you also need at least 1 Net Canister in your inventory for it to work, as it is the gun’s ammo. Whether you miss or not, you won’t be able to get your net back so use them carefully).
Once caught in a net, you can carry the animal. Don’t worry, you can stop carrying it on the island or in the water, it will stay tamed and you will just have to go next to it to carry it again.
If the animal is dropped on the island, it will run around happily and it’s not hard to catch up to it. If it’s dropped in the water, it will swim at the surface and wait there, the shark won’t attack it.
Put Grass Plots on your raft and pour fresh water ( with a bottle or a cup ) on it to make the grass grow.
Grass takes about ~5mins to grow and become edible.
Each square of grass can only be eaten once before it has to be watered again.
The animals now seek out food ! You should still avoid very large pen until you have enough grass to fill it a bit everywhere.
You should count 3 Plot Grass per animal per 24 (ingame) hours.
For now, your animal doesn’t need to drink.
SPRINKLERS : They water your grassplots for you ! You need to fill it with water ( doesn’t matter if it’s salty or fresh ) for it to work and add a battery. It will water the 6 tiles in front of it + the tile it’s standing on + the tile on the left + the tile on the right, making a 9 tiles square.
The pet can walk off the raft and you will just need to pick it up from the water, the shark won’t attack but you could lose it if it falls while your raft is moving and you were looking the other way. If the waves are strong and your raft ends up under water for a few seconds, it can be enough for your animal to get carried away. A solution is to either build your pen on a higher level or enable motion sickness (settings) so that there won’t be any wave.
It will get hungry after ~6mins, if it can’t find any grass to eat : it will look unhappy.
If it doesn’t eat for ~16mins ( 10mins after being unhappy ) : it will die.
When dead, you can take its nametag and hang it on a wall, if you don’t, the body will still disappear after ~5mins.
You can kill your pet and it won’t defend itself, takes about 10 stone arrows or 20 hits with the wooden spear, but why would you do that, you monster ?!
For now, you should avoid rope fences to enclose your pets, there are several tales about escaping animals involving them.
You can use Shears to get wool from the llama [Hold Left Click], it grows back every ~10m30s.

Hostile Animals
Shark / Seagull
.
From times to times, the shark will attack your raft, if you don’t stop it, it will break a square and if there is anything on it, it will disappear with it.
To stop the shark, it takes 4 hits with a rock or a wooden spear, 2 hits with a metal spear or stone arrow, 1 hit with a machete or metal arrow.
Use the hammer to repair the raft and add foundation armor ( Metal Ingot + 2 Nails per square ) to make it unbreakable.
Hit just after the shark opens its mouth with a spear to deal damage without getting bitten ( it will turn around and swim in the other direction for a few seconds then charge back at you ). Takes some “getting use to” but once you get it, it should be easy. You can try to hit it a second or third time when it turns around by aiming its tail.
Hit from the raft with the bow to hurt the shark while being safe, you can also do it under water but then remember to also shoot when it opens its mouth so that the shark will turn around instead of biting you.
Once dead, it will give you 4 Raw SharkMeat + 1 Shark Head.
When the shark dies, you have ~3m30s before it respawns.
Hits required to kill it.
In ( ) => hits required to stop the shark from attacking the raft.
I put Seagulls in enemies because they attack your crops, but they can also be somewhat “domesticated”.
Seagulls will circle in the sky when it’s not attacking or resting.
If you plant crops, Seagulls will come from time to time to eat them ( they act pretty much the same way the shark acts with foundations ), you will need Scarecrows to prevent the Seagulls from eating your plants. The Scarecrows will break after being assaulted 3 times ( if you never stop the seagull from doing so ).
If you’re not too far away, you will hear it attacking, time to defend your plants before it finishes eating them ! Just run next to it to make it stop or throw your hook towards it or attack it. If you’re attacking with a spear, sprint [shift] towards the Seagull to have time to hit it before it flees.
You can also craft Birds Nests [ Palm(6), Plank(6), Giant Clam(1) ] to attract them. They will rest on your nests and leave feathers ( /! they used to also leave eggs, but that’s not the case anymore ). It’s a nice way to collect feathers without really trying ( 3 feathers max at the same time per nest ) but it’s also a way to know exactly where the Seagulls will land and be prepared to attack them… If you attack it, it will fly back in the sky and come back after ~2mins which will allow you to give another shot.
You can also try to build a really tall tower and attack them from there but it’s gonna require from you to aim really well.
Once dead, it will give you 6 Feather and 2 Raw Drumstick.
Hits required to kill it.
Puffer / Warthog / Screecher
.
The Puffer-Fish can be found underwater next to large islands, usually near treasure spots. Greenish goo puddles on the surface of the water can indicate there’s one under it. There are usually 3-4 Puffer-Fish per island, sometimes more.
If you get too close, it will explode and disappear leaving a yellow smokescreen that does multiple small damage until it disappears. If you stay too long in it, it will kill you even if you came with full life. If you leave the smoke you will keep getting hit several times before it stops.
Get just close enough for it to start charging you then swim backward while shooting it with the bow. Do the same if you’re using the spear or the stone, it’s just harder because you need to allow it to get even closer to be able to hit but not close enough for it to touch you and explode.
If you kill it without it exploding, you will get 1 Explosive Goo and 1 Puffer-Fish Head and have a 33% chance to get another Explosive Goo.
Hits required to kill it.
The Warthog can be found on large islands.
When it looks at you and stops moving, it means it’s going to charge so be ready to dodge by sprinting [shift] out of the way. It scratches the ground 3 times with its hoof before charging. It will be stun for a few seconds after the charge, this is your chance to attack it with the bow or with the spear if it didn’t get too far. Use the rocks around you to control where it will stop after charging you. If you’re hunting with a friend you can have one drawing its attention while the other attacks it.
Once dead, it gives 3 Leather, 2 Raw Meat and 1 Warthog Head.
Hits required to kill it.
The Screecher can be found on large islands. It will fly around the island and when it sees you it will go towards the ground to pick up a rock then come back and throw the rock at you.
Wait for the Screecher to come to you and when it’s close aim with your bow a little above its head and shoot. Just after this, sprint [shift] forward or sideways to dodge the rock.
If you’re with friends, you can spread to cover a lot of ground so that the Screecher will land next to one of you to get a rock which will allow this person to attack it easily with the bow or spear before it goes up in the air again.
Once dead, searching its body will give you : 12 Feathers, 4 Raw Drumstick and 1 Screecher Head
Hits required to kill it.
Lurker / Bear / Mama Bear
.
They can be found in Vasagatan ( the 2nd story place ). You can return there as often as you want, just enter the coordinates again. The lurkers respawn regularly so you can farm them as much as you want without having to leave the place and come back later.
Sprint sideways when it’s about to bounce then hit it.
When killed, it drops : 1 Raw Meat
Hits required to kill it.
They can be found in Balboa Island ( the 3rd story place ) and after that on some large islands that look like Balboa Island.. You can return there as often as you want, just enter the coordinates again. The bears respawn regularly so you can farm them as much as you want without having to leave the place and come back later.
Move backward before it hits, then attack, then quickly move backward again.
Hits required to kill it.
Use range attacks, she’s just too fast. Try to attack her from as far as possible, that way she should come at you then go back to her leash spot because you’re out of her zone. Careful though, if she hits you at the frontier of her leash zone, she will be able to follow much farther…
Hits required to kill it.
Mudhog / White Screecher
.
They can be found in Caravan Town ( 4th story place ) and on Caravan like islands. They don’t respawn after a while but you can return there as many times as you want, just enter the coordinates again.
Wait for it to charge, careful it can turn around after its charge and charge again. You have to wait for it to look confused before you can attack.
You can also use arrows which makes it much easier because it will sometimes get frightened by the attack and run away.
When killed, it drops :
Hits required to kill it.
You can find one in Caravan Town ( 4th story place ). It doesn’t respawn after a while but you can return there as many times as you want, just enter the coordinates again.
Works pretty much like the normal Screecher except it seems to be harder to dodge the attacks. Really run towards it if you can, don’t stop, don’t turn, sprint.
When killed, it drops : 7 Feathers, 2 Raw Drumsticks, 1 White Screecher Head
Hits required to kill it.
Butler-Bot / Purple Lurker
.
They can be found in Tangaroa ( 5th story place ). They can’t die, after you knock them out they will stay deactivated for 1min before moving again.
Let it reach you so that it will stop and start electrocuting you. Sprint backwards so that you won’t take the hit then sprint back to it to attack.
When knocked out, it drops : Tangaroa Keycard
Hits required to knock it out.
They can be found in Tangaroa ( 5th story place ), in the underground area. They don’t respawn and disappear once the place gets flooded.
Contrary to their smaller form, these ones don’t jump. Instead they run to you and scratch.
Let it reach you so that it will stop and start attacking you. Sprint backwards so that you won’t take the hit then sprint back to it to attack.
Hits required to knock it out.

Advice
-You can split stacks : Drag and drop with [Right Click] to take one from the stack; with [MouseScroll Click] to split the stack in half.
-You can pause your game by opening the menu… but for this to work you need to NOT allow friends to join when you launch your world.
-If you hover your mouse above an object then press [1] ( or 2, 3… ), it will directly move it to your action bar depending on what key you pressed.
-Build a lot of storage ! You’ll never have too much of something, you can be sure that if you throw away something, 1 hour after you’re gonna need tons of it and won’t be able to find any.
-Add in priority Foundation Armor to all the squares holding something, so that the shark can’t bite them all to oblivion.
-Don’t be greedy, if you’re fighting and are almost out of health, go back to your raft and heal. The animals won’t regain their health, you have all the time in the world.
-Craft a bed to come back to life with more health, be able to skip nights and control where you will respawn if you die ( otherwise you will appear at the “center” of your raft, even if it’s above water ).
-Don’t forget that you can sprint by using [shift] to move faster ( doesn’t work in water though ).
-If you’re playing with people, remember what path you’re taking while exploring so that you can easily tell them how to find you if you get in troubles.
-It’s useless to put several sails.
-Careful when you drop something ( appears in a box ), it will disappear into thin air after ~1m30s.
-Careful when you remove a floor, if there is anything on it, it will be lost.
-Your raft is the center of this world, everything appears around it, so if you’re off exploring an island while your raft is following the current, there will be a time where the island you’re on will disappear and you will be lost in the middle of nowhere.
-When you wake up, use any key but not your mouse or you risk using the item you’re holding.
-Most bugs can be fixed by restarting the game.
-If you know you’re going to die and you’re in normal mode and alone ( which means you’re going to lose all of your inventory ), quickly drop everything you can so that you can go and get it back when you wake up, just remember you have ~1m30s before the boxes disappear, if you were underwater the boxes will float to the surface.
