Gamers who have beenStranded Deepmay be wondering how best use to their limited resources. For those who have already mastered how to heal, hunt, andhow to cook fish inStranded Deep, they may be thinking of moving to a new island. For that, players will need to build a raft.
Supplies Needed to Build the Best Stranded Deep Raft
In order to build a strong raft to get players to the next island, they are going to need to collect a few things. First, they’ll need a base, which can be made out of buoys, tires, wood, or barrels. But sincetrees don’t grow back inStranded Deepand wood is needed for so many other things in the game, players may want to avoid using it for the base of their raft.

Next players need flooring, which can beStranded Deepcontainer walls, Driftwood, Wood, Plank, Corrugated, and Clay. Players should take note of how heavy each is, because they will need to ensure that they have enough buoyancy to stay afloat. After that, rafts just need a sail or a motor, then players can take off. The rafts inStranded Deepare endlessly customizable, allowing players with different styles and available materials to be able to still get something that will float.
But if players have tons of materials and are looking for the best kind of boat to take adventuring, there are a few things they should take into consideration beforebuilding a raft inStranded Deep.

Best Raft Design in Stranded Deep
Rafts inStranded Deephave a few rules that they always follow. The bigger the raft is, the harder it is to turn, and the slower it is to get moving. Also, multiple sails do not increase the speed of the raft in the water. So to build an optimal setup for a raft, players should think light and small. There are two ways that most players like their rafts: tiny and fast, or small and full of storage.
In order to build tiny, players will have to think small. This means either a 1x1 raft with a sail, or a 2x1 raft with a sail, anchor, and motor. Either build should be fast enough in the water to keep clear of sharks. However, there is a problem of storage on these boats, as they cannot hold crates. Thus, players will be limited with the number of supplies they can bring along, like fresh-watercoconut flasks which are necessary inStranded Deep, more wood, and other things they may not be able to find on another island.

3x3 rafts with the center open will allow players a crate for storage in the center, and they can bring their whole camp along. While the extra weight and size will slow the raft, players can build extra durability into the rafts. Using better materials will help keep the sharks from rocking the boat. Additionally, maybe there are someStranded Deepcheat codesthat might also help in case of shark attack.
