Start with these player actions first. This is the chapter route, not a keyword block.
Start with a stable base: survival matters more than looks early on.
Good enough for basicsAdd useful structures: focus on pieces that help resources, safety or navigation.
Good enough for basicsThink about defense early: do not wait until the raft is already in trouble.
Good enough for basicsDo not trust exact material costs yet: those need visible build-menu screenshots.
Good enough for basicsAvoid best-layout claims: layouts need testing before being recommended.
Good enough for basicsKeep related crafting notes nearby: raft building and crafting should be checked together.

A compact table for scanning goals, risks and next actions.
| Raft topic | What to do | Do not claim yet |
|---|---|---|
| Build menu | Find where building starts and what options are visible. | Exact menu wording |
| Structure names | Use visible names only after checking the UI. | Hidden structures |
| Material costs | Wait for visible cost UI before listing counts. | Exact recipe counts |
| Base structure | Build something stable before going far. | Best layout |
| Defenses | Plan safety early. | Defense stats or rankings |
| Structural limits | Treat limits as unchecked until tested. | Hidden mechanics |

Guide
No verified material table is published yet. Material counts require a screenshot or direct gameplay check.
No. This page keeps recipes out until the build UI or gameplay evidence confirms exact costs.
Exact material costs, best raft layouts, defense numbers and hidden mechanics still need screenshots.
Start with a stable base, add useful structures, think about defense early and use crafting notes carefully.
Begin with a stable raft base, then add useful structures and basic defenses before long exploration. Exact material costs still need build-menu screenshots.

Source note
This chapter keeps the route useful now and labels details that still need gameplay proof. Exact stats, coordinates, recipes and hidden mechanics stay out until a player can check them cleanly.
