The Large Raft is a boat that was added in v0.48 to The Forest.
Contents
Gameplay[]
The Large Raft is the largest boat in the game, superseding the Raft and the houseboat, and is useful if you are going for an island base since there is plenty of space to build log, rock and stick holders on the raft. You cannot sleep or save, unless you build a bed. The raft is very stable and is equipped with two oars, making it possible to steered by two people at once, it is however not advised for single player for the same reason. As of V1.12 - VR, Large Rafts cannot not be moored to the Dock, only the Houseboat can be moored.
- The Raft is excellent as a cargo boat because of its size, and has a good stability.
- The Raft is slow and difficult to steer, and requires a good amount of resources to be built. It seems to be a lot harder to steer with it when playing alone since using only 1 oar makes it constantly turn into the same direction. The Large Raft is only usable in multiplayer, as it requires two players to steer the raft in a straight direction. Attempting to steer the raft alone, will result in simply moving the raft in circle, left or right, based on what side of the raft you are steering.
- at times a log holder that is built on the large raft will glitch and the logs will actually drop underneath the boat rather than stay on the boat in the log holder.
- Unfortunately, as of v1.07, nothing can be built on the second floor of the raft.

Known Bugs[]
- If snacks are put inside of a cabinet on the Large Raft, the Large Raft will jerk in the direction that the back of the cabinet is facing
- Occasionally, when eating the "stew" out of an old pot on top of a fire source, the pot will drop through the raft to the sea floor.
