Raft Hard Mode - We Built A Zoo // EP4

hello friends rodamon here thank you for tuning in to episode 4 of raft which originally streamed live on twitch so i should update my goals here let me do that uh add tree planters so tree planters are like large farming plots uh when you plant a tree seed um you need to only water it once which is really convenient and then it will grow over time to become a tree one of the huge advantages of the um the tree plot over farming plots is that the seagulls will not try to eat trees whereas the seagulls will absolutely positively harass your um your food and they don't care if you're on the raft or not so one of the problems is like if i had farming plots on my raft right now and i didn't have a scarecrow to scare off the [Music] the gulls uh they would eat my crops and kill the seeds which is which can be pretty uh which can suck all right well that was about everything let's get them moving i'm going to try to get to that other island because that island's bigger um if i can get around this one that'll be the unique dangers i was referring to so for the tree plots crop plot i need four rope and a hinge and some nails all right here's a large crop plot and let's put it um let's put this one here because it's not near an edge so it it's protected-ish and we'll plant will plant palm there's my palm tree [Music] and grab a cup of water the tree and we'll have a palm tree soon now let me oh i'm totally going the wrong direction [Music] i'm gonna start moving things around that i already have deployed uh to try to free up additional space for another tree plot [Music] so if i'm gonna move my grill uh there's only two planks in there hmm let me try to cook something on that so we don't waste the fuel because once you rip it up uh it destroys all the fuel that was in there [Music] it is one tree per plot yes so you can't uh can't be a forester overnight but it's it is a good way to get semi-renewable sources of wood oh god i'm stuck where's my [Music] row row row your boat [Music] i'm just going to demolish this because i'm trying to get this big island that's on the other side oh future attacking the opposite corner you would [Music] cut a little synth wave coloring there yeah let's i'll i'll take a look in a second although the sun might be a little too high now yes not anymore [Music] right now i only have one shark i had one shark i killed it now i have another one shark very very very lucky [Music] let me think about nudging more stuff i'm gonna nudge this box here definitely empty okay put this here won't be in my way it also has seeds which is good that i'm keeping it right next to where i need to store the seeds [Music] i'm probably gonna want an axe coming to this big island here and more arrows for sure so let me do the arrows first speaking arrows bye birdie let me get even one more knowing what's on this island i'm going to want a lot of arrows hey klein thanks theresa my goodness is that a long sub streak how you doing buddy all right uh i'm gonna move the grill and i actually might just um stash the grill for now because i'm not sure where i want to put it and we are preparing to make landfall so i did mention an axe but i need a little bit more wood to craft it so i'll cut down one of the trees but there's uh there's some new enemies on this island that are uh far more dangerous than even the shark so fun i have the wood for the x so i need rope scrap and a bolt now we have a metal axe i'm going to use up my stone axe and then actually you know what i'm going to stash my stone axe just in case i run out of axes oh and we have a goat hello goat explosives are a thing yes they are a thing the poison puffers that i killed they when they die they drop explosive goo that you can smelt down into explosive powder oh okay speaking of dangerous enemies exhibit a you just gored me and he did it again oh god do i have the other enemy on me now no there's a multiple dangers here i wonder if i can climb oh hello all right i think red light is probably appropriate [Music] [Music] oop i missed i'll have to fetch that arrow arrows are pretty precious now and he's dead oh don't go into shark infested so this guy just dropped the leather which is going to be really important resource later on and let me see if i can't find that arrow there it is got it [Music] i'm going to chill on my raft a minute because i'm hurt but leather is going to allow me to get armor in a backpack which as you can imagine is going to be really handy on later on um so let's research the leather and it also gave me a forehead which i'm gonna keep my captain's head on instead so leather is here that's a component but not everything that i need i also need a wool to be able to make armor so i'm not there yet and back to the island we go after i cycle the smelter because we are using a metal fast so that's one of the two types of enemies on this island i think you can see the other one probably right the one up there is probably the most dangerous second most dangerous in the game um one thing that's weird about the game is not all trees are cut down-able so these larger trees the thick trunk ones can't touch those they are uh they're axe proof so while i travel around this island i have to make sure that that bird there it's called a screecher it doesn't uh it doesn't come and wallop me because it is a force to be reckoned with but cutting down trees allows me to see it easier so let's get it's a twofold [Music] it's easy to lose the birds all right i think it's gonna attack me in a second it's easy to lose the birds through the canopy so the trees so the fewer trees around you the easier it is to to fight them all right let's fight let's fight dude come on and then there's also a cave there and i'm going to want to make a shovel uh to explore that cave [Music] man this bird does not want to fight me [Music] i'll have to intrude on its territory even further they're not a rock nope they're called screechers and very soon you'll hear why they're called that i'm also a little worried that there's another bore oh i think it's coming to attack me now no it's not i'm worried that there's another bore on this island and i don't i do not want to fight a boar in a screech at the same time especially not with a bed made without a bed made because that would be ripville okay here it yep here it comes so these bastards try to drop a massive boulders on your head okay and uh yep it's going to be my sole focus for a bit to hit it with an arrow and dodge out of the way of the boulder uh two boulders and i'm dead so if i get hit by one boulder i'ma be booking it away from it and also i don't know where it is i hate when i lose oh here it is oh hold on one second bad timing okay without a bow and arrows uh there ain't nothing you could do to this thing so it's important to be well equipped when you head to one of these larger islands the large islands obviously have some pretty awesome resources oh overshot i'll have to go get that arrow oh hey i need one of those we'll deal with that later i'm glad that there's one on this island so that my friends is an alpaca which produces wool that helps to make armor and backpacks it's passive it's not going to try to kill me it's also very tanky so it's not likely to die from a straight arrow or two yeah you can see that these trees here are very very annoying to try to fight through so let me get to the now that i uh retrieved my arrow let me get to the other side [Music] where is he oh there he is [Music] probably just one or two more hits you can see all the metal arrows in his torso [Music] nope still not dead been doing a good job dodging these things though he hasn't gotten a hit in yet another thing to pay attention to is my food and water my water is pretty low and i'm not going to want to have that hit zero on a larger island because it would be hard for me to get home boom you're dead [Music] rip your skull out got all my arrows back or most of them it's a longer fight so you don't get all of them because arrows have like a respawn timer and then uh [Music] i think what i'm gonna do is get ready to capture an alpaca in my opinion alpacas and there's three types of pets that you can capture there's alpacas goats and cluckers which are like chickens and the alpacas are and cluckers are far more important than the goats the goats give you milk the alpacas give you wool and the cluckers give you eggs eggs and wool are a lot more important than milk imo you're welcome to disagree but just my opinion man there's my screecher head and let's try to put some stuff away i feel like the more storage i add the more stuff i get more storage i need and we're out of palm seeds uh storage now it only stacks to 20. and i happen to get another foam seed cutting down that tree now the chance to get seeds are slightly less than 20 so on average you get fewer seeds than you plant which means that all crops in this game um are finite if that's a way you want to look at it if that makes sense um that you it's not infinitely re-sustainable or however you want to look at it so it's important to um to collect seeds and keep seeds so that you're not uh you don't end up like out of them entirely uh so alpaca yes so the current description is try to capture alpaca so the way to do this is to get uh where is my explosive goo here it is [Music] is to dry out the explosive goo and a smelter to get explosive powder and i'm going to also need to make a net launcher with uh two bolts an ingot four plastic and two scrap [Music] so mega medaling it two bolts uh four plastic and two scrap so this is my net launcher which launches a net that needs ammo and right now i'm researching how to do the ammo i water that right uh heads you can wear and then later on you can use them as um [Music] sort of fuel but that comes later on but if you want to see me wear the heads that i have so far um here is the puffer head and then here is the screecher and where's my other heads where's my head at here is the [Music] forehead oddly enough the boar head covers your head entirely but you can see through it and the other heads uh clip into your view pain so the forehead if i was gonna wear any hat it would be the boar hat because it doesn't bother you so now that i have the explosive powder i can hit research and that teaches me how to make a neck canister so a net canister is one explosive power four stone and four rope so let's see if i have the resources for that that's for rope and that's four stone so as soon as this powder dries out i'll have four powder and then the other thing i'm going to need to do is physically have a place to keep the animal it has to be fenced in uh else it will wander off the raft and drown or whatever so they're not exactly smart they don't they don't have any self-preservation instinct or anything like that so i'm going to need to have a place to physically put it [Music] probably the cheapest fence would be the probably the half wall or the plank fence so let's do a plank fence [Music] and there now i have a little alpaca hole uh the other thing that i'm going to want to do is to make a shovel [Music] i know that seems a little strange but uh that's in order to have the alpaca actually yield produce so ingot bolt let's do another ingot bolt [Music] and with a shovel um i will be able to dig up some dirt and create a plot of grass for the alpaca to feed upon um allowing the alpaca then to replenish its coat and make wool for me over time [Music] so the net launcher now here's my net canister um it is obviously uh one shot you know only so so don't miss and it this thing might look like a bazooka but it has terrible terrible terrible range so yeah get close get very very close [Music] now it's roughly a ratio of one grass plot which you'll see me make in a minute to one animal farm animal uh in order to keep them fed but it's better to have slightly more than one because it's it's not perfect so where'd this dude go hello alpaca oh here's a berry bush for red berries you can't grow red berries so they're kind of special oh here you are got it oh i don't want the flower and then i could carry it lift with your knees not your back and bring it back to the pen i made in order to keep it as an animal oh also um raffle hold on let me um raffle this bad boy off because it can be named so i'm gonna reset the eligibility for the raffle timer any subscribers out there that want to alpaca named after you uh type something in the chat and at the end of the raffle timer that's above my head uh you have a chance to win said alpaca so to be named is your current name [Music] it has a little name tag around its neck as you can see where'd i park uh over here right no over this way [Music] these larger islands is pretty easy to get lost all right so there's the alpaca uh it doesn't have anything to eat yet i'll be working on that in a minute as soon as a shark there it goes like clockwork and shark's dead it almost um i'm gonna actually spend a minute to do some resource mining because i just killed a shark and it would be foolish not to take advantage of a dead shark uh except for before i head out i need a new hook this scrapbook is about to die on me so scrapbook scrapbook uh this alpaca can be sheared don't worry i already could tell but i'm got too many things going on so two rope and six scraps there we go so i'm just looking for more metal and clay and sand and scrap not that picky about what i i get i just figured uh the shark is dead so you know opportunistic gathering these uh these larger islands you think being larger islands that have i'm sure they have more resources but the resources are remarkably spread out uh so it's it's pretty easy to uh harvest the reefs of these larger tropic islands because of how spread out they are you can just avoid the sharks uh these islands also have a higher prevalency of the poison puffers um i don't even think the small reef islands give you poison puffers you have to have medium-sized ones so it's also a good place to farm for the explosive goo to make powder so uh i might find some poison puffers down here and now that i have a bow they're a lot more easy to kill because killing uh explosive fish with a uh a spear is a little sketchy underwater your bows uh drop off is pretty severe but it's not zero you it definitely has more range than the um uh than the uh the spear hey trusted how you doing buddy if you haven't followed trusting or any i rate them a lot so most of you probably aren't interested but uh follow him on on youtube if you're looking for some additional youtube content definitely lean into trustin's content it'd be i it would it would mean a lot to me if you did because he's he's uh trying to make us a content creator and starting on youtube it's it's brutal man it's it's really brutal so any help that you can give just google trusted and you'll you'll find them and also follow him on twitch that helps too welcome buddy how's it how's it going we're just uh i just killed a shark so i'm trying to try to capitalize as much as i can now that the shallows are safe for like maybe 40 more seconds probably not even i'm sure it's already respawned just haven't found me yet i was pz today that's what you were playing right yeah you were playing pc how's pc today busy treating you well or bad rng [Music] trusting also has dogs yeah that's a big perk [Music] that's why you're here hello speaking of which yoda yoda wake up dude all right that's the raffle timer and it goes to flying totally rigged inappropriately rigged dear lord goes to a moderator can you believe it guys all right i need to get back to my rap soon for some munchies once i brought him with me no i don't i don't need berries on me that's not gonna be enough as i'm sure you've probably noticed i haven't really um i haven't really got a lot of ore or other resources from this large behemoth of an island larger isn't necessarily better because it's not resource dense so it takes a while to collect i was i'm quite surprised i haven't found more poison puffers though i would have thought i would have found at least one by now i'll learn how to make a candlestick [Music] it's very strange that haven't happened upon puffers hey hydrate sure thing dude whoa my cup holder fell [Music] my coaster i went doggy treats [Music] i'm so very offended that echo and tusk has not joined me echo tusky come on [Music] i gave him the loud holler hope i muted myself in time because otherwise i just pull out your drums here you are come on come on up up oh oh there you go hi dusky [Music] you're a good she's perfectly behind me rest assured she's back there i think i think i need to move something off the couch to make her more comfortable give me one second hi girl there we go [Music] hi all right yeah time to get back to the boat i didn't find any puffers so the poison puffer is what you need to kill if you want to capture more animals because the poison poppers are the ones that drop the goo the explosive goo that allows you to fire the net launcher and uh i am simply at a loss of puffers so i'm gonna head back to the boat do some eating oh this will help and uh oh actually before i go to the boat now that i found some food let's go to the mountaintop because there's loot up here and loot the boxes and then there's a lot of trees here to cut down and these trees are gonna help oh boy hello uh yep ow ow now here's another board the boars don't do cliff diving all that effectively so you can game the system by just being out of their uh attack range or whatever and it goes down but uh just be very very cautious you do not want to fight a boar and a screecher at the same time uh that's that's suicide i am completely out of carry capacity so do i drop something um all right so i've picked up the wet bricks and the meat and there's a head here and clay that i don't have space for all right heading back to the boat that stuff might despawn um but yeah i can't really help that where is my boat [Music] i think it's behind that hill husky already left me uh [Music] husky come on man leaving daddy hanging nobody likes that all right sure where are you [Music] there you are now i actually don't know how many sharks i have it's definitely well maybe it's more than one i don't know for sure probably more than one so new yep definitely more than one uh with this new hinge let me go ahead and make a box yet another box i am whoa you are ugly fast running out of room i will organize soon i promise i also don't even have my grill deployed but i've just been eating past meals that i made so that'll carry me for a bit good amount of scrap uh the i now have enough for another smelter so i didn't even need that other clay because i have two dry bricks here and then i i could pair that with the uh the four that i'm drying out now and that will be enough um let's put more stuff away uh this tree looks like i could cut it down but i got other things i'm trying to do so let's go ahead and make shears i know i'm so slow right now just overwhelmed by the amount of tasks i have ingot hinge scrap so the shears here will allow me to shear mr alpaca and start to first i'll research the wool and that unlocks leather greaves leather body armor leather helmet and backpack um i probably want the backpack first as it will dramatically increase my carry size but the armor is really useful too the backpack doesn't decay like it can't break but the the other stuff will break over time um okay i definitely don't need to collect any more seaweed i have a a lot of it and i'm just about out of wood so let's go landfall and collect the dirt from the cave so let me update this build grass plot is my current priority [Music] oh and uh client i didn't name it after you sorry hold on i'll fix that i'll just decline i think you're fine with that right all right so the the alpaca can't be sheared again until it starts to eat grass they don't starve or dehydrate or anything so that's a kindness they don't have to be hampered uh but they do need a little love so in this cave there ought to be some dirt for me to dig up there it is and the dirt will allow me to make a grass plot to keep the alpaca fed and fluttered i think that's all the uh the dirt there so i got six dirt i'll need to use one of the dirt to research how to use dirt and then the remaining five can be put to the grass plot there are four of the five and then we're uh i might have a spare stack of wood somewhere in the in my boat but let's cut some more trees down so that i can push away off this island yeah these larger islands obviously have a lot of stuff and i haven't even gone to the peak and the peak will have a box or two for me to loot as well which is can be tasty tasty loot a goofin just reminded me of that but yeah don't worry i hadn't forgotten so these islands are better for the island for the land mass for the animals that are on it and the trees on it and then the smaller islands in my opinion are better for the ore because it's really easy to just grab them grab and go uh the thing with large islands that you really do have to be careful of is dehydration and starvation because it's very easy to be far away from resources and to be you know to starve to death or dehydrate to death so there is a larger there is a larger water container that um that is definitely should be i i should make one soon uh it's made of plastic and vine goo and it's a plastic bottle that will allow me to have five sips of water and i would go even go so far as to say on the really really large islands because this is not the largest you're probably gonna want at least two of those uh one is likely not even enough oh boy i am out of space uh part of me wants to pop this crate open but i'm not going to because i don't even have space for the potential loot that it will have and i don't want the loot to sit on the ground and uh decay so i'll have to come back now most uh most things that you loot here like the red berries and the coconuts and the mushrooms they're all part of specialty recipes that i'll unlock later on that can give you some health bonuses and food bonuses and the like and i am totally full i'm gonna head back to the boat so i'll show you what i mean by like billy goating if you just sort of hug the walls here you don't take any fall damage you really have to do like a crazy leap of faith to uh get capped by fall damage as one could probably tell if you have a really large raft it can be very difficult to respond to all the attacks at once so massive wraps with big blueprints floor prints you either need a lot of players to protect it or you need to reinforce it with armor because you're not going to keep your raft together if you uh build real wide and huge um because you just constantly have shark attrition [Music] all right let's research the dirt plot this unlocks the the grass plot and let's get some grass plots going so i can make up to two of them right now but i'm only gonna make one because i don't need two and the way these work is you can plop them down below it and then you just need to water it unless it's raining um periodically once once every five minutes or so if you forget to water it it's not like the apac is gonna dehydrate or anything like that like i said they they don't they don't die they just don't produce resources fasting ding ding's worth that is quite a verbose name i love it thank you for the uh theresa how'd you come up with that name i i if you don't mind me asking i've gotta know cause that is uh that's phenomenal and bunker joe thanks for reset as well don't die in hard mode i don't believe so no i i've never had that happen and i've played a lot of hard mode although you know i forgive you for not being able to tell that i've logged time into the game self dig all righty uh there's still a lot more resources out on the island uh let me try to empty my pockets so i have room for it now there is uh decorations that you can make oh really dingus there's decorations you can make to make signs and the like to be able to put up signs for like what storage does what so i'll be using signs soon i feel bad just continually saying trust me i have a plan i have a plan i feel like god dutch but no i have a plan guys i i swear um hi goat now i can't capture the goat because i don't have explosive goo from a poison puffer to capture him um i couldn't find a poison puffer in the waters around this island so i just don't think this island spawned one but all this wood allows me to do expansion so what to prioritize next there's a few options here so there is uh work on the story mode antenna and receive [Music] add more collection nets uh expand the ranch add tree plots [Music] let you vote on that over there one of those four options [Music] so there's the box at the top there's a few more trees and then i'll be i'll be outta here there's sometimes uh sort of secret underwater alcoves on islands so i should also do a quick survey to make sure that this uh archipelago because it is multiple islands see i used a big word uh this archipelago doesn't have any um secret uh underwater thingy mabobs it was your college roommate's name for his ice when dale 2 character and you stole it it's a good name i don't i don't blame you stealing it bolt metal oh drumstick with jam i got a new recipe sweet so that's either every single that's either every single tree on this island or like at least most of them except for the big trees that are unchoppable i don't see oh no there's uh this micro island over here let me go get that did i break my axe no why'd i put my axle i don't know i'm sometimes an idiot [Music] my axe actually might not even have the durability to clear this because there's three left and my axe is about to break can i make a spare with what i have on me oh if i got scrap i could so maybe i'll go into the water and get some scrap to replace this axe gimbly would be so proud x is gone at this point i pretty much ignore my hydration meter when i'm consuming fruit and things because uh i get water for free back on my uh my raft so water is really not a concern of mine so i need to need to scrap huh and now i'm gonna find none there's one this is technically shark infested water so gotta keep an eye out case the bruces find me oh that's a special plant right there up ahead as well silver algae it's part of a like a fancy recipe all right so there's more scrap down there but i'm almost out of oxygen and i just want to focus on uh cleaning up these trees and pushing off to the next island and working on whatever you vote on so i put a timer on it the timer will run out and i'll just whatever you vote on will be my priority i think this is the last tree got a full belly love it [Music] [Music] shame the puffer didn't spawn here i agree because it would allowed me to get the goat there tends to only be there's usually only like two animals per island so it's very rare to have except for the really really large island so on these types of islands it's very rare to have the opportunity to get more than just two animals but because i couldn't find a second puffer you know or another puffer uh i can't capture that goat and there's no there's no real point in killing it it doesn't drop resources like the uh boar would the branching animals there's really no advantage to fighting them it um they have like crazy high hit points and they i don't think really drop anything so it's utterly pointless you're not supposed to in other words all right sharks come on there you are like clockwork and you guys told me to add more connection collection nets you guys like the collection that's all right i'll do it after i murder this thing and my spear is gone i'm gonna need to make another one so let's cast away cast off and i'll gonna sort out my inventory and then i'll i'll work on the collections so first things first a new spear [Music] without that um shark food [Music] i can put away my tools at least the shovel um store this in here i should start to oh whoops sorry klein he needs more water [Music] i'll build up once you guys vote on me building up but i haven't built vertically because it just hasn't no the working on the story missions just hasn't won in the polls so i've not been doing it thank you for tuning in to raft which originally streamed live on twitch november 9th if you have any questions or feedback for me let me know in the comments below if you'd like to catch a
