I'm a great raft fan. In earlier versions I could put a fire, log holder, stick holder and stong holder, fill them up, and take them out to one of the islands. I haven't built a raft in v.26 yet (too busy surviving) but I will use it to move up and down the coast, go ashore and collect a few logs, sticks and stones and leave berfore the cannibals and hominoids arrive. t
Then back to my base camp to build it a little stronger.
