Game Journalism - Day 2 - Play
I continued on from my first save(the one I haven't died in, fyi), and I was a little behind in plastic and a bit hungry and thirsty. Okay a lot hungry and thirsty. So I decided I would gather lots of plastic and then after make another fishing rod and fish. I quickly LEARNED(part 2) after making a fishing rod, that the most effective way to fish was while waiting for the "LMB" to appear on the screen(no matter where you're looking) you can gather stuff with the "E" key. I thought that was like, some sort of human evolution that made things so much easier. The only things I stopped fishing for were barrels, or when my water/beets were ready. Finally I had at least a stack or two(I can't vividly remember) of plastic, so I set out to make another storage box because my inventory was now full of at least 5 stacks of palm leaves and two of planks, and also all the fish I was grabbing. I now have one box for food and one for materials, but the boxes are terribly small. A strategy I'm going to focus on collect lots of wood, because I ran out while building walls.
Game Journalism - Play 3
1. I built a Scarecrow for the first time today.
2. The scarecrow will keep the dumb seagull off my crops. That's my survival you thief.
3. Tomorrow I'm just hoping to come across an island so I can gather more sand and clay. I need to make a Smelter in order to make a hinge that I need for a tree pot.
4. I've built my raft like this because one, it looks nice :D and two, the tower is for getting onto islands while the little house at the bottom contains my research table, both my grills, and four plastic containers. The front has four collectors placed as you see in the second photo(They've been moved but their holes are still there), as that is the front of my lil' raft.

Game Journalism Day 1 - Basics
Raft
Raft is a survival game where the player has to collect debris from the magical place they spawn from in order to build things, eat, drink, and to survive. As far as I know there is no "Final goal" or a way to complete the game.
The ways you can collect debris are simple:
- With the E key on your keyboard.
- With the left mouse button when using the hook.
Debris:
The Palm Leaf is really useful for crafting rope, which is for some reason needed for a lot of things.
Planks are super useful for many different seriously important things. Like a hook, or a platform for your raft. They're also good for making furniture or any sort of raft-related building objects.
Plastic is also very useful for building platforms or a hook. It can also be used for other tools like the paddle, and is good for a container of items and some other things.
Scrap can be used for.... I think my friend said torches... I haven't gotten far enough to be able to research any of those things, so I don't think scrap is very useful without a research table.
Stone is.... Useful for something I'm sure. I haven't come across anything it was needed for yet.
Blueprints allow you to make advanced devices or mechanics. You can find them in barrels, and with a research table, you can learn how to craft tougher things.
Shark Attack:
This is what a normal shark attack looks like...
And this is what a stubborn one looks like... The shark I guess didn't care that there was literally a board on the side it wanted to attack that platform on, so it attacked it anyways, I guess.
My Raft:
And this is what my raft looked like when I signed off. I'm assuming I needed a photo of how the raft looks when you start, but I forgot, so basically when you just start out there's only four platforms that the shark can destroy at anytime whether you're standing on it or not(learned that the hard way), and a hook for grabbing debris. If anything, this image is a look at what you can achieve in an hour and a bit. This was done in one class so, given I did actually die once this time.
