Best Raft
The wooden raft you know, but finally easy to steer. Best Raft is a separate raft with its own engram, so the vanilla raft stays untouched.
Controls
| Key | Action |
|---|---|
| W / S | Forward / backward |
| A / D | Strafe left / right (no turning) |
| Mouse | Turn in place, even while strafing |
| Shift | Sprint: ×2.5 speed |
Features
- Strafing. Slide sideways along a shore, a dock or another boat.
- Turn in place. No wide turning circle; the raft rotates where it stands.
- Sprint. Hold Shift to go 2.5 times faster.
- Quicker acceleration. Reaches full speed in a couple of seconds.
- Easy to spot. Gold-framed icon and the name "Best Raft" above the raft.
- Multiplayer-ready. Sprint uses ARK's built-in running, so it works on dedicated servers without speed-hack rubber-banding.
How to get it
Learn the Best Raft engram and craft it with the same resources as the vanilla raft. Place it on water like a normal raft.
Admin commands
Give yourself a Best Raft (open the console with Tab or `):
cheat gfi BestRaft 1 0 0
Or with the full item path:
cheat giveitem "Blueprint'/BestRaft/PrimalItem_BestRaft.PrimalItem_BestRaft'" 1 0 0
On a server without cheats enabled, log in as admin first: enablecheats YourAdminPassword.
Compatibility
Adds a new raft and does not change the vanilla one, so it is safe to add to an existing save or server.
