To get Sand and Clay in Raft, you need to dive into the ocean near coral reefs and collect them from the seabed.
Sand and Clay are essential resources in Raft for crafting various items, especially foundations and building components. You won't find these materials floating on the surface.
Finding Sand and Clay
The primary location for finding both Sand and Clay is on the ocean floor, typically near large coral reefs.
Here's how to get started:
- Eliminate Threats: According to the reference, it's recommended to ensure safety first. "Once the shark is destructed go into the ocean near the coral." Dealing with the shark allows you to dive and collect materials without interruption.
- Locate Coral Reefs: Sail around until you spot areas with visible coral structures below the surface. These are prime locations for Sand and Clay deposits.
- Dive Down: Equip yourself with flippers (if you have them) and dive beneath the surface near the coral.
- Scan the Seabed: Look for deposits on the ocean floor. You'll need to manually collect them.
Identifying Sand and Clay
The reference provides distinct descriptions to help you differentiate between Sand and Clay on the seabed:
| Material | Description | Appearance in-game based on reference |
|---|---|---|
| Sand | Described as more jagged and lighter in color. | Often appears as light-colored, bumpy patches. |
| Clay | Described as a round lump and darker. | Typically seen as darker, round mounds. |
You can collect these materials by swimming up to the deposits and using your collection tool (initially your hands).
Collecting Sand and Clay is crucial for progressing in Raft, allowing you to expand your raft, craft advanced items like Smelters and Purification systems, and survive longer.
