Ever wanted to know what raft like was like for real? Join in for a creative build of a modern machine while talking about the simplicity raft life has to offer.

Heya all there virtual rafters,

Thanks for stopping by for this little semi truck build in the game of Raft. Today we’ll be chilling out listening to an interview from all the way back in 1962, originally aired on WFMT Chicago, featuring Erik Hesselberg who was one of the crew from the KonTiki Voyage. He actually has quite some interesting and counterintuitive views than one might initially assume. Something we could perhaps learn from. So odd how much of this old interview is still relevant today and it was a super interesting listen while putting together this more modern machine. I did not predetermine that the project I would build would also end up with a theme about how modern living vs. simplicity is an important debate. But sometimes we just happen to stumble across such luck.

Mods used in this build: No Pillars, Bigger Plots, Item Spawner and Auto Recipe Redux.

Hope you have a great day rafters!
