Raft: How to Prepare for Chapter 3
Raft Chapter 3 is here and it offers new destinations, enemies, characters, outfits, machines, and much more. Players would be able to experience new stories in their existing raft worlds so players don’t have to completely start over if they don’t want to. But that doesn’t mean players will be ready to explore new content because there’ll be a lot of things that you might want to get before you can enjoy the new content of the chapter.
In this guide, we’ll be going through the things that you might want to get or make for raft chapter 3.
Preparing for Chapter 3
If you are on your existing raft world, you might have some stuff safe in the storage boxes that might be used in to explore new destinations in the new chapter. If you are beginning from the start then the first thing that you want to improve is your raft.
Improve Raft
The first thing that you want to improve is your raft. Make sure that you have a suitable raft because there are new machines, items, and other general stuff that you want to place on your raft. You cannot do that if you don’t have enough space. Make sure to make your raft big enough so you can put all kinds of needs on the raft. However, if you have played through the previous chapter then you probably know that you have to put Receiver and Antenna setup with engines and a sale to explore past Balboa. Make room for your storage items and keep collecting materials because you are going to need them.
Materials That You Should Gather
Make storage boxes in which you can store different materials. As there are new recycler and trading posts added in the game, you can get your materials from there as well can trade them with other materials. You can collect leaves and plastic again and store them in the storage boxes. The nets on the raft will collect many materials and junk but make sure to store the things that you need.
For the 3rd chapter fill up your storage boxes with every resource you can think of. The resources that you need the most are the Metal Oars and Ingots for the machines. The new machines and new stuff required a decent amount of titanium to build so, you probably have to do a lot of treasure hunting on different islands. You are also going to need a decent amount of Copper Ingots for the tier 2 battery. If you are willing to make tons of batteries then you probably going to need tons of copper to power all of those new machines. You’ll likely also need circuit boards to craft the machines so it’s worth stocking up on vine goo as well. Additionally, scrap is also a very useful resource because every advanced blueprint requires scrap and it’s also a required ingredient for the existing batteries, meaning it will be necessary for the advanced batteries as well. As there are also new tools added to the game which require scrap to make them. Scrap is pretty easy to grind, an island has roughly two stacks of scrap on it and if you prioritize collecting it then you can get a chest full of scrap in no time.
Food
You can also make an automated garden on your raft but it’s not evident if you’ll be able to grow these yet or trade for them but the chilis and the turmeric that you see in the trading post menu seem to be the perfect foods to grow on your raft. You can also put these in the new juice recipes. You get certain buffs after meals and drinks. It’ll be useful to have a dedicated tree farm on your raft. Having easy access to coconuts, mangoes, and bananas seems like a no-brainer for juicers. You can put two rows of three tree plots with a sprinkler behind them and then one more tree plot on either side. In that way, they can all get water, and it’s relatively space-efficient. For medium crop plots for watermelon and pineapples, you can arrange them in a little cubby for optimal space usage and you can even pack a total of 10 medium crop plots in the small area to be automatically watered by a raised sprinkler. The chilis and Turmeric will be in a small crop plot, so in the same area as well as the medium crop plots you can fit a total of 73 small crop plots. You can also gather mushrooms, red berries, strawberries, etc. from different islands when you go treasure hunting.
There are a number of biomes that players will have to repopulate on each map of the game. Biomes are the main goals of each map and after completing the initial goals, you will unlock the biome goals that you will have to complete. One of the biomes that players will have to create is the Forest which is essential for calling certain animals.
In this guide, we’ll tell you how to create the Forest Biome in Terra Nil.
Creating the Forest Biome
The Forest Biome is among the trickiest biomes to create because it can only be populated on Nutritious Ash Tiles. As the map’s soil will be dull and when you clean the soil, it will not contain any Nutrition. However, if you planted some Fynbos Flowers, it will spread some nutrition on the tiles that can be used to turn them into a forest. Now, in order to plant the Fynbos Flowers, you will have to create Fynbos Biome which can only be done by Beehive tool.
Once you have made enough of Fynbos Biome, it will unlock a new tool named “Solar Amplifier”. Solar Amplifier is one of the Tier 2 Buildings and it will cost 30 Leaves to plant. It needs electricity to work so, you will have to place it in the vacancy of the Turbine. Make sure that the Turbine is also near the Fynbos Biome so, you can target it when the Solar Amplifier is installed.
Click the Solar Amplifier and then select the area of the Fynbos Biome to start a fire. After selecting the area where you want to start a fire, it will turn the Fynbos Biome and the near area of the biome into Ash Tiles and you will see certain tiles on which you will be able to place another tool named “Arboretum” Arboretum can be placed on the Husks of the burnt buildings and it will create a forest in its surrounding by using the Nutritious Ash Tiles.
You can place it on all of the burnt buildings in the required area to turn it into the Forest Biome. For the rest of the area, you can use the Irrigator to grow greenery again and start installing the other buildings.
The Wetlands Biome is one of the biomes that players will have to repopulate on different maps of the game. As you complete the starting tasks of the map, you will unlock new quests of populating the map with a certain percentage of different biomes.
In this guide, we’ll tell you how to create the Wetlands Biome in Terra Nil.
Creating Wetlands Biome
The Wetlands Biome can only be repopulated near the water area and it should be on a low level. Meaning, if there is a tile that is near the water but the surface is higher, then the Wetlands will not be able to populate there. You can only populate the Wetlands Biome on a low level near the Water. In order to start creating the Wetlands Biome, you will be required a tool named “Hydroponium”. Players will have to unlock the Hydroponium tool either by completing the starting tasks on the game or growing greenery on almost all of the map.
When you unlock the tasks for biomes, you will also unlock several tools under Tier 2 Buildings. The starting tools will only show under the Tier 1 Buildings which can be seen by pressing the 1 Key on the Keyboard. In order to view the Tier 2 Buildings, press the 2 Button on the Keyboard. The Tier 2 Buildings are specifically for the biomes and you will unlock Hydroponium under Tier 2 buildings.
The Hydroponium Tool can only be planted on Irrigator which is on a low level near the water. Now, if you have placed some of the Irrigator near the water on a low level, then you can place the Hydroponium on the Irrigator to start turning the Green Land into a Wetlands Biome. It will cover a certain area in the Wetlands Biome. The Hydroponium tool costs 50 Leaves and if you don’t have an Irrigator on a low level near the water, then you will have to plant some irrigator tools near the water on the map. After that, place the required number of Hydroponium tools on Irrigator to complete the Wetlands Biome task.
There are different biomes that players will have to restore in each map of the game. As you complete the starting tasks of the map, you will unlock new quests of populating the map with a certain percentage of different biomes. One of the biomes that players will have to repopulate is Fynbos Biome.
In this guide, we’ll tell you how to create Fynbos Biome in Terra Nil.
Creating Fynbos Biome
As from the name of Fynbos Biome, players will have to populate the required area on the map with Fynbos Flowers to create the Fynbos Biome. Fynbos Flowers can only be generated with a tool named “Beehive”. Players will have to unlock the Beehive tool either by completing the starting tasks on the game or growing greenery on almost all of the map.
It will unlock new tools for you and if you have completed the 100% greenery task, you will get the task of populating the map with different biomes. Now, when you unlock the tasks for biomes, you will also unlock several tools under Tier 2 Buildings. The starting tools will only show under the Tier 1 Buildings which can be seen by pressing the 1 Key on the Keyboard. In order to view the Tier 2 Buildings, press the 2 Button on the Keyboard.
You will see a couple of new tools in Tier 2 Buildings and one of them will be the Beehive. Beehive requires a grown tree to place on and it will provide you with Leaves and Fynbos Flowers. Placing a Beehive will cost you 35 Leaves and it will populate the area with Fynbos Flowers around the tree. It will increase the progress bar of Fynbos Biome in your tasks and you need to place a certain number of Beehives in order to complete the Fynbos Biome task.
