Raft: How to get explosive powder and what to use it for

You must keep some explosive powder on hand in Raft if you wish to start a floating farm. The purpose is to raise animals, not blow them up, so it seems paradoxical, but it's an essential ingredient in making the canisters you'll need to catch animals and transport them back to your non-explosive cages on the raft. However, getting explosive powder requires processing a few extra ingredients, so the method is a little laborious.

How do you get explosive powder in Raft?

The poisonous puffer fish is the source of explosive powder. You're sure to get some explosive gunk if you take one of those out. The likelihood that the fish will also release another lump of gunk is substantially lower. Keep a watch out for them if you're constructing battery chargers or looking for the Mayor's Key in the waters of Caravan Island. Poison puffer also lives on Plane Crash Island and Shipwreck Island. Bring your explosive goo to be processed to the Smelter.

How to get the Smelter in Raft

One of the first devices you truly don't need a blueprint for, if you don't already have one. Simply investigate one of the components needed to construct it at the workbench, and the Smelter will be made available for construction. These are the materials, along with the quantity needed to build a Smelter:

• Plank (4)
• Nail (6)
• Dry brick (6)
• Plastic (4)

You simply continue the process until you have all the powder you require after the Smelter transforms explosive ooze into explosive powder. Although some gamers claim to have discovered the explosive powder in bags or safes, we haven't actually discovered that much of it this way yet. Farming it from poison puffers is your best option.

What do you use explosive powder for?

You utilize net canisters as ammunition for the net launcher, which are made in part with explosive powder. The cannister requires the following:

• 1 explosive powder
• 4 rope
• 4 stone

And for the launcher, you need:

• 2 scrap
• 4 plastic
• 2 bolt
• 1 metal ingot

To tame an animal, aim the launcher at it and shoot. If it can be domesticated, you'll bring it back to the raft and take care of it there with grass plots. Back on your raft, you should start thinking about creating engine controls. In the event of mishaps, such as encounters with sharks or anglerfish, having a juicer on hand can help you recover your health. If you simply need a break, you might also consider going fishing for a while.
