People complain about rafts; they're too slow.. well yeah they're a bunch of driftwood held together with baling wire and duct tape.. err scrap leather and resin; they don't carry any cargo.. well duh they are a raft, you were expecting a cargo hold and an outboard motor.. I'm shocked they have a sail!

Good news though, I've found a uses for rafts beyond the obvious early uses. They're helpful when building docks. They're great for helping you pave the way through rough spots for bigger and better ships. Of course those aren't new - this next one might be.

Rafts are great for harvesting Tin along those tiny rivers in deep ravines - plus they're completely discard-able by that point. Troll attack? Screw the raft; pop a stam potioin, hit Eithkyr power, jump for the bank and climb that hill at a run and jump before you become Troll leftovers.

Anyone else have an unusual or uncommon use for the raft?
