There are different types of Weather in Raft.
Summary[ | ]
There are four main types of weather in Raft. Within specified intervals, the game engine will decide what weather comes next based on probability. Following are the types and their matching probability:
- Default (47.6%)
- Rainy Weather (14.3%)
- Calm Weather (23.8%)
- Big Waves (14.3%)
All weather types can also have the addition of fog, which may come and go on a separate timer of the regular weather change.
The duration of a specific weather event depends on the type of weather:
- Default: 10-15 minutes
- Rainy Weather: 4-6 minutes
- Calm Weather: 5-7 minutes
- Big Waves: 4-6 minutes
After the specified duration runs out, the game will decide on which weather comes next based off the probability above. It is possible for the same weather to replace the weather being replaced.
Effects[ | ]
The most notable effect of weather is rain, which will water any Crop Plots not covered by roof. The rain seems to water on the same timer as Sprinklers, which water in a cycle of every 5 seconds. Any floor or roof will block out rain so it doesn't rain into housing.
Big Waves physically affects the raft in a fairly high degree, lifting the raft as waves come by. Occasionally, drifting items are lifted through the raft enabling them to be picked up through foundations. When having Motion Sickness Mode enabled Big Waves are normal Waves.
