Summary
Since the recent update, I am having problems deconstructing my raft. I added a new barrel base with some barrels I found, with the intention of deconstructing it once I reached my home island, but now I can’t deconstruct it anymore. It keeps saying ‘this item relies on other items attached to it’. I can’t even break down any of the other bases of the original raft.
And the raft operation is now impacted as well. I used to be able to drop anchor and raise sail while controlling the rudder, but now I can’t. I can’t stop where I need to stop or when I want to stop. This is a major issue and has made operating the raft much more unfriendly and the gameplay extremely frustrating.
Prior to update, these issues weren’t present.
