Build and Defend Your Raft Tools and checklists
Paper habits for live servers — no fake DPS calculator.
This tools hub is a clipboard, not a spreadsheet pretending to know unpublished stats. Build and Defend Your Raft is live Roblox PvP (max 18) from Raft Pirates, released 28 July 2026. Public recipe lists are incomplete, so we will not ship a damage calculator, a fake scrap optimizer, or a keybind overlay. What we can ship is a practical checklist you run with the timer, the Crew button, defenses, and loot. Start with the raid checklist. For the hold itself, use how to defend. For letters instead of boxes to tick, use the tier list.
Why not a live calculator
A calculator needs numbers. We do not have verified health values, craft costs, or cannon falloff. Saturday patches would wipe a fake sheet every week. Official art shows cannons, spikes, chests, and Hour-1 versus Hour-100 rafts — shapes, not formulas. A checklist still works when the patch lands. A made-up DPS app does not.
If a site offers a “meta calc” for this title, ask where the numbers came from. If the answer is a script GUI, close it.
What belongs on a raft clipboard
- Crew names and jobs (harpoon, sit, raid)
- Timer awareness
- Chest location (inward or you fail)
- Spike lip and cannon angle
- Harpoon perch that can return
- Shop glance for codes (none working as of 31 August 2026)
- Saturday note: screenshot the Crafting Table
The raid checklist splits those into pre-raid, mid-raid, and post-raid. That is the tool. Print it in your head.
How to use checklists with the rest of the wiki
Tick defenses against how to defend and the defense rankings. Tick kits against the weapon page. Tick footprint against raft builds. Tick people against raid roles. The hub exists so you do not start a board with “we will remember.” You will not remember.
Scrap packs (50 / 150 / 500 for 49 / 249 / 499 Robux) can sit on the pre-raid list as an optional buy if the table is starving. They are not a tool that aims the cannon.
Tools we refuse to fake
- Recipe complete lists
- Auto-raid macros
- Loadstrings (see the scripts hub)
- Discord invite buttons we cannot confirm
- Meet Frank spawn maps
- Keybind tables guessed from other raft games
If Raft Pirates later ships an official calculator or a public recipe UI dump, this hub can link it. Until then, the honest tool is a sequence of questions you ask out loud.
A 30-second hub routine
Open Crew. Name a sitter. Look at the chest. Look at the lip. Look at the cannon. Look at the timer. If any look is a shrug, do not raid. If you are the one holding, run the same looks before you harpoon out of earshot. Online PvP punishes shrugs.
Favorite the Roblox page so Saturday is not a surprise. After a patch, run the looks again before you trust last week’s ticks.
Checklists are how small crews beat mansions. The mansion forgot to ask whether anyone was home. Your clipboard will keep asking. Use the raid checklist, defend with a plan, and let the tier list argue after the timer, not during it. When a real numeric tool exists, we will add it. We will not invent one to fill this hub.
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the most common raft, raid, and code questions.
Is there a damage calculator?
No. Public stats are incomplete and Saturday patches would break a fake sheet. Use checklists instead.
What tool should I open first?
The raid checklist. Then how to defend if the lip looks wrong.
Do you have a recipe planner?
Not without inventing rows. Read the live Crafting Table and rank ideas on the tier list.
Can I automate the checklist with a script?
Do not. Executors risk the account. Tick the boxes as a crew in chat.
