There are two primary types of collection nets, each with different storage capacities and resource requirements:
: You don't always need a solid wall of nets. Placing nets with a one-foundation gap between them (e.g., Net - Foundation - Net) allows you to cover more area with fewer resources. Debris has a "magnetic" effect where it often snaps into a nearby net even if it doesn't hit the center. Protecting Your Investment Raft on nets
: Unlocked later via titanium research, these cost 6 Planks, 10 Ropes, and 4 Titanium Ingots . They hold up to 15 items . Crucially, while some sources suggest they are vulnerable to sharks, official wiki data and player testing indicate they are often shark-proof and do not require reinforcement. Optimal Placement Strategies There are two primary types of collection nets,
: This early-game essential costs 6 Planks, 8 Ropes, and 2 Nails . It can hold up to 10 items before it is full; once at capacity, new debris will simply float through it. Protecting Your Investment : Unlocked later via titanium
Efficiency depends on how you position your nets relative to the ocean's "flotsam stream," which is approximately and centered on your original four foundations.
