Picture the scene: you're floating along aimlessly in an endless ocean, sun on your back, trying to block out the thought that a relentless bloodthirsty shark may eat you at any moment. The only thing missing from this compartmentalist's dream is a nice, cool glass of whatever fruit you can get your hands on.
That's absolutely something that you can achieve in Raft with the addition of the Juicer item. With the right recipes, it can create drinkable concoctions that not only satiate your thirst and hunger, but some will even give you special, temporary, bonuses to your attributes.
Making The Juicer
The first thing you're going to need before you start chugging smoothies is a Juicer. Research it at your Research Table first and then gather these materials:
- 6 Plank
- 6 Plastic
- 1 Bolt
- 4 Vine Goo
- 1 Circuit Board
Once you've placed the Juicer on your Raft, you're ready to start mixing those fruits (and the occasional vegetable). You can also pin your favourite recipe cards to the back of the Juicer itself, so you'll always know what to add.
Don't forget you're also going to need a battery to power the Juicer
Juicer Recipes
You'll find recipe cards all around the world map for your Juicer. While they don't unlock anything you can pre-select, they do give you a list of ingredients that if added in the correct quantity to your device, will produce a specific consumable drink. Recipe cards can also be purchased from the Trading Stations that you find when visiting various islands, although some of these are gated behind some of the higher reputation tiers with those vendors.
You can also purchase ingredients from the Trade Post so make sure you have your trash cubes handy!

Now that you have access to an array of smoothies, it's worth noting that it's nearly always a good idea to take the time to stock up on ingredients and create these juices before heading out on an expedition. Especially towards the end-game, you never know how long you'll be away from your raft, and occasionally, food and drink can be hard to come by in the wild. Having to stop whatever you're doing to limp back to your raft just for a drink of water can be frustrating at the best of times, but with a few of these smoothies in your inventory, you'll never be interrupted in your quest for Utopia ever again.
