Learn to craft the Receiver and Antennas in Raft. Gather Planks, Plastic, Scrap, and Circuit Boards to research and build this essential raft component.

To craft the Receiver, you'll first need to research it at your Research Table. The materials are 8 Planks, 6 Plastic, 4 Scrap, 2 Circuit Board, and 1 Antenna. Circuit Boards are crafted from 2 Copper Ingot and 1 Plastic. Copper Ingot is obtained by smelting Copper Ore, found on large islands. You'll also need 3 Antennas, each requiring 4 Scrap and 1 Circuit Board. Place the Receiver on your raft, ideally in a central location. The Antennas must be placed on separate foundations, at least one block away from each other and the Receiver, and have an unobstructed view of the sky. Power the Receiver with a Battery, crafted from 2 Copper Ingot, 1 Plastic, and 1 Scrap. Once powered, it will display a frequency and a green dot indicating the Radio Tower's direction.
