Raft engine controls anchor not working – How To Fix

Fixing controls is hard work.

If you are having problems with the Engine controls not working with your Anchor, the reason is most likely that you are not using the correct Anchor. In short, only the Advanced Stationary Anchor will work with Engine controls. Because of this, using anything other than an Advanced Stationary Anchor prevents the Engine Controls from working. That said, to fix the Engine controls not working with your Anchor, you must get an Advanced Stationary Anchor to replace it in Raft.

  • Four Metal Ingot: Get Metal Ingots from melting down Metal ore in a Smelter
