Summary
Raft Dedicated Server's (RDS) are a new way to experience Raft by playing on a persistent server running at any given time. This frees up players to join and play whenever they can and is a great way to play through the game with larger groups. Uploading an existing save to a Raft Dedicated Server will allow players to continue from where they left off in coop saves. This is incredibly convenient for users who have already started a playthrough but have more friends who want to join.
