BUG: Stuck on Starter Yland / Can't claim raft

[BUG: Stuck on Starter Yland / Can't claim raft]

I see, I"m positive that it was possible before since I ventured off on a raft just 2 days ago just fine. I had never crafted a boat but rather a raft to get off starter Yland and then jump straight to Ship.
Good to know it's at least intentional and not a bug, albeit the Codex might be updated with the fact that rafts cannot be claimed or used for ocean travel  - it makes sense logic wise ofc unless you're in a very desperate situation, but it is something that used to be possible in the last version.

I had assumed that boats require Planks to build (which require a saw, which requires metal that is not available on the starter Yland)

 

Looking forward to try the rest of the update this weekend then!

[BUG: Stuck on Starter Yland / Can't claim raft]

TLDR:

• v1.8.0.115385
• Rafts not automatically claimed when crafted and mounted
• Rafts cannot be claimed via Q Radial Menu
• Cannot leave starter Ysland due to above issue

Steps to Reproduce:

• Clear world + character progress
• Start exploration game
• Choose 'no tutorial'
• Craft raft and mount it (observe that it's not automatically claimed)
• Exit raft and press Q looking at it (observe that there is no claimed raft and no option to claim it)
• Sail to edge of map
• Press M -> Region Map (observe that you cannot choose another Yland)

 

Heya, I recently played the game before the update on a fresh start and crafted a raft which was automatically claimed and sailed to another Yland with it.
When the 1.8 update dropped yesterday I managed to convince my sceptical friend to try the game with me and we did a fresh start as I did before.
However, with the update it seems that rafts are no longer automatically claimed - nor claimable - meaning you cannot leave the Starting Yland.

My friend quit pretty shortly after and I didn't explore the rest of Noob Yland but from what I recall there is no metal on that Yland, making crafting a boat or ship impossible - rafts are the only option.

Am I missing anything here or is this a bug?
