Every time you say you need more Beavers Biffa, you should think yourself lucky, as you got a lot more beavers than RCE at moment! 😂

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

I know lol 😆

[@lordrork5884]

That's because RCE doesn't normally deal with beavers, *if you know what I mean*.

[@RealCivilEngineerGaming]

Too soon... 😢

[@Frameton.]

Do not switch off your breeding pods! Especially not for saving water, they consume one water per day, half of what one beaver consumes and you pay dearly for not producing more beavers.

[@dominikp7649]

Yo Biffa. I love your videos. I recently was working on a map in hard mode and I made some observations that might be usefull, so I'll share it. 1. You are trying to irrigate the map, but you are wasting a ton of green land on berries. Ironteeth seem to ingnore the berries when they have other food. It isn't even contributing to their wellbeing score. You need them only for reproducing, and already have full storage, so deffinitely you should shrink it and build the farms. 2. More farms and water production will allow you to expand your bever population, which you need a lot. On normal mode it should be easy for you to go for at least 60 beavers I think. 3. Rather than irrigating the small area in the center of the base, you should make use of a lot of green land that you have already avalable elsewhere, like neer those new floodgates

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

Good tips thankyou 🙏

[@williamtoccijr9579]

Did not expect an RCE appearance in today’s episode!! That was awesome!! And what a bridge review score!!!

[@HenryAshman]

Nice work with the canals, although you may find it drains back down into the rest of the river/lake during droughts, you can use dams instead of platforms every now and again to "chunk off" sections so it doesn't drain as easily.

[@andresperez8658]

You should build a couple of pumps on the bridge across the damn, closer to your center. This way you can fix your water supply.

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

[@AdamHinckley]

think RCE would love that bridge that you built across to the dam, did not expect him to be in it

[@Simon-fg8iz]

1-wide channels don't water the crops much... that was a change made a couple of months ago. You should put a 3×3 "pool" at the end of the channel to get more irrigation out of it. You don't need a through-channel to the other side, but it's a good idea to terminate the channel with a swimming pool and get extra benefit for the beavers.

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

Nice idea 💡

[@Frameton.]

@@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines 1 wide channels also have a much higher evaporation rate than 3 wides. I think 3x faster out of "balancing" reasons. So a 1 wide channel evaporates as much water as a 3 wide, but only holds a 1/3

[@nurmr]

Yea, better to do a 3x3 pool with a water dump than a 1 wide channel. You can put platforms over the 3x3 dump, and buildings on top, so it doesn't actually waste much space.

[@mgunter]

Is it still 15 squares for the same level?

[@keithduthie]

With a water dump, a water gauge, and the automation mod you can then turn on and off the water dump to keep the area full but not overflowing, too.

[@iankoladay]

Always enjoy the crossovers. I was almost wondering if a mention of the strongest shape would show up...and poof we get a surprise review

[@mikejefferys]

That "path" is a daft idea Make it lower as beavers can swim Would save a ton of planks and logs and they'd get wet fur which they like 😂 3:25

[@l.sirois2915]

Now that you have TNT, since you worry about saving enough water in "uptown," why not dig a 2 or 3-deep trench to increase the amount of water upstream? Easy and convenient way of making sure your crops don't die during droughts. 😊

[@ChasePelton]

That cameo at 20:30 though. I did an actual double take.

[@ragerancher]

Put the water storages next to the pumps to export. They won't empty them otherwise (unless you have another storage set to receive), that's why your water collection is so inefficient, they are walking all the way to the 3 medium tanks in the middle because the ones next to the pumpers aren't emptying.

[@namelessbeast4868]

Later in the series, I think it would be good to reorganize the position of some buildings and redo the paths. Your beavers are wasting a lot of time moving between their tasks/workplaces/food and water. I really like the paths above the waterways, there's something so satisfying about seeing the map become greener!

[@donzapatero4808]

I didnt know there would be a bridge review but i am happy there was

[@Klondike1000]

You should check out the "Simple Triggers" mod. It will open and close your floodgates and turn on and off your water pumping stations automatically when droughts or badtides start and stop. It's a great quality of life mod that has saved by butt more than once during a badtide.

[@keithduthie]

Also linking to water gauges, so you can automatically leave floodgates closed until the contamination is actually purged.

[@grenwalis]

You can also look further down the power menu at the engines. Get some of those going and free up beavers from the shaming wheel.

[@followerofthemantle3489]

if you connected those two paths, with some creative planning, you could have a strong current running through there, making that new area perfect for power generation and industry.

[@matthewstic2]

[@0Defensor0]

Biffa, come on, that bridge is just ridiculous! Building a small connection outside of the floodgates would have the exact same effect on distance, while being infinitely cheaper!

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

But it's fun 😁

[@georgeashbolt3330]

Just a little tip with the irigation. Its been updated recently so the 1x1 doesnt irigate nearly as much as it used to. To get the full area you need to make the water source at least 3x3.

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

👍

[@Groovemaster1981]

I'd try to make automated power (waterwheels) your highest priority. All functions you'll want later require a lot of power. As soon as you unlock domes, you can have a continuous bad water flow. With that, you can have continuous power from water wheels.

Love the bridge! :D Also, for your own sanity, keep 6 water pumps running all the time. For a big chunk of this video, you had at most 3 water pumps running creating a major bottleneck for your breeding pods thus not getting enough workers for your other workplaces. Usually, the only time when the beavers shouldn't be pumping their logs is when there is a drought :P

Dig your initial channel deeper so it can store more water and you won't have to worry about it going dry on long droughts. Likewise your new canals should also be one deeper.

[@DrakeGamer85]

If it has tea in it, I will vote for #4 always! 😆

[@anialator1000000]

You can significantly increase the spread of green by making sections of the canal to be 2 or especially 3 wide. one wide is only about 6 tiles on either side, while two wide is 8, and three wide is about 16 tiles. I believe its a 2x3 or 3x3 pool of water needed to get the maximum irrigation area, and that is huge. Also just having underground space when done right is a very useful. Having pathways all underneath with ladders to bring them up right to the dense buildings on top can get things very compact, especially if you use storages as most of the base.

[@clem9796]

Hey Biffa, you could drop stairs into the aqueduct near your town center so the beavers get the +1 wet fur buff for happiness, same with the bridge 🙂. Loving the series, good sir!

toward the dam with levee behind it you can put some platforms down and put down some water pump to help with the water issue. this way the beavers doesn't have to go to the far edge of the dam to pump water.

[@jayzo]

put all your water extractors in the reservoir where there's loads of water and use those water outlets to feed water to the plants up top.

[@chuipi]

i found when i played that prioritizing the pumps instead of the tanks worked better, also setting the tanks close to the pumps as distributors works best, that way the haulers will take water from those tanks to the other tanks, hope that helps

I think a priority should be more food variety, and increasing the lifespans of your beavers and work towards a population of 100 happy, healthy, and most importantly, industrious beavers! Loving the series, really looking forwards to you fiddling with the settlement system, decentralized beavers that dont have to walk far are much more efficient. Also, prioritizing everything for the haulers is just as good as not prioritizing anything when you only have so few beavers doing it

[@cmedalis]

[@jayleeson8517]

Biffa , try making a water recirculation build so you pump water up into a channel that flows from the lake to the top near your water source, this will keep the water flowing in drought and bad water times

[@fokeyjo]

With your new 1-wide channels, maybe put some power water wheels in them? Also, why not put a deep water pump (or two or three) on the other side of the huge lake (opposite of the side they’re on now) so the beavers don’t have to go so far in the first place?

[@spikeborn1984]

I think you probably can unlock the 2 or 3 level dynamite and make the top and maybe the middle stream lot deeper. Keep the dams the way they are. Then you d9nt need to mass with the dams levels when you deal with droughts or bad water. But this my opinion, it totally up to you.
