[@veerakuusela5005]

Always excited for Timberborners! Btw, as you need to build levies with logs and clear away trees for the aquaduct, it would be more efficient to place lumberjack posts to cut down the trees instead of using builders to destroy them. That way you would have more logs and they would also be a lot closer to the build site already as builders can use the logs from lumberjack posts.

[@gisela_oliveira]

I think he tried this before, but it was taking too long

[@quakerdevil08]

It depends on how many trees and if you have unemployed beavers. In this case I'd demolish at the highest priority.

[@captaindelta43]

The intro of these episodes are just gold like the rest of episode itself. Matt just using his childish and at the same time Engineering brain to help Beavers, to pump their logs , shame architects , make efficient shapes structures, over Engineering some things while totally forgetting about food and water during a drought .

Ah yes, Heavy Metalton is sooo self-sufficient. Great job Matt, just stellar work. I'm not sure you realized, but the beaver stopped pumping his log because the storage tanks were full.

Interesting.. I usually stop pumping my log when my storage tank is empty.. Oh well

He should buy the bigger tanks

Ye also, am i the only one or are the Thumbnails for Timberborners a bit too far in future cause the aquaduct is way not finished, and the super ooper looper ultra mega giant dam was also 1 ep too far in a Thumbnail XD

[@buddywinger5014]

I do too😊

[@TATEBOI88]

11:45 you can use the dynamite in front of water source to make the area deeper and you really no need to wait to end drought and wait till water rise

[@skylark.kraken]

Btw, each cubic unit of water is only 5 water units. You just don't get much water out in rivers, the tanks hold an insane amount of water. During dry seasons leave the water to keep land hydrated

[@blackoak4978]

I run a trench system under my colony roads and hook it up with a water dump, then build a butt ton of water pumps and large water storage. It minimizes water evaporation while keeping the land green, and it is independent of the flood/drought cycle

[@ShawnSansonetti]

So glad you didn't abandon this series. This episode is proof there are still disasters and murders left in the colony! 😆

[@cleyfaye]

Starving and dehydrated, in the middle of a fresh water river and across a field of carrots. Truly the best beaver.

[@gavinm894]

These episodes are just not long enough. I could easily sit and watch a 2 hour episode each week.

[@shannonsimpson2356]

I dunno bout 2 hrs, but definitely 30-45 minutes would be better. Enough time to actually get some sh!t done, show a lil more progress.

[@10EightyPlays]

3 hour?

[@TheNukedNacho]

Another suggestion: use more dynamite to deepen the river at the “three way intersection” that’s upstream from The Mega Super Ooper Dooper Uber Mega Giga Dam™️. The area at 1:50 where you clip through to see the water depth.

[@FranciscaPf]

If you are ever running out of water or food in a specific district you can always migrate your Beavers over to a district with water or food so they can drink water, eat and not die of thirst. It's quicker than having someone have to take water over to them

[@blackoak4978]

Requires a LOT more attention though. I've done it for the odd desperate project that needed doing, and I was always on the verge of killing them, lol

[@WJS774]

@@blackoak4978 Think she means as an emergency, not as in you cycle beavers in and out of a work district with no water repeatedly.

More than any other game I can think of, I have zero interest in playing Timberborn myself but I'm absolutely 1000% stoked for every new episode of Timberborners :) So glad you're continuing Season 4!

[@WolfgangDoW]

As an engineer you need to try the *Bridge Method* of building and mining. Timberborn actively encourages bridge engineering! Beavers can't build more than 1 block above them, but can build infinity DOWN. So if you build a bridge across a space you can have them building stacks over every square on the bridge plus 1 sideways all directions, rapidly speeding up building long walls, or placing dynamite on the same area repeatedly (cover the area you want to mine out in bridges) and many other uses. So if you build a lil tower up then build bridges out in opposite directions and keeping bridging along while filling in everything under the bridges you can build aquaducts hella fast Credit to M0ro for him teaching me this idea on his amazing extra hard mode let's play series Also please use large water tanks not lil ones, so much more efficient!!!

[@PcItalian]

Honestly considering being a patron just because of this series. I absolutely love timeberborners.

[@Nick-hi9gx]

The tense music stopping when the emergency seemed solved...and then immediately starting back up was really good. Well edited.

[@abcdefgcdefg5178]

I love this series, you should make a check list of things to check and do every time a drought starts, should help in the long run

[@Potato8884]

This series is genuinely so exciting- man the aqueduct is so wild

[@NeXtarProducts]

Top notch Matt! I was wondering if you'd do something with that huge cistern-looking landmass. An aqueduct was just what Timberborners needed

[@theirishbean1783]

If you're playing through steam, you can join the experimental branch and get access to all of the in progress stuff, like 1x1 tile buildings, and better working storage systems, its worth it trust me. only negative is its incompatible with older saves so you're gonna lose this world if/when you switch over. But there are so many positives, you'd be a sucker to not at least try it out xD good luck, timberborner, its such a great game honestly, suits your content perfectly. EDIT: Its through right clicking on timberborn in the left panel, going to properties, then selecting the betas tab, and there should be a drop down menu with the experimental branch just waiting for you to join UwU

[@JP-hg1vb]

Seriously need a Timberborners episode released daily! This and City Skylines are the best.

[@rabidclone3917]

Matt! At 18:00 you don't need 2 different size flood gates, you can make them the same height and lower the middle 2 by 1 block! Then you can still travel across it :)

[@SamCanada1]

In spite of the first 22 seconds, this is still my favourite RCE series. 👍

[@1871bert]

What I would do is have a tripple flood gate over in aquaducington in the "bowl" to flow back rather than rip up or changer your flood gates in the river. That way you can send more water back. And it would be less resources used

[@Khaisz.]

Last episode I was considering suggesting you build a town over at those pillars but ended up never doing so, I'm glad you are building there. Gonna be interesting to see what you make of that place.

[@applebeignet]

Matt please be reminded of deep water pumps, they have longer logs to pump with. IIRC You researched those in the previous season but the shorter basic version in this one.

[@yousawnothing]

He can't use them this season because they're Ironteeth faction only. He's using the Folktails this season, and they only get access to the short logs (poor guys).

[@WJS774]

@@yousawnothing The Folktails also have a level 2 pump that needs unlocking though, unless that is newer than this season.

[@yousawnothing]

@@WJS774 Yes, those came out some time after this video was published, not to mention recorded. It is nice that they get a better water pump though, considering the importance of water in Timberborn.

[@nathanc6443]

21:33 i think i know why the heavy metalton guy was not pumping its because the water storage is only 2 small water storage and i am interested in how this mega aqueduct will be made

[@liamnehren1054]

if you build a single block floodgate at the entrance of your downstream reservoir you can ensure the maximum amount held in that most important area. Also you may want to consider diverting both streams past that main area to the reservoir once you have water pumps, since then you can keep it at maximum water height constantly, pumped up from the reservoir.

[@azazeldeath]

I love this series. Honestly a mod I dream of, and desire so bad. Well two are; * Unlimited district size, so my beavers can all remain in one monster hive city with no districts. * Actual dams where the water flood gate is at the bottom. * And finally the ability to make true aqueducts that can be built so you can have water flowing beneath in one direction, and below in another.

[@ValentineC137]

the bottom floodgates and the aqua duct issue is because the game engine isn't made to support open air below water level unlimited district is already a thing you can do, I believe, and making it too big for your pc tanks performance

[@azazeldeath]

@@ValentineC137 sadly ik, one can dream though regarding the floodgates and aqueducts. Thankfully my pc is pretty tanky, not trying to show off, so not worried about the performance hit. If you don't mind, can you share how to get the unlimited district size? Or where to find the mod if its one.

[@Halo-wb2dz]

Matt, I hope you read onto water dumps. :) One hole only, not a huge area like before. Let the beavers live hehe.

[@Dancan799]

While I love the idea of your over the top designs the inefficiency is killing me 😂 Also try and get some windmills in they are great for power most of the time, hook them up to high up batteries and they are amazing They need at least 2 bocks between them but proximity doesn’t reduce efficiency so stack them close together if you can

[@toughsun2704]

The batteries in the new updates are really cool and better than sticking a bunch of shaming wheels everywhere which is way worse (I was up to 8 every drought in a recent run lol) I think inefficiency comes from RCE playing in duct-tape-will-fix-it-for-now-engineer(ed)-emergency mode. He paused the game to marvel at the water rising at the end of the drought, but he didn't pause during the Great Thirst Crisis of 2022, for example. It's part of his style and why his videos are so much fun.

[@blackoak4978]

I typically build my wind mill field on a platform over my largest reservoir. Lots of room to expand, out of the way of most builds, and can often be tapped into by multiple colonies

[@toughsun2704]

@@blackoak4978 Does height matter for the windmills? I thought it did but I guess I never checked now that I think about it

[@JMIDay]

I have a tip that will help. If you put a powered mechanical water pump from your large mega damn to your upper farming area it will keep it wet all the time. And placing it on top of damn blocks any extra water will flow back down and not flood your farm land. I use that trick all the time on hard mode so I don’t have to watch water levels closely. You will only need to let water out if your lower reservoir runs dry.

[@The.Pickle]

*HINT...evaporation is calculated only on the top level of a tile. More surface means more evaporation, deep hole but small diameter means less evaporation. If you're spreading all that water across a one block deep area, all along that spiral "helix," then ALL that water is subject to evaporation!

[@grassfolk]

Get that science underway, golums are the future!

[@erinkarp]

I am LOVING this series!

[@Makro3d]

I honestly think the various Beavers will be in trouble next episode because there's no way the aqueduct is finished in time. Here's to hoping I'm wrong because we need to see the Villes thrive.

[@vinno97]

Seeing how much water he's been wasting this wet season... I'm looking forward to the next episode

[@xxportalxx.]

Yeaaah I was thinking he oughta focus on making heavymetalton more stable so that way he can continue after he flops the main village lmfao

[@seventucker3232]

All I know is.... beavers are going to die in greater numbers next episode

[@Abion47]

My concern is that even if he does get it done in time, the way it's built he can't get water to his main area until that giant reservoir fills up and that probably won't happen in one wet season.

[@xxportalxx.]

@@Abion47 yeaaah I don't really get why he's got two aqueducts, the one carrying water in can easily be used to bring it out as well, and bc of how it's built you could also use it as a bypass (since it's lower in the middle).

[@richardearl9711]

If you blast the base of the aquaduct on the storage bowl side of the river, down to the same depth as the river floor, then you do not need a separate "return" which will save some resources. And if you put the overflow for the storage bowl on your original mega storage idea side then the overflow can fill that.

[@CRneu]

lol Matt is a great example of why engineers have specification checklists. He forgets to build stuff like ladders or have a order of operations which results in scrambling at the last minute to fix it.

[@Blake-mo9re]

BUILD PATHS EVERYWHERE! The districts have a build and max distance space as u kinda seen. But if u add more paths everywhere u want to build it will increase thier building distance by about 7 tiles. If there's no path to the area it stops about 7 tiles from the nearest place. Add paths ontop of the leaves and other places in the future.

[@Blake-mo9re]

I see you started to do that, but just trying to help make sure you do that

[@v.florio]

Pro tip: the game actually tell you how many beavers your district needs. In the top left corner there is a "open jobs" indicator, so you can expand your colony to match that number

[@martinbaker1609]

This series is one of my favorite things to watch on KZbin. I look forward to each new episode.

[@zxuiji]

You can keep your beavers & carrots watered if instead of dams at the top of your reservoir you just put levies there and leave a column in the middle empty, just make sure to stick a dam further downstream to catch that water instead, stick 1 row of levies underneath those dams and a row of levies along the river edge to keep your carrots watered for longer, basically the higher the levy stack at the rivers edge the better (haven't tried higher than a single row of levies, did with land on a custom map and it worked well, never dried out once)

[@Free-Asbestos]

RCE needs to remember that he only has a few water sources in the map. I don’t think he’ll be able to fill up his new reservoir every wet season because the wet seasons are so short in hard mode. If he wants to fill up that massive reservoir, I think that the only way it’ll be possible is if he dams up the strongest shape river to prevent water from leaking off the side of the map and if he sends it all to the super uper mega giga dam (if he doesn’t I think he’ll have the choice of filing up the new reservoir or the current one in Heavymetalton, but not both).

I feel like there should be some life improvements in upcoming episodes; 1. Replace all the tiny water storage with the biggest ones. This will give more water for smaller space. 2. Replace half the carrots with the other food crops. This will make happier beavers with better work ethics. 3. Remove the very first two dams that was added in and bomb down two extra levels those dams held so the mega dam will hold all that space and more water potential in longer droughts.
