Yes! I came to the comments to say the same thing!

@GoldenBloxxed it only saves space if you can access the doors with stairs! Otherwise they can't use the building

[@clifdweller]

This is a mechanic i want to experiment with the early access if the forest expands from any group of trees maybe prioritize thin strips in the living trees first to see if you can get some forest expansion for free early on then leave the onetime resources for 2nd priority. It didnt seem like during the time it took to get to the living trees much expansion happened

[@rebeccaconlon9743]

@@clifdweller it took a little while in the demo, wood recommend with the 3 logs wood, but the more wood they produce the longer they take to grow. Will do experiments on it when I get the game. Will also look for people to play test a few of my custom maps too

I am so gonna love the Map Editor mode: I have two ideas for customs: 1, Flood Plains: A massive map with enough of a starting area for regular play, but the kicker: The majority of the map is actually under a level of water. Moving out into the water to put levies and other walls in to manipulate the flow of water and make more land for expansion is needed. 2, Three Gorges: A nice little one for "ease" as there's a single river that runs through a fairly deep canyon. With water access to start, raising the water level to certain points moves and opens up new canyons to water flow, further expanding workable green areas as well as access to water power. Can you raise it all the way to the top?!

I love that flood plains idea. Basically the Netherlands, but with beavers. Would absolutely name the new beaver city-to-be Amsterdam.

[@dewotion]

First one is the Netherlands simulation? XD

[@heyzeus97862]

you should put a log pile on the other side of the river so when you grow trees, the lumberjacks don't spend so much time taking logs all the way back

[@chandank2051]

👍👍👍

[@Nuke-MarsX]

True

[@RealCivilEngineerGaming]

True but green land is limited so not sure...

[@Lord_Foxy13]

That would be more efficient from a logistical point of view... The lumberjacks wouldn't have as far to go to bring it to storage, and the person making planks wouldn't have to go as far to get logs

[@nepfain8932]

what i really like about your videos, is you always explaining every video from the beginning. even if you played that game for multiple months, you always talk like i'm watching the game for the first time and i appreciate it. also your gentle voice rounds everything up

[@anonbefallen4807]

Remember the Dry Season only gets longer as you go on and if you're seriously gonna increase your population by 8 it may be worth making another round of water barrels. Especially since your current ones are full.

[@huckbear4249]

I was thinking about this as well, he likely will have some die, so it depends on if he keeps all 8 tanks running after the first batch. He will likely be at like 12 for the next dry season vs about 8 during this one. These are very loose numbers, but hopefully he will plan for increased population still.

Dang Motorway Matt no mercy

[@bradschrader2805]

I've managed to make a mildly working algorithm for keeping beavers mildly happy. Small Water Tank = # of Beavers / 3 Water Pumps = # of Small Water Tanks / 2 Lodge = Small Water Tanks I literally can leave my game without checking up on them. Also you are awesome. You are the reason I started playing Timberborn.

[@DraconicDuelist]

I'd recommend adding a second dam (or some kind of bridge) to connect your water pump section down to your lumber mill. Greatly reduce the amount of walk-time the beavers have to do. Saw where someone said you can put paths under the river and the beavers will swim across, so if that works it'd be easier.

[@BrandonYates]

haha finally man! I've been wanting to see more of the game, all the restarts were such a tease.

[@philippciunis]

Absolutely agree, can't wait for more :)

[@sneakysoviet9]

In regards to that forestry you were setting up by the end of the video, birch and pine will probably be good in the short run, but you'll want maple primarily, since they have the best log/day ratio, and once you have the maples fully grown, you'll likely want to convert completely to maple for the long haul. Planning ahead on where you want to build at and leaving space to place paths is also a good idea, as is getting access to verticality early for stacking storage facilities.

[@skillfulfighter23]

Maples give 1 wood every 3 days, pine gives 1 wood every 6 days, birch gives 1 wood every 9 days. It is much more efficient to do maples, though the initial harvest will take a while. Once you've got maples though, your storage will likely fill up before all the maples are cut, so you will likely constantly have a set of maples waiting to be cut

[@NotMyActualName_]

I wonder if having all the water storage centralized is part of the problem. Might want to spread the water tanks around so that the beavers can get a drink closer to their jobs. It would be less efficient during the wet season but more efficient in the dry season.

[@nick2253]

In the beginning, it makes sense to keep the water tanks near the pumps to improve the water throughput. As your city expands, however, you want to start distributing the water throughout the city, and relying on your extra beavers in order to haul the water around. But until you get enough beavers, you want to minimize that amount of busy work.

[@simonneff3831]

[@colingallaher5761]

More timberborn please I have yet to see a series on this game where they get really far. Also your humor is a huge plus

[@StainlessHelena]

I am away from my computer for a few weeks so these vids are my only source of beaver action. Keep em coming.

[@drowsylettuce3031]

PLEASE make this a series, I’ve been watching this game for a while and would love to see your take on it.

[@Rime_in_Retrograde]

So I was curious and did a bit of math: Birch - 1 log / 9 days = 0.111 logs/day Pine - 2 logs / 12 days = 0.1666 logs/day Maple - 8 logs / 24 days = 0.3333 logs/day So basically Maple is 3x as efficient to grow as Birch and twice as efficient as Pine. Birch is the 'short term reward' of the lumber options; Maple is best option overall, but requires a bit more time and planning.

I think they can walk over it but you still need a path so it counts as "road" for range calculation.

That valley in the dead area behind your camp looks to have the potential for a very deep dammed up lake

[@michaels.3709]

Looking forward to seeing that megadam! I've been itching to play around with the water mechanics since the demo. Maybe try filling that 1-deep basin just north of your old lumberjack flags with the "water dump" to expand the fertile land.

[@CaesarTaybirius]

I was alittle on the fence to buying this as early access, but you've sold it this is amazing

[@BumMcFluff]

When planning your layout, it would help things a lot to pause the game, as every second matters. There is such a small margin for error and your beavers aren't architects, so you can't just throw their lives away.

[@bahutu802]

It is so interesting how one can optimize things in the game. Positioning of buildings, paths layout, prioritizing buildings, ... I don't know many other games which look cute and childish at first but offer a whole lot of complexity

[@indigodarkwolf]

Many buildings like farmhouses have an internal storage, and workers will fill that storage. In fact, they depend on it: if it fills up then the beavers will stop doing work that produces that resource. Your farmhouses filled up with carrots, so your beavers stopped doing harvesting. And, as you noticed, your storehouses filled up with various crap, meaning nobody could move carrots from the farmhouses.

[@backflipUK]

You can just build a builders flag next to it, or use the demolish tool. Love watching anyhow!

[@taylorminckley9303]

This is my favorite series of yours by far. Always disappointed when the video ends. Alas, I shall wait with bated breath for the next episode of RCE's Timberborn.

[@ShowBoysPodcast]

Your videos are awesome, always a good laugh! Just started playing Timberborn ourselves and love it!

[@f3player]

I was thinking maybe you could invest in dynamite to create small distributary channels to increase the range of the growing area and also i have a hypothesis that having multiple dams along the river will slow the loss of water during the dry season. The dams would also allow quicker access to the other bank so, two birds one stone

[@davidholbrook6335]

You should dig out the stream so it's like a huge ass reservoir but keep enough dirt on the waterfall so it still falls off to very top of the reservoir that way when it stops pouring you can just have a staircase or something every once in awhile and then have a pump pump water from the reservoir.

[@triggamusician]

Bets are open now. How long will this settlement last? 2 episodes, maybe 3? Seems like a good start. I hope you can turn this into a real series.

@@Khaim.m he might have started the pods too late a lot of the beavers are dying of old age hopefully there was enough kids in the begining to run a skeleton crew after the first set of adults die off and the next generation can spawn in but if they take too long there may be a point where theres just kid beavers running around lol

Here is a question. When you dam up part of the river, the water flow faster through the narrow bit. If you add a water wheel there, does it work better?

[@peterknutsen3070]

As far as I know: no

[@sharplydressedrabbit3604]

No, but that'd be a great addition. If the water is flowing slow enough the wheel will stop. So variable wheel speeds would be great
