Engineering the WORLD'S LARGEST DAM in Timberborn!

[@bendover7216]

Hey RCE, you should play Oxygen Not Included, I feel like you would find that really fun and could make a big series out of it too

[@justinbastelli3692]

I think that too

[@momochansam]

Oh good idea!

[@shiGOMI-ui]

i hope so, the engineering in the endgame really got me confused, btw rce did play hell architect or something which is very similar to O.N.I.

[@edmay28]

Could be interesting to have a flood season to completely contrast the drought season in the game

[@CottonballMonster]

Yeah, I was thinking of the game having a rainy season too where you need to create a drainage system for your town not to be flooded. If I remember correctly, beavers will move and work fine underwater(I once created platforms on the river and the beaver just walks underwater and built it there) but buildings will be stop functioning if it is flooded. I think it would be better if they would make the beavers move slowler when the path is wet or they are underwater. But from the story of the game, it looks like humanity is brought to extinction due to drought so I think rainy/flood season will not be implemented.

[@ignis488]

well hopefully later in development we can research weather machines, then do stuff with it like in the Red Alerts games

[@TRAILLER]

I am playing a session where I builded a dam then build settlements upstream from it. until I managed to build a high enough levee for them they worked only during the dry season.

[@Jack_Wolfe]

that would be cool. Then people would have to design overflows.

[@gredystar8333]

I’m so glad this was made into a video, thank you Schmichael for bringing this to the normal RCE viewers and for your sacrifice 😂

[@Daedalus-Inc]

Brief thought: Would it be possible to create a massive tower made of levees, so you have a supersized water silo?

[@jasonpeace1991]

Yes I did this around my water source and with deep water pumps I never run out of water now

[@CottonballMonster]

its hard to create a high water silo/tower, if you are thinking of a tower that has a small adjustable hole at the bottom to release water, it is impossible as of now. to create a water tank you will need an adjustable hole at the bottom where you can drain the tower, but there is no possible way to create this "hole". if you put an adjustable floodgate as part of the tower you cant put anything above the flood gate so technically the height of your "tower" is just 3units high and it opens from the top. i tried to create this too by using platform/dam to create a hole, putting a levee above it, and putting an adjustable floodgate in front to block the hole. unfortunately you can't put a levee above the platform/dam. ive experimented with some of the buildings if it can block water but they cant only the levee, floodgates, and dam can block the water, the dam blocking it up to 0.5 high.

[@phantomlordmxvi]

@@jasonpeace1991 But only the second race has deep water pumps. The first race only has normal, so you can only pump 2 deep

[@jasonpeace1991]

@@phantomlordmxvi if your using the other pumps put them on steps and let them flood when full adjustable floodgates at the top help

[@pogeman2345]

@@CottonballMonster It's actually around 0.6-ish that the dam can block up. That's usually the height my water level markers say on my 1-block high reservoirs.

I like Timberborners a little more, but this project - even the longer version - was very very entertaining! Keep up the good work and more Timberborn!!

[@theroadstopshere]

The memes edited into the surface of the water of the Mega-Super-Über-Dam (MSUD for short) were some top-notch work, shoutout to Schmichael for putting in the work for that ON TOP OF editing down several days worth of footage into a single video. Wherever he is after being swept away by the great MSUD disaster, hopefully he's in a better place 🙏🏼

Props to the editor and of course matt for the amazing content that's alot of editing to do

[@meoowrie1540]

Watched the full replay of all the streams, and I'm just going to say, the editor needs that damful of love. Even the whole map flooded with love. That's A LOT of work.

[@calebvandenburg1400]

I've started to really enjoy playing the Foxtails due to Windmills and not needing to micromanage my beaver population. In addition, their Beehives mean you can grow significantly more crops in a smaller footprint. Iron Teeth really need much more space just for food because of this, and their engines require so much metal that I'd rather use for other resources.

[@Legault397]

This game needs sluice gates... and flood physics where a wave like that actually wrecks stuff....

[@mme725]

5:46 holy shit Schmicheal, you outdid yourself 20:45 also 'nice' job with that

[@mickeyhavoc939]

You should make a map, that's closed in on all sides with a water source. It would be a race against time to try and dam it all up or deal with the water

[@spacewolfcub]

GENIUS! I love this terrifying idea! And that would make “Hard” mode actually the easiest because long droughts would give you more time.

Just wanna give my appreciation to not only RCE, but his amazing editor. The memes edited in were beautiful, and I personally know how hard it is to crop down a massive stream and be able to edit it together where it's got good pace, content is delivered steadily, and people don't feel like they're missing anything. Amazing work brother, just wanted to let you know we see the hard work you do to help RCE get this amazing content out, much love

QUESTION: Does "WATER STORAGE" fill up when underwater? If so, does having a bunch underwater in a shallow river area, then get exposed in the dry season, able to be a garrenteed water supply?

[@spacewolfcub]

That’s a good question. Both my water pumps and my big water tanks have gotten the “flooded” moodlet many times, and never gained water to their inventory. My Foxtail pumps get routinely submerged because of their stubby pipe depth limit without filling up their inner storage. But I also have never had any of my water tanks become completely submerged, so who knows? If I had to guess, I’d say water tanks are a building like any other, and just _look_ like they’re open at the top for the player. But they’re actually sealed, because I’ve heard that water doesn’t evaporate inside tanks, though they look open to the air.

[@rayregula]

I've noticed a few times now in your Timberborn series where you have mentioned the red line not reaching where you want to build (see 15:40). I'd figured someone else would have mentioned what it is by now so have not bothered commenting. In my experience with the game that red line shows if a building can connect to the district center meaning if you wanted a lumberjack flag far away from your town it can't be past that walking distance to your district center. and as such any builder huts you add will share the same line when selected as that only shows the range of the city center. The blue box around the outside of your city is most likely the building area as it extends when building roads (though I have not been paying much attention to that aspect during my playthrough). Love your content RCE

[@RadeticDaniel]

line colors change depending on the selected building constructions must be in range of a builder's hut or district center storage must be in range of extraction flags or production buildings directly or via district center or hauling posts every building with workers must be in range of beaver homes and beavers will move from house to house if assigned work just outside their respctive range it took me some experimenting to check the above one by one and maybe there are some errors with them i haven't figured out yet but overall, it works =)
