Matt! it is not necessery to migrate your beavers. They populate every open sleeping space as long well-being is good, food and water are there in abundance, and at least 2 beavers are left. Build more shelters and you will get more population eventually.

[@TheBlueberryWhite]

@@SickNastyyy He still built 4 Lodges for his 15 beavers. So it is either miticulous micromanagement or building 4 Lodges knowing one has capacity for 15 beavers. Otherwise homelessness reduces well-being again.

[@hsiverts]

The point of migrating them is to remove the children from their parents so that the parents will have another child. Otherwise, they will stay with their one child until it has reached adulthood, and they will not reproduce until then.

[@Rymdpandan]

Pretty sure people told him this last video too and he mentioned that he records a couple of videos at the time, so I think he's aware and we just haven't caught up to it yet.

[@marcus_w0]

This scarce placement of shelters drives me nuts as well. And steadily pausing and unpausing tasks. build up a decent population and then have everything working at once - it's suppose to be self sufficient.

[@abyssal_phoenix]

One thing to asd that is potentially very obvious but beavers don't make babies if they have too long working shifts I use that to my advantage if i still have a half struggling colony in hard mode when bad tides hit. Currently i can house 26 beavers at max but i drive it down a bit to 18-20 to be able to survive the lack of water. Can't wait until my mega reservoir is done so i can pump water from there. It's at least partially finished now, leaving green space around ir which im using to my advantage: I can now grow trees more properly during bad tides! (Im playing with folk tails on the terraces map on hard)

[@davidstears7037]

The amount of times the 'Wheel of Shame' has saved his games is unreal. It shouldn't be the wheel of shame anymore, it should be the wheel of FAME.

[@xX_NeXus_Xx]

It was, until someone need to be SHAMED

[@colliefields4637]

I always imagined that there was one of them Open/Closed shop door signs dangling beside the wheel so if a beaver had to go "to work" out of desperation or a punishment, the fella in charge would flip the sign accordingly. Culture demands that the "wheeler" is forbidden from flipping the sign themselves.

[@jase_allen]

I call it the Wheel of Triumph and cheer on the beavers RCE tries to shame.

[@Keegerwocky]

Someone should make a mod that adds the wheel of shame as a separate custom building so Matt can use the regular wheel in the early game without having to shame the beavers that are saving the colony.

[@TheMineKnight]

Matt! Folktail beavers will populate open housing spots with enough well-being. The higher well-being is, the faster I would assume it goes. So just take care of your beavers, and the population will eventually fix itself. You also badly need to get yourself a forester so you can re-plant the berries you'll lose during the bad-tide.

[@TheGreatDrake]

Yeah to me one of the most important things he should of been doing last episode was a forester he has very little wood so he needs to get the trees replanted.

[@twell1984]

He does not retain that he can plant berries. He will occasionally find out every other season but instantly forget. 🤷

I am not a 100% sure but i think it was that pink faction from the mod he played a while back, i think that was where he is getting it. Edit: Upon going back and reviewing that Video, i am pretty sure its where he was getting that idea, but still a little off. The Pink Faction was the one with all the waterproof buildings (lodges, tapper's shack, builder's lodge, etc.) but not the warehouse.

[@zamboughnuts]

[@spedi6721]

I had the feeling that they automatically grow in population as long as there is space in the huts. Isn't this juggling around useless?

[@h.1699]

correct, it is absolutely pointless. though he might hope for several children at once?

I want to thank Matt because in my 27 almost 28 years of living, I’ve had so many people mispronounce my name. Teachers, coworkers friends. Never have I ever heard it the way he said it in this 20:35. It’s hilarious 😅😅😅😅 Also blessed to be sitting where the Beavels once performed. 😌

[@tranquilthoughts7233]

Matt still hasn't understood that he doesn't need to do the migration thing -.-' Also, he still hasn't built a forester... He will soon run out of wood...

[@wansichen3743]

and he is working on the bad tide when it wont start happening until minimally cycle 5

[@tranquilthoughts7233]

@@wansichen3743 I could forgive that one since I also like to start working on anti-badtide measures early. But i at least wait until i have the basics secured. RCE though has neglected to secure the most basic ressource. Wood. He will pretty soon have to fast forward several days with nothing to do but research while waiting for trees to mature.

[@ItISLupus]

16:59 No joke about needing a lot of brainpower. I do security system installs. you know actually teaching people how to use their new alarm systems. One of my companies sales reps said i should try to make content online, because all he's heard from customers and management is "oh he's great" "he's the best technician we have when it comes to activations". I just laughed in his face. It takes more than just being charismatic to succeed with online content. You have to be charismatic, and you have to be entertaining.

[@tamaramufaro]

[@duncanchin]

Has anyone been keeping track of the family tree of these beavers?

[@theroadstopshere]

After the last episode, it's less of a family tree and more of a family wreath Better for all of us that we try to forget that

[@Fyreflier]

yeah I have it's this: O

[@Mrwednesday79]

Think these beavers are American with the amount of inbreeding going on 😂

[@PyroMania87]

Not so much a tree, more of a family pyramid.

[@cnikkor]

In math graph theory a tree is an acyclic connected graph, and the beavers relationship is more like a fully connected graph instead

[@ImAdonai]

I really don't think that space in barracks have anything to do with births. I definitely had barracks full of beavers and have some new born after I build new ones. Also, you should experiment with water dumps. Placing 4 levies in a + without a center (you know, so there is a hole), putting a water dump and some stairs can very easily allow you to hydrate land, and water evaporates rather slowly from just one tile - and when it does, you can just assign a beaver to come over and fill it up again. With this you can completely move farming away from the rivers to make space for industrial stuff powered by water wheels. Would recommend.

[@lumbauer]

The single-tile waterdump has been nerfed, but a 3x3 "pond" is the new min-maxed ideal.

[@catelynh1020]

I do also think reach was nerfed. I used to want to have a 3 deep river to keep most of my usable land green during droughts and now everything but the river dries out once you get that deep. My last play through, i had to readjust my thinking and utilize a lot more waterways under paths with a fluid dump in order to keep my crops watered during bad tides and droughts. I also feel like i remember there being an irrigator for emergencies that would keep a store of water and slowly seep it into the ground in a not super large area, but i haven't seen it so it either got moved to the iron teeth or was removed entirely

[@ImAdonai]

@@lumbauer oh, I didn't play in a hot minute so I wasn't aware. 3x3 Pond sounds good too.

[@yutti311]

They can hook up at someone else's house. All you need to get more beavers is an empty bed in any house. I also love that he thinks a building with no walls is water tight. Also I know you don't release these the same day you record them but man it's so funny/painful to watch the same mistake over and over. Love your awesome work keep it up!

[@makimaki500]

They didnt use to have no walls

[@skuylah3436]

Matt, you don't need to migrate the beaver. They'll multiply as long as there's empty slot

[@SnyperMK2000JclL]

Surprisingly the first Bad Tide on this map really isnt a total disaster. Theres only one water source in that second area across the river from the start, so it takes quite a while for the dilute poo water to build up in pootensity enough to kill everything around that small lake.

[@jkylow]

I kind of knew the warehouse didn't work as a dam since episode 1😂 You almost fooled me 😂😂😂😂

[@BornDepressed]

I think you switching their housing around made them breed a lot slower actually. They give birth when there is open space for more beavers. You're overthinking it. Over engineering breeding.

[@mathewpoole3589]

You could demolish the buildings in the starting location and get those logs, right? During a drought, they'll be safe to get.

[@cathygrandstaff1957]

Yeah he just needs to watch the drought to make sure he severs the path to those piles or pauses collection of them during the wet seasons.

[@Lyndonberg_Gaming]

19:57 Twas the hauling post that ate the planks

[@targetdreamer257]

You can focus on the original water supply. I noticed on other KZbinrs had a Bad water and a Fresh water mixed and it didn't kill everything. It just had a diminished growth radius. Also you can still pump fresh water from bad water its just the efficiency drops but if you need fresh water you can still get it get some from bad water. There are bad water barriers which blocks the poisoning effect. But you do need platforms because you can’t build stuff on the barriers, though you can put a platform over it.

[@Deathnotefan97]

He built the irrigation barriers in the last season IIRC, while they do stop the poison effect of the bad water, they also prevent clean water from irrigating the land

[@Summersong2262]

@@Deathnotefan97 The Ironteeth one does. The Folktail one lets regular irrigation through. Makes sense, they're the farming faction, and the superior filter means that it's easier for them to maintain farmland because lining their riverways doesn't block irrigation.

[@flukehorizon2378]

16:50 yes its like multi-tasking, holding a conversation with yourself about what you are doing while puns and jokes with full-on entertaining focus, and playing a game well enough

[@ranzera]

I didn't say it couldn't be done, I said the recovery would be so slow that the content wouldn't be good. You can't deny that the editors have been doing much heavier lifting than usual. The update that changed storages was forever ago at this point. It changed when they overhauled storage in the game. The old system had storages that could hold more than 1 item type (which didn't even work well) and those buildings were water tight. The one thing I miss from that system is being able to stack storages that hold logs. You should probably have prioritized your forester a bit more. Trees have a decent lead time on them, unless you plant the worst tree in the game en masse.

[@cathygrandstaff1957]

Yeah watching him ignore making a forester (usually one of the most important early game buildings) has been painful. I think you can still stack log storage in the Iron teeth faction. One of the faction differences that has always been part of the game is the iron teeth get log storages with roofs so they can be stacked while the folktails get log storages without roofs that can’t be stacked.

[@vacuumdiagram]

To be fair, he may also be remembering the water beavers mod, that he played for one season. They have lots of water-tight and stackable buildings. And lots of requirements too, lol. Good nod though, if you like complexity!

[@AllThingsRuckus]

[@cathygrandstaff1957]

19:58 Watching Matt remove full grown trees instead of logging them makes me sad, especially when he hasn’t invested in a forester yet.

[@jamoecw]

With the intro song talking about you playing poorly on purpose, I started thinking about how I could play better, aside from the minor mistakes like having the beavers wade into poo accidentally, and I think you could have made some levies or other buildings that block water flow in order to divert the poo around the initial settlement to buy time for the move. That makes me want to go back and play the game in order to test the theory out, which is why Timberborn should pay you for playing their game (in addition to your playthroughs getting me to buy it in the first place).

Dear Matt, To prepare for a bad tide, you need to have water for 2 droughts back to back. And if you don't have bad water spills that diverts the tude, avoid the "water fun" like shiwer and lido. Sincerely,

After playing this game for a few hours, I understand why KZbinrs seem to keep making stupid mistakes. It's requires much more micromanagement than most city builders and things go sideways very quickly. While fun (because at work as an engineering manager, I refuse to micromanage), I can't imaging doing to when narrating.

Just a suggestion (from someone who doesn't play this game,yet) rather than just using levies for your storage of water come badtides, instead I would put dam blocks on the side facing the river/ lower level and levies on the side where you were going to have the active storage. That way you shouldn't have any flooding on your farmland. Just a suggestion.

Turn the dam components 90 degrees counter clockwise, so the back of the building faces the water.
