[@Redneck353]

And still no love for the plushies.... Is there a way to tell steam to give you your cut?, can't "rebuy" tbh 80% of the reason I have that game is your stuff

[@Devilish_Fun]

🐸!

[@necropaw]

+1 for the long videos. You got us spoiled with the water beavers lately lol

[@alexkudzin4980]

JC! Build stairs up to the water sources and put in a bad water diversion before the first bad tide!!!

[@JCTheBeard]

That's on the list for next episode! Thankfully it's going to be a piece of cake compared to the absolute nightmare of a process we had to endure in the Waterbeavers mod

[@jasonjazzz5]

52:40 hour is a nice time it feels for a timberborn vid

[@bruhboi699]

Literally opened KZbin just to try and see if this video was coming out. Posted 52 seconds ago, couldn’t be more perfect timing

[@JCTheBeard]

Enjoy!

[@Hobbityfus]

Please try the easy well-being buildings a bit earlier this series, since they don’t just life longer but also run faster and work quicker. Even if you don’t reach the next lifespan bonus, the other boni are not to be underestimated.

[@jasonjazzz5]

to keep that bad water away from the trees and berries some after a drought, you could put some dams in at the intersection where the 2 meet

[@GwionWilliams]

Long videos are good! Also, they're not harvesting those crops because you need more farmhouses! It'd really be a good move to rush up to the water source and stick a floodgate there to protect against badwater, although you're nearly ready to do sluices instead, which would be even better - probably your plan. I'm really happy to learn that about ladders though. That was seriously good news.

[@darthyetgon]

53:05 love the long run videos longer the better not only for the occasional laugh when you do something that you think shouldn't be too bad ends up doing something devastating😂 but you have a play style that I can literally just watch all day

[@stephenhurley4296]

Yes I enjoy the more long form videos

[@biest7625]

Love the long episodes 😎

[@jasonjazzz5]

medical bed would be advised spending some science on too, have some injuries

[@skrymerU]

If you put some levees with dams on top just a bit down streams from the natural bridge, below the fermented cassava warehouse. You could increase the depth on the water in the upper part of the river. Than you wouldn't have to pause the pumps and the natural irrigation would spread a little bit longer. And please fix the water sorting up by the source before the badtide.

[@beendiggin3889]

hour episodes are great : )

[@Hobbityfus]

Two things I forgot: please, for the sake of my sanity, overbuild your log storage! It’s full and you have grown oaks around you could get growing again. Free up the spaces in the haulers hut and have them be the main overflow for workers, or actually have enough inventors to soak up the beavers who have nothing to do during drought. Consider the badwater discharge and a nice power plant stream (at least the start of it) as a project after the badtide diversion. Your droughts are not long, but it would keep the progress (and food) running. Plus you want it at some point anyway, since the bots require a basic guaranteed power supply. Well, that will take time. But it never hurts to prepare early to minimize work later. (There is no such a thing as too many logs stored)

[@targetdreamer257]

Here is a suggestion. You can build a Levee and Dam stack right next to the Fermented Casavas. You could also block off the Badwater from back flowing, just depends if it is worth it to you to add Dams right at the badwater and fresh water confluence. That will hold in more water keeping the ground hydrated. Also I think you set a farm to harvest kohlrabi just so they clean out those unmarked faster.

[@ShawnHCorey]

GG. You should put dams just upstream of the overhangs for the bad water. That way they will block the bad water from flowing upstream after a drought until the good water can get there. And it will give you a pool for the trees and berries during a drought.

[@bruhboi699]

I love the long videos, I feel like 45 mins as a minimum is great, any shorter and I’m left wanting.

[@mandaloriandy]

I know this is late and you have more episodes after this, but - when I was doing my most recent playthrough I got a LOT of value out of decorations because each of them adds in a wellbeing bonus! The carrying speed and lifespan and walking speed and everything really add up, for what ends up being not that much science or resources for stuff like a 1x1 roof, or a bust, or a brazier etc.

[@Draail19]

I'm so excited to see how you play this map out!

[@JCTheBeard]

I think it's got some great potential, especially if we can integrate those natural overhangs

[@jasonjazzz5]

just a few tiles after the bridge the land drops down that tile, but you can levee up a level in the river with dams on top to store more water during droughts and help out a bunch early on

[@MusingsMuses]

I think an hour long episode is fine at the start but keep it close to an hour for now. Getting into 90+ minutes for an episode should be saved for mid-late game when stuff does take longer.

[@squiredoodad]

Ayyy, Iron Teeth playthrough time! Congrats on the sponsorship!

[@ryanspillane6162]

You build extra water pumps, where if you even set 1 of them as being prioritized by haulers you would have a bunch more water again

[@Redneck353]

1:42 welp, that stayed the same, thank you sir

[@squiredoodad]

Have one farmhouse on harvest, one farmhouse on plant. Works most efficiently like that. If you need them to harvest Canola immediately, set one to Canola until it's gathered that crop for the season

[@Curryolla]

With respect to your question about long videos: I like the longer format! But, I'll admit, I skip around the longer format videos during the weekday (so much to watch, so little time). On weekends, I watch at normal speed, minimal to no skipping around.

[@thomasfplm]

36:57 Beavers aren't human, but in this game they are people.

[@thomasfplm]

52:52 I don't usually watch the entire video in one go, but a longer video means that in total I have more stuff to watch, which is nice.

[@Devilish_Fun]

Episode 3, "Return of Spontaneous Irrigation™ "? 👀🐸

[@saiyanprince989]

Keep making food storage as your current ones get full. Nothing wrong with surplus when you can get it for later struggles.

[@stiches2690]

Also dont forget to unpause the water pumps

[@MScottBlake]

You should move those water wheels upstream one tile and you will be able to go 5 wide beside the gear workshop.

[@alexkudzin4980]

53:00 we LOVE LONG videos

[@thomasfplm]

1:03:40 It might be interesting to swap the dead oaks for pines, so they at least grow in time to produce any logs.

[@PauxloE]

→ 49:30 "Why the canola hasn't been a target for harvesting?" - All of your farmers have other nearer-by food to harvest first. → I think you can expand your industrial area near the river by going up a level - get the upwards power shafts plus some platforms to connect from your soybean-fermenter, and put the next set of buildings on the level higher (between the canola and the border of the map). You can also get another beaver-powered wheel up there for the drought times, but you should certainly at some point also build more water wheels in the river. → 58:20 Also prioritizing this lower ladder should help the 8 beavers get into the already built barack on the ground and not be homeless. (Doesn't matter anymore, just a remark for the next time.)

[@mikeriley2475]

You should build a secondary dam, on the other side of your small water wheels at your "high ground" by you natural overhang! Make it two high so it holds more water!

[@Moncamonca]

That bad water source could be better employed as a power source; that obvious kick diversion with the 'built in' overhangs don't leave much space to put water wheels and is kind of a trap.

[@luisvictorf]

I like long videos, I've stuck around for videos up to 4 hours long on other channels. Thanks for asking

[@jasonjazzz5]

dont forget to unpause the water pumps!

[@jasonjazzz5]

49:35 could probably use another farmhouse. lot of land to cover for just those 2

[@squiredoodad]

Pretty sure if power is a concern you can build another set of stairs and set up like three water wheel stacks back to back

[@Drexos17]

you can stack the warehouses since you have ladders. optimizing storage density and all

[@jasonjazzz5]

I always end up bypassing all the foods that need canola until later for IT, can get a fair amount without dealing with it. because when you get to bots, you always end up crashing food stores when you put in grease factories since they need so much oil

[@squiredoodad]

You opened a lot of river space with those stairs. Until you get around to dynamiting it deeper, it'd be a great idea to plant some mangroves and get fruit going to shore up food.

[@Redneck353]

16:34 FT works nicely in pair, for IT need a trio, one in the middle that is focused on planting and 2 at the planting limit of the "center" one on harvest, ( and for WB... yeah, will see when the complete version comes out)

[@zachariahrich3354]

If you put a single row 1 tall of leveys on the riverbed right before the bad water fall, after droughts the bad tide wont make it back even if you pump out all the water.

[@thomasfplm]

24:19 You can build a tower of platforms in the middle and then build the overhangs to conect both sides. I think this would look the coolest.

[@ryanspillane6162]

I was thinking a fermenter where the 2 small tanks went, with a platform it would have fit perfectly and let you keep going further down

[@GeronimoJenkins]

+1 for long videos

[@oledamen8116]

I don't know if you already dit or not, but please put a lantern with the Barack you build at 26:28 there is a perfect spot for it beside the path.

[@alexcubed2095]

I like the longer episodes, I watched a lot of your previous Timberborn livestream. (How many hours were those?😵) I personally would like if the episodes stayed between 40-60 minutes, including the outro. Your recording style of "one-shot live commentary and upload", working your list, and finishing up stuff tends to push the episodes to the hour mark and then some. It's hard to put away the beaver game when you're having fun, which you clearly are. :)

[@BliggityBlaine]

You should build a dam at the point where the badwarer spawns. So it doesn't back up the river at all.

[@ryanspillane6162]

I was thinking a fermenter where the 2 small tanks went, with a platform it would have fit perfectly and let you keep going further down Also Forrester needs to replant dead trees

[@stiches2690]

I think getting a tunnel mod just so you can make an avatar secret tunnel joke would be hilarious

[@JCTheBeard]

I'm listening...

[@brianmiller1077]

On my play through of this map I built my industrial area in the grey area on the bottom of the map but I built them over storage.

[@Singh_Harsh]

make this series an Aesthetic build please

[@sidmcmillan926]

Video can always be snacked on if not devoured in a single gulp 😋 ... 💓⚒️🦫

[@Devilish_Fun]

So true! 🐸!

[@mrjules1982]

1:40 The spice must flow

[@Devilish_Fun]

🐸! We love ladders!

[@brandonwestfall3241]

People who dislike long videos are total smoothbrains. Like, just pause it homeslice.

[@ANKITKUMAR-tj7gq]

i like looong videos like 1:30 to 2 hr long My request is to make water beaver live stream when they become compatible

[@brianmiller1077]

1:40 well, there goes my lunch :)

[@jasonjazzz5]

17:17 a lot of the IT decorations are locked behind having Metal, but shrubs and lamps a not and can be placed around stuff easily enough

[@Redneck353]

20:45 Ho No , we doing the pause pumps ballet again? How about moving the pumps downstream, after the dam and making a secondary dam there? Should avoid a lot of yelling at the computer

[@skrymerU]

It would probably be better to put some levees with floodgates in and utilize the fact that the upper part of the terrain of the river is 2 deep there.

[@JCTheBeard]

First couple cycles are always more about surviving than anything else. Now that we've gotten all of that squared away, we can move toward optimization

[@abrammarba9700]

Could use a ladder to that first Rooftop Terrace...

[@TrueStahl]

I'm up to Date With water beavers so yes. I like it Long

[@jasonjazzz5]

51:55 dont need the platforms, just put another barracks up there

[@jasonjazzz5]

got there eventually i see :)

[@nurmr]

21:15 You need another ~5 inventors. You have several workers without a job, which is just unmade science going to waste. 37:10 yay, better.

[@PsiQ]

yay Mods !

[@alexkudzin4980]

41:30 bad water bypass 🥺🥺🥺

[@justbuzzik]

Take the time to watch RCE beavermyths. Interesting how one water wheel with a levee either side is the same power output as 3 water wheels side by side. Efficient use of resources.

[@squiredoodad]

I don't believe those oaks in the poisoned area will ever be able to grow, not even as Birches. The water just can't rush in fast enough and even if it could only one or two extra are safe. Just distracting your forester when there's other trees to replant.

[@Redneck353]

1h for a serie start is long enough IMO, later on can stretch a bit and after EP45 it'S Movies Time!

[@darthyetgon]

You're going to need more beavers eventually you might as well not put platforms under the gear shop and put a barracks and just not connect one or the other😊

[@thomasfplm]

47:17 It would be better to have it near the rest of the industry, so it becomes easier to connect everything.

[@SprayNPray-y2e]

GAHHHHH I LOVE THIS GAME

[@jasonjazzz5]

37:37 you could avoid the ugly but putting a ladder instead of stairs there

[@ortizandy87]

Connect both power supplies just for the fun of it

[@M1PAC]

Both-BOTH -both is OK .

[@Redneck353]

"6" = 4?? you ok bud?

[@JCTheBeard]

Are any of us ever okay? 😂

[@darthyetgon]

Is the vending machine mod available for you to put in

[@chrisb9960]

Would it make sense to build another dam (taller with a couple levees) just before where the bad water flows?

[@chrisb9960]

After building a dam on the cliff to divert the bad tide…

[@alexkudzin4980]

1:03:00 but even though it’s cycle 5 there’s no bad water bypass 😭😭😭

[@maara174]

OH MY GOD PLEASE replace the platforms for a ladder to get into the rooftop terrace😂😁 it’s so ugly

[@ChrisBakerkewlaidkiddd]

At 53:26 I'm definitely a long video guy

[@ianspilman4031]

+2 for longer vids

[@TherealRexmanGamer]

I tend to prefer videos which are less than an hour at least at the start.

[@jerryfinn3056]

don't forget to not replant the oak trees that are destine to die again

[@OlaCh93]

I think you shouldn't deprioritize scientists, they're really important! I have 2 of them at the start and then 4 of them in the early game, no science no progress.

[@myrany8407]

I understand that many of your viewer want mods but I want to present a different side. Early after a patch I prefer no mods runs because it really shows how to push the things already built into the game to their limits. It is also better for new players who might have just bought the game with the new update. Later on in the update cycle go ham with mods. Early on not so much.

[@walkir2662]

I very much like the long videos, short videos are worse at relaxing to.

[@md.rakibhasan1801]

Can anyone lend me a account that has "timberborn" in it. I really wanna play🥺

[@kahnwolfe9548]

JCTB: *laughing* How stupid is this? It's pretty stupid. It's not stupid if it works. It is also an efficient use of space, it is also a power transfer to the lower level that could be utilized later. You say it's stupid, but I see a very efficient use of space and potential for future extension.

[@flstrm6054]

🇸🇪

[@BrandonCallen]

Long videos are better

[@sidmcmillan926]

52:20 - Not dumb, nor stupid, but good utilization of the space 🙃 ... speaking of which, the ancient aqueduct ruins are a gift for bad water diversion, would make no sense to destroy (IMHO) , looking forward to seeing them restored 🤗 It's a great map, loads of possibilities. kick its #%* JC 💓⚒️🦫

[@Redneck353]

8:36 shorter videos can be fun to entertain you while you take a dumo or whatever but you don't get the "real experience" It takes time and you son't realize untill you play it yourself or get that kind of top premium videos!
