MEGA Reservoir - The DROUGHT-BUSTER! - Ep 1 Timberborn Hard Mode

It's always interesting how stoically KZbinrs ignore when games are warning them about their mistakes, then act all surprised by the consequences xD

41:06 "We're up to 13 beavers now." In other words a standard night for Charles Vane at the local tavern.

15 minutes later, screaming at the television "oh my god connect a road to the lumberjack!!! Read the warnings!!!!" Lol

[@ShannaNL]

Tip: If you put the workforce priority of haulers building on low or lowest, the other buildings are filled automaticly without having to micromanage. Also you can put the haulers building on 10 workforce. Just have to remember that in this case the first 10 jobs unfilled are the haulers, not the primaries. ;-)

[@Karagianis]

I did something similar on this map, but I lined the entire length of the river on the top level with levees as far as the first dam to match the level of the rear bank of the river so the entire thing ended up as a 2 deep water source. Even extended out a bit at the water fall end to create a water farm area

[@vhesperian]

So glad to see you back. Was beginning to think this break might have been permanent, thankfully it wasnt.

[@SkyeStorme]

Good to see you Vespere :)

[@vhesperian]

@Skye Storme as long as your posting content I'll be around.

[@zxuiji]

3:44, bad move, always leave a few trees unmarked until you unlock and build a forester, just gives you some leeway on the log front until then, even then I usually have the forester plant and grow the maple trees prior to finally cleaning house of the crappy trees

[@z0rpan2]

30:00 "Look at all these thirsty beavers" I lost it, lol

[@D00M3R-SK8]

I think you needed more storage tanks. I worked on getting the big ones made (think we needed cogs for them) and I had a bunch of smaller ones for emergencies. In my most recent drought, one of my reservoirs started to dry up, so I just open the floodgates further up stream and let more water in. The Plains are probably way easier though.

[@ghosthuntingofcornwallande4326]

Welcome back sky really miss your videos hope you and picture are doing well

[@BigTunaTim76]

What are the odds that I just started this map on hard mode for the first time this morning?! I built things in the same areas and even had the same hunger die-off after the population grew and the farm had nothing ready. Only real diff was I flooded that hole down by the lower tree farm instead of building hoover dam 😂. Great video!

[@TheCorpsehatch]

A beaver stuffing good time.

[@SkyeStorme]

LOL :)

[@GoldenPants64]

omg that was chaotic to watch... lmao. i was screaming at my screen way too many times but it made for great content to see a normal person play some timberborn and make the same mistakes we make from time to time. but omg it was killing me to see him pumping during the drought. 0-0

[@Gochen86]

With the farmhouses, I think it'd be slightly more efficient to set one of them to prioritize harvesting instead of having both prioritize planting. With two farmhouses, one set to plant and the other set to harvest, it should keep a steadier flow of crops. Another thing I've seen some people do is a sort of irrigation trick. You put four levees in a cross-shaped configuration, leaving the center open (making it kinda resemble the d-pad on a controller), then place a water dump on top, so it pours into the middle tile. That tile, blocked from flowing anywhere, then irrigates the land around it, allowing for more crops, berries, trees, or even just green grass instead of lifeless brown dirt. But it's good to see your unique brand of crazy back.

[@Karagianis]

Yeah, I like doing that too I also like to put them on platforms over the water to maximise the growing space. :)

[@goodstormsgames9744]

So i found on this map instead of marking all the trees at top you can make a grid so you dont need a forester for replanting trees will spread automatically.

[@zxuiji]

37:49, you've got them prioritising planting here, should always set to harvesting, they'll plant after

[@Grz349]

Food problem was because you set the farm to prioritise planting over harvesting, which halves their efficiency as the will replant the crop before harvesting the next one.

[@mgunter]

The next QoL improvement from the devs should be if you mark for trees/food to be built it marks everything else for destruction.

[@poelmeister]

Oh yes.

[@kingkiller1451]

personally would find that worse, prefer that it *doesn't* mark stuff for destruction.

[@kirasunnight]

I've waited for this FOUR THOUSAND YEARS!

[@rhueoflandorin]

so in hard mode, one thing you may wish to consider for future is UNSELECTING a few trees in an area so they can spread naturally. If not, it is (technically) possible to deplete a map of REACHABLE wood resources and without such, you cannot build stairs and the game is over.

[@Alowne217]

From the thumbnail I thought it was a Minecraft mod or something... I pleasantly surprise to see that it wasn't and that this game is great, time to binge watch this series.

[@Runetrantor]

I know its edited, but man, the drought pic in the thumbnail looks great. Wish we could mod it to look that wasteland-y.

[@havantgirl]

Hi, nice to see you back again :)

[@Kysen]

Love your vids Skye. One of few KZbinrs where it really doesn't matter to me what you make content on, I will watch it! I know you've been away for a while and I really hope you're doing OK! :)

[@OneLeatherBoot]

Moral of the episode folks, keep your beaver hydrated and constantly stuffed with carrots...

[@rhueoflandorin]

also, in early game, when you no longer have trees to harvest...take away two of the three tree cutters instead of the science position. science is really important, and the tree cutters didn't have trees to cut down anyways.

[@tobykathan8277]

Hard mode is hard. In my latest have my beavers died down from 60+ to 5 adults while I was making my giant reservoir. Then again died down to 20 after the population had rebounded. Water storage and water dumps are essential to staying alive in hard mode. Water evaporates from the reservoir, not from storage tanks.

[@SirFace4]

Sky, Can you build a Water Collector on top of the Res? So if the river dries they can still get it from the Res..

[@weatherbutinspace6799]

Super great to have you back, Skye! Looking forward to more content! My 2 cents on the editing in this episode is it's a little distracting, but I always appreciate good editing and applaud you for trying something new!

[@weatherbutinspace6799]

After watching some more, I think it's the zooming that's distracting. You do a great job pointing things out with the cursor, so much so that for a while I thought it was just zooming on where you clicked. If you want to highlight, maybe just the red circles without zoom? I _love_ the smooth transition in and out of time lapses!

[@mljwaffle007]

I see your having fun with the editing now! I do appreciate the zooming in on things, as with compression and different screen sizes, it can be hard to see some of the UI. Though you may want to tame it down a touch as I’m sure it will become quite irritating for some people. But I really do like it thanks! Keep up the good work skye

[@ShannaNL]

[@LeSuper_BoB]

La cuve en anglais c'est THE CUVE!!!

[@urstaxfetish1206]

You don't have to build a reservoir like that as it will take up to much land space which could be used for farming or trees. instead I recommend just increasing the river height. the one layer of water will last about a 15 day drought, two high water will last like 30 ect. ect. meaning a 4 high river should last you 60 days. you can either build the river upwards with levees or downwards with TNT whichever is easier I suppose, but this map is actually really easy to survive in on hard mode, it is just a bit difficult to thrive in and expansion can grind to a crawl due to limited space for trees.

Anyone also has the feeling you are watching Dora the explorer? Screaming against the screen: Skye, you forgot to connect the warehouse!😂

[@MaidAlli]

I think some recalibration is needed for hard mode. I’ve played hundreds of hours of normal mode and the average length for water is 10-12 days before a dry season. Only have 3 days of water seems more like an extreme mode than hard.

[@positivevibezz69]

I need this man to read me a book rn

[@takumi2023]

you need more farms and storage lol. I don't remember who said this but water running out of the map is wasted. (maybe it was katherin of sky). You should also think about turning off the pumps during the drought so the river can keep feeding your plants. but the best way to irrigate is actually still water dump. build a water dump using levee so you don't have to worry about water at all.

[@zxuiji]

27:05, I hope you plan to replace that with dams because floodgates are a big no no in my book, they require your attention just to use, whereas if you're planning on keeping the farms watered you just need to build walls along the river's edge and raise the dams, much simpler to make and forget

[@vovozaum]

the stranded beavers getting ignored was bad, but letting so many of them die because you focused your time into the reservoir was horrible to watch. you should start with 1 high, and grow as you could. that way, you could have focused more on food and no one would have died.

[@Ayns.L14A]

15:46, occurs to me at this point you made a bad move with your housing, should've left a gap between the houses and the path, you can then use the mirrored houses on top and pop some stairs in that gap to reach the mirrored houses later
