Easy tip for science buildings: just make them lowest priority. Then whenever you pause other buildings, spare beavers will go work science, and when you unpause them they'll go right back to that job. This way you never have to manage your science buildings.

[@BirdbrainEngineer]

Soon enough, in about 2 or so dry seasons, your river will dry up during dry season. So you'll either need a water dump or need to construct a water tank with levees at the waterfall. I strongly suggest planting as many trees as possible already, so that they are there when you need them.

Same thought. I ran out of log all the time in this map, until I put most buildings on metal platforms and make the whole map green.

For efficient space usage, consider putting platforms on top of the river. Build on top of the platforms on the river. Make sure to leave a few holes for adding puddle spaces after your beavers invent dynamite. the puddles will help keep the area hydrated during long dry seasons.

[@TGears314]

[@seand.g423]

Does that do _anything_ about evaporation, tho?

[@yuyaplays9311]

Just a little tip for your food situation. Beavers plant faster than they harvest food so what I like to do is have 1 planter for every 2 harvesters. So the best setup in my opinion is to have 3 farmhouses with one set to planting and the other two for harvesting. Alternatively you can have 2 farm houses with just 1 planter in one and 2 harvesters in the other. This will save you a job slot early on and ensure you are planting as quickly as you are harvesting.

i would like your comment but it is already at the perfect like amount

[@falmaa11]

you should try to get to the tnt as fast as possible and make the river deeper so u have more water storage in the river itself :)

[@lapisanyta]

It's better to build up with levees than dig down in this map. You need a lot of beavers and resources to get to dynamite quickly, but the map is too small to grow enough trees, and you will encounter 15+ days drought way earlier. Plus you can only dig 3 levels under the river and that's not enough when you are reaching late game. Eventually you will need to build up to make a reservoir, it's better to start building it first.

[@OriginalPiMan]

I go for a mix. I deepen the river in little pockets so plants can still grow for a while after I've drained the main length, but then I dedicate about a quarter of the map at the base of the waterfall to a very tall reservoir.

[@concretemathematics414]

yeah i like using tnt to create irrigation for the plants and if it goes one block lower than the river is, it'll still have water after the pumpers pumped the river dry

[@reynaldogaitan4561]

RCE, just a quick note, breeding pods mostly work in averages of 10s per pod, with 3 breeding pods you will be handling an average of 30 beavers once the game catches on (May take 60 or so beaver days, it depends on resources and on their life quality). Also, if you want wood, it's probably best to grow pine trees in the green section next to the oaks, they need about 12 days for 6-8 logs, which in the long term is more than the oaks. I would also recommend looking into building a dam near the waterfall area as everything is quite likely to dry up in a 12-17 day dry season

[@WJS774]

What are you talking about? Pines give _two_ logs after 12 days, not 6-8. Oaks give significantly more per day.

[@prunabluepepper]

Pro tip: pine is better than birch. You only need to wait a little longer, but get 2. So have some pines, while you wait for the oak. You can also plant and chop mangroves AND eat them.

[@michaelsorensen7567]

And the ENTIRE river bed can be used for mangroves, so far as foresters can reach. And he's already unlocked stairs, so there's really no reason not to ..

[@Dark_Plum]

Also pines are more efficient to haul after chopping. Beavers can haul 2 logs at once so with birtch trees they have to walk twice as much to gather same ammount of wood.

[@depotheose7890]

i cant believe that after all this time he still believes that trees regrow when theyre cut down in the green section

[@Dark_Plum]

But there is other way. You may leave some fully grown trees not marked for chopping and they will create saplings around every now and then. Very situational but may be useful for min maxing.

[@chrisflanagan7564]

@@scandelis1306 Yeah, planting a mix is best. A few rows of fast growing Birch, a few rows of Pine, and a few rows of Oak. That way you get some lumber quickly, but once you've cleared that area, then the slower growing but higher yield trees are ready to be harvested, and eventually the high yield oaks are ready. If you balance it right, you should be able to plant trees at the same rate that they are cleared, and phase out the low yielders for higher yielding trees. Someone should always be planting, and someone always harvesting.

[@cathygrandstaff1957]

Yeah the sheer amount of unused green space is killing me. I also generally don’t do birch because it’s just 4 more days to Pine and that doubles the output, I usually do a mix of half Pine half Maple/Oak, then phase out the pine in favor of Maple/Oak once my log situation stabilized. I wish the game would let me mark an area to be replanted with a different tree than is currently planted there though.

Great video. 😊 You’re going to need a lot more water both in storage and in the river. I suggest a bigger dam where the berries are. You can always make the dry bits green with a water dump and a 1x1 “pond” surrounded by the levees. Tuck it in a corner of land or better yet make a 3x3 pond and add a water dump, shower, lido, depth marker. All that plus it feeds your crops.

[@dunawolf8262]

It's worth planting some mangrove trees in the river, since that's basically unused real estate. Gives you wood if you need it, and an additional food source

[@-Master_Of_Disaster]

Just a well-meant tip. You should as soon as possible begin to build a dam to restrain a lot more water. The droughts will get pretty hefty pretty soon. I've played this map on hard myself and had to wall almost half of the map to restrain enough water for the late game droughts. And don't forget, the more beaver you have the more water you'll need.

[@EliteSniper81]

for the water source, you should turn it into a reservoir by putting dynamite in the middle to make it deeper and putting the floodgates on the waterfall side, a benefit to this layout is that right when the water comes back either a. the floodgates will already be down so the water can then flow directly into the river or b. you could lower the floodgates to make it a direct connection.

Breeding pods I think use only 4 water and 4 berries per baby beaver, it’s noticeable only if you have a lot of them. I usually start my games with 2-4 pods to ensure my population doesn’t die of old age

[@lapisanyta]

It's 5 water and 5 berries, one each per day and 5 days for a new beaver.

[@michaelsorensen7567]

One breeding pod maintains population of 10-12 beavers, depending on wellbeing. Might be reasonable to start off with 2 at the beginning, because lots of your population is older already, but after that first cycle they die about as fast as they're born

I love this series

[@vallahdsacretor4839]

9 days to 1 log = 9 days cost per log 12 days to 2 logs = 6 days cost per log 30 days to 8 logs = 3.75 days cost per log While the wait for the oak is a lot longer up front, the day cost per log is far more effective. In the time for a birch to grow 4 four times it takes one oak to grow, but the oak will provide over twice the amount of logs. Paired with a naturally staggered plant time and a natural cap on harvesting speed and once you get oaks growing, you will have a consistent supply of logs that will generally fund your entire industrialization production single handedly. Which means that you can reduce the size of your forest to what you specifically need, like taking up that entire side of the bank, and use the rest of the fertile land for food production.

in terms of footprint the large rowhouse is the best when it comes to providing housing for your beavers. 3 rowhouses is equal to barracks in terms of how much space they take up but the 3 rowhouses can house 15 beavers vs a barracks house 10.1 large barracks are equal to 2 large rowhouse in terms of housing. a large barrack has a 3x3 footprint while 2 large rowhouses side by side have a 2x2 footprint. large rowhouses are 4 platforms tall while large barracks are 2 platforms tall. it makes the strongest shape if you put a large rowhouse in between to normal rowhouses

Gets me a reservoir only about 4 across, can go like 5 deep, and put a gate in front to slow release to the riverbed.
