Giga dam? More like giggity dam!

[@ThainaYu]

Do you know we have update 6 experimental. Groundbreaking changes

[@jashsuvagia11]

Not sure what that means? Also please play Minecraft Create, I think you would like it. Create is a basically a mod that adds many steampunk elements like conveyor belts, trains and steam engines.

[@JudasBoB270]

… seems a bit small to be calling it a giga dam 🦫

[@loriroach817]

Day 1000000000 of asking Matt to play Minecraft again

[@Slipte]

Remember the Incident

[@blubullie4850]

Here is my Forester research. Foresters plant 15 trees (usually 2-3 less) per day, and Lumberjacks cut down 10 (or less) logs per day. This allows for 3-4 loggers per Forester. Now it is time for Trees per Forester. Birch - 108 Pine - 144 Chestnut - 288 Maple - 336 Oak - 360 This will keep your Beavers consistently busy, which is what we want.

[@AntiWareWolf]

is that the reasercher beaver????

[@Infernoblade1010]

Technically depends on working hours. Seems like 2-3 per hour. I usually run 16-18hrs depending on wellness and that also effects movement speed too. Should plan for about 32 per day on 16hr standard.

[@ranzera]

10 Logs per day per lumberjack sounds extremely low. Do you mean trees per lumberjack?

[@aaroncfriedman]

Forrester researchers did the Forest research

[@ANIME_LOVER_ARMY]

​@@AntiWareWolf😅

[@johnb0815]

well done turning this around. small thing you could have done: close the floodgate at the top to stop the overflowing of the megadam while building the gigadam. but its almost done now so doesn't matter anymore

[@oO0Xenos0Oo]

That would be to easy.

[@JBaughb]

I literally thought that’s what the plan was. Everyone was talking about how the dam would overflow and I was thinking it wouldn’t because he’d close the levee on top. I thought that was the whole reason he put it in 🤷‍♂️

[@fintux]

Also there was a way to build the path to the forester at the top that would have cut way less tree saplings (closer to the stream). I'm wondering if RCE forgot that it's fine (and even preferable) to build stairs and paths below water.

[@England91]

With the new update it can be done automatically

[@lXlDarKSuoLlXl]

Well, he did stood by his word, since he didn't "cut" the trees, he demolished them, it's not the same 😂

[@jimmymcgoochie5363]

The fact that he decided to put the raw potato storage, the potato cooking building and the cooked potato storage right beside each other but split over three levels instead of, you know, RIGHT BESIDE EACH OTHER, is maddening…

Architect moment

[@lXlDarKSuoLlXl]

That's why Matt is secretly an architect 🤣

[@ryank7768]

Let's just be glad they are all on the same side of the map

[@dragongaming479]

he needs the biuld the patato dome (from the grate potato war)

[@TheNotoriousENG]

A suggestion: foresters can be built on platforms, eg placed on your dam lake (at next height) to minimize the land used for that building + the paths to its entry. Edit: also true for log pumpers, so the land spaces can be used for farming

[@KrakenIsMahB]

exactly what i was thinking when I saw that mess

[@cathygrandstaff1957]

He should research platforms first.

[@KrakenIsMahB]

@@cathygrandstaff1957 wait, he doesnt have them ? I know it is difficult map, but I always have at least someone farming science, so when a need comes i can unlock stuff to do stuff better

[@DarthSawyerZock]

Have you tried the Experimental? The new water physics are fantastic, and the new overhangs are a ton of fun on maps like Plateau. Now that you can place levees on top of platforms you can even add drainage to the bottom of dams, very nice

[@veerakuusela5005]

Also vertical power shafts were just added. And Steam workshop allows easy custom map sharing. But of course experimental gets changes more often and might be a bit more unpredictable that way.

[@DarthSawyerZock]

@@veerakuusela5005 The vertical power shaft are incredible, I particularly like how to get to choose the direction of the upward and downward power shaft independently, makes a lot of things more compact

[@SnyperMK2000JclL]

When we're these added? Last I read when the new experimental branch opened up it was just the Wonders that were added.. vert shafts and levee on platforms?! Thats insane! Finally true Aqueducts are possible, is it just relegated to the large metal platforms or do the wooden ones accept levees too?

[@DarthSawyerZock]

@@SnyperMK2000JclL You can put levees on everything solid, even wooden platforms, storehouses etc, and there is an impermeable floor tile as well to make things waterproof

I wonder if RCE realized he could have stopped the flooding by closing the floodgate at the top...

[@paulkramer6553]

He needs to see this. Made me so angry, he didn't realize

[@Coconut-ql5eu]

Watch out Mat you can´t reach the birches with your forester and lumberjack because you built the stairs with no space for the beavers to walk on that level. ;D Love you

[@Zecko19]

25:50 Civil Drainage Engineer forgot that it floods 😅

[@cathygrandstaff1957]

17:35 Yeah beavers can actually pick up logs from debris piles with the same rules that they have for building. That is beavers can pick up logs from one level up from them and an infinite number of levels down.

[@jayeeekennedy3561]

A groundhog and marmot snuck in to the Beavles.

[@Nick-hi9gx]

I thought that was a marmot.

[@beneidem369]

Matt NEEDS more water storage.

[@mikelenz1990]

Ain’t that true?

[@Devin_Stromgren]

This is true at all times in every season. You could pick any random Timberborners episode and leave this comment.

[@romanmorozov6974]

I think the way he goes by sorting the water situation is by building a huge dam and releases water down to pumps/have pumps in the huge reservoir. It’s not conventional but it does work lol

[@tyelork]

He'll never build medium or large storage either, instead inefficiently massing lots of the small tanks lol

[@mikelenz1990]

@@romanmorozov6974 maybe

[@jase_allen]

5:45 I love how the guy who has moved beavers to an out of sight district to die a slow, horrible, and painful death multiple times is expressing doubt being able to trust his beavers. Though I supposed the beavers should be grateful he just mistrusts them instead of sending them to the death camp.

[@SlendisFi_Universe]

Matt wanting to shame the one trying to expose him being actually an architec does raise red flags 🤔

[@Beeb_boo]

DON'T LET THE COVER UP SUCCEED!!!

[@littlebear274]

I *love* how you realised you had to destroy a line of trees to get a path in, and then within literal seconds marked all the land in front of the new stairs for planting chestnuts, guaranteeing you're going to need to do the same thing.

[@OdinsTaco]

Taking a shot every time Matt says "high priority" would be lethal

[@codyopperman5930]

"The lake is flooding" Then shut the flood gate

[@angel102ify]

If only you had a floodgate at the very top of the mountain that you could close to save yourself so much hassle.

Hopefully this season will go more into the late game stuff.

[@brontesundstrom9288]

Timberborners Friday is my favorite day of the week!!!

[@cg-nx7jg]

25:30 pretty sure the stairs you put in cut off access to the trees planted on that level !!

[@josiahcox7313]

May I suggest that you put the Beavles on coasters? It'd be perfect for a 4 piece set! One face on each coaster, and it would complete the rhyme!

[@SnyperMK2000JclL]

Matt! Ill say it again but with this map and the intended settlement area (where you are currently established) youll actually be very surprised at the first Badtide. My mind was blown that i actually DID NOT lose everything around that small lake with 1 water source. It actually stayed below the 50% contamination level where the water starts killing crops and trees. So all my trees around the lake were left alive and safe throughout the entire Badtide. So DO NOT worry about the first Badtide and that water source lake as much as you are. If you are semi efficient at getting to the later resource productions and youll be able to surround that lake with "Contamination Barriers" before the second Badtide.(assuming your luck isnt horrid and you get them back to back.)

[@alenonimo]

I wanna see if you can tame the poocano. Like, put some leves on the side that spills in your city so that it spiills elsewhere, then make a river of poo and put some water wheels. That would be a nice revenge for the lost city of Poompey. :P

Hi people of timberborners

[@jamesscalzo3033]

Loved the video @RealCivilEngineerGaming! Can't wait for the next video man! I remember when BaronvonGames first Played "Timberborn", he made a Small City by Stacking the Huts on top of each other and Connecting them up with Scaffolding so that the Beavers could get to their homes. I'm wondering if that is still Possible with all the Updates that have come since then? That is indeed a Giggity Giggity Dam you've got there man, but I think I can suggest one better. Operation Bowel Blockage: The Damming of the Poocano! Plan A is to just Build a Dam around the Top of the Poocano in the Hopes that it'll keep the Poocano from Flowing Freely. Plan B is going to Be more Expensive in both Time and Resources, but it's to Build an Elaborate Dam System along the Poocano side with 5 space wide Channels and a Series of Flood Gates at each Segment of the Slope inside the Channels. If Plan A is Successful, You can then Go ahead with Operation Habitat for Beaverkind, where you'll be able to then Isolate the Remaining Pockets of Poova along the River and up the Poocano's Slope using Dams and having the Clean Water flow around them. If not, then under Plan B, you'll need to use the Pockets in the Dry Season as Containment Zones for the Poocano's Flow, which in turn means Less water to flow around. Habitat for Beaverkind will mainly have you Cutting the River Off around the Areas where you'll still have Poo Pooling on the map. Take the River for instance, you'll need to build a Dam on either side of the Poo Pool there during the Dry Season so that when it's over, the Poo doesn't contaminate the Water. This, in turn, will allow you to have Access to the Other side of the map and be able to rehabilitate the Area. Let me know what you think about this and I'll catch you in your next video man!

[@unchristened_Crimson]

Step 1. Close dam to avoid forest hut flooding Step 2. Delete the now unnecessary storage buildings on the water side of the dam to provide more space for the water to fill into. Just what I would've done to try an avoid the flooding

[@bacare1971]

10:35 I can't believe you moved the forester rather than just closing the floodgate.

I have been binging your Timberborners seasons and around season 4 I started singing along to the intro without even realizing it XD

[@QueenMonny]

I am absolutely dying laughing at the "18 beavers that probably all have 18 toes each". 🤣 The comment itself was funny, but what really killed me was the editor throwing in the picture of a beaver and then adding in all the extra feet. 🤣 💀

[@dawsonc9023]

Hope the new experimental will keep adding the highest wanted community items and make it a great update jump! They increased bad tide events to every other cycle after like cycle 2 I think. New power shafts and way better water physics makes me excited for the future!

[@williamtoccijr9579]

I want them to add the ladder mod into the official game…

[@oO0Xenos0Oo]

​@@williamtoccijr9579 To be fair, fiddeling around with staircases is just a part of the game. You want to build up and benefit from smaller distances, buffs and using less space? Sure, but therefore you have to figure out how your beavers can get up and down. Ladders are just easymode.

With folktails, you only need to grow some dandelions and build a medicine hut and you'll be protected from further incidents.. in fact, the antidote is so good at working they're usually back on their feet in the same time as an injured beaver. You can wade about with inpoonity!

about the trees, its best to have only oaks for logs as they give you most logs/day while with other trees it is nice to keep some pines for resin and chestnuts for chestnuts (also if you would get dynamite you could make water irrigation chanells to plant more trees to make more chanells and more trees (infinite infinite logs))

RCE: Rise the damn, nah... change the forester building place? YEAh!

[@Lysdexis]

Perfectly would be redirecting the bad water off the map using a dam across the top that you considered doing 3 or 4 episodes ago. That should be the next priority when the giga dam is done. Blocking off all bad tide sources or capping them. You could even sacrifice some members or build docon chambers and build a plug to stop the massive lake from ever being a problem again.

[@greenaum]

Yeah decontamination would be a great idea, if it doesn't need too much research. You can also make, I think, dynamite with bad water and not much else, so he could blow himself a nice channel to the edge of the map, no more problems!
