Im playing this map too, it took me 60+ hours and i still dont have golems, and my avrage well-beeing scire is 35. I hope it will only take 10 more hours to automate everything with golems, also, automating everything costs around 50000 science.

Timber-borners is probably the only series where Matt actually uses his engineering powers or RCE side for the betterment of the settlement without going a little too overboard like the poo Cano in the cities skylines videos and that . This should be a never ending series from Matt cause this is probably the second longest series and that too an OG one other than the Poly Bridge

Petition for Matt to deepen next to the farms. He runs out of water there multiple times every single episode.

[@samuels.4834]

This would be to easy

[@spthibault]

Agreed... also... would it not be advantageous to see if dynamiteing the rim of the spring could bring water in longer? Like at least a single 1x1 to see if the spring/s can still produce in dry seasons?

[@jtr697]

I'd say keep it going and get some golems built! Maybe a whole district (heavy metalton?) populated by only golems. Restarting would be cool but would end up going back through all the early game developments again. Would be nice to get into more of the late game technology that we haven't seen much of

[@--_DJ_--]

@@dukeofthedance8062 I am playing this map on hard mode, I have about 100 or so golems working away. They are a bit hard on resources and take a while to produce but I think by the time most people are at that point in the game resources are not all that much of a concern. They are great for construction projects, especially with golems feeding the drop-off points.

[@jimmy1501]

Matt you should definitely look into irrigation towers (in the water tab) if you wanna keep your crops and trees growing through longer droughts! Loving this series

[@Free-Asbestos]

Water dumps are better.

Water dump into exploded out square

[@hatman4818]

Yeah, I'd like to see this series go on indefinitely, it keeps me coming back to the channel every single time to see what new megaproject you have going on. There's still so much you could do. You could do giant bridges, skyscrapers (is there even a limit to how tall you can build when stacking housing?). I think some vacation homes on those little islands in the reservoir would be cool too.

[@benceacs1604]

You should continue this map, but if you start a new one I recommend Thousand Lakes. It's really fun to realize whats a good strategy for water dynamics there.

[@rickswordfire4774]

Came here to say the same. Imagine the megadams RCE could build.

[@Spacccee]

I would absolutely love to see this

I tried that map when I first got the game. It did not turn out well. I'll have to try it again now that I have somewhat of a clue what I am doing.

[@jacklenngren6590]

It's probably the hardest on hard, but still easy 😉 thousand lakes is the map I'm currently on playing Iron Tooth hard level. Already got 2 selfsufficiant colonies with about 40 beavers in each colony. The Helix map is a great beginners map though. Fu to play as well

[@benceacs1604]

@@jacklenngren6590 i liked the helix as well, but in the thousand lakes it's amazing how you can fuck up yourself with 3 levees

[@jacksonstarky8288]

Definitely keep this one going! You have an old structure to tear down in the new large reservoir, some connecting channels could be deeper and/or wider, and I haven't seen evidence that the flooding issues have been resolved yet.

[@webrosc]

Why not dig out the main water area so it's deeper and keeps the crops wet longer?

[@HashknightGaming]

I was thinking the samething.

[@julianlaresch6266]

It's totally doable as long as it stays at 2 deep. Then the water pumps can still reach.

[@CJFravel]

Yep, and add irrigation pathways into the crops with a dam at inlet from larger reservoir. All your pathways then become 0.5m depth water storage instead of wasted space and allows you to plant further inland. If you're going really deep in you can do a double depth channel to store even more water behind the dam. You can do a floodgate if you want to store a full 1m of water but it's more to micromanage and general I find it not worth it.

[@geilevideossos4709]

True

[@sykeassai]

my only question is how do you set and explode the dynamite when it has to be underwater?

[@Sanity016]

YES you should absolutely continue this season! also a tiny bit of feedback on this video I felt like a lot of progress was skipped, I would have liked to see more frequent progress updates or perhaps a time-lapse or something. Specifically, an entire dry season was skipped and I feel like things happened that we as viewers may have found interesting like beaver deaths and construction progress.

[@boarder6246]

Don’t end the season! Keep it rolling

[@michaels.3709]

I definitely want to see golems on this map! Would also love to hear your thoughts on the new experimental branch and the storage changes the devs have made. If they keep the changes, maybe the next season of Timberborners should start when the update is released out of experimental?

Love the Timberborners! Keep the season going until you survive a 30 day drought.

[@matthewwalker7027]

MATT - I am your American doppelganger. I am a process engineer for a plastic injection molding factory that makes parts for different car companies. Liqiud hydraulics and fuse boxes in Hondas, blinker switches, steering wheel covers, fan/thermostat knobs, and junction box mounts in Toyotas as well as many other parts that would not function properly, break/fail, or just be trash if it wasn't for my job, or the many others that could replace me if I lost this job lol. We are just a small company that makes small parts for larger companies that make/assemble the parts with other components and ship the finished goods to either a third party for more assembly or send them to the car manufacturing plants all over the world. I love your videos, and it really inspires me to do something similar, would you be opposed to me calling myself Matt - Real Process Engineer

[@GalaxyFalcon1]

Would love to see the season continue! Also, you should switch out the levees in certain spots for dams or floodgates so you can use the entire helix for water storage while still having the quick bypass route!

[@kaitlynh5782]

I would love to see more of this map! The new districts could cause some problems if you're not careful, but could also go amazingly.

[@Rulerofwax24]

I would like this to keep going at least a little more. We need to see the reservoir come in clutch for a 30 day drought.

[@oldthrasbarg641]

I'm running the same map, I'm further in but I moved all my water collection to the super-uber-dupa-mega dam lake. This will protect your water supply. I did blast from the river into engineering-ton to the crater scrap metal area. Keep this map going it's been great to watch. Bring on the golems! Only an architect wouldn't

[@ZeFoxii]

Continue the map, make old designs better more efficient like a true engineer

[@HenryAshman]

Personally I'd keep going, there's loads of map you can expand out to, and you can add stuff like the golems (and with update 3 not too far away, that might be a good time to start again). One of the things I did that I definitely recommend for that map is building some mechanical pumps between the dam at the bottom of the river and the new Giga-reservoir, as that way you can move the captured water at Heavymetalton that isn't that useful, back upstream so it can top up farms etc. You could even use the golem's & terraforming to do that instead of making levees. And surely you should do something with the strongest shaped lake right? Maybe a new farming district? There's some joke to be made there around strongly shaped things bringing life surely?

[@uncledrewslaps]

Definitely have to revisit it again if you decide to start a new one , we’ve watched engineerington grow and thrive as a civilization and you can’t leave them now at their strongest we have to see the fall 👌🏼👌🏼

[@caseyberger15]

Keep going! Terraform the entire thing. Be brutally efficient. Nothing can stop your beavers and golems

[@BaeronBubba]

Testing out the golems on this map would be perfect. There's an entire corner of the map you can turn into a plantation to try the different golem functions out with! I mean either that or you could make a beaver "retirement center" just to show off how well-off these beavers now are!

@@dukeofthedance8062 Skye Storme has some good beaver videos too. British. Overly complicated feats of beaver engineering. Snickering at immature jokes.

Looks great! Has anyone suggested lowering Engineerington's water location by one so you can still pump water, but it has twice the reserves before everything dries up? That would've at least given you a better safety net while building out these reservoirs and flood gates...

someone should tell Matt that the best way to store water is to make DEEP wells, not large the more area, the more evaporation if you spread the same as 5 blocks wide of water, into a 5 block deep well, you can store a lot more .....dynamite just make a lot of dynamite and deepen the spiral, and then make a damn that lets out just a *little* water into the river around your town so that you can basically trickle-feed it throughout the Dry season to keep it going

[@cavalieroutdoors6036]

"Do I want the water storage...?" Yes. You want the water storage. I used that area to the right of 'Aquaductington' as a natural reservoir on this map and easily make it through 25 days. I also dammed up that ring going down the mountain for some more water storage on top of that. I'm still trying to sort out if there's something I can do to make a bit more storage just in case a 30 day drought comes along.

[@shivharshbandkar1163]

I've followed you from the start of the series, and it's really getting more and more interesting every episode, bring in the golems soon! and loved the pace of this video in particular

[@Monsterman32]

Two tips for issues I've seen in your videos. The hungry and thirsty Beavers even though you have plenty of both can be solved with small storage along their work routes. I've also semi-solved the mass die off problem from too many births at once by keeping at least five adult beavers unemployed to fill those spots as they arrive.

I recently did this map, just to see what i could do with it... after something like 4 days of playing (around 48 hours real play time) I have done amazing things with this map. dams, settlements, ridiculous amounts of water storage. wish i could share the save with you. You're kinda in the right direction, but the aqueduct is a total waste of materials. I was able to fill that basin, and use it as a water reserve, without the aqueduct.

No rush. Helix is fun to watch and with golems coming up...keep going!

[@therealbahamut]

Personally I'd stop pumping the sections of water meant to feed your crops. They'll stay hydrated longer and reduce the risk of dead crops. Of course you could also use the water dump surrounded by dams or terrain to hydrate a large radius at all times. It's honestly an incredibly powerful tool and lets you move your farmland away from the rivers...so you can pump and store even MORE water.

[@The.Pickle]

*HINT...evaporation is calculated only on the top level of a tile. More surface means more evaporation, deep hole but small diameter means less evaporation. If you're spreading all that water across a one block deep area, all along that spiral "helix," then ALL that water is subject to evaporation!

Correct me if i'm wrong, the water only erapprates from the top 'layer' so if you build an aquqduct in the middle of the area you want to keep green. And build it to be the same heigt as the water source. Then it can pretty much, never run out? With all these lakes there is to much surface area?

[@horurbardal6490]

I've binged all of the Timberborners now, and I am shocked. You keep wondering what hp/cms means, considering it is water wheels that produce more power the faster they spin, it must be measuring water flow, like cm per second or something. Yours sincerely - a humanities scholar. P.s. google suggested cubic metre per second, which makes even more sense.
