Hi Skye, I love the decision to make the BAPS from terrain instead of levees. I always preferred the natural look over the artificially modelled BAPS. May many enjoy life drinking from the sweet liquid of life within them.

13:37 - It's over 9000.... hp. Smart water wheel design, compact and efficient

[@nurmr]

50 wheels at 60 hp/cms and 3 cms from the badwater source is exactly 9000 hp.

[@nurmr]

and then (as pointed out in another comment) slightly less because of evaporation

[@RevenantMike]

Whew, so glad that trapped beaver is safe. Maybe he's at the same farm my childhood pets are at!

[@SkyeStorme]

Could be! ;)

[@demonicbunny3po]

One correction about the faps. The lump on the large water wheels can be counted as the connector between the water wheels. So the number of space at the same z level between the small and large water wheels is the same. I do agree that the material difference massively favors the small wheels, but in terms of power to space… I think the larger ones win. That said, if you do build over the water wheels, the small ones fit into a tighter hole easier so you can enjoy more cushion above to push more utility out of your faps. So you are right about which one to use in the end, but there are more consideration points that may matter in a slightly different situation.

[@SkyeStorme]

The 'lump' on the side is WAY worse than that, I can have as many compact water wheels in a row as I want, can't do that with large water wheels because of the 'lump'. Also the 'lump' stops you from turning the power immediately 90 degrees by placing a 3 or 4 way connector. The 'lump' makes the large water wheel much more inflexible. It makes you 'work around' it. The use cases for the large water wheel are limited and very specific. Essentially .. it sucks.

[@renevile]

it's really nice to listen to a person that loves what they're doing. you and Picture are a joy to listen to, and can lift even the darkest of moods.

[@rdasher7747]

BAPS and FAPS, your naming convention continues to be peak

[@beng3936]

Later in the game your beavers may require the Freaking Large Awesome Power System. Loving the series. Thank you.

[@SkyeStorme]

lol ;)

[@-Infex-]

The F.A.P.S. is genuinely a genius system. It's not the most powerful or efficient, and naysayers will point out (not incorrectly) that it's not really all that versatile on most maps due to the placements and availability of bad water sources. But Skye understands that he's not playing "most maps," and that's their true quality.

[@abelgeorge4953]

I must say its quite satisfying to watch skyes brain work at peak speed. Great work skye

[@guingstongg1287]

Now that's a pair of BAPS! Haven't seen them but that thumbnail got me pumping with excitment

[@garyparsons7933]

The sluices on the B.A.P.S should have been higher up the wall. Then you'd have had proper B.A.P.S. with working N.I.P.S. Nominal Irrigation Pressure relief System.

[@cathygrandstaff1957]

Yeah but everyone knows the N.I.P.S. hang lower as they get older so it’s fine.

Hi Skye, been a long time watcher since the days of banished and cities skylines, I am sorry to hear that you have had a lot of negative Nellie’s in the comments lately, I just wanted to say thank you for all the wonderful content you have been producing, when I first heard about timberborn I couldn’t really understand the fuss about it but when you came back I gave your series ago and absolutely loved, while this isn’t a game I would personally play I have loved every bit of your series, from the jokes with picture, the creative build to the story telling of your beavers, I also love that picture has created these adorable beaver pictures too, in short Skye, you and picture are awesome and and all those negative Nellie’s can buzz off and go create their own content if they don’t enjoy yours, it’s not easy what you do every day and I appreciate and applauded your hard work, so thank you Skye for being you!

[@pictureperfect.gaming]

Hey Naomi! 👋🏻Thank you so much for your kind words and support, it means a lot to us both! 😊💕

[@naomiford834]

😊

[@Veklim]

Looking awesome, I must say. I was going to suggest you replaced the power shaft along the 'east' side of the F.A.P.S. with charging ports, but then you moved the path and built the number crunchers and platforms there instead. Still worth remembering that they transfer power though, I often use them in place of 3-ways anywhere there's an adjacent path. On a side note, you are an awesome human who brings laughter and entertainment to many, many people. Those who detract from such often shout the loudest, but they are a minority and not worth your time, effort or attention. We love you both, just try to remember to be kind to yourselves, you deserve it.

[@SkyeStorme]

Thank you :)

Another great episode. Can't tell what I'm more excited about. The next build or the new puns. Keep it up.

[@Valkrss]

Great episode. Seems like progress is rapidly accelerating now.

[@MrPanurgos]

13:35 considering the fact that you let build 50 power wheels and the badwater source produces at about 3 cms, I'd estimate that you get out 3*60*50 -> 9000hp out of your F.A.P*ing System. Reducing the outcome due to evaporation by a rough 10%, you still might get a little more than 8k hp 🙂 Hopefully that's enough for finishing the well proportioned B.A.P.S. (Edit: removed automatically generated link)

[@onemerlin]

I check the math. Sorry Skye, it'll be UNDER 9000. You needed a few more for proper memage.

[@MrPanurgos]

18:38 tbh, I was totally overestimating the impact of evaporation... Keep up your great and creative work, Skye, it's much appreciated!

Gorgeous. That's all I can say about those beautiful baps, my friend! As for them being lopsided? As far as I'm personally aware, _natural_ baps are ALWAYS a little lopsided.

[@gummisatan8349]

Guessing about 10000-11000 power roughly.. oh sorry i forgot proper etiquette.. DEAR SKY.... AS AN AVID WATCHER OF YOUR CHANNEL, I GUESS ABOUT 10000-11000 POWER:

[@Blackwing2345635]

I think the real problem with large water wheels is that they... Use the flow of only one tile. I was too lazy to test it better, probably it is an average of two tiles under the axis, but it doesn't really matter - it is not a sum. If you have 4 wide channel with 2.2cms each and two large wheels, you will get only 2*2.2*270=1188 power, I was so disappointed when I found this out( In comparison for the same 4*15 section you can get 2*3 large wheels or 4*5 small ones. With 2.2cms each tile It is 3564hp for large wheels and 2640hp for compact ones - 26% difference. AND you don't need an additional 1 tile width for shafts AND it is 3 height instead of 5 AND you can direct those 4 tiles into ONE to sum the flow into ONE tile channel. If it floods - dynamite down until it doesn't and put wheels on platforms. Or don't narrow the channel that much, whatever is more suitable for your design. And now the funniest part. In the same footprint as 2*3 large wheels (4 tiles for channel + 2 tiles for channel walls + 1 tile for shafts, 15 tiles structure length) I was able to squeeze in 13 compact power wheels in a snake 1-width channel. With a single bad water source (3cms) results in the *simulation* (not calculated, real output) are: - Large ones: 1208 hp (1215 calculated) - Compact ones: 2317 hp (2340 calculated) Cost of the large wheels structure (assuming dirt walls and without shafts supports, including shafts): 440 logs and 480 planks = 920 logs. Cost of the compact wheels structure (same assumption, including shafts for links): 717 pure logs. It is with a dirt bed and outer walls, but 30 levees for inner walls. So if you make inner walls with dirt instead - it is 357 logs and 180 dirt) It includes 30 levies to form the snake-shaped channel. Plus you need to form a 1 deep 5 width channel (75 single dynamites) for the structure instead of 2 deep 4 width channel (60 double dynamites) for large wheels. It is hilarious xD

backwards sluice gates up to middle height, then one with correct alignment, topped off with more backwards gates, that will make the point.

Hi skye just a thought maybe we can make the B.A.P.S bigger in the future then once atlantis is done remove the B.A.P.S and flood the whole map :) that would be cool .

@@SkyeStormewho doesn’t love bigger BAPS?

[@Makro3d]

YESSSS A FAPS to the BAPS. What more could a grown beaver wish for?! Got to say, hadn't really thought about the compact vs large water wheel like that. I just put in the mega big boy water wheel because it looks cooler than the compact ones, but in terms of efficiency that's probably not the best choice.

[@TheLoiteringKid]

I need to retest some things with the updated water physics, but making a perpetual motion (other then needing to replace evaporation) waterworks that had ~20k hp in excess after powering all the mechanical pumps was always fun. Started on the basic idea of it took X (don't remember the numbers off hand and they surly have changed since then) number of large waterwheels to power a single mechanical pump from its own output, then added pumps on the input side till it maxed out at 1.9 water height(IE the pumps limit at that height) into the first wheel, then drop water level 1 at the end and run it back through another X+1 wheels, repeat till at the lowest input level of the mechanical pumps, at an additional pump to take from a reservoir to keep it topped up from evaporation, only connect the pumps to the top row's power, the other rows are all for whatever else you need.

[@robsypes]

great content man! I laugh out loud at least once(most of the time multiple times) per episode. Really enjoy your style of commentary... keep up the good work !

BAPS and FAPS, Skye's favourite things in this world

[@h4z4rd42]

Just wow. Impressive baps. And the other one too...

[@cameronvanatti]

If this was realistic those straight power shafts between the wheels would cancel out the rotation of the wheels and they wouldn't spin at all because there's an even number of rows. Good thing this is a video game 😂

[@typ0w]

Happy to see you're enjoyment of the game is back instead of ongoing frustration. Wondering if the every-other-day release schedule has removed some of the pressure and brought back more of the fun to you. Definitely feeling your joy here. Looking forward to more videos.

[@Savantrovert]

NGL, I had to look up the definition of the word Anorak out of morbid curiosity. Leave it to Skye to casually drop an obscure word that has multiple meanings into a vid that most will remember for all the base chuckles about BAPS and FAPS and such. Skye is such a lemon-flavored Anorak with the way he caters to all level intellects in his audience. Bravo sir, you truly are a cunning linguist

[@GDMonty1029]

The F.A.P.S. is such a good idea! They’re small enough that you can build them anywhere on this large map. Plus, with 3D water physics, I bet you could stack arrays of F.A.P.S. on top of each other, if you want more power without more land area.

[@show_bob_and_do_vengeance]

Only your indusrial pile placement can fix my OCD

[@johndawson123]

At 31:40 you could have reduced the height of the cover for the badwater spawn by using platforms and 4 block overhangs, which might make it even tidier, but likely you've got a plan that you preparing for.

[@tadcammans8045]

Dear Skye, you have inspired me to try out all the wonderful changes with Update 6. You make it look so easy. I struggle with mid-game progression the most. Do you have any suggestions for order of focus to bridge the gap between having enough food, water, and logs and being able to transition quickly to bots? Also, if you are just planning on closing off a bad water source, did you notice that sealing it off with platforms, impermeable floor, & levees/sluices is much cheaper than a bad water dome? Thanks for your content...AND commentary!

[@SkyeStorme]

Cheaper .. but then you don't get badwater all year round As for advice, it depends which faction you're playing. But in your question you already have the solution. Focus on Food, Water, Logs .. I'd aim for a beaver population of around 125 .. make sure you have plenty of haulers! :)

[@tadcammans8045]

@@SkyeStorme Thank you for the advice! Regarding the bad water dome alternative, using at least one sluice instead of all levees, you can still turn it on and off while getting the cost savings.
