Thank you so much for all the tips! Please keep them coming and hopefully we will survive! :p Get Timberborn here: bit.ly/3tUDvoh. Enjoy this episode and have an amazing day!

[@therealmatias3114]

no more city skylines? the series was getting so good

[@KvaGram]

Alright, while I wish you read my full comment, here's a critical mechanic you need to master. goods storage settings. Right now, you only use the default setting "accept" on everything. You need to organize your warehouses, tanks and piles. Some storage areas should be set to supplying (this would be where those resources are produced/harvested), others should be receiving (where those resources are consumed). Accept should only be used on central storage areas, where you want to store resources in bulk.

[@Colxy-]

What happened to cities skyline

[@redhyuda6824]

City skyline 2 plz continue the series

[@gangbalf]

Love the series! Sometimes it can be useful to use small warehouses instead of the scaffolding. Than you have cheap scaffolding and extra storage.

[@IronDino]

Keralis: I have no idea what I'm doing! Audience: Well keep doing it because it's working!

[@crak-_-4U]

Keralis you're a natural at this game. It's scary how good your decisions are knowing it's your first time playing. And love the overly complex buildings 😂❤

[@DynamiteTiger1]

Couldn't have said it better. This episode really showed how fast you're picking up the game. You're doing great Keralis!

[@Aranel_Alasse]

100 beavers by cycle 10?!! I don't think I've ever had that many before cycle 30. Keralis is an amazing beaver mayor!

[@fernswithbenefits]

Can’t wait for Keralis to discover dynamite and terraforming

[@Bennie58able]

You should make yourself like a check list for the bad tide and the droughts, so you know instantly which dams and pumps to close and which to open. You can even designate a reservoir that you can still pump out of during the drought. Make sure you update the list regularly. Thanks for the great content, I love it!

[@janeg7830]

that would be such a cool feature of the game if they had that!

[@interesting9688]

I wish this part was automated. It would be so simple to add a few if, then statements, that when a bad tide or drought starts or ends, a beave raises or lowers a dam. This 'feature' seems like more of a chore to me then a fun mechanic after ~10 droughts. One of the reasons I'm not buying this great game.

[@ChristiaanHW]

​@@interesting9688 there's a modded stream guage that you can download. You're abke to link it to the flood gates to have them automatically close, raise or open when a drought hits. But it has to be updated for the new bad tide update.

[@interesting9688]

@@ChristiaanHW I'll check it out!

[@CGVan420]

A tweak i would recommend would be to free up space and workers by getting rid of a lot of your berry storage and berry fields. Your storage capacity for berries went from 1.3k to 2.5k in this episode, but your beavers don't eat berries anymore. The beavers will only eat berries if there is nothing else to eat. Since your carrot and potato supply is enough to feed the beavers, your berries are untouched, and thus you're wasting space on storage, and manpower... err.. beaverpower as gatherers that are no longer needed. And all that greenspace being taken up by berry bushes can be used for more food production of the things they are eating.

[@Amokra]

that should be pointed out some how in game in my opinion, or at least give it a next level like the baked potatoes

[@vulcanfeline]

in all fairness, the iron teeth beavers still use berries after early game

[@CGVan420]

@@vulcanfeline This is true, but not for eating, only for baby making. If he was playing the iron teeth my comment would have been slightly different. But even as iron teeth, 2.5k berries stockpiled is WAY more than is needed (about 2.4k more) and you can get away with one small to medium patch of berry bushes and a single gatherer to sustain decent growth.

[@zipforth]

Really impressive city! If you unlock dynamite, you could deepen the reservoirs and rivers so they hold more water and don't dry out as fast. then you could pump water direct from the reservoirs easier

[@thomasfplm]

I would like to suggest that in some of the places you are building supports to put a structure partially on top of it, you can put some small warehouses. This way you can use the space, hide some of the storage places and have the food closer to the beavers workplaces.

[@aniket911]

Love it. More ep, please. Also, put more haulers since Coloney size has increased a lot. You can build houses close to work place so travel time to work place is reduced.

[@noogiesm]

I love keralis playing timberborn ❤️

[@velhom1277]

I got on your channel with cities skylines, but I love this series and I bought the game because of you! Thank you for the work ahah

[@VedelaEndi]

I was pleasantly surprised that you started this series❤ I love to watch chaos unfold. Tip: you should look and unlock bad water buildings, plus more fun stuff for your beavers. 😊😊

[@archivek4]

Loving this series so far!

[@nautil_us]

The dams look dam great! It might be interesting to look into dynamite in the future, making reservoirs with big walls is a good option but you can also make a big hole with lots of explosions!

[@Johndeereforlife7810]

Keralis, you are great at every part of timberborn exept making not overly complicated roads

[@Anser_Crystallan]

"It's okay, they died of old age" Wellbeing influences beaver life expectancy, so an unhappy (or thirsty) beaver will hit old age sooner. Happy, healthy beavers also walk faster and start work younger, so it's benefit all round.

[@vulcanfeline]

more food varieties, hospital beds here and there, decorations, and entertainment are all things that help beavers' wellbeing

[@Moglin3D]

I love this new series! You’re so enjoyable to watch❤

[@Not_Pilky]

I am currently working on a colony on the same map and its very cool seeing you make your decisions about water storage, placement etc. Loving this series!

[@cathyxu1301]

Hi Keralis! Your videos are so calming to watch, I love your building methods and commentaries! 🥰 I’ve been watching for many years and now I can’t live without them! 😄

[@judelloyd6683]

Keralis is very good at this game

[@monatae9725]

I ADORE this game ❤ the aesthetic + the gameplay are fantastic together

[@Not_Pilky]

With the Badwater, I generally try to divert it away from where all my water storage is, so where your mega dam is, I would have a combination of floodgate to that I would close when its bad tides to divert it away and stop it from infecting the good water and colony

[@arghya426]

I am liking this slow paced stream like videos keralis, instead of mega progress in short time videos

[@Squirrel_Warriors]

I'm really enjoying watching you play with your furry beavers!!

[@OwlFromValimus]

I love the beavers and the keralis mayor with my whole heart. I just imagine Keralis' skin from minecraft but dressed up as a beaver, like a costume. Beeveralis is so funny to me (with all due respect, of course) in my imagination.

[@vulcanfeline]

/runs screaming from a beaver with keralis eyes. j/k lol

[@TheOneBored]

the comments are tips and lessons for Papa K lol, it feels more like a cooperative thing than just watching someone that already knows everything.

[@Ox_ygen]

When i saw episode 1, i did not expect keralis to get this far in the game (no offense intended, this is just a hard game for me, but apparently not for keralis)

[@ruja86]

“A healthy beaver is a good beaver”

[@copperpippinYT]

[@christopherscanniello5491]

I'm loving this series Keralis. You're doing great. Give those beavers more water! You're playing with their lives! :+)

[@jeroenluitse653]

When the drought comes, let water flow towards the pumps to keep a little influx in water supply. Using everything up and building up your supply after every drought can be necking if your beavers reproduce during the drought

[@jeremymeats2105]

I can honestly say. I love your play through. Keep up the good work!

[@carliquinn713]

This is one of my favourite games. Happy to see you playing it!

[@redbell187]

When the bad water comes around, you need to divert it into a different direction, or else you're just going to have contamination in your main water supply

[@Amokra]

that's what the dam to the north? is for. whether or not he remembers it is another question :)

[@delta927canadien-francais5]

These are really pleasing to watch ❤

[@PumpkinDog33]

shift+delete removes a building/path without an extra pop-up. This is the best QoL nugget I've learned for the game in my short time playing.

[@tompeled6193]

I recommend connecting all the power sources with one another.

[@FoxCrewVideos]

Love watching keralis play this game 😁

[@starkey8428]

Wet fur is a bonus for beavers. Also, decoration items contribute to wellfare as beaver's bush for example, and they're quite science point cheap. Is the next episode will make a tribute to this famous swedish quy who rewards excellence in a field (not pewdiepie) ?

[@luigirota7964]

Wen you unlock dynamite and terraforming I suggest you to dig deeper reserves of water

[@Maiskean]

Love this I have been playing it lately the new bad water is for sure a nice new threat

[@zabbarot7642]

I wish they would add the ability to link jobs to the water depth poles. So they could automatically turn on or off as the water level changes.

[@zabbarot7642]

Stream gauge? I haven't played in a bit

[@sintanan469]

@@zabbarot7642 There's a mod that does that, but from my experience it's only useful for the early game. You reach a point of stability where you just stop caring about beavers sitting around idle because you have all the jobs filled and are producing robots.

[@DeDoentje]

Interesting. I’m building on the same map, so it’s interesting to see that you build your society different than me. More organized. But there is also overlap because we have to deal with the same environmental challenges. I am playing on easy though. That’s also a factor.

[@bondaretsig]

For FolkTaiks large water pumps are the best, paired with large tanks. One pump can easily support several large tanks, but it’s best to place tanks right near the pumps, this way no need for haulers to tend to them and pumpers will be self sufficient and efficient

[@braydenborbely]

It's to much until he starts planning next episode, noooo give me more Keralis!!!!

[@projectarduino2295]

Keralis discovers the wonders or water reservoirs. Wonder when he discovers weirs and inflow outflow theory?

Hiiii I'm a old fan i have watch your old videos and the ARK videos from the past Thay are fun to watch still keep up the good work ❤

[@quillsnolastname9340]

I love watching you learn this game. Reminds me of when I first saw the game.

[@JasminemPolyanthum]

I commented this on one of your earlier videos, but according to the released footage, none of your beavers have died from thirst or starvation. The only death message I've seen in these videos has been "Died of old age" which is best case scenario.

[@A11yR0ck3r]

Yay, more Timberborn! :)

No idea if this game have automatic water pumps that uses power instead of beavers? But that might be an investment for this town? As then you can have more beavers to help build and get logs and harvest food instead of pumping water

[@tisjstme5315]

Am loving Timberborn. It's different to Minecraft, but is good to watch you play other interesting built type games. Oh, what happened to Cities Skylines 2?

There is a mod out there to automatically rename beavers. Real Civil Engineer typically uses it for renaming after patrion members. Maybe can get a Beaver inspired build in hermitcraft season 10?

[@Amokra]

lol name the beavers after the hermits and see if scar dies or mumbo dies first :)

please, increase your wood industry before anything else (but after food & water supply) You will be always in need of gears and planks

[@KvaGram]

Would you look at that, episode three. And I'm early. Alright. I'll do as last time. Meanwhile, since watching your last episode, I started a new game, on hard. First I played on hard since the badwater was added. So my mind is a bit more fresh on strategies right now. Different map though, so maybe not as applicable. Anyway, let's resume my harsh judgement on just how much of a newb Karalis is. >:D 0:50 Acually, yes. It's gonna be very resource heavy. But clear those birch trees there, and build levees along the edge of the map. Water cannot leave the map from a tile with a watersource, but it can at any other edge. So you can build up a reservoir right there, and water will build up above the source-stones. 3:40 Replace one of those dams with a 1-height floodgate, and you'll have a small reservoir, presuming you get some inflow into that dry river. 4:00 When making a temporary crossing, use stairs and paths instead. You lead a population of beavers. They don't mind a short swim, in fact they prefer it. Wet fur is one of their secundary needs, its fullfilled though being in water, or a shower. Also, making stairs are much cheaper than a brige of platforms. 4:26 Good catch. That is also the downside of the above. You should however still do so. you can demolish a stair to prevent a beaver from entering badwater. 5:30 Good job. That is the start of a good dam. However, replace the top levees with dams (building). That way you get much safer overspill protection. 5:38 Beavers can reach one block up, and infinitely downwards. So yes, the beavers can reach that construction. 9:07 Good plan. Here's how to improve it. Use levees to funnel the waterflow into the waterwheels. 9:17 Yeah, like, replace those platforms you just placed with levees instead. That will create a slight funnel, and improve the power output. 10:56 You'll be fine, it will be over in 1.2 days. But imagine if this was 10 days. you'd run out of food. This is when you want to have an emergency fluid dump, to activate when you need just a little bit of water to run your farms. 11:15 You want to use levees here instead. you don't need water going though here, in fact you very much DO NOT want that. It would just be wasteing the water. You got that planned dam (structure) by the river to dump badwater. This is what you need to learn. Dam-buildings let water pass though it at half-block. Levee buildings let water though when it goes fully over it, at a full block height. Moreover, a levee is cheaper to build than a dam. 11:22 And now floodgates? What are you doing, Keralis? That is a bad plan, and a waste of resources. 13:38 You want to set those to supply, so your haulers know what to do. That is unless you intend to also build your smelter there as well. Highly recommend you place down a watertank set to recive there as well. That way, your scrappers won't go all the way back to the colony center just for a sip of water. 14:39 Whaaat? You wanna do a what to the beavers? But let's say, hypothetically, you just set up a new city district far away, in the middle of nowhere, open up the transfer menu, and move all contaminated beavers there, with no food or water, then hypothetically that should solve that problem But you would never do such a thing, would you? That would be evil.. DO IT! EMBRACE THE DARK SIDE OF THe.. uhh.. beaver colony management power. 16:54 Congratulations. That looks like a fine reservoir. But it still needs work. you want to protect that reservoir water from the badtides. 19:42 And here is one of the annoying small bits of the game. The beavers can buld downwards, but they cannot demolish downwards. Your beavers won't reach that berry bush. Either temporarally remove those stairs, or make a platform-bridge from that dam. 20:13 Ahh. Keralis' first acidental flood. We all do it at first. It takes a while to learn how to avoid those. Good thing you cought it early. That could have gotten real ugly. 20:32 I belive I gave this tip last episode. When you build-and-forget a floodgate for use later, set the height to 0 right away, to avoid nasty suprises, like the one you just had. 24:00 As of right now, height does not have any effect of windmills. I don't think that will change. This game prefers to "invent its own physics". As it prudly says on the gravity battery. 24:20 That said, a raised windmill does look better. As folktails, you should be producing some paper at this point. you should look into that. 30:28 That one small warehouse cannot be reached. But I'm sure you'll notice that soon enough. 32:22 Aaaaand the penny drops. 33:16 You are in a crisis. You haven't learned this mechanic yet, it seems, but this is the time to crank up the work-time from 16h to, say 20h. you can (and should) reduse it back later. 34:38 Adding more pumps will only be marginally helpful. A thirsty beaver works slower. Ironically, if the beaver at the pump is thisty, it will get the water it needs much slower. Which is why you want longer worktimes, not more workplaces. 40:00 Again, you need to set that pile to recive, so your hulers know what to do. Right now, the scappers will just fill the local piles, once those are full, they will drag their scrap, ony by one, all the way to the new underground pile you are building her. Meanwhile your smelter-beavers will walk all the way to your scrapper's piles to get scrap metal.

[@owenvanbruchem1863]

I'm really enjoying the series watching it while playing it myself. You should make a resovoir like a BIG one. i did it on a playtrough back in update 1. If you make it big enough, you can get running water throughout the dry season. (Mine wasn't that big, but he had personality) and make it 4 deep so you can use the big pumps on it!

[@creeperthebest4487]

[@ricorommeldumaplin4822]

Skye Storme also faced the same situations in this game and nearly ended his series because he always forgets to open the floodgates when he needed and close them during the disasters, so he installed a mod that will automatically controll the floodgates and water pumps to work and open during the rainy seasons and close and stop working during the bad tides and drought he even wished that such a mod should have been added in the vanilla because that is rather helpful in times where one is too busy to notice anything in improving the lives of his colony
