Timberborn BADWATER! 1 - AN ACTUAL BADWATER START - UPDATE 5 NEW MECHANICS! Let's Play, Guide

[@N_Z]

Every beaver: *working hard to stay alive. Woodcutter near the farm: *chilling for almost whole episode)))

[@MandaloretheSavage]

Here are some tips from a long time player. Careful when juggling jobs early game, you floated an unemployed beaver for a few days. Also leave a road in your forest for the forest to plant in a larger area. You should build dams at the ending edge of the higher levels with stairs as needed. You should leave all the berries in place until steady farming is in place. I play iron teeth so berries are always stabe income. Try building in reverse, you get a portion of what you build back so reclaim the piles, so build the outer layers first building inwards. Use build priorities, only the highest for break glass emergency, second highest for important works, lower amd lowest for long term plan but there are other priorities. Your bridge would be better served if you inlock the t2 platform and bulid it level without the extra stairs.

Def release the ‘extra’ episodes from the ‘wrong’ map. Can’t have too much Timberborn.

[@PauxloE]

An easier solution for the "crops not watered in the drought" problem might be just two dam pieces just at the steps in the river, to hold enough water there.

KoS: it's fine it's fine, we have saved our beavers form the threat of death! Meanwhile Shaktila, having died of starvation: Am I a joke to you?

[@KatherineOfSky]

Oh dear

When you had Badtides seasson after 6 thats good. Normal there is 40% chance for a Badwater tides and before the 6. Cycle its a only a 14% chance of them on Normal and to learn that new system i think to only deal with Badwater tides is a good choice. Not every Map needs the Badwater Pools, and that Explosives need bad water on a map only with Badwatertides makes it a good Recource Management, since capturing badwater for processing is a Restiction you can Work with.

Journal of Charlie Beech Cycle 2, day 17 I had the strangest dream not long ago, where we were starting a new colony... strange, I know. But this one was stretched so thin on trees! It was like a nightmare, being unable to build, and everyone was worried we might not be able to build a forestry hut. But it was just a dream... so strange. Tom thinks maybe I went a bit barmy from hunger. Maybe I did. Though why trees? Maybe the idea of not enough crops was too much for my head to bear. Maybe we need a head-whittler in our colony.

[@poelmeister]

I have a Badwater Gulch every time I eat at Chipotle. Distasteful jokes aside, hope we’ll get a beautiful village. :)

[@Patricio4Christ]

😆 I'm sure the restaurant wouldn't be happy about it.

[@cjrecord]

"Bad water". "Down the drain". We see you, KoS. (And we love it!)

[@MandaloretheSavage]

After watching the video last night in a half-daze stupor, because I needed to be sleeping and not watching youtube, dang you KoS...you are too enjoyable to watch at the end of the day to relax. So I wrote up this little short story to help begin the series. hope you enjoy Deeply the claw sinks into the dry earth, as Sky pulls herself up to the small plateau she sees what she fears. A cliff so high and steep that she feels the weight of the past weeks on her shoulders before reaching down to the first of her companions to pull them up. She knows it will be a difficult conversation ahead. But now there can be no delaying it. "My Friends. We can travel no further with the ease of the past several seasons. We may be able to cross that ridge but the journey here has cost us so much, we have precious little of our supplies and lost too many good beavers in the crossing." "You would have us build our new homes here so close to springs but so far from food and water." Boop declared before pointing across the deep-cut river in front of the party. " It is only a bit further to a good landing and we can damn the river easily at these narrows." "We have precious little left of rope and planks to easily cross the river, Boop," Stick pipped in with his infectious merry tone, "we should establish ourselves here and recover our strength and supplies before pressing forward." "Stick has the right of right, Boop," Sky spoke with a firm but gentle tone that demonstrated why the group had stayed together for so long and had gotten so far. "There is good timber, and plenty of it, right beside us on these hills, and enough berries to sustain us while our carrots grow. We will establish ourselves here for a time and recover before we move on." Point at the ridge line, Sky wishes to impart her concerns without raising the group's fears about the dangers ahead of them. "We stout and hardy beavers are great builders and engineers and we are able to overcome anything with time, materials, and dedication. So let's do that here. Boop is right about the landing being a perfect place to farm but let us not let "Perfect be the enemy of Good" reciting the Sacred words of their forebeavers." "Yes," Khorlane interjected, a beaver who loves the slow waters of a pool. "This will be a good place to build a Center, upon this hill and we can damn back to the falls we just crossed anchoring on this and the hill over yon. A good deep pool to establish ourselves and build our supplies up." Attempting to mutter quietly but the keen ear Sky caught Boop's words, "This is a bad gulch to build in." "Bad Gulch indeed is a good name for our new colony, Boop. You have such good ideas!" Sky Beamed showing her mighty teeth, let us get going friends, we have much work to do before the dry season. And thus the Bad Gulch Colony begins.

[@KatherineOfSky]

Wow! Thank you! Added to an upcoming ep.

[@TotallyNotAFox]

Wouldn't be a KoS colony without a little starvation to show the little beavers who's in charge ^^

[@OSUCharger]

I just created a monster lake of the stuff I use my 3x landscape gates for. Sadly we need it for the new dynamite and extract. If I'm vigilant I keep the water flowing and divert at last minute to fill the lake. Then I'll have it for the 100 days it seems until next bad tide. Radiated beavs are bad tho. Takes forever to right them.

[@KatherineOfSky]

Yeah, it sure does

[@brianmiller1077]

So you're better off chopping oaks and leaving the occasional Birch

[@OSUCharger]

@brianmiller1077 best off finding a way to separate the bad tide as well as retain it for use. It kills everything. My poor mangroves...

3:15 unsubscribe by using the enable check box.

[@IamHattman]

I gotta ask, around 40 minutes, why levee around the river instead of just across at the second level? You would lose accedd to the lower level when it flooded, but it would water more of the upper level being used for trees, and would cost way less wood, as well as providing a bridge to the other side.

[@KatherineOfSky]

Don't worry, I have plans for that.

[@brianmiller1077]

The lower level would make a nice aquatic farm area once the trees and bushes cleared out.

[@Myriako]

Thank you for this video! 😀🌼

[@frantremblay1630]

Am I the only one whose biggest game improvement they still want to get is something more than just the Solid tip on the loading screen?

[@Seedzification]

Oaks take 30 days to grow, you're gonna unlock forester and plant pines and pines will grow, before you even get to 30 days. Your oak seed trees do nothing.

[@KatherineOfSky]

huh?

[@PauxloE]

Translating: Long-term, oaks are the best investment (most wood per area×time), but short-term a faster growing tree like pines might be better. Though here just building a bridge to the other side of the river to chop the trees there might be enough short-term.

[@michaelpporter]

I thought there was an edge of map bug with dams, where water will drop to .2 not the .7.

[@KatherineOfSky]

I haven't heard anything about that. In any case, I don't have any dams on the edge of the map

[@donarnold2249]

Thanks 👍 again 😊

[@liesdamnlies3372]

I was playing on Lakes and I got the whole chonky auto save thing too fwiw. Gonna play this map though now, and glad I watched the video too because I also thought you’d get bad water filth immediately; that screenshot they took is a bit misleading.

[@adamlewis6475]

@19:07 What is a "seed tree"? First time I've heard that term. Just a tree you're avoiding cutting so it spawns more trees?

[@KatherineOfSky]

Exactly

[@A11yR0ck3r]

Is it really Timberborn if you don't accidentally starve or dehydrate your beavers?! :)

[@chuckgenglerjr.2177]

Badtide kills entire town "whatcha going to do about it ?" Start new and learn from mistakes says everyone trying update 5 exp

[@KatherineOfSky]

I've never lost a colony to badwater before

[@katathoombs]

Whaaaaat nine episodes down the drain? Oh man!

[@vonlobo]

For me, this video doesnt want to play. I hope its just problem on my end, but all outher videos are fine. Just for info.

[@Phalcon777]

Stop just you mine won't play either. I've tried like six or seven other videos that work fine but for some reason this one is not

[@monkeyoperator1360]

think its still uploading

[@KatherineOfSky]

Seems like a YT issue. Try again later, and hopefully it will work!

[@vonlobo]

​@@KatherineOfSkyits ok now 🤘🥳🖖 tnx for beavers ❤

[@Jay-st2qq]

I haven't seen much of your Timberborn stuff (yet). So why do you call it a latte hut?

[@Carmwah]

That 360p life fr fr

[@KatherineOfSky]

YT processes from the lowest level first, so try again later for 1440p

[@HopeB555]

Let's goooooo

[@fabiencrescent6503]

44:30 "Damn not enough food, the crops are dead !!". Proceeds to go 3x speed 😂 Sorry but my karmic persona believes the all-gaz-no-breaks-at-beginning Timberborn players somehow deserve to have their beaver tribes wiped out 😅

[@KatherineOfSky]

Well, don't worry, I've played this game before.

[@MandaloretheSavage]

You can use pavement than delete it...its what i do.

[@pixxa37]

You need to install a different version of Mod Manager, the one made for update 5 Edit: I am so sad you chose that map... it's horrid!

[@KatherineOfSky]

Seems good so far

[@pixxa37]

@@KatherineOfSky I don't enjoy all those very little levels. With dynamite it's gonna be ok, but in the meantime to find room even for a plank maker is crazy :(

[@abu3lo_21]

2010 again 😆

[@KatherineOfSky]

Huh?
