Timberborn Ep 4 Floodgate

→ I think you have slightly too much beavers for your current food supply. Maybe look into casavas? They have a better farm space → food ratio (though they need the powered fermenter to process it). Even better will be corn, but getting the food factory is still quite a bit off. (Also you could plant some mangroves in your river, assuming you solve the bad tide problem. I don't think that will slow down the river. It's also not the most efficient food in land usage terms, but I guess you are not using your river for anything else.) Also, you certainly need more water storage. Maybe invest into gears, so you can get the medium tanks? → 20:48 I think you can build what you want to build here (levees with floodgates in the middle) with just two stairs. (Unless you want to avoid beavers getting into the bad water, then I guess putting it on platforms is good.) → 22:44 "Being able to trap some water up here would probably be beneficial as well" - Yes, you need vertical water storage (or in big barrels), not in flat lakes, to survive these long droughts and bad tides. The sluice gates can help to keep your irrigation canal watered, without losing water off the map.

Yes I agree. I think trapping water up there is a must until I have dynamite or enough resources to build better reservoirs.

You need to plan for a badtide ASAP!

[@DisturbedZ]

I agree
