When World Maximum Height Just Isn't Enough in Timberborn! (Update 6)

YES.

Yep!

[@torstenhokamp3767]

Ja. 😀

[@bladeofakira]

Yes

[@donzapatero4808]

Always

[@GamerBadger82]

Biffa! Up the number of workers bringing stuff to the bored crossing! You have 32 beavers trying to survive and build from only 4 beavers bringing supplies

[@wilkoufert8758]

Should up the number of assigned to 8 each

[@iaiain]

yup, this is your solution. Increasing the haulers won't make much difference. You're better off prioritising the district crossing over the haulers. Numbers on the kettle side not so much a problem as the import storage is way more efficient compared to export storage locations. You probably won't need either the farm or lumber at all (and all the food processing you haven't built yet... and the 20+ more beavers to do those jobs). Best would be to have bots in the district crossing.

[@Fez_Vrasta]

Also those have a huge transportation bonus compared to other beavers

[@MattRio42]

Only district crossing workers will bring goods to the crossing.

[@ragerancher]

I disagree, a better thing is to build storage for the required materials right near the crossing point and then minimise the number of border crossing workers and make them haulers instead.

[@anubis282]

You've planted a whole lot of crops in the new area with the majority of them needing a processing building to turn them into food. Might be better just replacing with kohlrabi crops as a base food and the rest keep importing.

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

Yeah, I forgot that..I blame the heat! 😅

[@anubis282]

@@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines well the heat was fun while it lasted, back to the usual UK rain now

[@Lunalogic94]

Who's going to tell him that the new dam is a whole block lower than the main reservoir. That's why it keeps overtopping.... looking good otherwise 👌 keep having fun 😁

[@anthonymudge9768]

Yeah a Sluice would fix his problems 😄

[@williamtoccijr9579]

It’s nice to have a relaxing episode of Teamberborn after a chaotic episode of The TimberBorners

[@ozziemate]

The new town needs to be called “kettleborn”

[@huntermorgan9565]

I agree or called it the dam of giant water tank or something water something

[@MrFallenhero363]

I second the motion for “kettleborn”

[@Alpha_Digamma]

I third the motion for "kettleborn"

[@J1mmyharggs]

Excuse me… Kettleborne!

[@andy7bianca]

cant wait until Biffa accidentally removes a block and floods the whole town down from the doom cube

[@marcrubin9359]

Something I discovered recently is building power connection underground. If you have a lot of power produced somewhere you can TNT the ground and build platforms over it. It's really fun to have power just pop up in the middle of a beaver city from far away.

[@SmokeandSpirit]

"im only going to plant oaks else everyone will cry about it" 😂 Gosh Biffa you know us too well.

[@TrevorReimer]

I will always plant a random mix of oaks birch and pines and you can't stop me. Makes the map look so much more interesting and visually appealing. Just need a few extra spaces for the same amount of wood.

[@LordPhobos6502]

I only plant oaks and pine for building materials (logs and pine resin) - I only plant other trees if they're for food.

[@DangerousAsh]

Surely a district with a massive mug on it should be called "Coaster" something. Coaster del Sol?

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

🤣🤣🤣

[@DISCOSHOEBOX]

You've turned RCE mad with priorities. If everything is a priority then nothing is. Rotation of ladders matters.

[@takumi2023]

If you want to start flooding the pool, just use one block at the mouth of the gap for now and then use platforms to the top. This will at least allow for 1 tile deep pool. Just have to build stairs over the levee.

[@CaribouKH]

Keep'em beavers going! At 33:40 rotate the ladder and the path will work. Also you could cover the Teapool with overhangs from the top of the wall. ..and get well, a ton of Covid going around again.

[@chadmckean9026]

' overhangs from the top of the wall' this will not hold water, the overhang as a built in platform water will flow through on the bottom and you can't build a 'natural overhang

[@crowaust]

The Ladder should have the rungs to the side of the path not blocking the path. The 2 high floodgates are at a lower level compared with the 1 high on the m reservoir, swapping out the single high for a sluice gate with a downstream height max might make it easier to manage and not waste water going over top of the 2 high floodgates. Increase the number of beavers in the district crossing, only having 4 on each side is not enough. Ideally you want storage extremely close on both sides of the district crossing as buffers that the normal haulers are filling/emptying from (depending on the direction of the goods movements) with your district crossing beaver moving from the buffer storage to/from the crossing.

[@ShortFuseNL]

Yea this

[@GamerBadger82]

27:42 Look at the water level inside the reservoir; it is one block higher than the water level outside of the reservoir. If you want it to get to equilibrium, you need to put levees to the same height as the reservoir and replace the newly built dam gates with three high ones (or at least an extra set of levees under two high ones)

[@SmokeandSpirit]

Or have a sluice feeding it instead at that same second level set to fill it only when its under 2.00. Then it cant overtop either.

[@GamerBadger82]

@@SmokeandSpirit a like it! that's a lot less work. Just need to lower the reservoir water level before removing the existing dam gate….

[@Grz349]

Hope he sees this. 😅

[@IamHattman]

​@@GamerBadger82Nit even that, he could build the sluice gates and a new section of dam wall right adjacent to the existing one, then demo the old wall section after the new one is finished.

[@jNetDowling]

@@IamHattman that's what I would do - just delete the row of platforms providing access when the floodgates were built

[@squallloire]

Yay! I was worried we weren't getting one this week for a moment. My Saturday morning is saved! Saw on Discord that you're under the weather again - get well soon Biffa, we love your content ♥

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

Thanks, yeah Covid again..... 😷

[@wilkoufert8758]

@@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylinesget well soon

[@BonziRelee]

@Biffa, the ladder issue, is because the path cannot go through the ladder part. It you rotated the laffer at 33:40 by 90 degrees, it would have all worked fine, as there is a clear run under it

[@takumi2023]

Can beavers exit the ladder to the side? I alway thought they had to exit the ladder straight from the back at the top. If this is the case, then the stairs are in the way.

[@ArnoModelstate]

26:50 Course it's 2 lower then the supply of water :D, It's just going over the floodgate. Could put 1 gate 1 step open to prevent the flooding OR build up levies and then 2 dams in the middle to keep from overflowing.

[@LGJ86]

As an emergency measure you can migrate your staving population back to the main district for moment so they eat and drink just to save them from (pause for end of sentence) dying.

[@zjshafe]

25:30 if you wait a second for the big reservoir to fill up, you can set it to .9 and it will eventually over flow. The reason the floodgates at the bottom are overflowing is because they are lower than the reservoir. Maybe raise up the lower floodgates

[@petersmith5886]

You should dynamite the ground as low as it can go inside the water storage thing for maximum storage potential

[@ragerancher]

If you click and hold on the text for the level selector then move your mouse up and down, it will move the level up and down much faster than clicking on the arrows. There's also no point having tons of gates, you just need as many as you need enough to get the water through at the rate you want, anything above that is just a waste of resources. If you never intend to drain an area (eg for irrigation), then you are better of just putting dams at the top. Also tearing my hair out at how you can't see the double floodgates are 1 block lower than the main dam...

[@Gabiathan]

Biffa I'm absolutely loving the timberborn series, love the beavers, sorry you're feeling under the weather I hope you get well soon!

[@JoelSmith-hx8tb]

34:04 Biffa! Rotate the ladder! The path works if the ladder’s not in the way

[@sgoorhuis]

27:44 I think your using a double floodgate where the water is also two so that's why it keeps overflowing

[@ric0h777]

14:16 Said it in the last vid, but you may have missed it. There's a hole for the water to get out under the 5th block near the stair (on the left side). (You have a block on top of a platform, but there's nothing stopping the water from going out through that platform)

[@Fez_Vrasta]

He can put a patch in front of it once he notices it 😅

[@Bama_Boy]

The ladder 🪜 steps must be rotated to the side where its out of the way in order for a path to be optional.

[@NethDugan]

The ladder thing got me for ages too. When you put the ladder down rotate it until the ladder itself isn't in the path of the ladder.

[@AdamHinckley]

34:05 you built it wrong, got the steps in the way 34:49 it's because you got ladders in the way, if you had ladders side on, you would be able to put a path there

[@affanomar7428]

The new district should be named THE MUG

[@kBIT01]

Did the stranded beaver irritate anyone else. Biffa is trying to make an incident.

[@marcusdirk]

Fortunately, they were saved when the ladder got high enough.

[@nurmr]

@@marcusdirk Saved or died? I didn't notice.

[@marcusdirk]

​@@nurmr The stranded notice disappears at 8:52, and there's no death notice. From 8:14 you see Biffa increase the priority of the ladders, the beaver sitting where the ladder will be built, and (briefly) beavers coming to build the ladders. So, there's good evidence they survived 🙂 What we don't see is Biffa realising it's the beaver who was on the stairs at 1:10 "no, he's fine, he's teleported back down here somewhere..." 😲 Biffa, Questions Will Be Asked! 😀

[@huntermorgan9565]

make a thousand episodes of this series That would be cool

[@zsolthb]

I think you should build an elevated badwater channel from the lower back side of the teapool to the edge of the map. In fact you should divert all badwater sources to the nearest edge, to clean the map.

[@erutuon]

You can put a bunch of storehouses (even just little ones) with food items right by the district crossing and tell haulers to fill them, to reduce the distance that the beavers in the district crossing have to go.

[@clem9796]

Biffa, are planning for gravity batteries? I think you already hit the ceiling limit, you'd have to shave off a couple rows.

[@Grato537]

Relative to putting in food at the end I'd suggest 'corn' as the main emergency crop since it has the best land use to food ratio for the Iron Teeth. Things like eggplant and soybean need canola oil in addition to the main crop.

[@damiand2422]

Would be so simple to get a huge well being boost by just plopping a few well being buildings down such as the detailer and exercise plaza

[@abrammarba9700]

Your Kettle: Use the overhangs at the top of the kettle, and you'll need fewer supports for the cover. Less materials, fasyer building, more water storage.

[@pavolmajko]

The big water storage "kettle" is nice, however the water level will be limited by the level of impermeable floors. Sluice won't allow water raised above the level of the floor. You have to make "mokka coffee maker" tower inside, so the level can raise. Trust me

[@alfiand9269]

If that dam will be called the kettle. You should name the district "tea kettle town"

[@keithduthie]

The "dammed tea kettle town", perhaps?

[@davidstears7037]

Growing all that food is great and all... But you don't have the industry to turn it into rations or fermenting it. XD

[@maximebeaudet]

25:37 you’re damn is leaking because it needs to be three blocks tall not two so change the floodgates to three block tall

[@Leon-ff1ln]

@34:50 biffa you should rotate the ladder in a sense that isnt blocking the path. the ladder should be facing the side not in front

[@cotynietling2567]

Where you removed the dead oaks can blast a 3x3 area and put water in it and make big coffe field then where you cleared out scrap do same irrigate it then plant oaks

[@Bigdoggieee]

Right on time. The baby just went to bed

[@nurmr]

13:30 You can also click and drag the height number up and down to change the visible height. Another option is alt-scrollwheel.

[@garand70]

For the new district, how about Beaverhattan or Teaterboro.. Or Tea Business District

[@petersmith5886]

34:38 turn the ladder 90degrees

[@Artificial.Unintelligence]

Beavers on the weekends are like watching Saturday morning cartoons as a kid! A bit nostalgic and the wife and I tune in every time 🍻 If only for your huge reservoir tower you had that modded cantilever type platform instead of needing to make 20 stories of scaffolding which is fine as a task but ugly for an end product that everyone destroys after. I do think with update 6 the devs might need to make some more balancing to the factions; folktails have huge underground storage but the draw back was only ground and can't build vertically over it.. but now you can with all the new platform stuff so the iron teeth only having a 180 log storage (stackable) seems unfair. Perhaps bigger storage but just have a bigger resource sink like metal. I do wish we could toggle some buildings as available between the factions for custom plays instead of having to mod - like making large storage or windmills available for iron teeth. Or the vertical stacking food farms for the folktails.

[@TXPhoenix79]

34:34 the ladder steps block the path. There are only three access points to the ladder, not 4. You need to put the steps facing the water side, not the platform.

[@JettKuroi]

Call the second district Teapool, but the water storage is obviously the Kettle.

[@carriegarrisonvos4433]

Wow that's a lot to build!! I kept laughing every time you put things on high priority 😂 I always want things built on high priority but kind of hard to do it all on it!! I giggled when you changed some of it. Look forward to seeing more🤩 I'm horrible with names but this group is so good!

[@MS-of1hx]

Use robots for a second district so you never have to worry about food and water.

[@slimmachin]

Name the water storage " water urn". They hold more then a kettle, larger and big like this project

You could really easily build the first two monuments in Timberbourn to increase effeciencies

[@MandaloretheSavage]

You could try lowering the Kettle's priority to Lower priority that way you won't need to consistently highest priority things but put it at high priority leaving room for emergency building as highest priority and other "oh I need this" buildings will be higher by default than the Kettle.

[@darkquinny1611]

There was a beaver homie stranded for the first 10 minutes then might've kicked it from old age, can't tell 😮

There is a mod for pathways that go through levees, well its a levee with a pathway through it and yes its water tight. So i can hold water on the inside but be dry outside and still allow beavers to get through without going 39263miles up then back down.

[@niakitten2937]

I'm not mentioning this because of min-maxing but just as a neat FYI. The part of the ground that's irrigated is rather misleading. As sometimes depending on the way it's done, you can go an extra one or even two blocks out from the end of the green. It's really confusing since the 3d water physics changed how the irrigation works entirely. So, in some cases you could capitalize on an extra row of trees if you needed to.

[@Struggling_Engineer97]

Ladders can only connect on the three sides that don't have the ladder rungs. You can't rungs

I'm late to this episode so maybe (surely!) you notice in the next one that your mega building is not actually getting built above 2 blocks round most of it. The one ladder approach will only work if you do one complete level of blocks all the way around at a time.
