Timberborn

If you like city builders where water and resources can make or break your plans, Timberborn is worth your time. You play as beavers trying to keep a settlement alive in a world where the rivers keep drying up. The pace is calm, but there is always a background worry about whether there will be enough water for the next season. The highlights: - Early on, your time goes to figuring out how water flows, and you will probably rebuild your first dam because it blocked the wrong channel. - You can play solo, but it is more fun to watch your plan fall apart and then work out how to save it. - Building upward matters here: houses and workshops stack on top of each other, and that changes the whole logic of the settlement. - Later you get steampunk-style machines, and a network of water wheels and pumps starts to feel like real engineering.

Pick one of the beaver factions and see how long your colony can last. Beaver societies Control one of two beaver factions: the nature-friendly Folktails or the industrious Iron Teeth. Each faction has unique buildings, technology, and gameplay traits. Choose what fits your playstyle! Wet, dry, and toxic seasons Prepare your settlement for recurring droughts and waves of toxic waste. Stockpile food and keep fields and forests alive even after rivers dry up. Rely on both natural water sources and artificial irrigation to keep the land arable and your beavers safe. Water physics and terraforming Beavers’ engineering skills are legendary. With Timberborn’s 3D water physics and terraforming, so can be yours. Put up dams and floodgates, erect massive aqueducts, dig canals and tunnels with explosives, and reshape the terrain to your liking. Vertical architecture Harness the game’s unique vertical architecture system. Space is limited, so stack lodges and workshops on top of each other. Construct platforms and bridges, set up an elaborate power grid, and let your beavers speed around on ziplines or through tubeways. Lumberpunk Turn timber into sophisticated machinery - from water wheels and lumber mills to engines and mechanized pumps. Wood is the core resource in Timberborn, but the most advanced structures require metal. To find it, send your scavengers to the ruins of the old world. Automation Automate tasks across your settlement by creating an intricate system of sensors, relays, counters, and other tools for advanced engineers. Self-controlling dams and factories are just the beginning. Bots Supercharge your colony with mechanized beavers. Power them up, maintain them, and you'll get extra-efficient workers for almost any job. They operate 24/7, and you can send them to the most hazardous areas. Well-being Build a sprawling city with efficient production chains and follow the lives of its inhabitants day and night. As the population grows, satisfy your evolved rodents with a balanced diet, entertainment, decorations, and end-game monuments that help restore the Earth.
