Day and night cycle - Build a multi-district city with efficient production chains and nighttime activities.

Space is limited, so stack lodges and workshops on top of each other, construct platforms and bridges, and set up a power grid for your growing population.

Vertical architecture - Create a thriving beaver settlement using a vertical architecture system.

To find it, send your scavengers to the ruins of the old world. Wood is the core resource in Timberborn, but the most advanced structures require metal.

Lumberpunk - Turn timber into sophisticated machinery вЂ“ from water wheels and sawmills to engines and shredders.

Put up dams and floodgates, dig canals with explosives, and redirect rivers to bring life back to the wasteland.

River control - Beavers of the future have millennia of experience in water engineering.

Rely on both natural water sources and artificial irrigation to keep the land arable. Stockpile on food and keep fields and forests alive even after rivers dry up.

Wet and dry seasons - Prepare your settlement for recurring droughts.

Each faction has a unique style, buildings, and gameplay traits.

Beaver societies - Control one of two beaver factions: the nature-friendly Folktails or the industrious Iron Teeth.Pick one of the beaver factions and see how long your colony can last.

Store up plenty of Food and Water and you should be fine. I builtВ a Lumber Mill and a Water Wheel after my first Drought to start producing Planks these items are key for building more advanced structures and making the most out of my town.ДЇocus on making the most out of your land by diverting Water to where it's needed. If you're just barely surviving one Drought, you won't survive the next one unless you step up your game.Дon't forget to expand your capabilities, too. That means that you have to go beyond being 'good enough' when it comes to food and Water. Your next step is to figure out the best way to expand and maintain enough resources to keep everyone alive.Д®ven on Normal difficulty, Droughts will get increasingly severe. If you've followed my advice, you should have been able to survive your first Drought with minimal losses. Keep in mind that you can make a hard save at any time, so don't be afraid to dam up a river or try to blast a hole in the ground and see what happens - you can always load an older save game.ДЄfter Your First Drought: The Key to Long-Term Survival Working with all of these tools is going to take time and experimentation that goes beyond the scope of the TimberbornВ Guide for Beginners. Heck, you can even use Dynamite to blast holes in the ground to create canals or reservoirs! This is where the ingenuity of the Beavers comes into play: you can use dams, levees, Irrigation Towers, Water Pumps, and more to move Water around and set up your civilization for long-term survival. On the more advanced side of things, you'll note that there is a lotВ of non-arable land on the map. Losing the game is likely an inevitability due to this mechanic - it's only a matter of when. You should always have more Water than you need on hand to survive Droughts, especially because successive Droughts will get longer and tougher. This should be your first round of building after the Tutorial We're going to need to store Water to survive your first Drought. Expand a Path in that direction - that will give you the option to add a second Gatherer Flag and get access to more Berries.

You should see a stone Slope slightly to the left of your town. Set the Prioritized action in the Farm to 'Planting.' Leave a little room to expand it later two Farmers alone will not be enough to sustain your early population for a lengthy amount of time. Plant at least 40 plots of Carrots next to 1 Farm Building. Next, we're going to build our first Farm. Start by setting the Warehouse to store 100 Berries and 100 Carrots and nothing else - this building will serve as your food storage for now. With the Tutorial completed, our next step is to increase the comfort of your Beavers and get them to work. Expanding Your Town and Surviving Your First TimberbornВ Drought The buildings you erect during the Tutorial are not enough to survive your first Drought, so get started on expanding right away.
