Build canals and rivers, create dams and reservoirs, and build water tanks so you can continue to grow food and drink water when the dry season comes, and see how long your colony can last. You can build a variety of different structures, and, unlike on other similar games, build upwards instead of outwards, saving space and creating truly unique structures. You take control of one of the two beaver factions (Folktails or Iron Teeth), and help them overcome the ecological challenges facing them by constructing a settlement capable of withstanding even the most severe drought. Set in the far future, long after humans have wiped themselves out and decimated the world, causing almost weekly droughts, beavers have emerged as a new dominant species.
The impending drought, limited city footprint and focus on water preservation makes this an unusual city-building game, and allows for creative problem solving and strategic thinking to take the forefront. You build waterways, storage houses, dams and more in a densely packed city as you manage resources, allocate buildings and ensure you have enough precious water. Ever since the project started, we have been improving the game and adding new features based on community feedback.Timberborn is a construction strategy game where you control a population of beavers, building a civilization and preparing for drought. Play on one of the included maps or create your own and share it with the community! With hills of different heights, ruins scattered in the desert, and all life depending on access to water, each map poses a different challenge. Satisfy the needs of your rodents with a balanced diet, decorations, monuments, and more – on top of keeping the colony alive. Follow the lives of individually simulated inhabitants throughout their day and celebrate when the next generation is born!Īn evolved beaver's lifestyle is not just "work, sleep and chomp on wood".
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.īuild a multi-district city with efficient production chains and nighttime activities. To find it, send your scavengers to the ruins of the old world.Ĭreate a thriving beaver settlement using a vertical architecture system. Wood is the core resource in Timberborn, but the most advanced structures require metal. Turn timber into sophisticated machinery – 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. Rely on both natural water sources and artificial irrigation to keep the land arable.īeavers of the future have millennia of experience in water engineering. Stockpile on food and keep fields and forests alive even after rivers dry up. Prepare your settlement for recurring droughts. Each faction has a unique style, buildings, and gameplay traits. Pick one of the beaver factions and see how long your colony can last.Ĭontrol one of two beaver factions: the nature-friendly Folktails or the industrious Iron Teeth. Mankind turned Earth into a dry wasteland and perished, but some species adapted and evolved.
