About
Mankind turned Earth into a dry wasteland and perished, but some species adapted and evolved. Pick one of the beaver factions and see how long your colony can last.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Play on one of the included maps or create your own and share it with the community. On top of the built-in map editor, Timberborn features official mod support. Tons of extra player-made content and quality-of-life additions are available, with more coming each day.

It's good. If I had to compare it to other games in the genre I'd say it was Banished spiced up using elements of Oxygen not Included. The difficulty is more on the relaxed side, unless you tweak the settings and choose a hard map. This puts it more on the sandboxy side. You won't really get any of the crazy doom spirals you get in other colony sims. The UI is passable, but for the price it needs more QoL including: - Hotkey to jump the depth level to the level of the tile under your cursor - Overlays for power, paths, water bodies, depth (like in OnI) - More tooltips. Had to spend a lot of time on the wiki. - Ability to pin resources instead of showing everything all the time - More hotkeys in general Achievement hunting is fine. There were a couple of awkward ones, that's it.

Amazing game, super fun. Devs managed to balance liquid physics with fun, doesn't get bogged down by making it an extremely complex gimmick. That said, plenty to do and optimize. Like any game in this genre, you have to have some intrinsic drive to optimize things to give you direction.
biber kommunismus diggi. absolut geiles spiel. 9/10 weil man keine Biber romancen kann. Müsst ihr wissen.
It's a lot of fun. I watched this game go from beta to full release and I'm very happy with the direction it's taken. Super satisfying to play
Great fun, but make you think as your have the lives of the beavers in your hands.
I started playing on the day this came out. My youtube home page had dozens of videos about this game so I got it. Best decision ever. This game is very relaxing and very addicting. I played 18 hours in 3 days.
There are no objectives or missions or scenario win. You just play until you lose or get bored. The technology tree is more about perpetually grinding than actually achieving anything.
一開始覺得很可愛,很快就感覺到煩躁與無趣, 許多覺得可能只是加分或彩蛋的東西但其實是必須品, 隱藏的機制需要科學點數解鎖, 這讓玩家必須花好幾輪才能知道每個設施跟分配的機制與用途, 能夠感受到 UI 已經盡力了,但遊戲性本身卻不是這麼的優秀。
水壩竣工,普天同慶。 上游仍澇,下游續旱。
