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.

just finished to read Leonardo da Vinci's biography, im certain that if videogames existed back then, this would be his favorite. By far.
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.
Great game with continuing development.
I could lose myself in this game over and over
Great fun, but make you think as your have the lives of the beavers in your hands.
Timberborn is a great game to relax with as you try and build a colony. It's also great at annoying you when you think you've future-proofed yourself for a problem and you end up causing a badtide to run right through the middle of you colony. Be ready to sink time into this one, but you'll enjoy it.

The game is great. I definitely got my money's worth, but the logic gate automation made me uninstall the game. It is not at all enjoyable to engage with. Trying to "wire" my buildings for automation makes me feel the same kind of anxiety and frustration I felt taking a collage exam that I wasn't prepared for. I step away from my play sessions of Timberborn feeling stressed out. Some people say if you don't like the automation don't use it, but that is both disingenuous and dismissive. You can't constantly pause/unpause and close/open 40+ buildings manually without making costly mistakes. As well as, that process becoming a tedious chore very quickly. I'd still recommend this game as you'll have many great relaxing hours of entertainment, before you get to the dreaded late game automation.
Very relaxing and unique civilization game. You will sink 10 hours and it will feel like 1 hour tops. Updates and additions are still going stong with new content coming just when you feel you've mastered everything they can through at you. Always a fun new challenge.
