'Timberborn' Early Access Update Adds Limitless Builds, Expanded Factions, Revamps Distribution System

by Rainier on May 24, 2023 @ 12:52 p.m. PDT

Timberborn is a beaver city-building game featuring ingenious animals, vertical architecture, and river control (with dams and dynamite!).

Humans are gone. Will your society of lumberpunk beavers do better?

Mankind turned Earth into a wasteland and perished, but some species survived and evolved. Choose one of the unique beaver families and see how long your colony can last!

Endure catastrophic droughts thanks to millennia of experience in water engineering. Beavers of the future redirect rivers, put up dams and dig canals with explosives. But be careful, uncontrolled flooding is as deadly as a dynamite blast!

Turn timber into sophisticated machinery, buildings, and monuments. 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.

Create a thriving beaver settlement using a modular, vertical architecture system. Here, space isn't infinite, so stack lodges and workshops on top of each other, cover hills with fields, and set up a power grid for your growing population.

Timberborn marches on towards its full release from Early Access (Steam, GOG and Epic Games Store) with its fourth major content update.

Your caffeinated beaver builds know no bounds with Update 4 bringing you boundary-less districts, coffee and fermentation, a reworked cross-district distribution system, all-new agriculture for the Iron Teeth faction, and brand-new monuments to the all-mighty beaver lords! With the update increasing the framerates by up to 80%, building huge colonies has never been easier.

A drought is coming – pair lumberpunk technology with your own creativity to subvert the forces of nature and keep your colony fed, watered, and well. Dam and direct rivers to create lakes and reservoirs, harness currents and winds to power your city, reform the landscape to your own ends, and erect towering vertical communities using stackable architecture. 

Update 4 Key

  • Limitless Districts! Build bigger & better, but beware – bloated districts mean longer commutes and less efficient beavers!
  • A new agriculture system exclusive to the Iron Teeth faction: Kohlrabi, Canola, Cassava, Soybean, Corn, Eggplant, and Coffee Beans.
  • New Iron Teeth-exclusive buildings: Fermenter, Oil Press, Hydroponic Garden, Food Factory, Coffee Brewery.
  • Reworked distribution between districts! Share your resources more effectively across your many districts.
  • New Monuments! A New Map!
  • Faster load times and up to 80% higher framerate! 

Build a prosperous city with efficient production chains and beaverish nighttime activities. Follow the lives of individually simulated inhabitants throughout their day and celebrate when the next generation is born!

Satisfy the needs of your colonists to extend their lifespan and make them happier. An evolved beaver's lifestyle is not just "work, sleep and chomp on wood". Balanced diet, decorations, temples, even carousels – you take care of it all.

Unlock additional beaver families, each with unique style and traits. While one species might be okay working long shifts, another would rather focus on increasing the population – so choose what fits your playstyle.

Play on one of the included maps or create your own and share it with the community! With green hills of different height, ruins scattered in the desert, and twisting rivers you will build dams on, each map poses a different challenge.

Timberborn is coming to PC (Steam/GOG/Epic Games Store) in 2023.
