'Timberborn' Early Access Update #6 Adds New Physics, Buildings, Mod Support - Trailer

by Rainier on Oct. 10, 2024 @ 7:00 a.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 received its sixth major content update today, introducing an entire aquatic expansion of new features & enhancements! 

Update 6: The Wonders of Water deepens the hydro-engineering options of Timberborn, as both water and polluted badwater become easier to manipulate. Timberborn and Update 6 - The Wonders of Water are available in Early Access on PC and Mac via Steam, GOG and Epic Games Store

Take expanded control of two diametrically different factions and their most ingenious building tools: aqueducts, underwater tunnels, and even submerged districts. Lift your rivers and cities skyward with new building options like overhanging platforms and vertical power shafts for building above. Your new builds will be taller and more sophisticated than ever!

New Features:

  • 3D water physics –Timberborn’s hallmark feature goes 3D. Water and badwater now flows over buildings, making it possible to build aqueducts, underwater tunnels, and even entire underwater cities. Automated sluices, impermeable floors, and updates to dams and floodgates bring even greater creativity to your hydro-engineering.
  • Expanded Verticality – Newly-added overhangs change how platforms work, allowing the player to erect sky-high structures with layers of buildings and water. With vertical power shafts added, the power grid can now easily reach the skies.
  • Endgame Wonders – These faction-specific monuments allow the beavers’ planet-restoration plans to take effect: The Earth Recultivator (Folktails) sends out balloons filled with seed packs, while the Earth Repopulator (Iron Teeth) ejects beaver pioneers in airborne gliders.
  • New Map and Reworked Maps – Cliffside, a new diorama-like map, joins the array, and old maps have been reworked to play better with 3D water physics.
  • Customizable Beaver Tails – The Detailer building allows the player to add custom markings to the beavers' most prominent feature.
  • New Languages – In-game support for Turkish, Thai, & Traditional Chinese languages
  • Official Mod Support & Steam Workshop Integration, with hundreds of creations already live on Workshop.

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 2024.
