Survive and Thrive in Timberborn

In Timberborn, players find themselves in a post-apocalyptic world where humanity has long vanished and beavers have risen to take over. As a colony overseer, you'll choose one of two factions—the resourceful Folktails or the industrious Iron Teeth. Each faction comes with distinct buildings, technology, and strategic gameplay, letting you tailor your experience based on your preferred playstyle.

Master the Challenges of Seasons

Prepare for the unpredictability of nature as you navigate through wet, dry, and toxic seasons. Recurring droughts will push your colony's resources to their limits. Stockpiling food and preserving greenery becomes essential, requiring both natural water sources and innovative artificial irrigation systems. Your management skills will be tested as the climate shifts, demanding quick adaptation to thrive.

Innovative Terraforming and Water Physics

Beaver engineering is at your fingertips with Timberborn's impressive 3D water physics and terraforming mechanics. Build dams, floodgates, and aqueducts—all essential for controlling water flow. Use explosives to dig canals and reshape the terrain. The game's dynamic environment encourages creativity, pushing you to craft a landscape that meets both aesthetic preferences and utility.

Explore Vertical Architecture

Space is a precious commodity in Timberborn. To maximize your village's potential, utilize its unique vertical architecture system. Stack your lodges and factories to economize space. Construct bridges, platforms, and an intricate power grid that connects everything. Let your beavers zip around on ziplines or glide through tubeways, enhancing both functionality and design.

Innovate with Automations and Bots

Keeping your colony running smoothly is vital, so take advantage of the game's automation features. Create smart systems using sensors, relays, and counters to streamline tasks, like managing dams and factories. Introduce mechanized workers to lighten the load. These bots operate continuously, making them invaluable for efficiency and persistence in hazardous areas.

Foster Well-being in Your Beaver Community

Your colony's success hinges on its inhabitants' happiness. Manage production chains while catering to their needs for balanced diets, entertainment, and decorative elements. As your population grows, end-game monuments can help restore the Earth, providing additional layers of depth to your strategic planning. Follow the beavers' day-to-day lives and learn what keeps them content.

Community Creations and Map Customization

Timberborn isn’t just about survival; it encourages creativity and sharing within its community. Utilize the built-in map editor to craft your own environments and share them with other players. With official mod support, you'll have access to a wealth of player-made content. Continually fresh additions gear up to enhance gameplay experience, making each session feel unique.
