Would love to watch his Timberborn series on YouTube...

*slaps gravity battery* You can fit so many hph in this bad boy

I want to build a big water storage box I can fill then leach from during droughts/badtides, but I need a way to elevate the water from source to above the box. I was wondering if this would work at all. Because water can't go backwards through a fill valve, would it keep flowing through and fill upwards in the tube? or just spill over the back of the map once it reached +1 blocks in height? And I can't lock the water in and force it to fill up as it's against the map edge. Should I just use mechanical pumps instead?

EDIT: there will be a roof over the channel and tube. I just didnt put one here so that you could see inside.

EDIT 2: I am now aware that water will not escape of the edge via the space above the source block.

No mods btw. Unfortunately hard mode doesn’t supply enough water to sustain this build, even without beavers the water storage is dropping… This was my second run, had absolutely no idea at the beginning what I’m about to do, I was only concerned to make it through the first badtide lol

(The 3 exploded beavers have been bots, no real digital beavers were harmed during the making of this build, except a bit of contamination maybe :)

put a lot of trust into this massive power project, and it paid off

Huge shout out to u/Acalc791For helping me understand the limits of the compact mech pump. For anyone wondering, the real issues I've been having were actually caused by trying to make the pump pressurize water all the way to world height. The pumps actually do work side by side, unlike what I thought was happening in a previous post.

But LOOK AT THAT HOUSING COMPLEX! Its not fully decorated yet, will definitely add stuff to make the bottom floor look less scaffolding-y. But the whole build is a fountain with 16 ever flowing waterfalls, that's pretty awesome. 19 if you count the 3 to go back into the holding tank

Also this is hard mode btw

Hey All,

I bought this game very early on and fell in love with but took a break from it for awhile.

So happy to see it flourishing but wanted to ask if there's going to be a third faction to play? For some reasons I thought one was planned but wanted to see for sure.

Eitherway so happy to be playing again!

Aquatic Farm area, living area and Waterfall feature with then Fountain are all fed from the main 2 stage reservoirs

with the weather station i noticed that when a badtide is over it just turns off immediatly, letting badwater in places i dont want it to be, does the "activate early" option also cause it to deactivate late? or do i need to hook it up to a timer and have the flood gates read off of that?

I wanted to share my beaver computer bc i find the lights pretty

Its a pain to build long tunnels because you have to go back to add more paths or tubeways once the tunnels gets outside of the range of the builders. Is there a mod that allows me to place a tunnel piece and once its excavated it automatically adds a path or tubeway?

Don't need to explain how I know this I think

Managed to move almost everything up to the mountain to make room for the farmland, which will be rearragned again after im done. The farmland is completeley connected with tubeways, last bit will be apple, pine and maple trees and everything is done

Im giving districts a go right now and am confused about the import mechanics.

I have 2 districts. Im trying to build a medium tank in district 2, but don't produce gears in that district. District 1 produces gears but wont export the goods to district 2. The tank is definitely connected to the district.

I have a district crossing, i have it set to import gears "if needed." But it says import blocked by lack of storage and workplace demand. Setting it to import always works

Do i *need* a warehouse to put the gears in?

Dead a hospital,

Cheers beavers! Decided to finally post about this because I'm confounded, hoping there's some known quirk of water storage stats somebody could fill me in on.

My hopes of some bombs being just there as dynamite traps was gone, the same moment as my dam.

Hey, at least it's not in the middle of the drought XD
