To maximise the use of the aqueduct, perhaps you could put platforms with paths over the water bit, and put some small warehouses/shrubs/medical beds… on the wall

Platforms + Impermeable Floors (now block water both ways) then paths. Pipes are possible now!
Easily the best update this game has had so far! It gives it a completely new way ofplaying around,loving it

I think the setting on the top is how you can regulate how fast the water pours in as well. You could set it to 1/2 full and during a drought a tower of water above will slowly drain. (Speaking hypothetically and not of Biffa's map.) Since water evaporates in this game based on surface area, storing it in depth is better than in width, so building a water tower is now much easier to do without flooding things.

If you had put platforms over the new waterway you could use it as the road to the new forestry area, the 3 by 3 ponds could be used for storage and the forester. That way you could use the roads left and right to the waterway to plant more trees.
Numbercrunchers paired with Engines are super overpowered and a very quick way to unlock everything

17:52 What you could do to irrigate the tree farm at the top of your colony is use a Sluice gate set to both "water level below X" and "contamination below Y percentage".
6:54 Sluices can be put in at any level, you could build them at the bottom of a levee stack or the top and the function wouldn't change. 😅 Building at the bottom does give a better storage of water.

For the most part. If it’s at the top it can only let out water if the water source is at the top.
You use the metal platforms to build things underneath them. You can use regular platforms for over water, they do not displace water or anything. Much cheaper than 90 metal too.

But regular platforms don’t look like an alien beaver Bauhaus art installation.
Use all that Dynamite to flatten the new tree area
The new aquaduct looks cool, the pools in the tree area are great, looks like a secret swimming area in the forest
The sluice gate finally allows you to build a tall water storage with an outlet at the bottom and it will auto maintain the exit water level to .5 The way to use it: build a tall 'lifting' tower over the water source with bad water sluice at bottom. This tower will raise water up to inlet of tall water reservoir. During bad tide, water will empty out of the lifting tower. You'll have a clean water supply to always have water in your farming area without a need to put in pumps from the lower reservoir.
Never before has there been so many ways for Biffa to flood everywhere.

That metal platform system over the lake of water is giving me Waterworld vibes 😂 we just need some homes for some pirate beavers and it’ll be perfect!
Hi Biffa, put regular platforms on the canal you just dug. Then build your stackable log storage on it and just use the staircase to climb up. put your path on the platforms too and also your forester and your lumberjacks. It saves a whole lot of farmable space for you so you can have more trees.
remember you can pump water up from your big dam to stop the water level from dropping so much at the top.
I just have to add: man! does the game look good now! Graphics and lighting are crisp, detailed, and clean, and the new animations help out immensely to create a beautiful setting. Very much enjoyed seeing you present the new update to us. Continue to have a nice one 👍
I absolutely love the added granularity to raising/lowering floodgate height.
Most water-adverse beavers ever. 'Ave a nice one, mr Biff

I can't wait! So many ideas 👍😊
If you build an aqueduct over the mega damn reservoir, you could pack it with water wheels that way the water passes thru as many wheels on its way to be deposited into the reservoir. You could also build a similar badaquaduct and gain power thru those too. Lastly you can use the mechanical pumps to raise the water back up to the top.... That way you can ensure that your skytop colony/farmland never runs dry.
The notes mention using impermeable floors for adqueducts, but I think they now allow you to have a subterranean tunnel network for the beavers all through your base, without interfering with the water flow. Only problem is it would require deconstructing everything above where you want the tunnel, blowing it up, building platforms there and putting in the impermeable floors if it intersected with a water pathway. So, maybe a thing to consider for new districts, but probably a bit too much effort to retrofit existing districts with it.

I love how difficult this idea is to implement, definitely will try it 😊
You're playing a game I wish I could play. Enjoy building the colonies.
Hello there, Please double the Heigh of your mega super giga Dam. So the Water Level is same level like the Aqueduct. You can now easier build and control the new Water Canals and Aqueduct System and conquer more Mountains Plateues. Please use Wood Plattforms to add Ways on the Canals or build Warehouses on your Canals. Greeting from Germany
Using pumps to send the water back to the top is a great idea! The water in your big reservoir will be more than enough to keep your map evergreen. Also, those sluices are a game changer! We can now build huge towers to store water vertically and use sluices at different layers to let the water out. Though we'll probably need to build the tower on the side of the water source and use pumps to fill it up. This way we can avoid contaminating the water.
This update added just about everything the game was missing. Such an S tier update. You could put swimming pools in your forestry area, if you aren't gonna use the 3x3 space for storages or whatever else. That'd be a nice place to cool off long as the sound of beavers gnawing on trees isnt too upsetting. lol Just thought of this too, if you're feeling real ambitious you could make a rooftop pool now. Like a proper resort would have, with some overlooks to lounge at for a suntan. That'd be great.
Started a new map with this update because I really wanted to build around the idea of skyscrapers. I built my tower block cities around a central water stack filled using sluices (to prevent bad water getting in) then used other sluices to allow water out to irrigate my floating farms. Built channels from every source block on the map and then made 6 smaller water stacks for bad water containment and transportation around the very outskirts of my skyscrapers. Super fun update. Thank you mechanistry!
oh wow! this was like christmas morning for busy beaver biffa!
Placing warehouses over the ponds on the plateau would maximise space as well!
What cool updates!! I really like those. Leads to lots of creative ideas! I look forward to seeing you build them!🤩
The Number Cruncher is amazing, you will be able to unlock everything very quickly
Biffa building huge storage space on water supported only by imagination, while RCE is pulling all his hair out xD
You can use sluices to automate water filling up the aqueduct system, closing above a downstream depth of say .8 or something. Then it will also help hold water in the system during the droughts or badtides
careful your starting to build a dystopian hive city... note i love it.
fpr your new wood area, you can fill your reservoirs with platforms and build your storage on there, so that you can use the green to grow trees
5:12 Since when do beavers need hammers for trees? Their wood cutting tools are built in! LUL
A crazy suggestion: since levee can be build over the platform, try to build leveled aqueduct for the water wheel. So what i imagine is at the botom level there's some water wheel and raise the level using platform and overhang platform and put water wheel on top so after the waterr flow down you can get another power generator, or maybe build the water wheel below the waterfall.
It might be a good idea to deepen the new 3x3 water way areas for additional water storage during droughts and bad tides. Just a super low priority so it eventually gets done
Woah that update is gonna be insane lmao, can't wait to see what you do with it

Just build triple platforms underneath the 5x5 metal platforms to rest on. This means you can cover the reservoir flat, and utilize the space much more simply and efficiently.
You should get a detailer, and put your B logo on your beavers tails! Also you should think about maybe putting a new district on that metal island over your main water hold. Make them their own district to reach further out in that direction.

Good ideas 🤔
Biffa's videos make my weekend!
Biffa, for the water reservoir platforms, I suggest building platforms on the water to prop up more of those metal platforms maybe a 3x4 grid of those things. Then you can unlock the ultra massive giga water storage and put them there so you will never ever worry about water ever and it will solve your problems of them having to run back and forth to fill the water storages. Another thing is you can also unlock the larger storage for the warehouses and put them in there if you add more platforms beside it. You can cover the entire reservoir and pretty much have everything there so you can reclaim all your wasted space in your island and start farming more food or plant more trees. You need to have atleast 3 or 4 metal factories and one engine and that would take care of it.

Don't forget to dynamite the water reservoir floor first if you want more water before putting in platforms. But actually, I think beavers can place dynamite directly under the platform so its a win win.
you could place a lot of small storages for different foods on the outer platforms
@22:20 the main channel didn't open because there was still a pocket of badwater next to it, so it had to flush by overflowing. Perhaps setting this one to open at 10% contamination would help.
I cant get enough of this series. Absolutely love it
Highly advise getting the super tall housing units. Its the most efficient spacewise and has the smallest footprint. I like plopping them all over just wherever they fit. They also work as power transfer up lots of levels.
I wonder if Biffa has seen Skye Storme and his monolithic size builds in timberborn I drew so much inspiration from what he built in his games
Aqueducts using overhangs and the new 3x3 metal platform minimize the footprint, no need for wooden platforms going all the way down. Proper bridged aqueduct
Biffa you should redesign your new industrial area with layers. Build your storage buildings under the structures that require them. And listen to the other comments about building on platforms over your tree farm aqueduct to reclaim more green space.
30:38 As you are always worried about water you can build a mini dam inside the big dam as high as the plateau which will bring the option to collect and store water near the center. This way you can totally get rid of the water collector far away and add another 5*5 platform there.
Looks great sir!
17:10 the sluices still let a small amount of badwater through the clean water sluice, because the "close above contamination" level was set at 5%, meaning again it went through the good water side. You probs need to set that to 1% or at best 0% (if possible) so no badwater gets through
@SalamanderBSC
19 күн бұрын
It's unlikely to be a problem, as it only hits those points at the start / end of a badwater season and only for a brief period; the amount of badwater they let through will be heavily diluted way lower than 5%, and likely to just stop existing due to evaporation.

Me too!
I’d take the trees out by the water well, make the water intake larger. Hold more to help hold water level
I'm really enjoying this series! The new platform area over the "lake" is a nice place, perhaps too nice for just storage? Maybe have it as a new residential area? It would be closer to the big water pumps too.
Biffa, the numbercruncher is OP. You have one, works like 10 inventor huts and works 24/7, it need power though. Just one of them and you can unblock every single item very easily very fast.
if your planting trees for wood, there is no reason to plant anything but oaks, unless you're desperate for a few logs as soon as possible, then you can (temporarily) plant birch.
Imagine little canals you could use to transport items like those videos of watermelons going down a tight stream
@biffa on the new tree land you could use more land if you would build the buildings if possible on platforms over the water
the best update this game has ever done!
Just wait for the ladder mod, it’s to expansive but this is definitely the way to go if your doing no mod play through. my suggestion is just move the path to the side and add hangovers on the one sided side leave a spot for stairs. I’m also very happy that there are now official mods 🎉🎉🎉
Oh look! It's me again with unsolicited advice! That being said, let's go! It's really not very efficient, but I usualy put a water dump or two on the top part of this map to keep the starting area green. Also the watersource with 5 springs is really not efficient to water storage because of the low altitute, I like to build a water wheel sistem there to serve the whole map. There's a water spring close to the new area you irrigated on a higher altitude.
The Beaver with the hammer needed a hardhat on.
You could give the larger food storage building a try. Its much more space efficient than the medium warehouse
Use the 3x3 pools for mangroves as they are 1 deep... maximise your space
Update 6 is looking super exciting!
They should add to the game something like a flood season, where the water sources produce say a x multiplier. this way its could create another issue as a flood zone. you could do it to both regular water and bad water
On your new plateau forestry area: 1. You should have the 3x3 set up to one side of the river path instead of centered. 2. Put a platform for a path over the water channel and platforms over the pool. 3. Put your forester on the platforms over the pool. Just with that you get a lot more tree area. Good seeing update 6 info. I am trying to decide if I'll start over on a new colony in 6 or update my current. I have so much built on the old physics including a huge pumping area for water filtering that is now not necessary.
Nice Video!
You could use a couple of the platform overhangs on the reservoir as aqueducts to nearby islands
Good Video Biffa 👍
You need to replant those empty areas inside your tree farm. 27:22 put this forester on platforms in your 3x3 water pits.
Build an "aqueduct sky bridge" for your bad water. Just route it straight away from everything and dump it at the maps' edge.
Needs more trees, proceeds to fill the green land with storage and doesn't build any lumberjack
You should add stairs at the end of the path in front of the new scientist huts
The new plateau with the trees you could use your dynamite to blow up the far end that is one level up and make the level the same for the whole thing and then it will make it easier to get to that pile of metal.
27:25 if you put a staircase up where the water canal ends, would a forester still reach the entire area? then you could place forester and storage up there, and with platforms across the canal for the pathway you will get a bit more use out of the newly irrigated area
I been waiting for the next one. i mastered helix mountain now, have done for a while but im waiting for natural oaks to self seed which is taking forever. All of helix mountain all green and full of trees and berries again, all of the map is now green except some short badwater runs, made use of the sluices to divert the badwater straight done the mountain from the top cutting through the spiral layers stopping any badwater around the entire spiral. Everything is automatic now to the point i can leave it running all day and night with not one single click on anything. most of all the trees around the spiral i have managed to save native ones so i dont need loads of foresters and the grass stays green. They taken a very long time to grow back but it all looks amazing i have to say.
I’m planning to make some kind of treehouse city with these update
Just use triple, double and single platforms to cover the reservoir, gotta be cheaper than all those metal blocks. and would have a huge area for storage.
Think big Biffa, think big. Housing should be high rise, as with storage.
Green the whole map. Also build a storage skyscraper
That floating construction kind of start to look like a spaceship. Are you sure they are beavers, and not aliens in beaver clothing.
How about an episode focused on improving your science input? It seems like you're still using just the basic building, seems to me like you could make that way better, and then unlock all the things after!

Thought those extended versions ran for 12 hours or something. Also I've already watched the movie. Over three days, funnily enough.
It's going to take you forever to unlock the high end stuff if you don't get the numbercruncher.
before if we had to do 4+ blocks tall dams we could not drain the water from the blocks below the level of the triple floodgates, in maps with valleys it made it harder to store enough water for longer droughts now with the new block we can actually build those under the floodgate and finally drain the bottom levels IF we ever need it we can now build 10+ blocks tall dams with no problem, the true functional megadams
there used to be a ladder on the edge of the cliff going down to the farming area below, now there isn't. maybe you should think about replacing it
With the amount of science needed to unblock those new items, it's better to get a number cruncher, that thing produces 10x more than a scientist hut and only needs a single engine to operate
you could plant dirt on the platforms and build a tree farm tower

You know that build all that storage, foresters etc. on platforms over the water and have more space for growing things? Also you do not need path on both sides of water channel...
Having only seen little bits of the map where the water spawn points are, I wonder if it's worth prioritzing reaching the one in the corner where the aqeuduct is heading to ensure water stays in the system. I can't recall how close the current spot is to the spawn point in the corner. Hmmmm...
I built it the same way like you for the bridge
