RCE, what you may wish to do is have a couple of hauler posts and/or builder post that are set to "low" or "very low" priority to act as population sinks. So when you don't have jobs up, these buildings will soak the additional pops and release them when you DO have more jobs available.

A) youll need a few more Decontamination Pods B) you need to move the Decontamination pods closer to the town center C) you need food and water nearby the Decontamination pods These 3 things will GREATLY increase the effectiveness of the pods by drastically reducing the travel time when they get hungry or thirsty. Otherwise it takes ages as they get hungey and thirsty faster and walk slower.

Collaboration with Safety Third channel might be a good idea.

Instead of trying to brute force it... put some small water tanks near the water pumpers and set the tanks to "Supply" and prioritize it by haulers. Then change the setting on the 4 medium water tanks to "Obtain" and again prioritize by Haulers. You can then unprioritize haulers at the water pumps, this will make the pumpers carry their product to the near by Supply tanks and Haulers will haul the water from Supply to Obtain tanks. You can also use these Supply and Obtain settings on other storages to increase productivity by having the Haulers focus on moving from small supply storages to your main large storage area set to obtain. Oh also having a Hauling Post near/between the production areas and main storage helps reduce their travel time and allows them to focus on things in their hauling posts area rather than traveling all over in chaos. Its not much but every little bit of efficiency adds up over time and makes life so much easier.

@nisonatic

Ай бұрын

Not just water pumpers; it's a good idea to have small warehouses / piles / tanks near various shops; the shop needs to "obtain" their raw materials and then "supply" their outputs to the colony. It's also a good idea to set up piles marked "obtain" for building projects, especially if they're a distance from those materials.

I disagree. I think it's better to have the haulers prioritize the pumps themselves as it keeps their productivity higher while allowing the haulers to do the hauling. You should still have a supply tank and an obtain tank near the district center.

maybe it's just me, but I would build decontamination pods closer to where the beavers normally interact, i.e. nearer to town, so if you have someone moving at a snails pace super slow it doesn't take forever to get all the way to the decontamination area then whoops I'm hungry now gotta go back.

I also blasted a small channel out near where RCE put the badwater discharge and put up some levees to make a bad water holding tank type area, put some pumps on the top and set up my badwater refinement and treatment area not to far from where he has his industrial area across the river, so if anything happened they could heal up just a short walk from the town then I set up my industrial area further down river and uses gravity batteries to help offset the large amount of power needed until my "solution" to said power needs was finished.

For suspension bridges, their best uses to cross really deep gaps, but they are deceptively useful. A 3 tile bridge can cross a 3 tile gap even if it looks like its short a little bit. And you can build them from either end, meaning you can cross a 6 tile gap using two 3 tile bridges without anything underneath them or having access to the other side by just having the 2 support sections be on their side of the wall and the suspended ends connecting. Of course you do need that extra tile of space as they can't get on the bridge from the side at all. If you want to cross something like a 10 or so tile gap using 3 tile bridges, you will need to place one bridge in the center by building one bridge first, then stacking 1 tile of platforms to build a 2nd one on, and then you can flip the 3rd. tit looks kind of ugly but it works, and you can then cross that gap without having ever set foot on the other side be before

Gotta love how he puts platforms for the shafts in the fresh water, but insists on building under badwater.

@TheBlobik

initially it was supposed to be built during drought so that it does not matter, but then RCE realized part of the shaft goes through a natural reservoir, that does not dry out during short droughts. And instead of a platform fix the decontamination pods were put in probably partially out of curiosity. He did learn they are not a perfect solution, though (hopefully)

You should propably provide some basic services such as living quarters and a small water and food storage next to the decondamination pods so contaminated beavers wont have to go back and forth and will heal faster.

@fendalynn6604

Ай бұрын

Building living quarters there without having a separate district is a horrible idea. At least before badwater, beavers did not prioritize where they sleep based on where they work/are. Therefore, if you have two separate work areas, building barracks in both could lead you to having beavers move from one area to the other all the time. This is the true power of districts, as district gates allow you to set quite well the quantity of food/water/ressources that should go through them, and therefore ensure you only have haulers/gate workers (who transport twice as much) walking long distances.

3:00 build the scaffolding on top of the shafts. You can always build down and the double platforms will clear the vertical shafts. It’s slightly slower, but no one gets contaminated.

0:00 Matt: perfect build! 12:00 Matt: how did this happen?!? 😂

Doesnt really work too well. Problem is beavers have their place. But also with food, they will go for food they like.

An issue that will only get worse as he expands.

You should think about terrafor😢😢ming the mountains near your base to give you more place to build/farm on. There's too many inefficiency in the pathing and storages that's hampering your growth and sustainability. You may want to look into food situation too. Running out of food usually means either you don't have enough stored or you're not producing any. Since the majority of your higher quality food requires power, you should pause the industry during drought so they have something to eat instead of draining the power for construction. Also contaminated beavers won't work so you are losing workers everytime you put a beaver in bad water.

have the decontamination pods near beaver houses . so that they don't die of old age or hunger while traveling to pods . as when contaminated they get -50% life expectancy and less movement speed

Matt laughing at the Structural engineer who became sick because of Matt's terrible choices.

The music at the start goes hard! 👌

It helps to put food and water near the pods, the contaminated beavers move rather slowly.

I love the dichotomy of these videos. Start of the video? Supreme confidence. Middle? Absolute panic. End? Undeniable certainty.

It's always a hoot to watch several beavers simultaneously working on your shaft. That thing is massive!

Having extra storage near by the buildings for the haulers to take from is actually really helpful, the beavers continue to do their job, and the haulers keep everything stocked.

19:10 storing foods and drinks close to the homes is pretty essential. Just make sure to set the further storage to "distribute"

So the contamination does still indirectly kill the beavers faster. That -10 to well being is enough to decrease their expected lifespan/ meaning they do die younger if contaminated.

Matt: *already skating on thin ice trying to balance food, water, and logs with 56 beavers.* Also Matt: “should we get robot beavers in here now that everything is solid”

I think you need another district at this point, the commute to the polluted zone is too long, or at least move the pods to the main settlement.

We will be hearing about "The Incident" until season 20

Matt u should build some food and water storage closer to the badwater area so that they can spend more time healing instead of walking

Matt was improving, but he is going back to his old self. Just keep upping priority!

Why didn't build the Decontamination near the main settlement? The time it takes them to reach it would reduced by a huge margin which would allow them to complete healing. Also the Beaver that died in old age had a shortened lifespan due to be afflicted which reduced their stats meaning the blood is still in your hands.

Give the beavers 100% well being and green up the map.

That was the strongest coffee removal!

Matt, if you had kept that water inlet 1 block depth you could keep that reservatory 1 block high during the dry season, because this way you whould pump 1 block from that reservatory but when its level gets equalts to the inlet it should stop to be pumped even if you keep pumping the main reservatory

RCE: One thing I did for the contaminated was to build a small water tank and food warehouse so they don't have to walk so far to eat and drink. I tried placing small housing but it doesn't mean they'll use it.

season 7 episode 12!!! wow Matt you are beaver king! keep the videos coming I love watching this series.

One of my favorite series, excited to see it become a big city

The developer announced they'll add at least 10 more priority options to the buildings. They mentioned some players only take the next highest priority instead of having more beavers or reducing the priority of some buildings for a slight automation.

I wonder if the powershaft could connect to the second level of one of those building or comeing down to the first level in the corner by the gear building from the second level for a strighter path.

I'd like to see the beavers as happy as possible

Yay! Love Timberborn series

The best part of Friday is here!

Matt, a tip for priorities: put your haulers, builders and research on low prio. They speed stuff up, but you can do without them. High prio water and food so you never run out of the essentials

Bro that long walk to the decontamination pods, lmao

I’ve been waiting all week for this to be posted 😃

I love eastenders intro for a game about wood

One thing you could do to improve efficiency is wherever you have a distant work area, station some food and water there. Likewise the decontamination pods should be as near as possible to where the beavers sleep, and there should be food and water nearby too. That way you don't waste time with unnecessary travel, so things get done faster.

Love the series. Have you figured out the forester near your water source yet? You need to mark some trees for planting! Also, you should check out some more mods. Ladders and vertical shafts are game changers, side platforms can be really useful in some situations, and I love that the ferris wheel takes the wellbeing points up to 69 😉

I love the "haha, I shouldnt laugh, hahaha"

-Put roof on houses ! -Build pods near housing !

Fun fact: you can build platforms *over* power shafts. If you lay them down in the badwater first, you can build power shafts underneath from the safety of a nice dry pier!

Water, wood and farmers always get maximum priority. Everything producing advanced food get high priority, as well as District carriers. Normal carriers get low priority. This way you can always be sure to have enough ressources in a emergency to build up.
