40:50 The waterwheel is getting movement from the backflow of current. Your water pumps are lowering the water level upstream of the wheels so the current is flowing in reverse. It doesn't make 'much' of a difference, but you generally want to place your pumps 'after' your waterwheels so they can add to the speed of the current as opposed to detract from it.

I can see some beaver rubbing their paws together over the scarecrow science cost, because they were the one to make it cost so much, citing 'extensive studies of birb behavioral patterns' to establish the idea design... secretly they just wanted to go birdwatching.

Famine and then immediately badtide is forecasted. Well, this series was fun; shame it had to end so early.

FYI, you can turn the bad tides off completely if you want if that’s the type of game you want to play. Turning off the bad tides does not stop the bad water sources, so you can still get the ingredients to make dynamite. The game is still a fun and relaxing game to play, even if you keep the bad tides on, you just need to know what you’re doing 😂

52:34 you're missing a path to that warehouse underneath the platform

Hi, glad to see you back in timberborn. FYI showers + lidos will automatically close when hit by bad water so that won’t infect your beavers, the path from one side of the river to the other going in the water will infect beavers!

The early game lull isn't the game's fault, it's entirely down to how you play. If you unlock the forester first and build it and a lumber mill ASAP so the planks are ready as soon as the first science points roll in, and start with some faster-growing trees for the first lumber "crop", this mostly avoids the lull. If you wait to get a forester built until all the easy trees on the map are gone and then go straight for oaks, you get a lull. Either way works in the end but it's not the game's fault that you chose the second option.

@KatherineOfSky

4 ай бұрын

Well it IS. If you choose faster trees you get MUCH less logs and still use up all the available grow area, so you are going to get a lull either way. Using proper trees is clearly the more efficient option.

@@KatherineOfSky What I do is plant a mix of birch, pine, and oak. Then, as soon as the first planting is done I clear the birch and pine planting orders. As those trees are harvested, I swap the birch for pine and the pine for oak. This takes a bit more micromanagement, but means the forester's output ramps up over time instead of being zero for 30-in game days and then suddenly going to maximum. The end-result is an all-oak forest, but this plan gets there without the lull.

@@KatherineOfSky Only if you go way overboard with your buildings. Like 8 Waterwheels which require 40 logs each😀 This way the player really has to think about what to build first instead of just putting everything down at once.

the scarecrow, is it a beaver or the much scarier to birds human? so might need so much science points to do the archeology and reconstruction of their body to resemble the terror from the past accurately makes sense if you think about it

I agree the lull of the forester is a pain. I think its unnecessary, if the forester stays something that needs unlocked, i hope for some middle ground. For instance beavers gnawing down a wild tree will plant another, or a job that is less efficient at planting trees than the forester. For me this would allow even more of a sandbox feel. Enjoying the series, thanks for your time

Since badwater I've been dealin with lots of hunger waves as well. One moment there's an abundance of food, the other they're all hungry. Further in the game, you usually move from carrots to more "involved" food like potatoes or wood, making you reliant on more steps (and more beavers). Having a bad tide destroy lots of crops definitely doesn't help

@@KatherineOfSkyLOL! Sweet. That explains why my web searches were devoid of fruit.

0:40 The problem isn't that the Forester takes a long amount of time, the problem is that Oaks take a long amount of time to grow. A generally good strategy to use when starting a new growing area is to plant 2/3's of it with Birch and 1/3 with Oak. Then when the Birch is ready to be harvested, replace 1/2 of the remaining 2/3's (1/3) with more Oak and the other 1/2 with Birch. Finally, when that Birch is ready to be harvested, replace it with Oak. This will ensure that you have a 'steady' influx of Logs, not a sudden surplus followed by a long lull.

For some reason, you don't think I have played this game for years and have tested every single planting strategy, and do what I do for very good reason. I wonder why.

Early Game Forester: That's exactly what makes this game interesting. Here are some tipps to get your forester super early: 1. Build the inventor and 1x plank production with power wheel as soon as possible (You get the ressources back later if you demolish the power wheel. But reliable power is super important to get the planks!) 2. Avoid building housing until the forester is built (if possible) (Also in general only built the absolute minimum of everything you need) 3. Build 2 Foresters next to each other (they plant treex 2x as fast and you can demolishone later if you want) 4. Plant pines (12 Days Growth) instead of Oaks (30 Days Geowth) -> Trust me, that makes a HUGE difference! 5. Replace around 25% of your pines with oaks step by step Like this I have almost 0 waiting time in the early game on logs (as long as the projects aren't getting too big of course😂)

Planting pines is a waste since they take a HUGE amount of time and produce almost no logs. And they still take up an irrigated square.

@@KatherineOfSky We already established our differences on that topic under another comment. As already stated there I also had the strategy of Oaks only like you do and therefore had to wait "ages" on logs in the early game. I can just encourage everyone to open your mind and give pines a try in the early game as nice, quick wood supply.

I did notice with the old system that content creators would try to bump the priority of a building on a platform without realising that the platform's low priority would take precedence; maybe new users found this too confusing which would explain the change. I can see how it would be annoying if you had learned the old behaviour though.
