Timberborn 1.0 | S8 Ep5 ~ Surviving the Badwater Tide

Episode 5 is all about steady progress and cozy engineering. We continue tweaking and improving the colony’s industry, though this settlement is definitely more about relaxed vibes than perfect optimization. Then the real test arrives: our first major badwater tide! Thankfully, the mitigation system actually works. A few adjustments are still needed, but overall the beavers successfully avoid turning their main water source into spicy toxic soup. To cap things off, we finally bring the Observatory online, opening the door for even bigger projects ahead. The future of Gnawville looks bright.
