Timberborn 1.0 | S8 Ep4 ~ Droughts, Dams, and MORE Flywheels

Episode 4 brings a big milestone as we finally complete our badwater mitigation system. Naturally, the game responds by giving us a drought instead. No stress test just yet. To help the colony survive the dry season, we expand the dam infrastructure and create a second reservoir to keep our trees healthy and hydrated. Because unhappy trees tend to become no trees pretty quickly. Meanwhile, industry keeps growing and by the end of the episode we’re officially producing metal blocks, pushing the colony into a whole new era of beaver engineering. And yes… I still absolutely love the windmills and flywheels. Round and round we go!
