Timberborn (v1.0.12.3)

Timberborn is a city-building simulation set in a post-apocalyptic world where humanity has vanished, leaving the Earth transformed into a dry wasteland. In this unique setting, beavers have evolved and formed thriving societies. Players choose between two distinct beaver factions—the nature-oriented Folktails or the industrious Iron Teeth—each offering unique buildings, technologies, and gameplay styles. Your goal is to manage a growing colony, carefully balancing resources and infrastructure to survive through challenging wet, dry, and toxic seasons. As rivers dry up and toxic waste spreads, maintaining water supplies and food stocks becomes essential, requiring clever use of both natural water sources and engineered irrigation systems. The game stands out with its advanced water physics and terraforming mechanics, allowing players to build intricate dams, aqueducts, canals, and tunnels to control the landscape and water flow. Timberborn’s vertical architecture system lets you stack lodges, workshops, and platforms, creating compact and efficient settlements. The “lumberpunk” theme brings a charming twist on resource management, with timber as the central resource used to craft sophisticated machinery like water wheels, engines, and pumps, while metal scavenged from old-world ruins unlocks more advanced structures. Progressive automation systems allow players to set up self-regulating factories and dams using sensors and relays. Additionally, mechanized beaver bots can be maintained as tireless workers, enhancing productivity especially in dangerous areas. Beyond survival, the game encourages players to build sprawling cities with complex production chains and focus on the well-being of their beaver inhabitants through balanced diets, entertainment, and decorative monuments. Timberborn also supports an active modding community and includes a map editor, offering endless possibilities for customization and new challenges.
