Welcome to Timberborn Update 5 - Badwater!

The biggest Timberborn content patch to date is now live, featuring the dangerous badwater, the challenging new in-game season, new production chains, reworked maps, extra attractions, QoL tweaks, and more!

Claim your key and see if your beavers can survive the contamination!

Timberborn Update 5 features:

• Badwater Sources and Badtide seasons pollute waterways, contaminate beavers, and kill crops, creating a new gameplay loop and challenges for even the most experienced player.
• New faction-specific Buildings and Technologies to deal with contamination challenges; water filtration tool and Badwater source rigs to manufacture contamination cures join existing hydroengineering tools.
• Terraforming landscape is no longer exclusive to bots, however, bots are now immune to Badwater contamination, making them more versatile workers.
• New faction-specific Decorations and Attractions, from lanterns and hammocks to exercise plazas and beaver-compatible wind tunnels.
• Many Quality of Life additions, including custom keybinds, allowing players to flip asymmetrical buildings, and thumbnails and descriptions for custom maps.

About Timberborn

Humans are long gone. In a world struck by droughts and toxic waste, will your lumberpunk beavers do any better? A city-building game featuring ingenious animals, vertical architecture, water physics, and terraforming. Contains high amounts of wood.

Beaver societies

Control one of two beaver factions: the nature-friendly Folktails or the industrious Iron Teeth. Each faction has a unique style, buildings, and gameplay traits. Choose what fits your playstyle!

Wet, dry, and toxic seasons

Prepare your settlement for recurring droughts and waves of toxic waste. Stockpile on food and keep fields and forests alive even after rivers dry up. Rely on both natural water sources and artificial irrigation to keep the land arable and your beavers safe.

River control

Beavers of the future have millennia of experience in water engineering. Put up dams and floodgates, dig canals with explosives, and reshape the terrain to your liking. Use your wit to deal with the noxious badwater and bring life back to the wasteland.

Lumberpunk

Turn timber into sophisticated machinery – from water wheels and sawmills to engines and mechanized pumps. Wood is the core resource in Timberborn, but the most advanced structures require metal. To find it, send your scavengers to the ruins of the old world.

Bots

Supercharge your colony with mechanized beavers. Power them up, maintain them, and you'll get extra efficient workers for almost any job. They operate 24/7, and you can send them to the most hazardous areas.

Vertical architecture

Create a thriving beaver settlement using a vertical architecture system. Space is limited, so stack lodges and workshops on top of each other, construct platforms and bridges, and set up a power grid for your growing population.

Day and night cycle

Build a multi-district city with efficient production chains and nighttime activities. Follow the lives of individually simulated inhabitants throughout their day and celebrate when the next generation is born!

Well-being

An evolved beaver's lifestyle is not just "work, sleep and chomp on wood". Satisfy the needs of your rodents with a balanced diet, decorations, monuments, and more – on top of keeping the colony alive.

Map editor

Play on one of the included maps or create your own and share it with the community! With hills of different heights, ruins scattered in the desert, and all life depending on access to water, each map poses a different challenge.

...and more!

Ever since the project started, we have been improving the game and adding new features based on community feedback. We’re making the world’s first beaver city-builder so if you want to carve it with us, hop into Timberborn Early Access!
