Timberborn

Timberborn is a colony-building game set on an Earth left dry and barren by humanity. Some species adapted and evolved; you choose one of two beaver factions and try to keep your colony alive.

Beaver factions

The nature-friendly Folktails and industrious Iron Teeth each have unique buildings, technology and gameplay traits.

Seasons and water

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

The game features 3D water physics and terraforming. Build dams, floodgates and aqueducts, dig canals and tunnels with explosives, and reshape the terrain.

Build and power

Space is limited, so stack lodges and workshops using the vertical architecture system. Build platforms and bridges, set up a power grid, and move your beavers around on ziplines or through tubeways.

Timber is the core resource. Turn it into machinery such as water wheels, lumber mills, engines and mechanized pumps. Advanced structures also need metal, which your scavengers can find in the ruins of the old world.

Automation and bots

Create systems of sensors, relays, counters and other tools to automate settlement tasks. You can build self-controlling dams and factories, and power and maintain mechanized beavers to work efficiently around the clock, including in hazardous areas.

Colony life

Build production chains and follow the lives of your beavers day and night. As the population grows, provide a balanced diet, entertainment and decorations, and build end-game monuments that help restore the Earth.

Maps and mods

Play on included maps or make your own with the built-in map editor and share it with the community. Timberborn also supports mods, including player-made content and quality-of-life additions.
