About Timberborn

✦ AI summary

Lead a beaver colony through droughts and toxic seasons, building dams, aqueducts, and towering wooden structures to survive in a post-apocalyptic world. Manage resources, automate production chains, and reshape terrain with advanced water physics while choosing between the nature-loving Folktails or industrious Iron Teeth factions.

Mankind turned Earth into a dry wasteland and perished, but some species adapted and evolved. Pick one of the beaver factions and see how long your colony can last.

Beaver societies

Control one of two beaver factions: the nature-friendly Folktails or the industrious Iron Teeth. Each faction has unique buildings, technology, 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 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.

Water physics and terraforming

Beavers’ engineering skills are legendary. With Timberborn’s 3D water physics and terraforming, so can be yours. Put up dams and floodgates, erect massive aqueducts, dig canals and tunnels with explosives, and reshape the terrain to your liking.

Vertical architecture

Harness the game’s unique vertical architecture system. Space is limited, so stack lodges and workshops on top of each other. Construct platforms and bridges, set up an elaborate power grid, and let your beavers speed around on ziplines or through tubeways.

Lumberpunk

Turn timber into sophisticated machinery – from water wheels and lumber mills 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.

Automation

Automate tasks across your settlement by creating an intricate system of sensors, relays, counters, and other tools for advanced engineers. Self-controlling dams and factories are just the beginning.

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.

Well-being

Build a sprawling city with efficient production chains and follow the lives of its inhabitants day and night. As the population grows, satisfy your evolved rodents with a balanced diet, entertainment, decorations, and end-game monuments that help restore the Earth.

Map editor and mods

Play on one of the included maps or create your own and share it with the community. On top of the built-in map editor, Timberborn features official mod support. Tons of extra player-made content and quality-of-life additions are available, with more coming each day.

10/10 - I can't sleep anymore I just lay in bed thinking about my beavers.

Timberborn is a game that is made for a certain type of person. If youre okay with complexity and enjoy engineering or problem solving this is 100% the game for you. However if youre looking for laid back and easy, this is certainly not that. In the 9 hours I played I spent half of it trying to survive past the 5th cycle. Then just when I think Ive begun to figure it out I am met with another level of complexity- trying to figure out Dam mechanics in an effort to grow buildable land. I am very excited to spend more hours playing, learning, and probably dying a time or two again haha

It is a very good city builder game. The water mechanics make it very unique. They only downside (for me) is that there are not any scenarios. It is up to you to determine what the end state is.
Recommended Oct 1, 2026
It satisfies a very specific itch of automation and town building

start get stuff build and research stuff make robots idea have robots make more robots start robot work uprising no jobs for the beavers Exterminate the flesh
Recommended Oct 1, 2026
This is a great game. It's refreshing to play a city builder that abandons the Sim City/Cities Skylines ideas of taxes, zoning rules, happiness and traffic management and instead builds around the idea of a community of hardworking and entirely selfless fuzzy folks in a world that can, and does, try to kill them fairly regularly.

Games like Frostpunk for anyone who misses the Book of Laws more than the cold: the sequel's factions, a besieged house, beaver droughts, a drifting ark and the template it came from.

Games like Portal 2, where one idea carries the whole game

Games like Portal 2 all share one habit: teach a single impossible trick, then spend a campaign breaking it. From rewinding objects through time to Escher geometry that loops back on itself.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
