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.What Steam players say

building mega dams is addicting
The game is really good at keeping me entertained looking for new ways of getting (bad) water somewhere else :P. I would love to have better support for touch screens as I like playing it in my convertible laptop and the keyboard/mouse is needed for many reasons. PS: I play with proton on debian with a laptop most of the times, not in my main PC.
it's really addiction game not gonna lie, i do wish there more evulutions than just iron teeth, as you fast get the feeling you planed one you played them all.
I usually take a break from this game after completing a map. A few months later, when I see it in my Steam library, I hesitate clicking the play button. Why? Because I know I'm going to be sucked back in for hours at a time. This is a game that keeps me up late into the night while I fix just one more thing. It doesn't help that they continue to add unique maps.
Incredibly, absolutely, my favorite 'just relax' game where micromanaging everything remains fun, even as I'm exploring entirely new areas to help my beavers move into. Hits my ADHD perfectly, plays perfectly in the background (and you can 'build' alarms to let you know when the game needs your attention) and provides exactly the 'something else is happening' while I need to get work done.
Didn't believe the hype but this is way more fun than it ought to be
