Did anyone else notice the water flowed around the outside of the floodgate and back into the river during the badwater test. Needs one more levee. Biffa is in for a surprise when it hits and turns all his water bad. Things going wrong is on track for this season though.
Glad someone else noticed 😅
Yep, I noticed that too.
Wasn't going to say anything and watch him panic
I tried screaming into the void in the hope it would cause a ripple in the force. 😆
Eeeyup
LADDERS: They need to be built on empty ground, but then a path needs to be put up to and under the bottom ladder. Also, one side of the “cube” has the ladder go up, which blocks the ability to walk through and off the ladder from that side.
Plus, beavers can only build two levels upwards, so if you need to build higher _up_ you must put 2-level scaffolding next to it, so they can "step out" and build the next two ladders
@@samtroyou both beat me to it.
Yeah, the blocked side is key. It prevents you from being able to to do things on all 4 sides of it. You have to have the ladder blocking an empty direction. Building them carelessly causes them to block access to the buildings you are stacking. So you can have 1 path, with storages on the left and right, and the ladder blocking the foreward direction, leading to an effective dead end path with storages stacked as high as you want them on both sides, but you can't continue the path without a whole 2nd stack of ladders back to back for a really long detour up to the top and then back down the other side. If you don't want that, then you have to skip a layer of storages, such as the bottom layer, and use something like 1x1 platforms or offset storages so that one ladder can block that side direction while the rest block the foreward or backward direction (since they have access via the ladder they are built on top of, you can block the ground entrance direction)
Beavers can use ladders to climb and build on top of other ladders. You can remove a path to put a ladder in as long as the ladder is on the side away from the building entrance. The problem with your current ladder setup is that it is not connected by a path on the ground and the ladders are blocking the building entrance. Turn the ladders 180 degrees and put a path connecting the bottom ladder to the path just to the north. Ladders automatically make a path for the solid building/ground spot they are on.
@@avemt1 they can't build while standing on the tile they are building on, which is what happens when you stack more than 2 ladders. Due to their ability to build up only 1 tile, the 3rd ladder is out of reach from the ground, forcing them to climb the ladder to reach it. But without some platform to stand on, then they just end up standing on the 3rd ladders tile and thus can not build it. Maybe an older version allowed this, but not this one.
I remember that some time ago Biffa was having trouble because any game other than CS would under perform on his channel. I'm glad that you were finally able to expand the variety of your content.
I’m not seeing anyone else give this tip so figure I can throw it out there: You should plant other crops besides Kohlrabies. They’ll need some additional processing but the food per day and per tile is much better. That means you’ll need fewer beavers employed in food production and few tiles devoted to food production if you use other crops. This was something I had to learn with the Iron Teeth the first time I played them.
Yeah much like trees I like to plant a good mix so you get some fast and some bigger amounts. Plus you get a higher wellbeing score for multiple types of food!
You don't need to switch the Farmhouses from harvesting to planting and back. Just put them on planting and they will also harvest the crops when they are done growing. The only harvest option is for example when you need to get everything fast before the water dries up or if you want the bulk of the crops harvested by the farm nearest to storage and others plant new
With Iron Teeth there's an efficiency trick, because harvesting takes longer than planting. Build 2 farmhouses, one with 2 beavers and set to harvest only, the other with 1 beaver and set to plant.
The ladders for the storage: Either rotate them 90 degrees or build platform in front of the storage doors and the latter stack next to them. With the latter method you ca build as high as you want.
..and yeah connect the paths also at the bottom. Loving the plan, I tried this map and failed utterly 😅
you can (and should) build two or three waterwheels side by side so that you're covering the whole river, and you're capturing as much power from the flow of water as possible. I'm sure I'm not the only person to say so, but scrolling the comments on mobile is an arse. And the waterwheel acts sort of as a blockage in itself, so the water slightly prefers to go around it if flow is low (As it is on this map)
Bump
This is the way. Biffa vs. water physics never gets old, though.
He briefly addressed this at the end of the last season. It's a strong bet that he won't learn it this season either!
additional comment - if a building glows yellow when you're building something else that means you're blocking it with the new building. If it glows green that means it connects (so either Paths for beaver access or Power) You also forgot to connect the bottom of your ladder to the paths :P
Okay. You need tripple floodgates in front of your water source (no levees) and you need to use Levees around your water wheels to funnel the water through them. The water can currently flow around the wheel
I would put other water wheel next to existing one. It would also force all water to go through wheels
Paths on top of levees will make the dam construction a bit easier. Might try turning the ladders so that the ladder rungs aren't blocking the door, but I haven't used them. (And connect the bottom of the ladder to a path).
This is correct, beavers can't move through the rungs on the ladder. but can enter/exit through the other 3 horizontal sides.
Just as I'm feeling lost for something to do with my Saturday morning - saved by Teamberborn ❤
Enjoy 👍😁
The ladders have to be connected at the bottom of them to paths to function
24:50 There's no path at the bottom of the ladders!
They can only reach a 10x10 square for building from the nearest path :) (in each direction)
Biffa saying everything is great at the end, and has two water pumps paused and the stored water dropping...
😬
Big "this is fine" meme energy
suggest blocking the massive gap in your dam and making the outflow on the right side where you have 2 exit flow routes that can more easily be setup with a triple size gate
I'm probably going to set up a few exits 👍😁
Dam, that's a lot of planning. But _dam be planned_ - it'll work!
...or something
The ladders act as paths you just have to connect them. You also need to make sure the ladder side isn't towards where you want them to go, they cant get off and move through it. You need levees on the side of your badwater diverter, its gonna flow back into your fresh water as it is now. You need to lower your work hours again, that's why people are not getting food and water.
Great idea about the dam and where to place it! You've built huge electricity towers and other big dams, this will work just fine in the end!! Fun video 🤩 Had some laughs of forgetting they were Beavers 😄Sounds like my household!!
Hello biffa! I've seen the video, and I have some remarks; first of all, ladders have 4 sides and one of them has theladder, and this side the beavers cannot go trough, but can go in the 3 others side. also you should start to plan the path to the dem, and you should put the corner piece before you forget to, as we all do. and with your badtide deviation thing, the water can go beside it and end up in your river, contaminating it. And in case you need to, i remeber you there's 2 other water sources on the map.
25:52 if you do, bring RCE in
As simple as putting a path underneath the ladders will fix your problem
Here's my thought on the water wheel not working, the water pumps are drawing the water away from your wheel. Moving the pumps away from the wheel mite let the wheel work.😀
The last time I played on that map was a while ago (before badwater specifically) but what I normally do on there is make a big vertical box of water at the top water source and then also build up a tile or 2 each side around the river on the top of the mountain, and later dynamite down a few layers. That way you can store quite a lot of water stored on top of the mountain. One technique to also consider is making "power channels" where you dynamite out a trench, drop a mechanical power shaft in it and put platforms with a path above. This brings power, water (and therefore fertility) wherever you want it. It can be a great way to open up new areas becasue you bring all that with you.
Yay! New Teamberborn episode :)
I started the same map in hardmode with folk tails, but sadly they all died recently. Too many frequent and long droughts killed my crops and drained the supplies empty. RIP
Eek 😬
Problem is not really droughts ,but frequent badtides
yep those up to 30 day droughts on hard mode are definitely a killer, you need lots of storage, iirc you need enough storage for Water/food, 3 units of water per beaver per day and 3 units of food per beaver per day(example 100 beavers need 900 water and 900 food for a 30day drought), for IT you also need berries on top of this number for reproduction.
@@crowaust 3x30 is 90units for each per beaver. x30 days 2700 of water and food
@@andriii7 Crap, I new something felt off when I was doing the math, I'll fix that up, although you are also wrong, you accounted for the days twice, it's 3(units per day)x30(number of days)x100(number of beavers), so 900 each of food and water.
I swear Biffa make these schoolboy errors on purpose, making a dam that doesn't dam properly, stairs & paths that don't connect properly... He's sitting there reading the comments rubbing his hands with glee at everyone falling for his act. He deserves a 🏆
🙄
I always learn more about this game with every episode. From you and all the peeps in the comments.
I'm really digging the variety that you have going on within your channel.
Glad you like them! Thankyou ☺️
This game is soo deep one u learn about water folding
You know what could be cool for a third faction? One that focuses on fluid dynamics. For example, they could build wells which would be slow, but provide a constant source of drinking water, even during droughts and badtides. In addition, as they progress with science, they could build aquifers and aqueducts, which would automatically transport water over long distances.
The whitepaw modded faction is *insanely* difficult to play, but uses water much more interestingly, if you're looking for a new challenge
"Oh my brain" that's much more polite than what I say to myself 😉👍
Hi Biffa,
The ladders have 3 openings for routes because the ladder is in the way of the 4th until the one at the top which can be accessed from all 4 directions. you just needed to rotate them and it would have worked but best to keep in mind which directions you might want paths in the future because you can path through ladders as well.
In the SE corner there is a water source. You'll have to construct q way over there I suggest just using levees, since you're going to need to build a wall anyway. Use the Dynamite to blow a hole near the water source so the water can head south from the view you shot, once you build your bypass, and secured the other flood gates since you need 2 sides, I suggest exploding to the level of your lowest terrain in both ends of the first inlet so you can make sure that the bad water escapes, then just north of where you shot your photo you should just use that small gap that's there to set up the main dam, it'll provide a lot of clean water when done as long as you don't forget to open and close the gates you should be set. Also, if you keep going a little further south you can use the cliff on the that side of the mountain which you can use for batteries and an industrial complex, unless you just want to use the platforms in the water of the lake you just created. Enjoy. Sorry for the long comment
Ladder's cannot be placed over built paths but you can place a path on the ladder like stairs after they are built. The ladder will join a path from 3 directions, so the ladders can be inline with existing paths but you have to remove the path section first then place it back by clicking on the ladder. I absolutely abuse the ladder and forsake the stairs in favour of it.
I do love it when you say something that you later act out such as when you said it's like you've never played it before than a few minutes later wonder why the dam is too far knowing all to well that you didn't have a path going to it. I will also say that i would've gone through the trees not the water to reach it.
Build multiple waterwheels next to each other. The water will take the path of least resistance. But if it can’t avoid the water wheels you will make alot more power.
10:36 They can build down, but the need a path to the build site. That is why you are getting the unable to reach error, you just needed to cut a path through the trees (maybe you do in a bit I haven't reached that far in the video 😉)
Fun fact: the worlds largest beaver dam is actually longer than Hoover Dam, and can be seen from "space"(though, exactly what altitude constitutes as "space" is a bit nebulous).
Waiting for your sip of tea so i could drink my coffee 😂
16:58 You might want to put a couple of blocks on the side of the floodgate or else the bad water will just flow into your good water reserve.
With the water wheel. I don’t play timberborn, so don’t take my word for it. But maybe it’s some finicky mechanic because the water needs to flow “sideways”.
I would try to move the whole contraption with the water wheel and sawmill adjacent to the 7:13 water pumps, and see if that helps. If not, then I’ve got no clue!
Great job and best regards as always!
Water mechanics in the game are a little finnicky but the easiest solution would have been to double up the wheel, and have 2 water wheels.
The water takes the route of least resistance, and the water wheels have a resistance, and the free flowing tiles beside it was enough to basically reduce the flow through the wheel to nothing.
17:00 I think the time is, but where you’ve built the bad water diversion you will still have spillage next to the floodgate to the left, might be worth building it out further just to be save? Might just be me though 😅
Dam the water entering from the right edge of map, you can blast out a deep huge reservoir. Also, you want to use districts in this map. Unlock the engine when you can. Get away from the Korables, they're like skittles, no long term nutritional value. You've got to move up to other food sources, all which require preparation, fermenters, factories. Takes planning. Need explosives as soon as possible. Don't overbuild.
Biffa you dont need to worry about the oaks drying out from not having water for too long. It takes nearly an entire max size drought for them to die from drying out. So if they have any water for at least a quarter of a drought then they will be fine. Bad tide is what will be the real killer for them when that hits.
I think you might want the mega-dam one layer lower, it’ll make it possible to send the water down those two channels to the ‘right’ (if you were standing on the proposed floodgates looking at town) and create a lot of fertile land.
Still got the beavers working 20 hour days. Has the colony stabalised enough you can drop back to 16?
Looking forward to all your videos. Thanks for the entrrtainment Biffa
Theo don't seem to mind so I won't tell them if you don't 🤣
HP/CMS is the waterwheel's Horsepower output per Cubic Meter per Second of water flow through the waterwheel. And if there isn't enough water flow to turn the wheel, no power is produced
When the beavers have overrun the place start building giant storage towers and put a flaming monument on top!
2:56 Just use a small warehouse, they take 3 logs a platform uses uses 6 logs (4 planks + 2 logs)
I wish these videos were longer than 30mins.
I would propably make the mega dam one layer shorter so the large area on the left at 27:04 would be all usable instead of being cut in half by the dam. Also if you shift the dam slight on the right you get the lower level in use as well. Also I would incorporate the two branches at 28:21 right away to the plan so that there is no unnesessary building taking place
Sir Biffa,
can you build at the End of the Street with the Homes a 3x3 Stairs Circle ? So you can build the Apartments up to a Tower and in L Form add your Storages up too. And connect to your new Industrial Area. I think this look great and it is very useful.
You don't need to have beavers remove the tree stumps, you can just build over them without problem. If you just don't like the looks, place paths above them and delete the paths afterwards
I had multiple false starts on this map, but once you get settled in, it’s not so bad. Currently over engineering a bad water fix to make it completely miss everything!
One comment on your mega dam - you've got a channel off to the right (and I *think to the left) that could be filled with water, if you don't close them off. You might be able to gain even more land if you allow the water to flow through those channels, and save a lot of logs in the process.
Further down the line you can use the tall barracks to transfer power. You can stack a bunch of them for vertical power lines.
Oooh 👍
If you are using mods already, I would suggest the one that gives you metal floodgates so you can have ones that reach the full height of your dam. Also, remember to unlock spiral staircases. They are very helpful for saving space.
👍
Treat the water like its traffic my dear Biffa, if you only have 2 lanes coming on the waterway, most efficent use of the water will be 2 lanes.
The water pump upstream may also have been reducing the flow at the water wheel.
Love your work, how about a big ambition series?
If the bad water won't get you, the drought will with that many bobr's
you Only need One Forester per every four lumberjacks on oaks as an example after 30 days the lumberjacks will cut down as quickly as the forester plants.
You'd save sooooo much wood and gain more water by going to the right and using the natural land/cliffs abit more on the dam!
At around 26:30, when you're laying out the ground work for the dam. Maybe it would be better to use the natural landscape to help cut back on the wood usage. Also could you set up some floodgates between the two ridgelines so you could have even more fertile land below them?
The struggle (to watch U do easy things look hard) is REAL ;)
I would only say that waterwheels need the flow of water to go through ONLY middle block - it's the only one registering - so if You block flow the way that water has to go through the middle block of waterwheel - it will be optimised as best as can be.
P.S.
As for the "deathwaves" - none of it happens when You breed well - and it is possible with iron beavers, because You decide when they are born - all You need is to have breeding vats working in sequence rather than all with the same timers. Start new breeding process every day at dusk - have up to 5 different timers for vats and later in game - add more vats to each timer. Then You will have beavers being born (and eventually dying) every day/few days one or (later) few at a time, rather than many born (and then die) at once.
Bear in mind that increasing beaver happiness increases their lifespan A LOT - so try to improve beavers happiness level every breeding cycle if possible at start - and later in game at least once every new season cycle (green + drought/badwater). It works! No death waves - just steady flow of workforce FOR THE MINES !!!! Buahaahahahaahahaha !
Put 2 farmhouses side by side and set one to prioritise planting and other harvesting. And maybe 1 beaver is enough for each.
I don't think you really need to have one focused on harvesting. The ones focused on planting will harvest so that they can plant and it saves a huge amount of time because they'll plant the new crop as soon as they've harvested the old one, so they aren't leaving the whole field empty because they haven't gotten the last few crops yet. The only time you'd need to focus on harvesting is if you're desperate for food because everyone's starving or if you want to get the last crops in before turning the land to a different use, if you want to just have more workers to speed up production you have them all on planting because you want as little time as possible when there's nothing in the field.
@@littlebear274 That also works. Now both are just harvesting and fields are at times empty because no-one is planting.
If you prioritize every building, it's the same as not doing any of them
Note the lower level, you could close the last flood gates and make the river spill into the crater. This would keep the land green during the draught as well.
That's what I was thinking, TNT a couple of tiles would maybe be more effective but before researching it just flooding the whole area so that some of the water spills into the hole would also work since there's nothing really there yet that would suffer from being flooded.
With the farms never set them to prioritize harvesting. If you do that they will harvest the entire plot before planting new plants which means you won't have new food growing while they harvest the rest of the grown food.
need to run a path to the ladder
Love the new series...keep up the great work...can't wait to see the mega dam
Thankyou 😁
Biffa, Drop your Big-dam-wall by one level then look at how much green you'd have!
👍
dont prioritize harvesting on your farms, it is restricting your food production because they will harvest all the food before they plant more giving you a time of no harvesting.
unless you have lots of farms grouped together always have farms set to planting so that when they pick the food they plant more straight after so you end up with a constant harvest with no down time (unless you dont have enough storage)
Limiter on food is not enough farmhouse. More land area planted than can handle.
Shouldn't dams be closer to the spring? To have a reservoir?
During a drought the water will be downstream and upstream there will be drought
Definitely a problem when the water wheel goes Backwards.
I'd build the dam 1 levee lower. Otherwise you'll be wasting a lot of fertile land. Great video btw😊
Kohlrabies is the least efficient crop, try cassava, you need a fermenter, but it feeds far more beavles per square of farmland.
Edit: Just reread my comment and realised it sounds a bit rude. Sorry Biffa, I wasn't meaning to be.
Aw man you can't leave us hanging like this!
😁👍
25:00 Biffa, just put a way under the ladder. Thats it.
you just oversaw it.
Ladders have 1 direction that is blocked, rotate them
dams and waterwheels are bugged. They don't know how to fix it. Because if you do have a dam then you won't have moving water. And the dams are leaking out the sides.
The ladder issue was you had no path from base of the ladded to connect it to anything else.
Unstuckify - the mod will move stuck beavers back to the district center. As easy to install as the ladder mod. :)
I've seen odd things done to this map before. Will e interesting to sww how you grow it.
Just double check you bad water flush, because it looked like it was still flowing into the river when you closed the floodgates.
the super dam looks really great
👍😁
They can ise the latters to go straight uo your issue was that there was no path between the general path and the steps, they go off path to build if its close by but they wont once the building is complete
Be very careful of breeding pods during a drought. They are a great sucker of food and water and can easily but your supplies in danger
You can't have a path under your water pump intake, sir!
Indeed 😊
I have to wait a full week??? 😢😢 😂 Thanka biffa, fun as always
😁
3:12 it would have been better to have them at the end where the last karbi(?) is as it probably looks weird just having three or four there
Nice Video!
Thanks!
You need to have the bottom ladder connected by path
tldr: building 1 height lower will waste less wood, waste less land, and be easier to control.
I think the great dam should be 1 block height lower than what you planned. There will be a lot less flooding control needed and on the tributaries you will only need to make individual dam instead of damming over the top of the raised land between. That'll also let you build/plant on the raised land between the tributaries.
Prioritizes everything so nothing has priority 😂
27:11 sounds like a dam good dam plan to me!
🫡

🫡
Only a guess, but it would be a bit difficult to supply a building going up a ladder.
your loggers are missing a bunch of the new trees (pine and birch) that you planted...
A dam good plan
I would try to swap the diagonal sides with straight sides for ease of building, but otherwise good plan.
Good stuff. Gooood stuffff.
Glad you enjoyed it 😊
BIGGER and MORE STORAGE.
