The fact that Matt started this episode saying beavers can build infinitely down and didn’t build platforms over the water to build down for the cap on the poo
@@angelramirezgarcia8264 I mean, ultimately what would save him would be for him to upload that world into the Experimental 0.6 build where platforms can be built on and there's impermeable floors so he doesn't have to make the Megaquaduct. He could just make a normal-ish aquaduct that does the same thing on top of using the overhangs to save on wood to get the same job done. But he's an engineer, not a logistics supplier. He's also still hellbent on putting the badwater dome on the badwater spring instead of putting on the badwater refinery, which makes the spring act like a pump without allowing the badwater to actually spill out. Essentially he's addressed his problem at the beginning of this episode, which is he gets distracted way too easily. He was so distracted with the power tower last video he was staring right at his gigadam reservoir drying up in the background and he still just didn't notice it until it was a bit too late.
Matt, if you want to easily build the up down power shaft, press the button beneath the work time, it will cut off the build layer from the view. Right now it's at ∞ mode, no cut off, when you press the down arrow once, it will cut off anything from the top layer
Came here looking for this. I actually discovered this feature because my Alt was being registered as being held down (probably because of alt-tabbing), I noticed that the number under the work time is changing when I scroll. Really useful in situations like these! Also, if RCE reads this: please know that you can dynamite under where the gravity battery's weights will fall down so they can go even lower, their capacity will increase.
14:00 The order the beavers build things in is actually very straightforward. So when you're placing down buildings, that puts them in a first in first out queue, and when you change it's priority, you switch it to a different queue, but it retains it's position. Beavers will supply building materials to the first placed highest priority building they can, and barring that, will start working on the second priority queue, then the third, fourth, and finally fifth. If you ensure your build order is from furthest to closest, it'll help prevent beavers from getting stuck as often.
usually but there are ways it'll periodically lose track of the order depending on supply distance for what's being built along with the distance of which ever builder it calls for to finalize the piece.
@@sirmonkey1985 It doesn't "lose track", it's just that when multiple beavers are working, the one that started first might be further away and get there later. The first beaver to pick a job will still pick the highest priority one that they can do though.
As a Jobsite superintendent (American), yes, general contractors do the sequencing of the building, as well as find all the architect’s failures, and attempt to engineer a solution to whatever silly problem was ambiguously scribbled on the print
As an electrical designer, I can confirm that my job is literally "take the consultant's drawings and figure out how to make it buildable". And then cry when it's halfway completed and we get a slew of changes because there's only so much future proofing you can do and still stay in budget, so back to the drawing board we go.
3:37 oh, so you remember that they can buld down infinitely... so... why won't you build scaffolding in poocano instead of stairs?🤔 unless you actually want to have another InCiDeNt 😂
C'mon, that'd be too smart, what'd we take Matt for if he did this? Secretly and Architect? I mean surely he'd know when to use sensible engineering... right? Right?!? 🤔
when a beaver becomes stranded, they leave any district that they're part of, so they're not part of any district. when you then save them, they join the closest district, which is often the one that you haven't actually set up.
I didn’t think it was because of the walls rather than it being in ground. The definition doesn’t say anything about height of a canal other than a passage of water so I agree
@@TheLastFoust I am Sorry! that's probably due to the translation. In German, "Akquädukt" is actually just the term for Aqueduct (bridge), a bridge to convey water over an obstacle, such as a ravine or valley. But in English there is acqueduct as a bridge and as a general water supply.
MATT!!!!!: 23:50 You didn't/don't need to go to 'Experimental 6' to make this an easier project. Once you had the tower built and batteries on top you could have created an external 'staircase' of power connectors without needing stairs. You already have the stairs of the tower; all you had to do was build an ascending cross-back of power connections that could be built from the stairs of the battery tower, allowing for more than one-at-a-time building of the connectors. I'm visualizing it like an external fire escape stairs, but made up of only supports and power pieces; no stairs necessary. (they're already in the tower) The current shenanigans puts me to mind of an architect. ;) cheers Matt
Without overhang, the power shafts must be internal to the structure since it will block the batteries otherwise. Furthermore, since there's no maintenance mechanic, those stairs are a waste of resources once he commits to use x number of batteries. It makes sense (during the design phase, at least) to make use of existing material and structures to build the power connectors.
@@bepamungkas So the powertrain has to be built off of the side that doesn't have a battery. Big deal. And focusing on what is best in the finished structure without consideration of how to build it smells like architecture to me.
To solve your problem building inside the tower, you can switch through the levels by decreasing the "infintiy" in the upper right corner (right underneath the working time). That way you can hide level by level and see inside your tower.
Please read Matt! Top right, under hide water there is 2 arrows, click the down arrow a few times, it will hide buildings above that height, it is very useful for building things like your power tower. To change it back to default view after, you can either click the up arrow, or there will be a new button appear that will reset it to default build height.
This was more irritating to be honest, he did all of that to the dam without realising he couldn't place the water wheel, replaced all of the scaffolding, lot of chaos compared to other episode
Hey this is going to be very random but a couple of years ago I discovered your channel while I was going through a very hard time. I used to watch your videos a lot, especially Timberborn.

I thought the purpose of the megaqueduct was to use the new water spawning physics to create a raised waterway for to fill the poocano, and provide a platform that the waterwheels could be built on?
The new water physics are only in the experimental build at the moment, which he mentioned he won't be using in this series. It's not physically possible to create an aqueduct in the live version. In order to fill it with water wheels he would also need to build up the bottom so that it's 1 tile lower than the walls, but that would be an ungodly amount of wood so I kinda doubt he'll end up doing that.
If you press the alt key and then use your scroll wheel to see what layer you want to build on and then you can more easily build your power train on your tower ( it help me a lot )
This is why when I build towers, I build them in a way where they can climb up and build the power connection in one go and when the power and tower is all built, down goes the foot scaffolding and tons of resources can be recovered.
He means making it work as in building it, engineers make it a functional structural building a contractors building would collapse instantly or the council would do it for them. As for architects their designs don't work functionally or structurally and engineers and contractors have to make it work.
About that diagonal being the same as the squared corner. That's an actual mathematical thing. If you're talking about so called Manhattan geometery (everything is right angles, on a grid - no diagonals), all direct paths are equally long. So, yes, there's actual mathematical proof that your right angle megaduct is the same amount of pieces as your diagonal one (or at least approximately - not sure the routes are 100% equivalent). Also, you're going to want more power storage - don't get rid of those paths, just build the power shafts differently or expand the tower so you can get the shafts in. When I was doing Folk Tails, I could occasionally run out of power or nearly run out with a bigger storage tower than that.
@@freezefyr he could build a real aqueduct and use vertical shafts. He would have filled the poocano with water by this time and also have unlimited electricity. He is an architect working as an engineer no wonder he had problems with architects
Just a quick note Your not making an aqueduct (mentioned by many others) Maybe you could use the bridge mod you had for a season and you used for the underwater village? Then it could be an actual aqueduct and may save a bunch of wood !!
I'm glad you said that. Sometimes when I'm reading the plans I think "how the hell are we supposed to do this and we question the project managers who email the client PM and hopefully they don't have to ask the engineer for a detailed scope of approved method of fire caulking roof and wall penentrations with the materials available on the spot. So yeah... we make it happen out here on the contracting side.
While windmills are great, water wheels substantially reduce how many you need during non-drought conditions; it's usually best to have a couple of water wheels for mostly-constant power and then just spam the windmills everywhere. Of course, this doesn't particularly matter here because he's building everything in the wrong order and has a constant power shortage..
@@SalamanderBSC That's only true when you don't have enough battery backup. At some point windmills and batteries produce constant power and waterwheels just become obsolete. This is of course true on maps where you actually have space to build enough batteries and windmills but that's still most of the maps.
Oh man i cant wait till you finish the Megaqueduct. Every season im like "Ok, so what Marvelous and Efficient/strong shaped Structure is Matt going to delight us?" And everytime shit is about to get real, the episode ends.
When you put down the power shafts you sont have to change the prioritys. If things needing to be built are at the same priority the beavers will build them in the order that you placed them down.
Matt, instead of sending your beavers down to build the badwater seal, u can build platforms above and build it, to prevent them from getting contaminated.
for next season with the experimental or update 6, i would love to see you play on the terraces map (or a similar third party idea). the verticality really suits the possibility of aqueducts and bridges and overhangs, and i think it would be a really interesting challenge to watch you struggle with.
Unfortunately Matt, there is no cure for Bee Stings, but you can minimalize the chances by making sure your Beavers aren't pathing through the area the Bees affect. Then, only your Farmers are getting stung, and only when planting or harvesting.
Maybe consider gravity batteries and windmills at the top of your megaquaduct? You can also create a spillway from the poocano and water wheel that off the map. Lastly you'll want to create a spillway from the water source for bad tides so you don't fill your poocano with more poo.
you will have to plan to let the good water springs that flow down to your main river to flow unhindered towards your og plank factory, since the megaqueduct is also a megadam, and you have natural dams in your main river that would cause flooding.
I don't know if someone already said this but buildings transfer power so you can use a mini lodge as vertical power shaft by stacking it. It takes up two spaces instead of one but better than stairs.
For the water wheels to work you also need to make the flow of the aqueduct really shallow. If you keep the aqueduct really deep the flow rate will be extremely low because the cross-sectional area of flow is extremely large.
Hey Matt, if i remember Correctly Buildings like Housess transfer the power aswell so you could just stack a lot of them on top of each other to get the power down faster and whit less powershafts. XP Hope it helps next time!
Also one important thing thats not layers view, building more housing, usually best thing is to have more beavers than you need and employ them in low priority builder huts and carrier thingygingies (forgot how they called, guys with backpacks) this solution provides 100% efficiency even when someone dies as they are being immediately replaced by builder or carrier(?)
I’m only 10:30 in and can’t help but think that the canal only has to be as tall as the water filling the volcano. So the levels could be added as needed rather than all at once. Lower the level on the outside of the volcano first while building the lower levels of the canal. Leaving an exit for the bad water… Channel the fresh water in the same way as the bad water is released. Create a wall to divide half of the canal with fresh water. That would save a large amount of water for droughts.
Matt, you can use the priority button to mass assign priorities, between the path and demolish buttons. Also, why not make the poo-cano outlet 2 space wide, with the flow rate you could easily make maximum HP. I definitely enjoy your Timberborners, Cheers!
RCE: Keeps needlessly sending beavers into poo water to build things under the ick. Beavers: Get contaminated and sick, lowering their life expectancy. Beavers: Start dying off of "Old Age" at a high rate. RCE: : O
Aqueduct need to be filled with levees to carry water. Other problem with that is it will also block river with it and flood some area on your village side
I'm struggling with the level of architecture in this season, first build the Megaqueduct with columns, overhangs and impermeable floors. second build the power shafts in a zigzag pattern down the stairway
Put a storage halfway along your dam for logs. Building time will decrease. Also if you make your poo escape chute wider itll be harder to build the dynamite so youll have to bridge over it!!!
The fact that Matt started this episode saying beavers can build infinitely down and didn’t build platforms over the water to build down for the cap on the poo
He learnt that after the stairs were built... 😆
So what?
He can still sabe a lot of beavers from himself.

for next season with the experimental or update 6, i would love to see you play on the terraces map (or a similar third party idea). the verticality really suits the possibility of aqueducts and bridges and overhangs, and i think it would be a really interesting challenge to watch you struggle with.
Unfortunately Matt, there is no cure for Bee Stings, but you can minimalize the chances by making sure your Beavers aren't pathing through the area the Bees affect.
Then, only your Farmers are getting stung, and only when planting or harvesting.
Maybe consider gravity batteries and windmills at the top of your megaquaduct?
You can also create a spillway from the poocano and water wheel that off the map.
Lastly you'll want to create a spillway from the water source for bad tides so you don't fill your poocano with more poo.
this series is one of the best out there
you will have to plan to let the good water springs that flow down to your main river to flow unhindered towards your og plank factory, since the megaqueduct is also a megadam, and you have natural dams in your main river that would cause flooding.
I don't know if someone already said this but buildings transfer power so you can use a mini lodge as vertical power shaft by stacking it. It takes up two spaces instead of one but better than stairs.
An aqueduct has the feature that you can walk under it.
You should build it with platforms and cover it with waterproof floor!
For the water wheels to work you also need to make the flow of the aqueduct really shallow. If you keep the aqueduct really deep the flow rate will be extremely low because the cross-sectional area of flow is extremely large.
"Bee stings?! Are those from the bees?!" is my new favorite Matt quote
In addition to what people are saying about the layers, your beavers will build things that are the same priority in the order that you placed them.
Hey Matt, if i remember Correctly Buildings like Housess transfer the power aswell so you could just stack a lot of them on top of each other to get the power down faster and whit less powershafts. XP
Hope it helps next time!
You could let the water flow down and pump it up-hill with a set of terraced dams with Mechanical Water Pumps
Also one important thing thats not layers view, building more housing, usually best thing is to have more beavers than you need and employ them in low priority builder huts and carrier thingygingies (forgot how they called, guys with backpacks) this solution provides 100% efficiency even when someone dies as they are being immediately replaced by builder or carrier(?)
I’m only 10:30 in and can’t help but think that the canal only has to be as tall as the water filling the volcano. So the levels could be added as needed rather than all at once.
Lower the level on the outside of the volcano first while building the lower levels of the canal. Leaving an exit for the bad water… Channel the fresh water in the same way as the bad water is released.
Create a wall to divide half of the canal with fresh water. That would save a large amount of water for droughts.
Whoa, that drawing plans thing is just an architect tho.
My cycle of playing timberborn, Sees matt released a new vid->loads up my save again->gets bored->again
20:15 straight RCT vibes
Matt, you can use the priority button to mass assign priorities, between the path and demolish buttons. Also, why not make the poo-cano outlet 2 space wide, with the flow rate you could easily make maximum HP.
I definitely enjoy your Timberborners, Cheers!
10:21 Contaminated beaver. All 20 seasons now on Hulu
Hi RCE i just learned that lodges connect power vertically, and they are cheap to build up, thats a little late for the skyscraper though.
I’m watching this on a Friday during my lunch break about to go back to work be the “lazy worker on a Friday afternoon”
Here I am at my desk at my job. On lunch, eating sushi and watching this. Thinking about how maybe I might punch out early and go home to have a beer.
RCE: Keeps needlessly sending beavers into poo water to build things under the ick.
Beavers: Get contaminated and sick, lowering their life expectancy.
Beavers: Start dying off of "Old Age" at a high rate.
RCE: : O
my favorite series is back with another episode !
Matt, think about it , you don't actually need the water wheels in the future because you have infinite power when the gravity batterys are hooked up
8:59 I love that clip of Charlie
You can view lower layers on a by clicking on the arrows under the work time adjustment thing
I love that he doesn't think with layers. I don't think I've seen him use the visible layer tool
Aqueduct need to be filled with levees to carry water. Other problem with that is it will also block river with it and flood some area on your village side
I love how mooseknuckle got an entire life story from matt
wait a min, can you conduct power downwards by stacking a lot of power conducting buildings on top of one another?
This TB series could be sub-titled "Matt does everything the hard way." think of the branding possibilities!
can't wait for the next episode where the stairs get demolished again
Finally got an herbalist. Hasnt made a tank to stockpile antidote.
you can stack housing building like a vertical shaft as they transfer power
I'm struggling with the level of architecture in this season, first build the Megaqueduct with columns, overhangs and impermeable floors. second build the power shafts in a zigzag pattern down the stairway
The least efficient Timberborn map I have ever seen!
Well done!
The only way to prevent bee stings is to replace your farmers with bots and make sure no paths cross the bee areas.
Hey Matt, you can dynamite out under the gravity batteries for more storagespace for power.
Bro actually called Mr. Beast out RESPECT you are a True engineer We will all follow you to the top of the UA-cam world
I feel called out watching this at work on a Friday afternoon
Put a storage halfway along your dam for logs. Building time will decrease. Also if you make your poo escape chute wider itll be harder to build the dynamite so youll have to bridge over it!!!
