Note: This is the guide for the Folktails faction, the Iron teeth faction guide will be updated soon.Timberborn is a building survival strategy game developed by Mechanistry. You will need to create new districts in this game to get various kinds of resources. Then you can use those resources to transport back it to the main city to construct new buildings.

Below you will find how to create a new district & distribute resources among them. Timberborn How To Create New DistrictĪ new district will be required to salvage scrap metals from the ruins.

You will also need to transport resources such as water to different districts because every district won’t be near a river. You can make a new district by creating a pathway from the main district and then place a “District Gate”. After that gate, you need to place a “District Center”.Īll the buildings mentioned above can be found under the paths and structure icon. If you try to construct a building far from your district you will get a warning as “This construction site is too far from builders! Build more paths or a new district”.

To transport resources between two districts you need to construct “Distribution Post” and “Drop Off Point” in both of your districts. You need to unlock these buildings using science. To generate science you need to construct an Inventor. Once you have constructed the distribution post and drop-off point in both the district, you need to select the distribution post of the district from where the resources will be loaded. Even during 2 week long droughts, the water flows continuously.Then under Routes, you need to click on add a new route and select the drop-off point of other districts. ^ This baby automatically fills and releases water with zero attention or jobs required.

Having extra pumps as well as dumps to artificially create current is a waste of jobs when you can do it entirely for free with a reservoir that maintains itself. If you place your waterpumps at the right place in the damn, their produced current will make the wheels go brr.Īnd if you pump the water downsteam and bring it upstream you got your power during droughts. I don't find the "staying near water" limitation for power generation to be that constraining anyway because tree and crop growth is already restricted to water either way, so it synergizes regardless. With the right sort of dam you can keep water flowing 100% of the time, even during droughts. These days I dynamite channel the river deeper, throw waterwheels down there in ludicrous numbers, narrow the river to 4 tiles wide, then cover it all up with platforms and build my industry on top of it. I experimented with wind power in my first couple of towns then abandoned it entirely. Please consider making it more reliable, give us a wind sock or something that we can determine the best place for wind power. I even thought that on top of a mountain it should be better, but it isnt that dynamic (yet, i hope) all 4 large windmills face the same way and give the same horse power even though they are spread out. I find it very annoying that wind power is so unreliable. Originally posted by T-Gunn:I realize this is early access.
