Builds warehouse for food, forgets to connect the roads making it useless. Classic Sky.
that triggered me
And not useing his dams just leaving them open to drain the water
Letting the crops to die and not blaming the water.. trapped beaver
2 trapped beavers starving to death, looking at them several times and doesn’t see them. So sad those beavers.
He fixes it around the 18 min mark 😊
Gee... I sure am glad that YT decided that this video needs "Context" from the UN on climate change -- 🎶 "The more you know" 🎵

It's always interesting how stoically KZheadrs ignore when games are warning them about their mistakes, then act all surprised by the consequences xD
Please check your warning signals occasionally. You got several buildings which were unconnected for quite a while, the forester got no planks (because the lumber mill got no power). And then at some point you got beavers stranded under the stairs. Some more suggestions: → spread out the water tanks in your colony (e.g. near working places or houses), so the thirsty beavers don't have to walk that far and can continue with what they were doing earlier. (Same with food stocks, and resources needed for your industry and building.) →You could also put your water pumps directly to the reservoir, instead of letting the water out. But I guess the effect is similar at the end. → Your farming space needs to be more than what you have here to sustain 30 beavers.
Pretty much everything that frustrated me enough to comment! 😊
15 minutes later, screaming at the television "oh my god connect a road to the lumberjack!!! Read the warnings!!!!" Lol
41:06 "We're up to 13 beavers now." In other words a standard night for Charles Vane at the local tavern.
The fact you get away after building that huge reservoir while crisis is amazing
Omg the paths not going to the lumberjack and storage was driving me crazy.
30:00 "Look at all these thirsty beavers" I lost it, lol
A beaver stuffing good time.
LOL :)
Glad to see you back! Love watching you play this game. Would also love to see a new Tavern Master series and Surviving the Aftermath series!
Moral of the episode folks, keep your beaver hydrated and constantly stuffed with carrots...
Tip: If you put the workforce priority of haulers building on low or lowest, the other buildings are filled automaticly without having to micromanage. Also you can put the haulers building on 10 workforce. Just have to remember that in this case the first 10 jobs unfilled are the haulers, not the primaries. ;-)
So glad to see you back. Was beginning to think this break might have been permanent, thankfully it wasnt.
Good to see you Vespere :)
@Skye Storme as long as your posting content I'll be around.
I think you needed more storage tanks. I worked on getting the big ones made (think we needed cogs for them) and I had a bunch of smaller ones for emergencies. In my most recent drought, one of my reservoirs started to dry up, so I just open the floodgates further up stream and let more water in. The Plains are probably way easier though.
I did something similar on this map, but I lined the entire length of the river on the top level with levees as far as the first dam to match the level of the rear bank of the river so the entire thing ended up as a 2 deep water source. Even extended out a bit at the water fall end to create a water farm area
The next QoL improvement from the devs should be if you mark for trees/food to be built it marks everything else for destruction.
Oh yes.
"Some of you may die, but it is a sacrifice I'm willing to make."
Hi, nice to see you back again :)
Hi Rachel! ... and grats on first! ;)
Great start of the series can't wait for the next episode.
I've waited for this FOUR THOUSAND YEARS!
I was screaming for the life of the stranded beaver hahaha
I'm happy you're back Skye! Loving your hard mode content :)
Hey missed you! This is a great game to start back in on!
More to come!
I see your having fun with the editing now! I do appreciate the zooming in on things, as with compression and different screen sizes, it can be hard to see some of the UI. Though you may want to tame it down a touch as I’m sure it will become quite irritating for some people. But I really do like it thanks! Keep up the good work skye
27" screen, yeah it's annoying. XD
Yes, it's annoying.
32" screen and no its not annoying
You had me laughing the whole episode love this game keep up the great work
Love your vids Skye. One of few KZheadrs where it really doesn't matter to me what you make content on, I will watch it! I know you've been away for a while and I really hope you're doing OK! :)
3:44, bad move, always leave a few trees unmarked until you unlock and build a forester, just gives you some leeway on the log front until then, even then I usually have the forester plant and grow the maple trees prior to finally cleaning house of the crappy trees
Welcome back Skye! Excellent video!. I was planning on checking out KoS's videos of this game for the longest time but never got around to it. Considering I'm Canadian, it really should be no-brainer that I'd love this game. You still have that magic of convincing me to try another game out. Thanks for that!.........oh one last thing...... you ever gonna finish building London in Cities???? ;)
Welcome back sky really miss your videos hope you and picture are doing well
What a tumultuous start!
37:49, you've got them prioritising planting here, should always set to harvesting, they'll plant after
Hell yeah. more of this please.
Super great to have you back, Skye! Looking forward to more content! My 2 cents on the editing in this episode is it's a little distracting, but I always appreciate good editing and applaud you for trying something new!
After watching some more, I think it's the zooming that's distracting. You do a great job pointing things out with the cursor, so much so that for a while I thought it was just zooming on where you clicked. If you want to highlight, maybe just the red circles without zoom? I _love_ the smooth transition in and out of time lapses!
Happy to see some new videos, Skye!!
So i found on this map instead of marking all the trees at top you can make a grid so you dont need a forester for replanting trees will spread automatically.
MAIS... MAIS ! LA CUVE ! LA PAROLE DU BOB LENNON QUI S'ETEND ! LA CUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUVE ! translation: BUT... BUT ! THE RESERVOIR ! THE WAY OF BOB LENNON (french youtuber) IS SPREADING ! THE RESERVOOOOOOOIIIIIIIIR !
Love this game
Au mon dieu c'est.... c'est LA CUUUVE !!!
La CUUUUVVE !
@@pangopod2969 Loué soit la CUVE !
I love to see you back with good vids! Missed you!
Great video, thanks man. Just started the game!
I can't say how happy I am to see you back at it Skye... oh wait, I guess I can. I'm happy. cheers
'Look at all these thirsty beavers' Mood
Just started watching this. It's so reminiscent of Banished.
Man, it's been a few years since I watched you. Feels great to be back!
It’s like watching someone take the first step of a 1000 mile journey
The Skye man is back, and working those beavers! Huzzah
La sainte CUVE !!!!!
Louée soit elle !
Nice to ear you again! 😁 always good to see you play
also, in early game, when you no longer have trees to harvest...take away two of the three tree cutters instead of the science position. science is really important, and the tree cutters didn't have trees to cut down anyways.
I've been waiting for you to do a new season on this from you glad the beavers didn't all die
yay !! more !!
Skye's first episode is a full 10 episodes for most, lol
Glad to see you back! :D
What are the odds that I just started this map on hard mode for the first time this morning?! I built things in the same areas and even had the same hunger die-off after the population grew and the farm had nothing ready. Only real diff was I flooded that hole down by the lower tree farm instead of building hoover dam 😂. Great video!
OH seeing those beavers dying of starvation was so hard to watch 😣
With the farmhouses, I think it'd be slightly more efficient to set one of them to prioritize harvesting instead of having both prioritize planting. With two farmhouses, one set to plant and the other set to harvest, it should keep a steadier flow of crops. Another thing I've seen some people do is a sort of irrigation trick. You put four levees in a cross-shaped configuration, leaving the center open (making it kinda resemble the d-pad on a controller), then place a water dump on top, so it pours into the middle tile. That tile, blocked from flowing anywhere, then irrigates the land around it, allowing for more crops, berries, trees, or even just green grass instead of lifeless brown dirt. But it's good to see your unique brand of crazy back.
Yeah, I like doing that too I also like to put them on platforms over the water to maximise the growing space. :)
Yoo my man welcome back!!
omg, you're back! great to see you again, I missed your videos ❤
the last 90 s are pure gold ;)
I know its edited, but man, the drought pic in the thumbnail looks great. Wish we could mod it to look that wasteland-y.
The beavers in their natural habitat!
IM SO HAPPY, YOURE BACK WITH THE BEAVERS YESSSSSSSSSS
Wet fur 😂 10:36
new editing! very nice👍
you should have gone as close as possible to a perfect square, this is the best volume/cost ratio
Welcome to timberporn!
Welcome back!!
Food problem was because you set the farm to prioritise planting over harvesting, which halves their efficiency as the will replant the crop before harvesting the next one.
Welcome back!!!
Ah I'm seeing your video after like years and it feels really good btw I started watching you from transport fever I remember the good old days
Holy crap, we have some Skye content, yay!
YeaY the beavers are back!!!!!!!
Skye is back and there was much rejoicing.
Glad to see you back Skye. Always miss your content when you’re not posting.
Thanks Kevin! And there was much rejoicing! :)
From the thumbnail I thought it was a Minecraft mod or something... I pleasantly surprise to see that it wasn't and that this game is great, time to binge watch this series.
Beaver plants bush.
so in hard mode, one thing you may wish to consider for future is UNSELECTING a few trees in an area so they can spread naturally. If not, it is (technically) possible to deplete a map of REACHABLE wood resources and without such, you cannot build stairs and the game is over.
La CUVE !!!!
La CUVE !!!!!
Great video, love your content sky. Would you ever consider re-visiting old games like oxygen not included or banished?
Sky, Can you build a Water Collector on top of the Res? So if the river dries they can still get it from the Res..
The unconnnected buildings makes me crazy...
I was wondering what happen... No videos, no news... Glad to see you back
The man's back
rip to the hungry guys
Welcome back mate, it hasnt been the same without you.
Oui mais LA CUUUVE
La sacro-sainte CUVE !
I need this man to read me a book rn
Dungeon Keeper lighting sound intro
Woooowwww, that was close to not having a EP2 hahahaha
Have watched up to episode 4 so far and I really enjoyed it. It's fun watching Timberborn when the player really have big plans, keeping the audience entertained and wondering what's next. Good work!
Welcome back once again Skye, didn't realise an update had come along, but will certainly check it out myself once I'm home. Look forward to some hard wood and wet beaver adventures! Should be a good series. Ps, love the new edits, just don't over do it :) Pps, no good dam gets built without sacrifice, the trapped beaver was a sacrifice! Lol
You don't have to build a reservoir like that as it will take up to much land space which could be used for farming or trees. instead I recommend just increasing the river height. the one layer of water will last about a 15 day drought, two high water will last like 30 ect. ect. meaning a 4 high river should last you 60 days. you can either build the river upwards with levees or downwards with TNT whichever is easier I suppose, but this map is actually really easy to survive in on hard mode, it is just a bit difficult to thrive in and expansion can grind to a crawl due to limited space for trees.
anyone has to think about Homer Simpson his WOHOO! :D
Anyone also has the feeling you are watching Dora the explorer? Screaming against the screen: Skye, you forgot to connect the warehouse!😂
Louée soit la CUVE !
LA CUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUVE !
omg that was chaotic to watch... lmao. i was screaming at my screen way too many times but it made for great content to see a normal person play some timberborn and make the same mistakes we make from time to time. but omg it was killing me to see him pumping during the drought. 0-0
Welcome back Skye.
THE SHAME WHEEL
Hard mode is hard. In my latest have my beavers died down from 60+ to 5 adults while I was making my giant reservoir. Then again died down to 20 after the population had rebounded. Water storage and water dumps are essential to staying alive in hard mode. Water evaporates from the reservoir, not from storage tanks.
