I tried EVERYTHING to prevent this in Timberborn... 

Sitting here watching as the beavers are taking the water and berries over to the baby factories, then RCE pointing out new babies were born and still hasn't realized why he's losing water and food! ROFL

12d drought we are struggling with a lack of water and food meanwaile: 3 breeding pods aktive ant steal water and food

Matt the reason you don't have food. .. make 2 farms next to eachother always. 1 to focus on planting and 1 on cutting. 1-2 ratio. Also make the dang farmland bigger! You have so much green unused land! And like everyone is saying TURN THE BREEDING PODS OFF ALREADY!

Pausing breeding pods needs to be the first thing you do in a situation like this. They suck up more resources than you realize.

“Can they not eat wood, or dirt or something”😆 15:10

Instead of rationing the water you could have made an endlessly long path for them to walk on like you did in the myths video.

All things considered, it could have went way worse. Also.. 18:02, that evil laughter xD

the architect we love the most

A good lesson for harsh droughts, the sooner you cull some beavers the more beavers that can survive the drought. the longer you wait the more that will die/maybe all die.

The incident will always happen RCE.

When people say, “we have made it through worse before” all I hear is the wind slapping against the gravestones of those who did not make it, those who did not survive to see the confetti fall from the sky Clint Smith 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Omfg, all that nail biting and he forgets to unpause the water :D :D :D

RCE forgot that the baby beaver pods take water and berries. Two valuable resources during a drought.

Make sure to have farmers prioritize harvesting during dry season to maximize food. They are planting Kohlrabi that will never sprout while there's some ready to harvest.

Map props to the editor for the clip at 8:27 - perfect selection, length, placement - a master at work.

Second drought, me thinking, yeah, you have around 80 water, so no stress in draging it out of the ground yet and drying out the crops. I usually build dedicated farming areas, and when i have dynamite i blow paths for the water to spread in, then in the center of the farm area or like spread out i make a deeper hole, one that stores water so the crops survive longer, then just put the pathways ontop of the aqueducts

have one of the farmhouses focused on harvesting and the other one one planting so you have more food stockpiled for the dry season

I think a big issue you have is trying to do whatever your final plan is right out the gate. With the number of blocks already built into the mega dam, pretty sure you could have made a reservoir plenty big to get you through these droughts at the bottom of the waterfall. You're building 6 blocks high doing nothing, think about the present first.

This was a good episode. lots happened. I'm impressed with what you were able to recover. this is a difficult map. food and water are the most important resources, always try to have a surplus of these.

I kept running into a food issue on this map on hard mode, I was down to ONE beaver (was 50) and one kit. I was manually moving it from water to food and berries for a few days until one grew up. When I got to 7 or so I didn't need to micomanage to that level.

15:17 Fun fact: In the book maker industry, it says that beavers eat the books afterwards

Can't wait for the incident 2.0 xD. Damn great episode though, hope your beavers survive so they can all pump their wood long and happy :)

What's the over/under line (in years) for Matt finding out that farmers default to prioritize planting?

Breeding pods…….. the breeding pods

super iper mega dam under costruction , but still no floodgates in the main river to rise them before a few hours before the drought to have more water stored 😅 Anyway the rationing strategy was good !

Protip: Food and water are important. Dont run out.

Someone answer this for me. Do the water and food needs go down the less the beavers work? Like could he reduce working hours to help stretch the food and water supply?

My favorite time of the week, RCE comes out with a new Timberborn video :D Just bought the game cuz of him and spent almost 10h playing yesterday.. thanks Matt

Timberborners yay my fav series!

"Soon we're gonna get to a point where there's more drought than wet season." I don't want to destroy your optimism RCE but... it already happened in cycle 3. 12 days drought and 7 days with water on hard is only an introduction. xD

RCE: Where’s all my food gone? Also RCE: Has dedicated a minimal area to growing food. You should really have put your large water storages in the dry area to make more room for crops. And invested in a hauling post to keep the water and crops moving. And probably put in a shaming wheel to act as a secondary power source for the industrial area.

Hi this is a great series I’ve watched the whole series and I laugh in every episode

I've been playing hard mode recently. I just had a 24 day long drought... Good luck trying to survive one of those on this map

you could try to dam up a bit more watet by building a levee+floodgate dam near where the water and badwater mixes. or just behind the dam that you use to get to the other side if you want to finish before the end of the season. that way you can rise the water level and make it last a few more days before running out.

You didn't pause the birthing pods that where using up your limited food and water

Early game, he could’ve made the fork that merged the bad water a little dam.

RCE is the architect of incidents.

I just started with this map on normal mode. I don't bother with hard mode anymore. Its hard for the first few seasons but then it becomes just as easy as the other modes. The fun part is designing your city scape anyway.

I don't know why that Beaver is named RCEissecretelyanarchitect. It's no secret.

RCE: where's all the food and water?!? Also RCE: we need more beavers.

RCE : I did EVERYTHING I could ! Me : Did you tried ENGINEERING ? Yep, thought so. Maybe it's time to think about diversifying food supply ? Sure, you'll need a fermenter and other building for some but it does produce more food with less space at the end of the day AND increase wellbeing as well. More wellbeing equal more productivity AND less "negative benefit(???)" in case of water shortage.

That manufacturing center is in a terrible place. Daming the river outflow with levees is the easiest way to create a reservoir. Then, work on flooding that bottom quarter by placing levees along the edge of the map, with 3-4 dams or floodgtes, and you have more than enough water for the midgame. Then, you work on the upstream dam and dynamiting the bottom reservoir for even more storage.

Its ok i just had an incident myself right before clicking this video where i accidentally dumped some bad water into my houseing district and now i have 138 unwell beavers.

I'm pumped to see next week's season finale! Going to be a big incident, no chance for survival after this bad tide! If the first one is somehow survived, the 2nd will definitely finish them all off.

Finally, an event-free episode where nothing untoward happens.

I am happy that there is going to be 1 or 2 more episodes of this season and that it didn't end today.❤

i had badwater sluice filters at the sources that stopped working with the update. Now if you build something like that youll need to have a shunt off map or to some other flow a tile or 2 from the source to give it time to dilute the badwater back to clean.

You should set one of the farms to prioritize harvesting instead of planting, that would help a lot with your constant food shortage.

Focusing on that mega dam that early was always gonna end like this. Shoulda been building walls along the route the water already takes to make it deeper. You can take the luxury of designing the route when you're not struggling to stay alive.

day 2 of asking RCE to place levee at the top left side of the waterfall in case of Badtide

get your forrester to plant mangroves in the water. a food source only requires storage and if you cock up and kill them you get 2 wood per mangrove!

I'm screaming that he is making his beavers survive on a diet of kohlrabis and berries well into the mid-game

I think in hard mode you need to build your dam in stages. Build complete layers and you'll be able to start filling it sooner. Just build the back layer one higher so the water comes out the front.

I can already imagine Matt shouting at the beavers building the megadam and blocked the river

I think this video demonstrates the underlying mechanic problems in the game regarding water/food. It only takes two "events" to effectively crash the population. Even on normal (max 7d), the droughts are longer than most of the food sources survivability, combined with "bad water" which will kill off everything it touches, it's pretty easy to hit an unwinnable situation. Metal Teeth are already harder since they don't breed automatically, so when there is zero food, there are also, zero babies. The game devs need to reconsider the RNG events to reflect the number of water sources. If there are more sources, then a drought should shut off at least one source, with a rarer chance of turning off all sources. Likewise for badwater (which I kind of hate because it turns freshwater into badwater sources) So instead of having two back-to-back drought-drought or badwater-badwater, you end up with like 50%drought-50%badwater-100% drought-50%drought-100%badwater. To that end I think food survivability needs to be reconsidered too. The Grill and Bakery do not produce enough food for the input materials. If a berry is 0.25 per day, but a baked good is 0.4 (sunflower) to 1.5 (Bread/Cracker) it is still more cost-efficient to just litter the map with as many berries as possible than to grow just about anything else because they rely on processing steps. Carrots basically all die off immediately when there is a drought unless you geo-engineer the map so they're always within 7 tiles of water. Honestly the game kinda needs another food that can be eaten immediately like having Apple Trees with a long surviability, where the apples can be eaten, since none of the trees currently count as food.

I love how beavers do literally nothing for like 4-6 hours, because there is nothing to do, but are dying from lack of food and water instead of working extra couple of hours, yes, Matt?

Can we Please get this intro on spotify and a remix of it ,its to good to not have one 🙏

matt never fails to mention the incident and make the incident

The best into music on the whole of utube

Matt's probably gonna want to start stockpiling food and water a lot more and definitely put in those inground barriers or everything's gonna be freaking condemnated.😂

INstead of building a mega dam you should focus on building massive food and water storage so you can survive droughts

Incident 3.0 To be fair at least RCE deleted the culling district halfway through. Genuinely not sure how he recovered from the incident this time though

Welcome to-o HA-ARD MODE! A mode where You have to prepare ... for drought or You will just di-sa-pear !!!! :D

👋 hey 👋 Matt 😊

"there are no accidents" sequel is going to be "there are no incidents"

Mate! A hundred water for this colony is like keeping a minibar sized bottle in your pocket as you walk into the Sahara. You know the math, use your head!

Until that dam is done I’d get more water storage and and more log pumpers. You need a lot of water fast.

Why is the video only 3 minutes long hmmm GASP THERE WAS A GIANT THING THAT IS NOT TO BE TALKED ABOUT 😮😮😮

I love how in the timber myth buster "will rce not have a incident every season is busted " 😂😂😂

You will need to block off the corner between the 2 sets of floodgates because bad water will spill there and pollute your good water

"Awww, people are dying." "Looks like meat's back on the menu, boys!"

RCE * has trouble on normal mode on medium/large maps Also RCE “I’m going to play the smallest/hardest map on hard mode

Will he remember that he can keep the water pumper on the hill active to still get water during the tide? Doubtful.

The wait for the intro was worth it😂😂

Next time, move some beavers to starve and dehydrated for as many days as you can, then move them back before they die. Everything will last a lot longer. Should have done that much earlier

You can swap out the dam to gates (with parallel platforms) and raise to .99 and store more water.

With all that science, I'd go ahead and get explosives to create canals with deep pockets to store extra water for fields.

Could've built canels hydrated the whole map, had farms and trees on every flat surface, NAH builds a usless tower and a ridiculous narrow dam for some reason

_Yeahhh,_ "it was going so well" except for the part where you didn't build nearly enough water storage.

HSE will be in contact

Tez is gonna be so mad you killed him because you forgot to pause the breeding pods

I tried this map on normal difficulty and all my beavers died of starvation because I wasn't prioritizing food fast enough.

Maybe, IDK, instead of expanding and developing upper tech levels straigt away, start stockpiling resources and building anti-Incident measures? Instead of factories and so on, build the water reservoirs, dams and food supply first Also, instead of building the Megadam at once, build it in layers, so it can store some water from the get-go, than a little more every new layer, because the ammount of levees that were placed down could have made two layers already by this episode's end, but those two walls he got are useless.

That clip of Delia Smith pissed off her head is the greatest thing ever seen at a football ground

Nine seasons and still hasn't worked to reduce travel time x3x you're killing me, smalls

🤣🤣🤣🤣I get the small frustration about the breeding pods but me 🤣🤣🤣as he panics.

The incident!!! Thoughts to those lost.

Remember you can use poo water as drinking water. So build a poo water reservoir and use that for drinking while using clean water for growing.also might want to maintain only a population of 10 in the beginning until you can get dynamite

The intro song started for me as a skip a year ago. Now it's must a sing-along.

Stumbling from "incident" to "incident". If only there was someone with a master plan, someone with wisdom to design, like an architect.

They should add the ability for the beavers to cannibalize the dead. Or the living.

"There are no incidents in Tim Ber Born." - Ju Dee, probably.

You can up the working hour to 18 without a lot of bad conséquences on the beavers 😊

Would it not be wise to make a reservoir on the lower level so that crops can still grow during a drought?

Can't you create a canal from the water source to the right side of the map to open the area up for farming?

most fav series ,keep it up matt

Matt maybe right before you go back into another drought with no water isn’t the best time to start a population boom

“Negative benefits” what an architect

you can flip building with f if you want the door/pump on a different side.

From my expirience beavers can safely survive like 2 days without water. After that I start panicking.
