At this point you should be past crisis mode, congratulations. It was Sky Storme who evaluated the water wheels and he is not correct. The large water wheel produces more power than 4 small ones by about 30%. But in the end you only need so much power, unless you are building projects producing over 100K power. And producing planks is faster than growing trees. You can convert all your log supply into planks if you are not careful. This map has plenty of water so you don't need to keep storing more water. The challenge is to obtain more land you can grow your crops on, especially trees for building. Controlling population in Ironteeth is simple - one pod maintains about 20 beavers at higher well being. So you can use 4-5 pods and improve well being and get to about 80-100 beavers. To improve well being you will need to build things and you need land for that. Also you need to grow maple and other foods and you need land for that too.

Great work, Interesting game.

That music is a headache

Finally you are doing irrigation ponds. When you do one on the hill instead of dynamiting it down, the bad water problem goes away. Irrigation and contamination can't travel uphill but can downhill. So you get your hill irrigated and contamination stays below. Also you do not need to wrap the mine into container since it takes lots of resources. I would concentrate on getting bots at this point to work the mine. Your metal on the surface will not last long. Just leave irrigation ponds running all the time, instead of risking loosing your crops.

How buggy is martian express? Below and beyond is horrible

You did not need to dynamite a large hole. Water ponds irrigate down the hill but do not irrigate up the hill so digging a large hole does not really help. You can try this in developer mode. I also would not advise to pause the water dumps. The full hole takes about 4 water per day, same as 2 beavers. The empty 3x3x1 hole takes about 50 water to fill. This map has a lot of water so it is not a big deal. On a map with little water you will use up all your water refilling the hole every time. 3x3x1 hole irrigates in a radius or 14 tiles, by the way. I would move my colony to the edge of the map since there is much more land you can use. Good luck.

Sorry to say this, but your are repeating the same mistakes you made in the first part of this play. You are building over water which is resource intensive. You do not need to unlock dynamite to have irrigation, you can build a small 3x3 pond from 16 levies, and use stairs and fluid dump to have your irrigation. If you build this at the top of the hill it will irrigate all the land below. You should do this for wood growing as well as food growing. Also you can relocate your district center any place on the map by building a new one. It does not cost any resources. So you can move your colony closer to the edge of the map, say where metal is or when more land is available. It is much simpler to block off a crater and let it dry than build up platforms over water. As far as hard mode goes, this map is not that hard - there is a lot of water, it is just mixed with bad water. Once you figure out how to clean the water up, you can do whatever you like. Really hard maps are small maps with just few water sources, like diorama. No place to get water from so first bad tide will kill your colony if you are not prepared.

You need to do the same thing with water dump just use levies to make a pond. If you make a pond on the hill it will irrigate all land below. You need to plant more blueberries to have constant supply for breeding pods. Very important at this moment. Also make sure water pump is running as hydroponic things take a lot of water. 3x3 pond takes as much water per day as 1.5 beavers, or you can count it as 2 beavers.

At least you are learning from your mistakes. Your largest mistake is assuming that these lakes can sustain trees and food production. They can't. After several bad tides in a row the land will not be irrigated. You need to setup irrigation ponds with water dumps. I think 3 or 4 will easy sustain 100+ beaver colony with trees and food. Another mistake that you are expanding over the water which is very resource intensive. There is plenty of land on the edges of the map, just use stairs and occasional platform. This map is easier on hard mode than some other maps. You always have plenty of water, just need enough pumps.

love this video

You have less water exits than source blocks, I’m sure you will fix it in the future, but for anyone new in the future!

You need haulers (put a hauling post in) to move the water and other things around the map, and a tank near the pumps helps a lot too

Timberborn is a cool game. Thanks for showcasing it.

I learn a lot watching your playthrough. Thanks for uploading content.

I like your style.thanks for sharing.
