I remember the first clever Timberborn idea saw a RUclipsr do was Katherine of Sky many many months ago. She's always built three of the little water tanks next to each other so that she could delete them later on to put the big tank I thought that was so smart.
I've seen a ton of little clever things over the months for this game, that's why this was so shocking to me! Nobody thought to let me know I could do this?!
Imagine how I feel! Here I am feeling all amazing about coming up with this awesome idea build and making a cool video about it thinking it'll be awesome forever and then BAM! Now people keep watching it and thinking "this guy, doesn't he even know it's been updated, what a fool".
@@vlogoftea is that fair? I'd argue being able to see the future would be way more fair - decision making would be so much easier. Like, is this 4 day old soup gonna make my stomach hurt if I eat it? I mean, I know the answer right now is yes, but if I knew that hours ago I might have second-guessed eating the soup.
I gotta admit, that design with the wooden and metal platform is awesome, functional and it looks great, I'm so glad that guy commented and explain in that way, you need to do that in the large tank, plus you could space them apart in the middle and still have that stairway going down to the lower levels
Yeah, I was serious when I said my mind was blown. There's a lot of "what does this mean now" going through m head. I gotta rebuild everything basically.
@@Diyel UGh, I dunno, the main tank is 9 wide so I would need to expand. Plus, the tanks would stick out of the water and not look great. I'm actually thinking of rebuilding the edge tanks.
Yeah moro my dude. My rule from few months ago was if you can't build on top of it it should go on top! So I look as every building like that as a "roof". I can't show you pictures of what I did in late game because I don't play the game anymore but you can imagine that there would be bushes and roofs on top of the walkways and stuff like that xD
For building the statue hidden in the middle nothing extra is needed (as it can be built from below). If you want to raise it higher, you'd need some scaffolding first.
The best thing is, in conjunction with your big brain underwater water tanks, you can fill those narrow canals with water after filling that tanks itself. It is sooooo efficient and I'm loving every bit of it sooooo muuuch! Your efficient water storage system and Firephy's successful unlimited hydroelectric power via his perpetual motion machine (waterwheels running endlessly even on droughts) are the best ones I've seen on the Timberborn gameplays, aside from the dam builds from other Timberborners ofc. I really wanna buy the game myself, but I'm waiting for further updates and mods, like when a third faction will come, there are more varieties of trees, food crops and buildings and decorations, as well as mods and maps to further make it more interesting.
You should just get the game honestly. In my experience, its just as fun when new things get added when you've already been playing as when you're not. It's gonna be a while before they make big moves like a new faction I think.
@@Diyel Depends on the update. Usually devs will try to make old saves work well but there can be some hiccups sometimes. The last series I had to run the older version to finish it out because the experimental had gone live.
Now fill The lower section with water flooding it with a pump on the side so as you pump out the water during a droughthe lower level with be come available again
In my series I actually figured out how to put large warehouses so long as the grid is big enough, but yeah, small warehouses will fit just fine, you just gotta raise the whole construction by one level.
@@marcusdire8057 that's exactly how I've felt! Everyone is always saying when am I gonna drop some metal plats in my series but I just never feel like there's a point! But now, oh boy.
Now with update 3 being out, the dimensions of the water tanks all changed. I guess you can do the same with the 2×2 tanks by just adding a platform with the corner, but that seems a bit wasteful. Can we do better here (or for the 3×3 tanks)?
The most space saving use of a platform is to have factories below stacked ontop of storage boxes, then ontop you can have water tanks. You can do wood plantation underneath with stuff ontop. If all you care about is water, 4 x 300 litre tanks and then 1 x 1200 litre ontop of the platform is the most space efficient use, you are technically getting 2400 litres in space of 3x3, only downside is you cannot stack this design, I suppose you can stack it twice but you are gonna have trouble trying to fill all of this unless you use bots on both water pumps and the distribution network which makes the most sense as beavers only work certain parts of the day. All in all, you can probably build a 4800 litre storage section in space of 3x5 with stairs included which in itself is quite impressive feat of compactness.
Platforms a good. amazingly good. But player can build them VERY late. They insanely expancive. Platforms main desigion => increase opportunity for vertical construction.but cuz they can be used too late,players already build ful base with out them. For good usage player must DELETE full base and rebuild it again.Platforms too expansive to use.
I think the main issue is that we don't get materials back when deleting items. It's less so the cost of metal I think, and more that early on you don't want to "waste" 500 metal on something that might not be permanent. If we could get even just half the materials back then it would be a different story.
@@m0ro i disagree with you. I think player must have hard punishment for bad desigions.If devs put function of "dismantling"... game difficulty becomes a joke. But the cost is extremely expensive.even a player like you released a video of water storage. Why didn't you think of it yourself? Because you couldn't spend so many resources in all your games for the sake of experimentation. This faction all about vertical building and short plasment. Main reason for platforms => easy building inside a dam.Or building over roofed buildings. But who needs platforms? if most of the players are already building up most of the map by the time when 500 metal ingots are collected. And most often players already want to finish the game.In my opinion devs must decrease cost to 75 and 100. if cost be this numbers... players REALY start accumulate ingots and try to build vertically. Yes, it is still expensive and long in the early stages of the game.But this will just save space. Just like beehives and large warehouses do.I really hoped to find a simple mod that reduces the cost. But there is none. Very sad.But i glad ExtendedArchitecture exist. not so efficient but handy to have some thing.

@@m0ro so, are you gonna use this wth your main reservoir build?

I know it's a waste, but build a platform so the beaver statue sticks out above the tanks. Nice design and great use of space.
That's actually not a bad idea, the statue was mostly an afterthought but it wouldn't hurt to raise that sucker up.
For building the statue hidden in the middle nothing extra is needed (as it can be built from below). If you want to raise it higher, you'd need some scaffolding first.
Could you make this video again in update 3 with the new water tanks?
Awesome video! Well done.
Dude..... You're excitement is quite intoxicating... I am enjoying Timber born again thankyou
Thanks! I'm very much a "love loving things" kind of person. It is a gift and a cruse sometimes hahaha.
Thank you this will really help me ❤️
I m very excited to see this improvement in big water tank ...😍
Not sure the big tank is getting it but other parts are!
Love the editing...
Looks nice!
Coming soon! To a depressing episode of our timberborn series where we. Rebuild. Every. Thing.

@@m0ro but can the updates carry over your current build?

That's just a map I made for the guide video but that's basically what I did in my series! Great minds, lol.
Bro that's nuts
I like that a lot. I have also built a system for the water tanks, I can send the module to and you may modify it and make it better
I'd love to see it! Throw it up in the discord.
Thank you for the moro system
The moro system provides. 👍
The simmetry!!! Thanks, I can sleep better now!
I got at least 3 extra hours of sleep the night of the video. 🤣
Good to know, that it´s not only Minecraft RUclipsrs who accidently build the "funny-symbol-from-the-30s" xD
Wrong way round bruv
3:50 My brain is in love with this hahaha.
If I had to pick an organ to be in that sentence, I am perfectly good with brain.
SMART! I am totally stealing this design!
You can't steal that which I give freely.💕
Game changer!
Right?! I'm scared what it means for my colony.
Do you have enough room under the platform to put a layer of small storage buildings under the water tanks?
In my series I actually figured out how to put large warehouses so long as the grid is big enough, but yeah, small warehouses will fit just fine, you just gotta raise the whole construction by one level.
Lol felt like I was watching an episode of Rick Sanchez doing a tutorial
How do you make dirt stairs?
Can you put another platform on top and get THREE levels!?! :D
If it's possible, then he can make the second level consisting up water pumps so he can make it more efficient!
Platforms are ground only, so unfortunately no stacking.
@@m0ro Ah. I've never used platforms as they annoyed me as well, so didn't know that. :) But now they have a use!! :D
@@marcusdire8057 that's exactly how I've felt! Everyone is always saying when am I gonna drop some metal plats in my series but I just never feel like there's a point! But now, oh boy.
@@m0ro Are there any other structures that would benefit from this idea?
Late comment, but did you ever show the big platform layout? The one you talk about so much in this video ;)
how many beavers do you have that needs that much water :)
Now with update 3 being out, the dimensions of the water tanks all changed. I guess you can do the same with the 2×2 tanks by just adding a platform with the corner, but that seems a bit wasteful. Can we do better here (or for the 3×3 tanks)?

All in all, you can probably build a 4800 litre storage section in space of 3x5 with stairs included which in itself is quite impressive feat of compactness.
The first system you only need to put the back row on platforms, front row on the ground 💁♂️
Now imagine you have a beautiful, 9 wide channel enclosed by buildings, wouldn't that suck man when you see this.🤣
😭😭😭😭😭😭
You can even scale it up, just add big platform instead of statue, and use same design
You can't 😭. The platforms are ground only so you can't stack em on anything.
@@m0ro too bad I don't know about that, thanks.
Bellow platform is space for crops/forests.
I knew moro saw our comments on the last video
Replying isnt proof enough?!🤣
noice
Well I have built such system before
...and instead wasting space with platforms, you can put storage underneath 🤯
Are you related to the famous "Real Civil Engineer"?
Was it the accents that gave it away? 🤣🤣
There's no relation lol.
Love from India 🇮🇳🚩🙏🏻❤💐👍🏻👌🏻😊😍
Your idea has a fundamental problem: the platforms before the stairs actually cut the stairs off from the path...
errmm... does this mean you are rearranging the tank water tank system??? Does the beaver union support this? haha🤣😐🤨🤪
Ughhh, I don't even want to think what this means. I basically might have to rebuild EVERYTHING.😭
