Timberborn

Timberborn is a city-planning simulator about a colony of beavers, where humanity has long disappeared, but the world remains the same. Rodents behave like humans: they build, work, rest and breed. The game does not pretend to be real, but the mechanics are thoroughly thought out. The settlement is divided by height: the lower levels are near the water, the upper levels are on platforms and embankments. The settlement grows around water, and the entire economy rests on it. Beavers block riverbeds with dams, install wheels and pumps, extract wood and turn it into building materials. The more complex the design, the more resources it requires. Beavers can climb onto buildings and fall if the ladders are poorly placed. Some buildings require rare materials that are mined far from home. The main threat is drought: rivers become shallow, crops perish, and reserves melt. Therefore, reservoirs, reservoirs and warehouses are designed in advance, and poor planning leads to disaster. Seasons and disasters change tactics on the fly. Supplies are stored in barns, and spoiled food leads to illness and loss of workers. Different beaver communities have different personalities and provide their own bonuses, which encourages you to replay. Updates added mechanisms, buildings and ways to control water. There are also seasonal events: drought gives way to floods, and dams have to be rebuilt. Anyone who likes to build and count reserves will find this dam suitable. Modifications add buildings and animals, and updates add new factions of rodents.
