If you dam it up on both ends, the water wheel will stop running and you’ll probably experience a flood, too. For instance, you might want to do this for the carousel and other objects that increase well-being.īear in mind that the water wheel will generate power as long as the river keeps flowing. You’ll then need to attach power shafts from one of its sides all the way to any structure that needs power. Available by default, water wheels are placed on the river. You’re going to need water wheels for this (seen in the Power tab). Screenshots by Gamepur Keeping the rivers flowing for water wheelsĪnother factor that you’ll want to remember in Timberborn is how you can use waterways as a source of power. But, at a height of three (its maximum), the slats are fully closed. At a height of two, the slats are still open. You can see two examples in the images below showing the Triple Floodgate. Depending on the floodgate’s size, you can control the height (i.e., when water is allowed to flow through). Compared to dams and levees that have a default height per block, while also allowing you to build an object on top of them, floodgates have a control mechanism. There are three kinds with the triple floodgate being the tallest structure. Dams and levees are cost-efficient in this regard. In any case, our main goal here is simple: create an enclosed body of water that won’t be affected by droughts. Beware, though, because these structures can also cause flooding if you’re not careful. But, a levee will completely enclose that section. The river will still continue to rush in even when there’s a dam. You can see this mechanic in the image above. Compared to a dam, levees will completely block water from coming in.
While dams block off the flow of water, there’s a bit of overspilling that occurs. These include levees, floodgates, and more.
Later, though, you can spend science to unlock new structures. At the start of your Timberborn run, only dams are available. Next, take a look at the Landscaping tab. In most cases, your map seed will mean that you’re further down in the lowlands. With this in mind, you can take note of where your first village is located. You can see this ever so slightly by looking at tile elevations on the map. The first thing you’ll need to learn about Timberborn is that, much like in real life, water will flow from higher ground to lower ground.

Timberborn guide: How to use dams, waterways, and dynamite Here’s our guide to help you use dams, waterways, and dynamite in Timberborn. Of course, it’s also possible to divert water or use hydroelectric energy to power up your own structures. Specifically, you’ll have to ensure that the rivers continue to flow smoothly, irrigating nearby lands to make them arable. Your community of beavers in Timberborn will need to make use of natural resources.
