Engineering a power-generating MEGA DAM!!!

welcome back to timber bonners yes we're doing a full circle a few times because i'm just holding the e button do you remember the beavers from an earlier episode they did a rooftop gig and everyone loved it well now on my patreon page there's limited edition merch and one is this incredible t-shirt it's the abbey road design but i call it timber road because we're ripping off the timber borners as the beatles because they're called the beavers but let's get back into the timber borners oh man that was that was a long entry that was a long entry if you're still around if you haven't clicked off the video yet well done you passed the first test all right so we ended last time with a very nice amount of beavers now i think we just survived the dry season i know we're trying to get back on track so i think first things first we gotta we gotta unpause these breeding pods can you see in there there's like baby beavers ready to be born yeah so if we turn probably just four of these back on we should start to increase our population because obviously we're going to have some beavers die which means we won't have a nice amount of beavers but then we should have somebody born so we can have a nice number again meanwhile i want to check all of our water pumps have beavers in yes they do i am gonna quickly though add a few more so i've just cut some holes out of our spatter dock there i think that should allow us to build deep water pumps like that yes it does so i'm banging through in there we're going all out i don't want i don't want the dry season to screw me over anymore no more drought in beaverville all right sorted let's get these high up the priority list so only take logs they take 12 logs each we currently have over a thousand logs so you gotta spend some oh they're meanwhile up here look they're already starting to build this area so this is our sort of mega dam new industrial area we're going to have loads and loads of gear workshops we're going to have adjustable floodgates after that as well so we can raise and lower the water but you can see at the moment i've had to do the normal dams now that's just so they can get across to actually build this and actually i think they can't build this one in the middle so that triple platform that the wheel is sitting on yeah can you see that this construction site is too far from builders so i think annoyingly we're gonna need temporary platforms over to it so just grab a triple platform and we'll shove one there and we'll shove one down there with a path on top and then they can go and build that i could actually replace those two with adjustable floodgates yeah i don't think they need to get to the end so i will delete that and we need to unlock the triple floodgates that's 500 sites thankfully we've got 10 000 so yes we will unlock that thank you and we'll plonk that there obviously if you look at these you've got like a little lid on top so they can't walk past them hence we have to build this so we can walk along it so then we can build them and i'm just gonna have to go back deleting these rows replacing them with these because that will allow us to store some water here which means in the dry season we'll be able to let water through to prevent the carnage we just had previously meanwhile someone points out to me i'm a bit of an idiot in terms of my water wheel test last time not my proudest moment but i am going to attempt to do a fairer test first off we're going to plonk a water wheel in the middle there i mean i probably shouldn't be doing this until we have everything sorted and to our beavers aren't at risk of dying uh but it is what it is so we'll let them build that i also want to prioritize i just noticed all these spatter docks they're currently harvesting they're not planting anymore so i'm gonna change the priority to planting just so things have time to grow because we want like a constant supply of spada dock don't want them to just pick them all and then start planting so we've got a long period of time where there's no food coming in and aside from that experiment our other thing we're going to be trying to do is get the explosives built so up here in our industrial area we're producing everything we need i think to build explosives although there's no one in the explosives factory so that ain't gonna work let's pause one of these paper mills no actually i'm going to pause this smelter so mr curie you're paused you're sacked you're fired and now you are our explosives expert you're hired so he's going to be turning three paper into one dynamite and once we have a lot of dynamite we can do everything we want to do so first off i think up here is going to be pretty critical so if we zoom out this is where the water comes from it comes down this waterfall and then heads along that way and then through our town i want to expand over to this side so we're going to try and divert the water down this canyon that already exists all we've got to do is dig up a few of these trees and then lay some dynamite there i think we got most things ready we got the lumberjack flag that just needs to be built we've got steps up and everything i'll tell you what to make it a bit easier i will add an industrial log pile there so that means all the trees are chopping down they can just put them straight over there i'm also gonna mark the trees to be cut down so i've selected them all and i'm gonna use the assign priorities tool and if we do very high on these ones and apparently we'll find out that's not actually a thing you can't prioritize which trees you want to be cut okay in which case we're gonna unmark all the trees except for these upper level ones because that's where we want the dynamite to go next up in this actual area which we called non-shameful last time because it's definitely not where sheamus go i'm actually gonna name that to happyville that was a nice suggestion in the comments last time hopefully that will attract some beavers uh but really we just need to migrate some population and i'm not sure we have enough beavers on this side i feel like everyone's doing sort of important jobs there's still a lot to get built we got all of these to be built this is our crazy log pile storage area we've got this industrial area up here which oh look we've already started doing the dam nice work guys yeah i guess i guess who's in there running his little legs off it's yonri going absolutely mental oh i love fast speed all right so what i'm gonna do i'm gonna pause these guys chris your paws from the gear workshop as well i might also pause the hauling post and we've still got no unemployed beavers dammit what other jobs can i pause i really want to send some people over to happyville i guess the most efficient building we have should probably get closed essen get out the wheel son texas rancor you're out of there and jaunty your gear building days are over so they're off we finally have three unemployed beavers so we are going to migrate three adults from beaverville to happyville so migrate and then i'm gonna try and get them to be a little bit self-sufficient so we're gonna unpause the berry flag and we're gonna make them build their own deep water pump about there and then as long as we connect that path this side of the district gate that belongs to happyville gonna pause the scavenger flags and pause the farmhouse so we've got two people building and then up here we should have this lumberjack flag being built yes nice he's collecting food we do need to send over the dynamite so i will have to unpause the distribution post and i'll probably just put one person in it i'll bin off all of that say add new routes like the drop-off point which is over in happyville and we want to say send explosives and next we do actually need to find someone to do that job so who am i gonna pause oh there we go architect with the mit engineering degree you have pulled the short straw so you're 76 years old and i'm making you carry explosives to be fair you've lived your life so you can probably afford to take risks with your day job yeah as he never quite committed to engineering he was still an architect he will be carrying those explosives over cool oh god we've got a bit of a problem the happyville folk jonty woodbridge and co they are thirsty uh do you not have water over this side no that's right everyone came to drink your water oh god okay at the risk of losing jaunty i might have to try and send them back oh they're all thirsty fine we'll send them all back my great population three migrate okay i've sent them back so they should go and drink just from these pumps if they're clever who's that no essen you're going the wrong way mate you could have literally just drunk from that one all right he's drunk from there so all the beavers are replenished they are no longer parched so we're gonna send them back again and then we're gonna prioritize the water pump i think have they got enough logs yeah they got 31 logs that's all fine that's all good and we'll prioritize this lumberjack flag next and then they do the log pile and then we won't need builders on this side anymore all right so meanwhile how they getting on over here the first mega dam of the game is finally being built so yeah they're nearly halfway there i will just look at that shape look at that shape that is a very strong formation i'm tempted just to get rid of the dams completely it's definitely going to work better in that shape right anyway anyway distracted way too distracted matt uh can i just say as well check out check out the food check out the water oh god no check out the food that's the number that follows me one two three four but yeah as i was saying over a thousand food over a thousand water i think i've redeemed myself and i've made it so we should survive dry seasons now hopefully surely maybe all right happyville this deep water pump is now completed so i'm gonna pause one of the builders we'll drop that down to one so one of you you're gonna jump out and you're gonna go pump your log who is it gonna be we're in the deep water pump who's gonna be the log pumper no one apparently what what's happened there oh this is what happened look we built the lumberjack flag actually he's clearing that really quickly really quickly fair plate uh although it's far more important that we pump water we need you to pump logs not cut logs so i have paused him so if we wait over here there you go he's gone in texas ranco he's in there pumping away you can just you can see the work he's putting into pumping his own log he's fully committed to working that piece of wood i i am very proud very very proud of my beavers and it means this side we're sort of we're a bit more selfish now we're making water we're making food but it could be worth doing actually i might build a little water storage if we shove like two of those there we're not in too much of a rush to build them because the water pump does store a little bit of water on its own it stores 15. yeah i will make sure they're building that pretty soon oh look actually beavers from the other side hauling the big one they're all coming over from oh they're working together see just change the name from beaverville to happyville means everyone is working in harmony there may be two different named areas but we're all one beaver colony i'll tell you what as we have so many resources i am gonna turn on a few more breeding pods and buy a few more i mean all the ones that i've got because well because our water is actually really full look at these tanks i've never seen them full of water that one's literally full it's got the full sign above it one over here is full as well oh dear oh dear we have too much water so did i build what did i build here oh that's another that's another water pump blimey okay we might actually be able to reduce a water pump or two just temporarily so i might pause you two guys then we got two more unemployed beavers and i'm really sorry you're gonna get migrated so off to happyville you both great oh look our pyramid of storage is completed nice oh it's nearly at capacity already it holds a thousand and it's already full i assume it's just full of food 200 berries 70 carrots yeah oh man 270 grilled spider duck alright what's the opposite of a famine and a drought whatever it is we have both of those simultaneously so as these farmers are sat on their ass it might be worth pausing two of those obviously we can't pick enough carrots to keep up i think we'll get the smelter back underway jack jackie tacky's gone in there and i think we'll migrate some more people so we got one unemployed so you're going over and on this side we've we've now got three unemployed beavers that will not do so i'm gonna unpause the farmhouse so grant an eight-bit astronaut i've gone in there and there will be farming carrots over here so that's another bit of food to help keep these guys self-sufficient whether we need another water pump not entirely sure at the moment but we will now unpause this lumberjack flag so chris oh bro has gone up there you see he's now chopping some of these trees down which means we can start placing dynamite so if we come into landscaping and go to the end we've got dynamite so the question is how wide do we want this so down here you can see the river's four wide so ideally our channel wants to be four wide that's quite a lot of dynamite actually it might also be worth losing some berries here i think i'm gonna want to dynamite through those three bushes well four if you include this baby one so mark resources for demolition those four you gotta go ah nice look down here they've already planted all of this farm area that's pretty good meanwhile we've had some deaths we've also had some people grow up so montana williams died of old age but tom h magic has grown up engineer dan and grant the millwright both died but fake civil engineer has fake civil engine it what is this all right don't tell me we're gonna have to build another shaneville i don't know but i do notice another morning look at all of our beavers rushing out of there it's a sight i will never get bored of you're up here you can see lots is happening that we built the first dynamite loads of trees been cut down so i'm going to add a few more bits of dynamite about one there one there and once he finishes cutting that tree down nice work i can plonk another one there then i think that's all we need so basically once those two bushes are picked up we can just lay all of our dynamite down and that should be fine we might need to change the width but i think three for now should be fine but we might want to increase to four but down here it does it does narrow to three again so maybe the width is fine now one thing i should probably check is this actually does this go all the way down i'm gonna check this valley so it's all cleared here passes under the scrap metal the ruins and then down here are we definitely there's a bloody dam at the end oh god i am very glad we saw that if we didn't get rid of that damn all of this would be underwater so we're marking for demolition the dam get rid of it right and then down here i actually have quite big plans for what i want to do so this seems like an ideal place to have like a small little reservoir so what we're gonna do we're gonna build a path going from here somewhere i'm guessing back there and then gonna build another lumberjack flag build some stairs and now that lumberjack flag is built i'm gonna pause or at least reduce the number of workers is there anything to build at the moment i don't think there's anything to build oh yeah the dynamite the dynamite needs building and that needs removing oh no they are they're out of range i don't think they can build them because oh god damn it tell you what though i think we can extend the range if we extend our path all right let's just see so look this is how far they can build so they can't actually build all of those if we get a path let me do that there we go we've now extended the range so that's all good yeah the lumberjack down here they don't have anything to do so we just need to say cut some trees down first one cut that down and then i want all the ones in here to be chopped down so once that one has gone we can then put a path there we need to make sure that that is on super high priorities they need some planks which means distribution post we need to add a new route so please send them over a couple of planks sorted all right there you go they now have six planks so i'm actually going to tell them don't take any more planks over there they don't need them so happyville planks spin that off but keep the explosives going i've got big plans for the explosives oh meanwhile look we've had we've had a few grown-ups to sigmundur the german dude they both grew up so you've been put to work somewhere we've had a load of births and agb gaming has died of old age what a shame ever since season one that guy's just sat on his ass constantly so no real loss no real loss all right so the stairs are about to be built grunt doing the business there you go done so we'll unpause the lump jack flag so now eight bit astronaut is in there they should start cutting the trees down and then this is where i'm gonna place my next dynamite so if we come into landscaping dynamite we're gonna do a strip up to there so that should feed this area so who's down there jonty you need to hurry up and cut those trees mate because you're about to be flooded although you're not because if you look in the top right 0.8 days to the dry season all right so before we do anything do we have enough food and water yes we do we've got we're so prepared this time it only took like three generations of beaver genocides for for me to realize how to fix this oh and look at this look at the dam this is perfect timing so how far off is that thing there waiting for material right super prioritize that if we can get this floodgate in that will give us even more water and you can see here they've built four gear workshops but we've got massive problems in that if you follow the power shafts we haven't dynamited this so we're gonna have to i think plonk stairs there in order for us to build up the dynamite to go on top but uh how much power is this drawing 230 hp compared to just one of these little ones which draws in 54. they still haven't built this one yet so maybe we have to do that test later on now but in the meantime we've really got to prioritize this how far off are we we need quite a lot of logs quite a lot of planks i don't know if that's going to happen in 0.6 days time because we don't even have that long we could increase the working hours fact might worth doing that we'll do 24 hours we'll just try and get this built before the dry season hits then we'll store all this water whereas if it stays like that that will just drain but yeah and the other thing wrong with these i don't have any parts so we'll do some parts along the front and then this is actually going to lead to a bigger industrial area all of this i imagine will be built up but for now it's just a race to see can they build that in time i need some planks you've got loads of planks we've got 126. we'll fast forward and see if they can do it come on beavers yes it's been built yes 75 come on right yes it's built it's built and the drought has just started what timing was that absolutely perfect right let's drop the working hours back to 16 hours i'm gonna raise this up and look our mega dam is complete we're holding back all this water but i am still gonna pause pretty much all of these water pumps because i want to try and keep this area green it was a nightmare when we lost all of our farms and stuff pause u3 as well and then basically as the water level drops we can just come over to here and we can just just lower this a little bit just a little bit more water through like that but uh for now i think i think we're fine so well done oh and look our lido is finally complete a lot of people have been calling it a lido i call it a lido maybe that's british thing maybe it's just me being an idiot there's a beaver swimming they're all the baby beavers as well a jelly snake rebel joined by josh and look at this i'm just lying on his back chris oh man this is this is awesome i'm loving the lido the lido oh yeah i i need to have a think about summer jobs i think we're just gonna unpause a load of these science huts so basically all of our water pumpers are actually gonna have loads of jobs because over here yeah look our industrial area we're not making any power anymore because there's no water going through so all of these can be paused they can all be scientists nice oh not nice though down here our farm is completely dried out i forgot about that uh all right well let's unpause the farmhouse pause the builders pause the water pump cause texas ranco you have pumped your log so much it's gone dry so get you in the farms prioritize harvesting go pick up those carrots before they dry out you've got 1.7 days although our warehouse is full they don't know where to store the carrots damn it in which case let's build a small warehouse down there oh man who's up here someone's just fallen asleep in the dynamite that's the most dangerous place i've ever seen someone fall asleep i am very tempted to press this button who is it oh it's grunt can i do that to grunt it would be funny it would be funny but yeah since you're in happyville you're not in shaneville i will let it slide i will let it slide this time i need to mark some trees to be cut down so we want all of those ones in there to be chopped and then we can unpause that lumberjack flag cool so next up my plan for down here i want to make power using this river because it's going to be running fast i reckon so if we head into power we can plonk some compact power wheels and if we build those two first using our stairs and then we can delete the stairs and build a third one then we should be good right oh no texas rancor died of old age which means we're a bit short on people in happyville we've only got five now is that enough for what i want to achieve now i tell you what i'm gonna i'm gonna migrate some more so josh you are now part of happyville i guess that's what you get for uh just spending all your time in the lido oh no all the carrots we hardly picked any carrots they're all dried out oh well hopefully once we fill this with water we should be able to fix that oh man we're getting some deaths now i'm guessing a lot of people were born at the same time because john t essen architect with mit engineering degree ricky colon and randy they've all died they've all died we need we need more births although check out the number of adults it's just the meme numbers today are insane well it won't be long until some of these are born won't be long at all so that's fine i won't panic too much oh look our log storage is built our three-story log storage area is now built so we can store logs for days that's fantastic all right here we go orc from mork and lightning hound they're both born so we are increasing our numbers i don't need to panic too much oh and this is built so once the dry season is over i will show you what i wanted to test because as i said before i was i was an idiot last time right so the drought has ended you can see the water is returning to the top of the map and if we follow this down we didn't even need to undo our triple floodgate we've still got water down here which means everything was green everything was good except for this end but ignore that all right so let's just put all the jobs back to normal if you look we did use a thousand water drawing map so maybe we do need to build some more water storage if we're gonna increase the numbers we're gonna need more water saved up look the water is over topping our dam again and it means we can do our test down here so once the water gets flowing you can see this wheel makes between i've just been keeping an eye on it between like 10 and 60 hp i don't think it goes above that now if you want to make this narrower i made the silly mistake last time i can only apologize this i built levees like that and then i was confused as to why the water wasn't going fast down there well obviously there's less resistance around the outside so most of water will just go around there so if we actually build these in the opposite way so if we do that wait for those to get built so we got one on that side and we should have one on this side there we go so is the power output any higher if it can go above 60 61 it might be a little bit maybe not a lot but what if we build a few more so it's even narrower now so you can see the water is moving a lot faster now and it's gone up to 64 there yeah so it seems to be floating between 50 and 60 which is pretty nice it hasn't dropped low at all what if we build even more i'm a bit worried if i make this too narrow we're going to get a bit of a flood situation going on but uh this is in the name of engineering so there we go we've got that side done this side is about to be completed there we go oh look at that look at that we're in triple digits 100 what 150 180 okay okay indeed let's build two more i honestly don't think all that water is going to fit down one but it might be look how fast it's raging as well the current is raging i'm supposed to beavers aren't getting swept away but they're in we did flood a little bit but i think it's settled power output 90 oh that's not good oh god okay okay okay okay i think that's too narrow as expected so we are flooding everything so i am just going to delete that oh no it's flooding badly it's flooded oh dear oh dear right i'm just gonna have to delete all of these just to uh give the water somewhere to escape but i think that's test complete yes water physics are somewhat realistic in this uh far more realistic than i was giving it credit for so that's cool wait i'm going to delete that because that was just for a test but we could use that down here i'm wondering is it worth building three or do i just build one with levees either side i don't know but i think that might be a question for next time i feel like we've achieved we've definitely learned something so i'm going to say peace love and power generating mega dams oh i'm going to press detonate on that as well bye guys [Music] you
