Engineering an ADJUSTABLE SUPER DAM to survive long dry seasons in Timberborn!

hello fellow engineers and welcome back to timberborne oops and i just opened the wrong save file so this is the map i'm working on on my twitch stream at the moment we are creating a huge mega dam don't worry it'll probably be turned into a video at some point but let's get back to our series oh yes here we are the safety of our lovely lovely area so if you haven't watched this series before basically this is where we've got to we've got a pretty big city now and we finally built a bridge even though it's only a little one for now you can see all of our little beavers beavering about look there's so many of them they're all like carrying barrels and fun and carrots it's it's a beautiful sight but yes let's let's take stock of where we are so science points are pretty good basically in the dry season this is our seasonal job so when like the river dries up and we stop pumping water the water will stop moving everyone becomes a scientist we get loads of science so pretty happy with science yeah materials we got quite a lot of gears you got loads of metal blocks loads of planks loads of scrap metal so i'm pretty happy with everything there food not too bad i feel like we could always increase our food logs absolutely terrible i think that could be the next thing to focus on oh no look sunoco has died oh sonoka i do apologize and the other thing we need to look at is down here this is our youtube member area now they're sort of trying to become self-sufficient so they've got a few things they're going to be building like the deep water pump these breeding pods yeah but essentially i think we're just going to leave them to do their thing oh yes and i forgot we started building our super dam down here so that's why we're going to need logs so let's try and look at possible ways we can get our log on so you can see down here we got we got a forester they replaced the tree stumps with saplings this is duncan brown he's 44 but he's still working hard or is he hardly working oh my god no look montana williams and huck bear 44 has died voted so he's like a morph like a moth has died of old age yeah but green root fruit has grown up look he is now a hauler he works at the hauling post and he's only six years old he's young and full of life raring to go now we do need to be careful now we're down to just 63 adults which means a lot of our jobs are gonna be missing people here you can see in here sort of not all the jobs are full up the most important ones farmhouse that's full up you know the deep water pumps there follow-ups they're the the sort of main jobs so i think we're okay for that but we could do with these being a bit quicker if i'm honest maybe we want to look at increasing that should we try and get more food first i don't know i'm i'm really tempted actually this might be really stupid but to move the mega damn i know that's a level height it's a level higher damn it okay well something i'm quite intrigued to do i don't really know how it works water pump discharges water but how does it get the water that is what i want to know so i can see like down here on the map there's like this sort of it looks like a dried out like waterfall so if we put a deep water pump up there and sort of make a river flow down but i assume we need to supply the water pump do we i don't know i don't know i just don't know god look how many beavers are there's literally so many right i'm going to click on one if i can all right peregrine let's see how can we make you happier like what are the effects of everything so barn increases walking speed nutrition is strength nutrition three is carrying speed work speed work speed work speed work speed works basically everything just makes them work faster but then there's all three which increases life expectancy by 40 what is all three is that one of these monuments yeah or three oh god now you need 12 000 science points so i think that's quite a late game thing we'll probably leave that for now all right well i'll tell you what then we've got to look at chopping down some more trees and i feel like the best way of doing that is going over onto this side and the best way of doing that i'm gonna assume it's gonna be a bridge now we've only unlocked the four by one bridge but uh that spans the gap perfectly all right let's plonk that in prioritize the suspension bridge i prioritize everything in this game and then over this side we're gonna look at doing some steps so we're gonna want steps up there and then probably down there and then we'll just we'll just path in between all right sorted out are these trees marked be cut down no they're not so we'll mark them up we just paint them in lovely and then we've got a few beavers that have grown up and i think they are now builders so as we prioritize this bridge you have to click on this guy it's for breezy and we've just brought a box over and who's this this is lord finnish he's only six years old but he's already building his first bridge that is an inspiring career path meanwhile mr forrester up here look there's one there's one little piece of land that hasn't been marked for trees so let's make that a maple there you go elder you got a job now there you go he's running over to there and now he's gonna plant that oh god is that what he's doing are you planting he's definitely playing with wood let's put it that way i'm gonna swap these pines with maples as well just because maples are way more economic the trouble is i'm gonna have to do it like one by one as each one gets cut down so let's see how that goes we can probably do this front strip as well i don't know why i haven't done that yet load more trees and to be honest we should probably start planting trees down there so if we get another forester hut because i don't think these ones reach no they don't if we go into wood forrester we'll plonk you there and we'll plant a load of maples in that nice because wood wood is the big issue at the moment though i'd like food to be a bit higher wonder if it's worth trying to replace some of these carrots with potatoes we've got to keep the berry production going because that's what fuels our new generation oh my god there's so many beavers over here it's insane so yeah i reckon we'll try and spud some of this area up so if we say actually let's not let's not i don't want to ruin the equilibrium we've got so yeah your stays carrots your stairs buds we've got more carrots over here we can fill in the gaps now nice and these guys down here they've nearly finished building that log pile and once that's done i think that's everything built oh no there's two more breeding pods okay but look our first breeding pod is on the way that'll be our first youtube member birth yeah i'm gonna really limit this side they're sort of just there to don't know why that why why have we expanded over this side i know the original reason was we were slacking on food big time i was worried we're gonna die they were sort of here to like feed the patrons but um he seemed to be coping oh look christopher walker has grown up nice you are unemployed so we need to give you a job i feel like we should open the builder hot again let's unpause that chris you're in there you're a builder because we've got some stuff we want to build we want to finish a bridge you want to get our strongest shaped large warehouse why do they pick that shape for it well because it's sufficient i guess and the other thing i'm really intrigued to try is the dynamite we haven't even looked at dynamite yet i was thinking it might be a way to sort of move some water about so we're gonna have our super dam built there but i'm pretty sure i could probably dynamite down this way sort of make that like a river i don't know but still that's quite a way off because where is dynamite it's in wood so we're gonna need a paper mill turns logs into paper and then an explosive factory which turns paper into dynamite so that's a thousand research on its own that might be one for next time but now i feel like the super dam is priority but in order to get the super dam we've got to get we got to get some more wood all right so yeah we we're completely out of power so these engines they use they use logs to create fuel and at the moment they've got zero logs so i feel like we may as well just pause these we don't need planks or gears at the moment let's just pause all of these and now we've got four unemployed beavers we're going to fill up the builders huh joining chris we got mathis van dijk bob the builder yes bob the builder is a builder and hex wind uh hauling post let's up that and people can be haulers and oh no oh no so we've just been told the dry season is coming i feel like we've got enough water we got like 1400 water food all right it's all going up i think as potatoes are growing yeah that's really helping okay i think i think we're fine actually i think we're fine and look over this side this is all grown now so james lee will pause you and then you just came over here to become a builder we're gonna pause the builders as well all right and now your farmers are gonna reduce one farmer down and then yeah valentin you are now a log pumper just so this side should be a bit more self-sufficient they're creating their own water harvesting carrots they're all good i think we'll be fine actually there's there's a lot of food going up now as everything's being harvested oh look come over here the bridge is complete it looks like they're building the steps over to this weight and then they'll start logging all of this oh this is fantastic good work guys look at them they're damn they're doing the damn whoa let's slow down slow down oh god okay we gotta be really careful here i do not want to cause a flood oh that's looking pretty close to flooding all right it's this one i can raise and oh look how on the fly i can do that so i've lowered that so i'm letting water through am i letting too much water through oh god it is pretty vicious i think because i just let it through in like a big wave there might be a sort of mini flood happening oh god yeah look down here look at the dam it's proper overflowing oh this is dangerous this is dangerous holy crap look at the water coming through though i guess a proper torrent back there that's so cool can they reach that oh yeah they're building it from there that hungry who's who is the hungry guy hex wind although they are hungry they were building from this corner that's like we really need some like safety railings up there that's dangerous yeah is that just the last oh yeah it's being built all right pause first right the mega dam is sort of complete it looks like sorry not the mega dam the super dam is complete and what a feat of engineering this is and it's just in time for the dry season so my sort of aim here was to turn this up so if we bring the height oh they're linked i'm so glad they're linked oh do we have a leak i think we've got a leak we got a slight leak we might we might have to fix that okay so if we go into landscaping to fix our leak i thought corners didn't leak for some reason but uh turns out they do so we're basically just going to levy that to the top plug her up basically but that's good you can see we are filling that up i probably don't want to flood those guys yet actually yeah let's lower that to two oh so i just let loads of water or maybe two and a half i feel like two is a bit low i'll do two and a half oh i feel like god i'm like playing with water levels so yeah we just got to make sure these trees don't flood the water's very turbulent now i think two and a half is the right level oh that bridge just went underwater oh god oh god it's flooding down here guys be careful i know you're beavers but be careful flood water is dangerous oh my god no it's flooding it is flooding all right it's up here okay up here's okay all right i think i think that that is the right level this bridge is not like like a floating bridge so yeah i think two and a half is the max oh god things are being flooded down it how is there so much water suddenly that will fix itself right or have i flooded the beavers they're still building that quad maybe it's because the corners spilling out as well i don't know i don't know what have i done what have i done yeah the drought is incoming in 0.4 days so this is our last glimpse of sunlight before we need to be careful oh no look what's happening where they're building that up is pushing the water further thankfully beavers can't drown but i know that wood can let's just prioritize these just getting built let's get them built let's fast forward and see what happens all right it's night time nighttime flooding dangerous this is our last evening right so the drought has started there's now no more water coming from the source up here oh but oh no well i was fast-forwarding so many people died so jonathan rama died of old age so did less than marv papa panda yeah but then we had a new generation grew up there we had a birth but then tesla died all right it turns out tesla died at home surrounded by friends and family at the age of 77 you lived a good life des the beavers are appreciative for what you helped us achieve um but anyway we've got we've got our dry season to worry about now so the plan here was this dam would be perfect for the dry season so at the moment we got these raised up so if we look behind you see these are holding water back and it should mean that this area up here will now stay green oh look we've like filled it with greenness so we could potentially plant up everything up here yeah my sort of plan was as this water level drops if it does drop rather than keep like stopping pumping during the dry season we could slowly like lower these so if we do it now if we lower this by half you see it lets a load of water through this raises the level up down here meaning it doesn't go green but what i'm gonna do i'm gonna i'm gonna leave it at two and a half for now i'm just gonna lower that when this water like runs out a bit so the idea is we just drip feed water through as we need it so hopefully we are self-sufficient and oh who's this and who's this the real architect has grown up all right i tell you what you need a job you need a job that's right for an architect so on top of the knob i'm going to build that i'm going to do two sets of stairs so you can get up to it then we're going to watch this be built they're building it from the inside of the knob as well it's quite impressive yeah they're building from the outside as well so steps nearly done and now just the power wheel right now everyone is beavering away trying to build this they want to shame the architect and it will happen hey look at them all these are real engineers lord finish the breezy bob the builder all right and hex windows up there and it's completed right come here real civil architect you work at the hauling post so we're gonna sack you i'm trying to attack you but everyone else is getting sacked why aren't you getting sacked there you go no you go there frostings that's not for you no amp him no frosting no there we go now the real architect is in the power wheel all right there you go shame shame shame shame now you're destined to work the wheel as punishment and if any other people think it's funny joining as a top tier patreon with a stupid name this will be your punishment as well oh god oh god pause pause pause pause pause okay so you can see up here everything has gone brown we've run out of water we've over pumped so let's see if our plan works so we lower that down and the water flows again and yes it rejuvenates the land this is the like most satisfying part of this game just watching the land become green again and we'll get to it multiple times throughout the dry season now sick oh that is actually wicked i'm so pleased i did that that is how you engineer the dry season to not be a problem anymore my only concern is how low the water level go up here like where does the brown go to can you see now this is now green down here it's not water ideally i like all this top level to stay green because then we can plant it oh you can see it's shrinking back oh it's not really sure where it's going it's it's going all over the place i think it's going to be yeah that's not going to be great for planting and we might even need to yeah we might even need to lower those gates again although we've got quite a long time left to drive i might actually stop pumping all these so we'll pause all of you guys and then we'll turn on our science jobs so the seasonal science jobs are back so i don't think we're building anything at the moment either so maybe we'll pause the builders hut and then more scientists more scientists but yeah up here we definitely need another lumberjack flag just so we can get the ones on this side so i think we'll plonk this there so they'll come and build that i feel like it might be sensible as well in water we can unlock this this is a depth marker it's 150 science but i think it will be useful now we've got our floodgates so we can open and close so let's unlock that i think if we put one down there then we can just keep an eye on that depth but nice i'm glad we sort of beaten the dry season like we can keep these pumping all the time now and we can always add more pumps there we've got space to do it but our water's fine food is also fine things are looking fantastic all right and sevens is just finishing up building the depth marker there you go so we can click on that so highest water level 0.23 then we can see how that drops over time i don't think it should drop now but it will be a good test to see oh it does so there is evaporation or like maybe the maybe the plants are using it up i wasn't sure if it was just the water pumps that lowered the level but you can see there definitely is not the case it does drop gradually over time all right so a lumberjack flag up here is completed so that is adam bond he'll be heading up there and and logging the trees over this side now let's just check our water level again yeah it's still dropping actually interesting over on our youtube member side water in this place has filled up we don't have any storage yet but i think i might pause that and get them on farming oh we've actually had two births over here yeah we also missed quite a few deaths and things oh god blue fire wolf clueless clown oh not all the deaths are bad uh john garcia but yeah rest in peace you lovely beavers all right it's another evening people sort of packing up for the night what i might try during the evening so i want to see because the water level is going down all the time it's on 0.2 now i want to know if i drop this by a half does that completely ruin the water level or is it accurate to the actual level so you can see it's like completely covered in water my aim is to sort of get some water flowing over the dam there it is there it is so we replenish down here a bit so i don't really want this to go brown down there but doing that might make up hair go brown as well i've got to be careful it's all a balancing act it's all the learning act but it seems like the water has settled so what are we on 0.63 and it said it went up to 0.78 now the water's flowing through so i think it is sort of i've sort of put it at the wrong place i think the level is getting a bit oh you can actually see is how the red thing is that's like the max water level that's cool okay so yeah it's not it's not too i thought the water flowing on top of it might sort of make the reading inaccurate but maybe not cool good to know all right it's another morning things looking good the logs are finally going up again which is good to see oh what have you planted birch in there yeah pillocks i thought we said plant maples everywhere oh dear oh dear oh well quite nice we've still got five days to last that's quite a long time actually i sort of i've been forgetting the drought's going to get longer and longer so we need to be a little bit careful but to be honest we got a thousand food we got 1600 water like this is this is the most like prepared i've felt in this entire game sort of waiting for like something bad to happen like a tornado to hit or something yeah look at this dwight street has grown up what are you you're a hauler there he is dwight oh dwighty boy i have a feeling one of the beavers might be playing tricks on you they'll be hiding your beaver stapler and jelly or something anyway science is going up really well how much did the old bridge cost in the end did we work that out so the big bridge was oh three thousand two hundred that's loads i wanna find an area where we can actually build a twelve span bridge i think it's going to take some doing but uh oh well all right so nothing going on for now i think we'll just fast forward through this dry season a bit i don't think there's anything we need to sort of be aware of or worry about just on the deaths as they happen although we have had a birth down at our youtube member site jared nolan has joined so i think we can start upping the jobs to be honest so let's unpause the builder hut do we have any spare people i don't think we do actually now they're all just kids i forgot to neverland over here damn never i feel bad they're all homeless look at them got hello and his just just one year old and sleeping out in the rough valentine and james lee they're both 17 they can cope oh there's loads of babies over here got borehound he's five tom younger one of the originals matty patterty and jared noland nice i feel like i don't want to have too many more beers i might pause them for now because i do i've now come up with a plan for my youtube members we're gonna try and bring water back up to here we're going to be trying out a water dump sod it should we just yeah sorry we're going to do it now so we're going to unlock that i'm going to literally just plonk it there and then we'll build some sort of stair system to get up there yeah but i think that's for next time i think that's for next time i'm focusing on focusing on the main area and the mega super dam oh wow water level up here is dropping quite a bit to be honest what's it look like at the back or maybe not maybe not it hasn't dropped too much down the back of the dam i mean loads of people grown up tales of telos jonathan kievers shatika which means plenty new employees for when we get through the dry season amino i've noticed we've used up all of our planks so i've shoved a few people and one in the engine we got cali pavlovsky in there creating some power and a logan scruff has gone in the lumber mill so we will be getting some more planks now okay so i think it's a good idea to stay stocked up on planks because they do come in useful hey boy what are you doing dog what a good dog what a good dog you are boy oh he's going upside down he's upside down rub his belly oh god so i was just distracted by my dog and it seems we've missed loaded deaths it's quite nice people seem to be dying like during their sleep apparently hex wind he got 72 now just died in the barracks but so do failure and sam faults thankfully there's a whole new generation coming through so numbers pretty good look you got 69 adults nice i also turned on another lumber mill so in this one we've got jordan tried because he tried to make planks and that is what we ask of our beavers just just try your best all you'll do you just try so as long as that will keeps turning jordan you don't have to fear for your beaver life right so it's another beaver day oh and sadly xalathi died of old age but look we got 2d grown-ups happy hallways and what right prioritize we need to prioritize all of this and just like that we've seemed to have survived the dry season yes the drought has ended oh it should mean we can raise this back up to two and a half and then we should see the water we'll fill that up shall we time-lapse that that could be fun let's fast-forward all right there it is oh my goodness look at the green back there all right there we go we've got water flowing once again we had a load of deaths again oh so many deaths we're down to just 66 adults damn so sue crude william peregri samuel valdez jack jackie yanrow mathis van dyke and adam bond they all died oh god so that's that's not great though but at least zandax grew up and they are now a farmer first things first we're going to be punishing bridges suck but we need to create a lot more planks for that so i think we'll turn on this lumber mill and bob the build has gone in there so we should have a load of planks ready for next time ready to punish that horrible horrible patreon but yeah i'm just really happy that my thing oh god did it work what have i done why why is it so flooded back here does that need to come down a bit more it's on two and a half i thought two and a half was normal all right we'll lower it to two i thought two and a half was enough oh god there's so much water these beavers are all getting wet that bridge is like it's an underwater bridge now it makes no sense we can turn these pumps back on we can pour some science the big bridge is going to have to wait till next time yeah anyway guys i'll try and fix this next time peace love and blooded super mega dams why is there so much water [Music] you
