More about Timberborn
Timberborn is a sandbox city-building game where players control beaver factions in a post-human world. After Earth became a dry wasteland due to droughts and toxic waste, beavers evolved to thrive. Players choose between two factions: nature-focused Folktails or industrious Iron Teeth, each with unique buildings and gameplay traits. The game features water physics, terraforming, vertical architecture, and lumberpunk mechanics. Players manage resources like wood and metal, build irrigation systems, automate tasks, and create settlements that survive recurring droughts and toxic waste events. The game emphasizes colony well-being through balanced diets, entertainment, and end-game monuments.
