Love the updates, your Timberborne content is always terrific. Wouldn't it be better though to dynamite the lakes to make them deeper and more worthwhile for storage despite the additional evaporation?
But if it's too deep it won't be useful. Deep water will just stay there until its pumped up to where you're using the water. You want natural flow and not waste energy pumping water upstream.
Skye the engineering you do on timberborn is phenominal. I legitimately have been considering getting timberborn because of you with how enjoyable your content is
As a new Subscriber who just found your videos like a week ago I have been binge watching the whole series. I will always welcome more videos. Can't wait to see your plans laid out.
Hey! New subscriber here, found your series a few nights ago and am bingeing it. I’m loving the balance to it all. Excited to follow and see more. Cheers from Denmark :)
Yeeees updates to the beaver Castle between long vids are a cool idea I love how the map looks with all the green!! Can't wait to see the entire thing filled with life
Update videos are always helpful. As for the evaporation situation, instead of simply walling off those areas, why not use dynamite to lower them to the same depth as the river? That way you get nice deep reservoirs all across the map where evaporation becomes as close to a non-issue as possible. As for the Temple and the Castle proper, I can't wait to see how they turn out! You've always got incredibly amazing designs, Skye, whether that's here in Timberborn or in any other series.
too deep of water is also an issue. the water is stuck below level we can pump, water plants, and flow into the storage basin for the power system. we would need tp spend more power to pump the water out of the lower levels expending even more energy.
I think the fastest that i clicked on a link was clicking on this video and i just started this series like 2 days ago, I'm pretty much addicted to watching you bringing these awesome ideas to life. Can't wait to see the next episode and the amazing ideas you have.
7:01 Skye: "Each of these platforms is two hundred metal blocks - which is a HUGE amount! So, we're gonna have to be exploiting..." Me: "...our beavers." Skye: "...these mines." Me: "...these mines."
The more water the better, even with the evaporation. Id say, blast as deep as you can everywhere to store more with the area you have. Unless you need more land space for building. Liking the idea of the progress update videos! Love your Timberborn content!
Updates are great. You might consider making an atlantis district to get to that flooded mine. With that much needed metal, you are likely to need it. Would fit in with your other awesome builds to have a super deep leveed in staircase down to the depths heh.
Considering the time it takes for the post-late-game projects, these updates, and little tid-bit calculations (evaporation rates, for example) are a great idea. Community building at its best.
so at 10:49 if you look carefully at the farthest out windmill you can clearly see that your offshore windfarm is missing a high power shaft connection meaning you are lacking two windmills worth of power from it
Interested in a smaller 1 pump row perpetual machine/generator , maybe do an experiment outside the save file, that you can sandbox build the water generator, and optimise it to be efficient, the most power for the given space. (Power output, what power you can safely get with only one row of pumps, and if the shape of the build matters.)
Hey, Skippy, I had a thought about your wall around the castle grounds. I thought about access and wondered if a scaffold could hold a levee as a gate or barring that, maybe a floodgate/riser can be traversed if the base was 1 level down. It could even act as a drawbridge when the iron tails attack
On keeping the infinite power reservoir at equilibrium, just add a dam or platform piece so that the water level is constant. You can keep the singular pump working constantly, and thus you can connect it to the main power grid
4:32 I wondered why to the left of the big barrel.... you didn't just have a 2-wide damn from the main reservoir into the water channel. That way if there's excess water the pump-res gets a topup and if there isn't it doesnt, requires no power either.
I like the updates between big videos, but I like the idea of building around as much of the old infrastructure as possible, factory’s can go but the homes, shower and water set up, I would like to see it as ‘how it was built over time’ like we started with this and look where we are now kinda idea
3:04 I mean, you could have just added a dam into that levee the single pump is on so if the water gets too high, it just over flows back to where it came from. Would be an easy way to keep the water level steady with no maintenance.
The update is fantastic. Sometimes it’s difficult to get through a full 40-50 minute video so I really appreciate smaller videos of this length to give and overview of past projects and future plans.
If you start using the terraforming stuff you can reclaim those two spots of land you pointed out that are wasting water. You could alternatively use them as underwater farming.
For the little pit, just have it overfill but then put a dam into another even smaller pit (so the main one can't overflow); then pump the new tiny pit back into the main water supply.
If you build the 2 pumps up to be above the one windmill pump, you could have the windmill pump always going without concern of the wind, and have the water overflow back into where it's pumping from. Then it's a 100% self sustaining system without any input at all.
i was thinking where you want the water to flow off them is a great place for a mega dam as there are hills either side that would make another natural revivor
I think anything done with a reservoir should involve dynamiting down to the bottom of the map. You could even make it an outer mote project and surround the entire castle compound with a deep mote
Hey love the new serie and the fam! Btw is the central row of water wheel connected to anything ? i dont see any shaft or 3-way connecting to the others.
Bring golems and build it from dirt to keep it green... Dont use levees Also use platforms to hide shafts in refueling reservoir... Make it sky esthetic pleased 😉
nice build, and nice info about evaporation. 0.045 a day, and longest drough i ever see is 29 days, thats mean 1.5 water high is enough for the longest drought? the water wheel spam is big project, thanks for making it
would like to see if you can use flooding as a method to control the level. such as a power source that shuts down when flooded thus lowering the amount of water coming into the pit so it's self correcting.
another option with some of those higher areas around the reservoirs would be to dynamite them lower to increase their capacity rather than walling them off completely...
If the water level in the reservoir for the powerplant is always above the one needed for those two pumps to refill the system and they both run on 100% all the time, wouldn't it be possible to refill the system straight from the lake?
The updates are very handy it's nice to see what's going on I was just wondering would you think it would be better to just make the lakes deeper rather then walling off the sections I understand your not really solving the problem then but the lakes look well and I don't know would they look the best with dry patches because the walls but if there's no other way you gotta do what you gotta do
If you left the pump running from your main reservoir into the hydro dam, it won’t overflow? It’s like the water dumps, they stop when it reaches the top level
Thanks for the update. Rather than dam the shallow areas, could you not dynamite the deep channels deeper. That way if for some reason you get a lot of rain you have flood plains to utilise.
Why didn't you just put a few dams at the top of your hydroplant supply pool instead of levees? That way if it overfills, it will just spill back out. You could have had it on constant power then.
3:00 I kinda think you should reverse the design: let's call your main reservoir 1, the area at bottom of hydro 2, and your buffer small reservoir 3. I get that you can't just destroy everything and have 1 = 2 because 2 has to be lower... But if you pump from 1 to 2, build a dam at the top of 2 at that lower height you want, that drains to 3 when it gets too full, and then that's pumped out from 3 back to 2... It's never going to fill up or overflow because you're evaporating more than you're putting in from 1
I hope I'm not going to say something false but... last time I tried to make an aqueduct (which I tried with metal platforms), it did not work. The water just went straight through them due to issues with the game engine. Now MAYBE this has been fixed by now, but I do recommend you test first before you build something which the game simply cannot do. Edit: you should also check if a structure is ground-only. Because some (like platforms) are and thus cannot be stacked onto other stuff.
Updates like this are fine. It should help to stop you from trying to push usual long videos daily (when even few a week should be fine - and this include such updates) and will slow down and maybe even stop you from burning yourself out.
Love the updates, your Timberborne content is always terrific. Wouldn't it be better though to dynamite the lakes to make them deeper and more worthwhile for storage despite the additional evaporation?
Definitely .. more depth/less surface are is the way to go :)
@@SkyeStorme Just make the explosen as big as possible ^^
I was just thinking of this! Great Idea
But if it's too deep it won't be useful. Deep water will just stay there until its pumped up to where you're using the water. You want natural flow and not waste energy pumping water upstream.
Exactly what I was coming to say. Instead of walling off low-level areas, make them max depth!
Skye the engineering you do on timberborn is phenominal. I legitimately have been considering getting timberborn because of you with how enjoyable your content is
I’m so excited to watch this
As a new Subscriber who just found your videos like a week ago I have been binge watching the whole series. I will always welcome more videos. Can't wait to see your plans laid out.
Hey! New subscriber here, found your series a few nights ago and am bingeing it. I’m loving the balance to it all. Excited to follow and see more. Cheers from Denmark :)
If you like his general style and the type of game, I suggest his "Surviving Mars" series. That's how I found him, and it's good fun too.
Better yet go back even further and watch his transport fever series. So much fun.
Cheers! Thanks! 😊😊
Yeeees updates to the beaver Castle between long vids are a cool idea
I love how the map looks with all the green!! Can't wait to see the entire thing filled with life
Yes, please keep us posted!

Can't wait to see the next episode and the amazing ideas you have.
This was great keep us updated along the journey as well as the final results in longer videos 👍🏻
I just found you watched this whole series in 3 days it amazing, and you and your lady are so funny the vibe and love is amazing !
Hell yes Skye is back
Love the update! Keep on doing them!
7:01
Skye: "Each of these platforms is two hundred metal blocks - which is a HUGE amount! So, we're gonna have to be exploiting..."
Me: "...our beavers."
Skye: "...these mines."
Me: "...these mines."
lol ;)
It’s good to see your stuff on TH-cam again!
I like having the update and I look forward to the plans as discussed coming to fruition.
THANKS! for the update, i greatly appreciate you sharing with us your plans for the future.
this series is the best timberborn play through in all of youtube
Awesome!!! All of your ideas! Awesome! Can't wait to see the next video.
This has been an amazing build series once again. Also thanks for the laughs.
The more water the better, even with the evaporation. Id say, blast as deep as you can everywhere to store more with the area you have. Unless you need more land space for building. Liking the idea of the progress update videos! Love your Timberborn content!
Awesome stuff man. Keep it going. I reaally like to style, clever and aesthetic solutions.
Skye, please keep coming up with these vids, I love watching your Timberborn videos!!
Updates are great. You might consider making an atlantis district to get to that flooded mine. With that much needed metal, you are likely to need it. Would fit in with your other awesome builds to have a super deep leveed in staircase down to the depths heh.
Yes definitely like the updates, and hearing your thought planning
Heck yeah! Need my tea and my blanket
love the updates, even posting uncut longer building videos would be great.
Updates are fantastic, love it
Glad I found your channel, never played the game but loving your series.
Considering the time it takes for the post-late-game projects, these updates, and little tid-bit calculations (evaporation rates, for example) are a great idea. Community building at its best.
so at 10:49 if you look carefully at the farthest out windmill you can clearly see that your offshore windfarm is missing a high power shaft connection meaning you are lacking two windmills worth of power from it
Great Idea with the update format, keep them coming if no big video coming out.
Interested in a smaller 1 pump row perpetual machine/generator , maybe do an experiment outside the save file, that you can sandbox build the water generator, and optimise it to be efficient, the most power for the given space. (Power output, what power you can safely get with only one row of pumps, and if the shape of the build matters.)
its so cool to see how you come up with this cool stuff 🙂
Really like the update. Can't wait to see the progress ;)

Yes love updates keep up the amazing building
I like the updates between big videos, but I like the idea of building around as much of the old infrastructure as possible, factory’s can go but the homes, shower and water set up, I would like to see it as ‘how it was built over time’ like we started with this and look where we are now kinda idea

I love anything you put out your awesome dude. 😎
Love the update idea!
Keep this great series up love the vids!!!
For the little pit, just have it overfill but then put a dam into another even smaller pit (so the main one can't overflow); then pump the new tiny pit back into the main water supply.
I like the update for the small changes you've made and the plans you came up with. Now if you act on them I would love to see them in a video
If you build the 2 pumps up to be above the one windmill pump, you could have the windmill pump always going without concern of the wind, and have the water overflow back into where it's pumping from. Then it's a 100% self sustaining system without any input at all.
Love the updates please keep it up.......💯%
Love the updates please keep it up.
i was thinking where you want the water to flow off them is a great place for a mega dam as there are hills either side that would make another natural revivor
Skye on an absolute tear
yeah short little updates are a nice idea
I think anything done with a reservoir should involve dynamiting down to the bottom of the map.
You could even make it an outer mote project and surround the entire castle compound with a deep mote
You should start making dirt blocks for terraforming and start using the beaver robots
Absolut awesomeness!
I don't mind shorter videos.
Don't forget the Bridges! There are some places where they would look awesome =)
Hey love the new serie and the fam! Btw is the central row of water wheel connected to anything ? i dont see any shaft or 3-way connecting to the others.
Bring golems and build it from dirt to keep it green... Dont use levees
Also use platforms to hide shafts in refueling reservoir... Make it sky esthetic pleased 😉
Sounds Great Build the Tower of Energy Storage 6 bats on each side and inside so 3 outside and 3 inside...
Gidday Skye!
Could the metal platforms have levies on top of them? If so, could you build a raised aqueduct? Make Roman beavers.
nice build, and nice info about evaporation.
0.045 a day, and longest drough i ever see is 29 days, thats mean 1.5 water high is enough for the longest drought?
the water wheel spam is big project, thanks for making it
Cool update
would like to see if you can use flooding as a method to control the level. such as a power source that shuts down when flooded thus lowering the amount of water coming into the pit so it's self correcting.
Hmmmmmmm .. now THAT is an interesting idea!
another option with some of those higher areas around the reservoirs would be to dynamite them lower to increase their capacity rather than walling them off completely...
Tower of Power!
If the water level in the reservoir for the powerplant is always above the one needed for those two pumps to refill the system and they both run on 100% all the time, wouldn't it be possible to refill the system straight from the lake?
I would deepen the water not reduce the surface to make evaporation insignificant and have more water.
yes
Super series
love it
Updates or riot. Right guys?
The updates are very handy it's nice to see what's going on I was just wondering would you think it would be better to just make the lakes deeper rather then walling off the sections I understand your not really solving the problem then but the lakes look well and I don't know would they look the best with dry patches because the walls but if there's no other way you gotta do what you gotta do
If you left the pump running from your main reservoir into the hydro dam, it won’t overflow? It’s like the water dumps, they stop when it reaches the top level
That would be too high
Funny, you rediscovered the 50yo rule that to keep a system fed the feeding mechanism must actually be faster to compensate for any variations.
Metal mines? Sounds like job creation for the beaver children.
Are there any caves on the map?
Nice 👍!
Good Vid
How about building a bridge connection between the two halls.
Thanks for the update. Rather than dam the shallow areas, could you not dynamite the deep channels deeper. That way if for some reason you get a lot of rain you have flood plains to utilise.
Why didn't you just put a few dams at the top of your hydroplant supply pool instead of levees? That way if it overfills, it will just spill back out. You could have had it on constant power then.
Now are you going to hook it up to the other places for the main power for all
3:00 I kinda think you should reverse the design: let's call your main reservoir 1, the area at bottom of hydro 2, and your buffer small reservoir 3. I get that you can't just destroy everything and have 1 = 2 because 2 has to be lower...

It's never going to fill up or overflow because you're evaporating more than you're putting in from 1
At least this proves you can play above normal and make stuff happen and it's really not that bad
Does the Temple of Supreme Awesomeness have a Grail shaped beacon?
Yes ... so the beavers will need a good spanking :)
do more of these
I mean you could also livestream it?
That could also happen :)
I hope I'm not going to say something false but... last time I tried to make an aqueduct (which I tried with metal platforms), it did not work. The water just went straight through them due to issues with the game engine. Now MAYBE this has been fixed by now, but I do recommend you test first before you build something which the game simply cannot do.
Edit: you should also check if a structure is ground-only. Because some (like platforms) are and thus cannot be stacked onto other stuff.
Hey skye!
i probably missed it but is the giant waterwheel system connected to bevercastle? if it is i can't seem to find where.
Not yet .. still figuring out the best way to do it :)
Keep it up skye and you better take care of that laughing beaver in the background. Thank me later.
update good
More updates please
Updates like this are fine. It should help to stop you from trying to push usual long videos daily (when even few a week should be fine - and this include such updates) and will slow down and maybe even stop you from burning yourself out.
use terrafotminhg and fill it in honestly more green space and dont need levees
so wait the water wheels eat a small bit of water every day?
Out of curiosity, if you close up the "tank" from the top - will this stop evaporation?
