Rather than having a second level of pumps, you can use a concept similar to your irrigation stations. Currently, the existing reservoir is filling up the stream in front of it. You could put any number of pumps into that stream, and they'll always work, no matter how low the reservoir gets (until it's completely empty). Whenever they use up some water, more will just come out from the reservoir. Even if they only had a depth of 1, they wouldn't care :)
Well, this certainly will be interesting. As the level of the reservoir lowers during the drought you could remove the middle wall layer by layer and use the recovered wood to finish of the extension. If you need more wood I guess you could cut down the pine and mangrove trees in an emergency. The only question is, will the floor underneat the wall be watertight? Or will there be a great flood.
When you sit there and wonder if JC will figure out he should plant trees everywhere he can until resources come back up. May be a water dump on the lower field…. Edit: 38:00 yay!
You know what would be really cool? Under water water pumps. I feel it would be possible with a combination of impermeable floors, a single shaft and ladders going down to them, and sluices.
@JCTheBeard I have an idea in my head I'll attempt to describe. Basically, water proof box at the bottom of the reservoir. Chimney like shaft running down to it with ladders inside the chimney. Pumps pick up water from a 2x1 trough in front (or sit on platforms) and have 0.7 block height of water. Trough (or area under pumps) fed via sluice that maintains height.
34:30 2760 logs in total for the new reservoir front wall with 876 still needed to fill in the gaps. Shouldn't take more than a couple of beavers, a few oak trees, and the right attitude to get that thing shored up good as new. Now get out there and do it to it.
Probably could have put a sluice a set a height so your extension to the reservoir wouldn't overflow but you didn't Your always entertaining to watch love ya
Why didn’t you slowly demolish the wall separating the two sections of the reservoir and use that wood to build a new part of the reservoir wall that was missing? You can use the bridge to have the beavers pick up the resources cause they can pick them up infinitely below the bridge.
@36:42, not quite. You sort of discovered having water storage above your pumps. The storage can be deeper than 6 units. Then using sluices at the bottom, the storage empties into a pumping pond below. Sure you are increasing your evaporation but this lets you stack up water quite a bit deeper than the water pumps operate for.
@38:28, too early now but when you recover your resource deficit, consider making a central area for log storage, flags, and forester so the workers can drop off effectively and then haulers help your logging efforts
You always need more logs than you think you do. Always. If I'm right, that levee wall would actually need not 1,500 to 2,000 logs, but 2,484! The resource costs of even a medium sized project can be immense. Accurate estimates are really hard to do. Which is why I always try to have huge stockpiles of *everything* and yes, I still run out.
what if you put sluice gates at the end of your badwater sewer to keep the good water in and close them when a drought starts to avoid the creeping contamination along the river's edges! (dams would work too) i think what they meant when they asked for slow speed was to knock out an entire wall and watch the water crash in :P
19:43 The way I woud have done woul be making the temporary bridge one block to the side and also put the definitive bridge on the correct location, so the beavers would build everything with less need of micromanagement. Then I would delete the temporary bridge. 27:31 I wish you turned the dirt excavator clockwise and placed it on top of the cliff. 🙁
This "super reservoir' is gonna be super awesome! 🥤🦫 ... It's a shame we can't build a beaver submarine to patrol around within it 😎 (or plonk some fish in there) 🐡 bloop bloop
29:12 it's not about "exciting" all the time, it's about the journey and the friends we make along the way, the community is so nice in here
The community really is fantastic. It's so rare to see a comment that is even slightly mean
@@JCTheBeard as long as the mugs finance the 24h HotTub steam i won't be mean!
@@JCTheBeard JC is a doodoohead!

Turn off engines to save some wood.
you made my brain hurt with decisions this episode... lol
That makes two of us 😂
Don’t worry about being entertaining enough. Someone once told me;
1/3 will hate you.
1/3 won’t care.
1/3 will love you.
But all 3 came to see you
You have platforms and power shafts along the reservoir that can be removed for extra wood
Well, this certainly will be interesting.

Ssh you are preventing a disaster that I really wanted to see happen this episode.
You should've put a sluice gate on the hole in the dam wall, and you could control the amount that the new reservoir filled.

Now THAT is a really, really great idea. I wonder if I can figure out how to build that...

What im worried about is when yku go to remove the wall in between the two reservoirs, will that line be impermeable?
I don't remember if he put impermeable floor underneath it. I know he did it somewhere, but I'm not even sure it was in this season...
Still love this series. Thank you
You can remove the waterdump now.

can't wait for the "non-fps" livestream ! have fun with the X-mass special!
Great stuff mate😁👍
How to kill your beavers in 40 minutes ;)
