Hi newbie here, Im trying to make a separate district for farming and im testing out the district distribution.

Im first testing it on carrotsw and after runing it for like an hour, my main districts carrot reserves were not repleneshing,
What settings should I set it at?

I made a mod that improves one of Timberborn’s weak points: simulation speed in large late-game colonies.

On my large test colony, I measured roughly 1.5x to 2.4x the vanilla tick rate.

However, even after making the simulation itself faster, the frame rate could still remain heavily affected. So I also implemented a mode that reduces the CPU cost of animations, making it possible to play at around 30 FPS even on heavy saves.

The attached video was recorded on the same heavy colony in a fixed 30 FPS mode. This means the difference shown is not just a higher FPS counter. The simulation itself is progressing faster, while the frame rate is no longer being sacrificed as much.

What it optimizes

Per-entity ticking: virtual-call-heavy object loops → flatter batched dispatch

Harvest searches for farms and similar systems: repeated scans → segment tree

Event dispatch: dynamic handler resolution → precompiled delegates

Hot-path allocations / boxing: reduced heap churn and GC pressure

Pathfinding / travel-time estimates: cached and reused where safe

The goal is to reduce the CPU cost per tick while keeping colony behavior exactly the same as vanilla.

Important notes

Please turn V-Sync off.

There may still be bugs, so please back up any important save files before testing.

I do not currently have a save with more than 1,000 beavers, so if you are running a very large colony, especially one with multi-level farms or large forestry areas, I would really appreciate it if you could try this mod and let me know how much of a difference it makes on your save.

Implementation was AI(Fable5)-assisted, then tested against vanilla behavior.

I build a farming skyscraper but why does the water on top not make the land under farmable?

So my Folktails went a little weird from mismanaging badwater. They started worshipping one of their own as a demigod and now we have Gnasher the Lord of Teeth atop his pyramid, The Tails do have a dark side.

A huge update has been pushed to both Steam and Mod.io. This update only applies to Timberborn v1.1 and up.

With this update, ALL events are now written in JSON (the former C# custom code events are still supported). A lot of new support abilities are added, especially related to map-altering abilities.

A new expansion is also published: Waterfalls Map Event Pack (Steam, Mod.io. This pack adds events when you play on the Waterfalls map and also demonstrates some map-changing powers.

It is also fully documented now: https://github.com/datvm/TimberbornMods/tree/master/BeaverChronicles/Docs

Just appreciating the detail when you zoom in. We all play the game mostly from altitude but man did the developers add way more detail to certain assets than I'd ever realize.

my first relatively large dam, its my first playthrough, so its probably very inefficient

Hi I'm very new to the game and looking for some advice on the diorama map (I love playing small maps - it feels more manageable). This is my 4th playthrough... THIS GAME IS SO FUN!!!

- I used ladders mod

- Kinda cheated with the dev-tool power source

- Couldn't fit in the fancy foods - so my beavors don't have cattail crackers, spadderdock

Pictured is my plan: Create a channel on the cliffside next to the large water source that leads the badwater down to the badwater pipes, then channel both those sources into the dry channel. The problem is the levees would cost around 800 lumber which simply isn't feasible before the 1st badwater tide (playing on hard). Are you resigned to just surviving the 1st (and maybe 2nd and 3rd depending on luck) badwater tides? Or is there a solution I'm not seeing?

Seen on an aggregator channel, OG source unknown

I'm on my first settlement. I didn't realize that berries don't add food variety for the beavers. So I'm stuck with 5k of berries, any suggestion how to get rid of them?
