I now always have one meteo sensor for every type of weather. It's so much easier to manage automation that way than using individual sensors everywhere with water type, water depht, etc.

Plus a small decoration to quickly remember which is which : water, drought, and bad water in order.

Folk tails on 1.1, I managed to get the max average population wellness on 500 beavers :smile:

The map is Valley. I was planning on also getting the 3 wonders achievement on this map, but it's lagging too much to continue on my laptop of well over a decade old.

I want to build a big water storage box I can fill then leach from during droughts/badtides, but I need a way to elevate the water from source to above the box. I was wondering if this would work at all. Because water can't go backwards through a fill valve, would it keep flowing through and fill upwards in the tube? or just spill over the back of the map once it reached +1 blocks in height? And I can't lock the water in and force it to fill up as it's against the map edge. Should I just use mechanical pumps instead?

EDIT: there will be a roof over the channel and tube. I just didnt put one here so that you could see inside.

EDIT 2: I am now aware that water will not escape of the edge via the space above the source block.

No mods btw. Unfortunately hard mode doesn’t supply enough water to sustain this build, even without beavers the water storage is dropping… This was my second run, had absolutely no idea at the beginning what I’m about to do, I was only concerned to make it through the first badtide lol

(The 3 exploded beavers have been bots, no real digital beavers were harmed during the making of this build, except a bit of contamination maybe :)

Huge shout out to u/Acalc791For helping me understand the limits of the compact mech pump. For anyone wondering, the real issues I've been having were actually caused by trying to make the pump pressurize water all the way to world height. The pumps actually do work side by side, unlike what I thought was happening in a previous post.

But LOOK AT THAT HOUSING COMPLEX! Its not fully decorated yet, will definitely add stuff to make the bottom floor look less scaffolding-y. But the whole build is a fountain with 16 ever flowing waterfalls, that's pretty awesome. 19 if you count the 3 to go back into the holding tank

Also this is hard mode btw

*slaps gravity battery* You can fit so many hph in this bad boy

I wanted to share my beaver computer bc i find the lights pretty

Would love to watch his Timberborn series on YouTube...

Aquatic Farm area, living area and Waterfall feature with then Fountain are all fed from the main 2 stage reservoirs
