Hey y'all,

Didn't make it in time for the competition (not sure how I would have uploaded that one haha) and it's still in development, but I'd love some feedback on the procedural map generator that I created.

The idea is, you get to set a few things or randomize it and it generates a unique map in a couple of seconds - different sizes, elevation and ruggedness, water and badwater sources (figuring out the water sim wasn't easy), a start location, and resources scattered across the map. Just like in the clip here. There's also a map code system so maps are shareable.

I made a video showing the settings and how it builds a map from scratch, and I generated a batch of maps from seeds people sent in (in the description if you want to download and try them):

Still rough, so any feedback is welcome. Especially whether the maps look like something you'd actually want to play, and what settings you'd want control over.

at first i was goin to ask how this happened but i wont question it

i want to cover this entire place with water indefinitely but even w 4 dumps i cant do it as the water evaporates quickly and during the night it evaporates even more, as the water sources are down stream i would have to build a big damn and transport it manually (i am trying to do that but as you can see in the background theres still a long way to go, is there any other efficient methods of filling it up with water?
p.s- i have a large water tank beside the stairway which is cut off from the picture so my water is transported faster but that also doesnt work

Trying to bring reactor 2 online to supply materials for the rest of the plates. A bright and green future awaits us!

Using bad water in breeding pod to breed hoomans are fake new spread by eco-terrorists.

*modded to increase max build height as the Beavra Horse Power Company Building need to fit more stairs.

Any tips for the next ones?

THE WALL OF POWER. One entire side of the map, gravity batteries built at the maximum height for a grand total of 7.9 million hph. Automatic battery charge levels, red 0-50%, yellow 50-80%, and green 80-100%.

I just wanted to show when i posted my decal mod yesterday.

Steam Workshop Link

Let’s be honest: The developers gave us an incredible modding engine for 1.0, but the vanilla UI leaves us totally blind.

You shouldn't have to wait until your 100-hour mega-colony hard-crashes to the desktop to find out that two of your mods are secretly fighting over the same files. I got tired of the "guess and pray" method of installing mods, so I spent the last three weeks building a total UI replacement for the official Timberborn Mod Contest.

I wanted the community to have the tools that modern AAA games have.

The Mod Menu features:

• Conflict Scanner & Risk Indicators: It reads your assemblies, detects if a mod is using Harmony, and warns you if two mods are clashing before you launch your save.
• DAG Graph: A fully interactive, draggable dependency map so you can visually trace exactly how your mods rely on each other.
• Seamless "Mod Settings" Integration: Full, inline support for eMkaQQ's Mod Settings. Tweak mod configurations directly in the inspector panel without opening secondary menus (and yes, my mod still works flawlessly even if you don't have Mod Settings installed!).
• Native Workshop Browser & Publisher: Search, subscribe, and batch-download Steam dependencies without leaving the game. If you're a developer, you can even publish your own mods to Steam directly from the UI.
• 15 Built-in Lumberpunk Themes: Swap out the UI colors dynamically without restarting. (Because staring at that default green box was getting exhausting).
• Loadout Profiles & Base64 Sharing: Swap between "Vanilla+" and "Hardcore" playstyles in one click, or export a text code to share your exact mod-pack with the community.

It’s built with a "Safety-First" non-destructive architecture. If you are running more than 3 mods, please do yourself a favor, take the guesswork out of your load order, and protect your save files.

Take a look at the GIF above and let me know what you guys think! If you have any feature requests, drop them here or on the Workshop page.

trying to keep a bunch of water in this funnel

The valves up top are set to unlimited and the bottom ones are set to 0.65

the water just leaks out the sides of the channel leading to it

i thought the valves are supposed to be one way why is this happening?

Keystone — ecology mod for Timberborn

Beavers are nature's keystone species. With Keystone, they take it further — caretakers of the land, bringing a whole world back to life.

Bring water to every corner of the map and life follows. Cattails creep into slow side channels and fish thread through them. Deer roam mature forest. Cattle find established grassland. Rocks tan in the sun, darken in the rain. Poisoned ground stays scarred long after the source is gone.

Nothing's painted on the map. A simulation reads every part of your terrain — water, plants, contamination — and biomes form themselves. Healthy land builds slowly; lapses heal; damage leaves traces.

Beavers benefit too: three new Nature needs, satisfied at shrines, lidos, and other nature-related buildings near healthy biomes. Works with Folktails, Iron Teeth, Leaf Coats, and Emberpelts.

Coming next: sea/ocean biomes (whales, manta rays), polyculture-vs-monoculture farming, more variety throughout.
