It's always interesting how stoically KZfaqrs ignore when games are warning them about their mistakes, then act all surprised by the consequences xD

Builds warehouse for food, forgets to connect the roads making it useless. Classic Sky.

Gee... I sure am glad that YT decided that this video needs "Context" from the UN on climate change -- 🎶 "The more you know" 🎵

Please check your warning signals occasionally. You got several buildings which were unconnected for quite a while, the forester got no planks (because the lumber mill got no power). And then at some point you got beavers stranded under the stairs. Some more suggestions: → spread out the water tanks in your colony (e.g. near working places or houses), so the thirsty beavers don't have to walk that far and can continue with what they were doing earlier. (Same with food stocks, and resources needed for your industry and building.) →You could also put your water pumps directly to the reservoir, instead of letting the water out. But I guess the effect is similar at the end. → Your farming space needs to be more than what you have here to sustain 30 beavers.

15 minutes later, screaming at the television "oh my god connect a road to the lumberjack!!! Read the warnings!!!!" Lol

41:06 "We're up to 13 beavers now." In other words a standard night for Charles Vane at the local tavern.

Omg the paths not going to the lumberjack and storage was driving me crazy.

30:00 "Look at all these thirsty beavers" I lost it, lol

The fact you get away after building that huge reservoir while crisis is amazing

A beaver stuffing good time.

Tip: If you put the workforce priority of haulers building on low or lowest, the other buildings are filled automaticly without having to micromanage. Also you can put the haulers building on 10 workforce. Just have to remember that in this case the first 10 jobs unfilled are the haulers, not the primaries. ;-)

Glad to see you back! Love watching you play this game. Would also love to see a new Tavern Master series and Surviving the Aftermath series!

So glad to see you back. Was beginning to think this break might have been permanent, thankfully it wasnt.

Moral of the episode folks, keep your beaver hydrated and constantly stuffed with carrots...

I see your having fun with the editing now! I do appreciate the zooming in on things, as with compression and different screen sizes, it can be hard to see some of the UI. Though you may want to tame it down a touch as I’m sure it will become quite irritating for some people. But I really do like it thanks! Keep up the good work skye

Hi, nice to see you back again :)

The next QoL improvement from the devs should be if you mark for trees/food to be built it marks everything else for destruction.

Great start of the series can't wait for the next episode.

I'm happy you're back Skye! Loving your hard mode content :)

Hey missed you! This is a great game to start back in on!

Love your vids Skye. One of few KZfaqrs where it really doesn't matter to me what you make content on, I will watch it! I know you've been away for a while and I really hope you're doing OK! :)

"Some of you may die, but it is a sacrifice I'm willing to make."

Welcome back Skye! Excellent video!. I was planning on checking out KoS's videos of this game for the longest time but never got around to it. Considering I'm Canadian, it really should be no-brainer that I'd love this game. You still have that magic of convincing me to try another game out. Thanks for that!.........oh one last thing...... you ever gonna finish building London in Cities???? ;)

I've waited for this FOUR THOUSAND YEARS!

I did something similar on this map, but I lined the entire length of the river on the top level with levees as far as the first dam to match the level of the rear bank of the river so the entire thing ended up as a 2 deep water source. Even extended out a bit at the water fall end to create a water farm area

I think you needed more storage tanks. I worked on getting the big ones made (think we needed cogs for them) and I had a bunch of smaller ones for emergencies. In my most recent drought, one of my reservoirs started to dry up, so I just open the floodgates further up stream and let more water in. The Plains are probably way easier though.

You had me laughing the whole episode love this game keep up the great work

Welcome back sky really miss your videos hope you and picture are doing well

Super great to have you back, Skye! Looking forward to more content! My 2 cents on the editing in this episode is it's a little distracting, but I always appreciate good editing and applaud you for trying something new!

3:44, bad move, always leave a few trees unmarked until you unlock and build a forester, just gives you some leeway on the log front until then, even then I usually have the forester plant and grow the maple trees prior to finally cleaning house of the crappy trees

I was screaming for the life of the stranded beaver hahaha

La sainte CUVE !!!!!

Au mon dieu c'est.... c'est LA CUUUVE !!!

Happy to see some new videos, Skye!!

I love to see you back with good vids! Missed you!

MAIS... MAIS ! LA CUVE ! LA PAROLE DU BOB LENNON QUI S'ETEND ! LA CUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUVE ! translation: BUT... BUT ! THE RESERVOIR ! THE WAY OF BOB LENNON (french youtuber) IS SPREADING ! THE RESERVOOOOOOOIIIIIIIIR !

37:49, you've got them prioritising planting here, should always set to harvesting, they'll plant after

With the farmhouses, I think it'd be slightly more efficient to set one of them to prioritize harvesting instead of having both prioritize planting. With two farmhouses, one set to plant and the other set to harvest, it should keep a steadier flow of crops. Another thing I've seen some people do is a sort of irrigation trick. You put four levees in a cross-shaped configuration, leaving the center open (making it kinda resemble the d-pad on a controller), then place a water dump on top, so it pours into the middle tile. That tile, blocked from flowing anywhere, then irrigates the land around it, allowing for more crops, berries, trees, or even just green grass instead of lifeless brown dirt. But it's good to see your unique brand of crazy back.

So i found on this map instead of marking all the trees at top you can make a grid so you dont need a forester for replanting trees will spread automatically.

Just started watching this. It's so reminiscent of Banished.

Hell yeah. more of this please.

I know its edited, but man, the drought pic in the thumbnail looks great. Wish we could mod it to look that wasteland-y.

Man, it's been a few years since I watched you. Feels great to be back!

also, in early game, when you no longer have trees to harvest...take away two of the three tree cutters instead of the science position. science is really important, and the tree cutters didn't have trees to cut down anyways.

What a tumultuous start!

Great video, thanks man. Just started the game!

Love this game

What are the odds that I just started this map on hard mode for the first time this morning?! I built things in the same areas and even had the same hunger die-off after the population grew and the farm had nothing ready. Only real diff was I flooded that hole down by the lower tree farm instead of building hoover dam 😂. Great video!

I can't say how happy I am to see you back at it Skye... oh wait, I guess I can. I'm happy. cheers

The Skye man is back, and working those beavers! Huzzah

Nice to ear you again! 😁 always good to see you play

I've been waiting for you to do a new season on this from you glad the beavers didn't all die

Food problem was because you set the farm to prioritise planting over harvesting, which halves their efficiency as the will replant the crop before harvesting the next one.

so in hard mode, one thing you may wish to consider for future is UNSELECTING a few trees in an area so they can spread naturally. If not, it is (technically) possible to deplete a map of REACHABLE wood resources and without such, you cannot build stairs and the game is over.

Glad to see you back! :D

omg, you're back! great to see you again, I missed your videos ❤

you should have gone as close as possible to a perfect square, this is the best volume/cost ratio

Ah I'm seeing your video after like years and it feels really good btw I started watching you from transport fever I remember the good old days

It’s like watching someone take the first step of a 1000 mile journey

IM SO HAPPY, YOURE BACK WITH THE BEAVERS YESSSSSSSSSS

La CUVE !!!!

OH seeing those beavers dying of starvation was so hard to watch 😣

From the thumbnail I thought it was a Minecraft mod or something... I pleasantly surprise to see that it wasn't and that this game is great, time to binge watch this series.

'Look at all these thirsty beavers' Mood

Yoo my man welcome back!!

Skye's first episode is a full 10 episodes for most, lol

I was wondering what happen... No videos, no news... Glad to see you back

Welcome to timberporn!

new editing! very nice👍

the last 90 s are pure gold ;)

yay !! more !!

Glad to see you back Skye. Always miss your content when you’re not posting.

Welcome back once again Skye, didn't realise an update had come along, but will certainly check it out myself once I'm home. Look forward to some hard wood and wet beaver adventures! Should be a good series. Ps, love the new edits, just don't over do it :) Pps, no good dam gets built without sacrifice, the trapped beaver was a sacrifice! Lol

Sky, Can you build a Water Collector on top of the Res? So if the river dries they can still get it from the Res..

The beavers in their natural habitat!

Skye is back and there was much rejoicing.

Holy crap, we have some Skye content, yay!

The unconnnected buildings makes me crazy...

Great video, love your content sky. Would you ever consider re-visiting old games like oxygen not included or banished?

Welcome back!!

omg that was chaotic to watch... lmao. i was screaming at my screen way too many times but it made for great content to see a normal person play some timberborn and make the same mistakes we make from time to time. but omg it was killing me to see him pumping during the drought. 0-0

You don't have to build a reservoir like that as it will take up to much land space which could be used for farming or trees. instead I recommend just increasing the river height. the one layer of water will last about a 15 day drought, two high water will last like 30 ect. ect. meaning a 4 high river should last you 60 days. you can either build the river upwards with levees or downwards with TNT whichever is easier I suppose, but this map is actually really easy to survive in on hard mode, it is just a bit difficult to thrive in and expansion can grind to a crawl due to limited space for trees.

Anyone also has the feeling you are watching Dora the explorer? Screaming against the screen: Skye, you forgot to connect the warehouse!😂

The man's back

YeaY the beavers are back!!!!!!!

Oui mais LA CUUUVE

I need this man to read me a book rn

Wet fur 😂 10:36

Welcome back!!!

Beaver plants bush.

Welcome back mate, it hasnt been the same without you.

the stranded beavers getting ignored was bad, but letting so many of them die because you focused your time into the reservoir was horrible to watch. you should start with 1 high, and grow as you could. that way, you could have focused more on food and no one would have died.

Dungeon Keeper lighting sound intro

Woooowwww, that was close to not having a EP2 hahahaha

anyone has to think about Homer Simpson his WOHOO! :D

Wow... if I was a beaver I surely wouldn't want to live in a town managed by you😅

Hard mode is hard. In my latest have my beavers died down from 60+ to 5 adults while I was making my giant reservoir. Then again died down to 20 after the population had rebounded. Water storage and water dumps are essential to staying alive in hard mode. Water evaporates from the reservoir, not from storage tanks.

So glad to see you back have missed your videos!! Keep doing what you do!

rip to the hungry guys

I'm surprised you survived with a farm that small
