How to Redirect Water in Timberborn: Completing and Solving Techniques

Select Language:

When you begin playing Timberborn, the world feels full of possibilities. But as your beaver colony grows, you’ll quickly see that a lot can go wrong if you’re not careful. We’ll guide you on how to protect your beavers and keep them alive during tough conditions.

Before you get started, it’s important to understand how dams work. These structures are powerful tools that help your beavers manage water by redirecting it around your map. Let’s look at the different types of dams and how they can help your progress.

There are seven types of dam blocks, ranging from simple dams to large triple floodgates. Each one serves a specific purpose, mainly to control the water flow and prevent contaminated water from damaging your crops and beavers.

Here are all the dam blocks and how you can use them:

Building a dam is straightforward but requires some planning. Dams can be placed almost anywhere, though they are most effective when near water sources. Make sure to gather enough resources nearby so your beavers can efficiently build and move materials.

When constructing a dam, think ahead—water will build up and could spill over if there’s no outlet. It’s best to redirect water first before altering the terrain too much, to prevent flooding. Starting with floodgates is a smart choice because you can adjust the water flow as needed. This is especially useful during floods, allowing you to hold water back and let it stay in your reservoirs during dry spells.
