Timberborn maps4/7/2023 ![]() After spending too much time in the heat of drought, beavers suffer from a heatstroke (read: -10% working speed and -10% walking speed). Now, we’re expanding this system to cover the post-apocalyptic fate of regular beavers, too. ![]() Temporary statuses and where to find themYou have already seen certain temporary statuses thanks to the addition of golems. We hope you'll like what we're adding today. At the same time, we have another area where we can add more raw, lore-friendly content - such as teeth grinders, dandelions, medical beds, and healer huts.The ability to add negative effects allows us to expand existing features when it makes sense, for example by adding stinging bees to Beehives, broken teeth for lumberjacks, and work injuries of varying likelihood and severity in workplaces.With overheating in place, droughts become a deeper threat that’s harder to ignore. Similarly, extended lack of sleep or shelter now meaningfully affects beavers’ behaviour.It did not have any bad consequences, except perhaps on the player’s conscience. ![]() Keeping your beavers starved or dehydrated used to be a good strategy to reduce food and water consumption - and you could fix an excessive hunger with a few carrots.Before, we had to shelve many cool ideas that, without any way to nerf them, could ruin the game’s difficulty curve. It’s a tool to counterbalance overpowered mechanics, both existing ones and those that we will introduce in the future.Let us explain why we’ve decided to torment your already miserable-at-times beavers with more negative effects. It’s a good moment for a follow-up to our developer’s log.
