Thank you Mechanistry for sponsoring this video.

Humans are long gone. In a world struck by droughts and toxic waste, will your lumber-punk beavers do any better? A city-building game featuring ingenious animals, vertical architecture, water physics, and terraforming. Contains high amounts of wood.

HELLO! I am back from vacation and why haven't I tried this game before?! I LOVE IT!

Enjoy this episode and please leave some tips and tricks for the upcoming episodes! Have an amazing weekend!
PS. Cities Skylines 2 will be back the coming week! ♥

You should definitely prioritize building dams, they will trap the water in the river during drought season and keep your crops growing.

Little tip Keralis... Do NOT worry about the dying beavers, that is simply a constant with the game. Your beavers WILL die at some point but that point can be increased by increasing their happiness level, the more fun things and decorations as well as varieties of food will increase the happiness level.
Also make sure to have enough open beds in houses so they can reproduce and keep a steady flow of new beavers to fill in for the ones dying of old age. Oh yeah "Died of Old Age" is actually what you want to see when beavers do end up dying, "Died of Starvation/Dehydration" is BAD and means you need more water pumps/storage and more food production/storage.

I was worried there for a few minutes, but you survived! Great job 👍😁

You asked for tips from experienced players, so here's mine: to maximise power from water wheels, instead of putting them next to each other across the river, build them one after another in a narrow channel (made with levees), then dam off the rest of the river.
You get more power that way because water flows faster through narrower channels, and faster water provides more power.

Also, you express doubt about how well you're going a couple of times, but honestly you're doing great. You've got a forester & tree farm, a plenty of food growing, and a solid water supply chain going. All you need now is a dam to keep water around so those farms keep growing during droughts and you're golden!
Looking forward to seeing how you develop beaverton ❤

You can run stairs and a path through shallow water. Has the added benefit of giving you wet fur bonus. Get levees and dams into block off the river during the drought and stop pumping drinking water unless you absolutely need it so you can preserve the water in the reservoir

He's back - sunshine and smiles for all 😂

i saw RCE play this and i am happy that another content creator is playing the game

[Skibitth]

Perfect timing! I was curious to see this game and no one is more perfect than you to do a series ❤

[therealtastyturnip]

If you build a dam with dam pieces your crops won't die during the drought. (also make sure to turn off the water pumps during the drought so you don't pump up all of the water)

[dumbideas]

I love this game. Adding Keralis just make sit 100 times better.

17:38 "Food situation? Terrible" Keralis says, staring at a field full of carrots ready to harvest

[terminatorams]

Keralis' soothing chill nature goes so well with games of this style. Perfect for morning coffee chilling, love it.

[JTSCORPIO]

Keralis's voice I could listen to him talk all day his voice is so soothing ❤

[thomasdemortier]

Absolutely enjoyed this episode ! You should build a dam down the river, they keep some water in during droughts so you can keep farming and pumping

[BallisticWof]

I think you need to make some sort of dam or reservoir to hold lots of water for when you get droughts.

Riddle : Who comes from the Great North, as a large beard and makes jingle the bell of your inner child? It's ASMR ( Arek Super Marvelous Resonance) Keralis for sure! If I may give you tips, I'll encourage you to consider the storage capacity management. Food never rots, so any food production depends on the storage capacity. Potatoes having white flowers when grown, it's an easy way to check on how il's going. On the other hand, wood production works the same but an oversized planks, gears and so, could induce a log crisis. So be sure to have a well balanced storage management because the key of this game is to anticipate your future projects. And you 're going to want BIG ones. Your population depends on your number of house, so be sure to have a large amount of food and water capacity before going cracra on housing. For now, your main goal should be to handle the drough, remembering waterpumps pump water. So glad to see you back on those colony builder games, secretly hoping you cacth a glimpse on Going Medieval because your gameplay and skills would suit perfectly ! Greetings,

Absolutely love that you are playing this! 

A few tips:

- Dams are very important, if you have a big enough dam, you will be able to last through most droughts and continue to grow crops & trees
- Dams, water gates etc. slow the speed of the water down so plan have your water wheels generate power in an area where you don't need the water dammed up
- You'll want to move away from water power production quickly so you are independent of the water flow
- Beavers consume +-2.5 food and 2.25 water per day so you can estimate how much food/water you need off that
- "work place priority" is very important to manage your super important roles in the settlements. Food, Water and logs are all super important so having these placed with a high priority means you'll always be producing enough

[marxmaiale]

The Beavers can build up and down 1 level from where they stand. Use it to your advantage, Windmills on platforms above the path.
This game is all about resource management, in particular Water management. Use Levee's and Dam's effectively to keep your green areas green, and the poo water way from the green stuff.

[victorcast]

Papa K, I don't know how your beavers survived so many dry seasons without a dam, but please build one 😂.
You could also delete the shaft between the two power wheels and shove a third one there.
