Wood Production and Housing

Build your Timberborn settlement by establishing wood production with a Lumberjack Flag and Forester, and providing adequate Lodge housing for your beavers.

Wood is the foundational resource in Timberborn, essential for nearly every aspect of colony construction and development. The Lumberjack Flag is the primary means of acquiring wood, and its placement is critical. To maximize efficiency, position Lumberjack Flags in close proximity to abundant forest areas. However, simply cutting down trees is not a sustainable long-term strategy. Therefore, it is vital to research and construct a Forester building as early as possible. The Forester allows beavers to plant new saplings, ensuring a continuous and renewable supply of wood for generations to come. This foresight prevents the depletion of forests and maintains a steady flow of this vital resource.

Alongside wood production, providing adequate housing for your beaver population is a top priority. Lodge buildings are the standard for beaver accommodation. The goal should be to construct enough Lodges to house your current population comfortably, with a few extra spaces to accommodate natural population growth. A shortage of housing can lead to unhappy beavers and hinder expansion. Happy beavers are demonstrably more productive, so investing in sufficient and comfortable housing is a direct investment in your colony's overall efficiency and success. As your colony grows, you may need to expand your housing districts, ensuring that all beavers have a safe and comfortable place to rest.
