Timberborn Patch 3 Notes – December 15, 2022

New storage system

The new system helps you avoid a situation where they get clogged up by an overproduced good and can’t take another (for example, with golem heads taking up the room you need for food). It makes it easier to manage resources across the colony, see what is stored where, and how much room is left for each good.

Updated all related buildings functionally and visually, and added a few additional ones.

Warehouses no longer accept all goods at the same time. The player picks a single good that will be stored in a particular warehouse. You can change your selection at any time but before beavers start bringing the new resource, they will remove the old one.
The new system also applies to all piles and tanks. These buildings are now universal, allowing you to choose what should be stored inside (including many goods that used to be stored in warehouses).
Warehouses are now wall-less, exposing the stored goods as stacks of crates. The number of crates indicates the warehouse’s occupancy.
Crates and barrels carried by beavers or stored in warehouses are now painted with a different color and an icon depending on the resource.
Warehouse, pile and tank entrances are now decorated with banners representing the goods stored inside.
Piles are no longer good-specific, as you can pick what’s stored inside. Goods stored in Piles are: Logs, Dirt, Planks, Treated Planks, Scrap Metal, Metal Blocks.
Tanks are no longer good-specific, as you can pick what’s stored inside. Goods stored in Tanks are: Water, Biofuel, Catalyst, Maple Syrup, Medicine.

New building:Small Warehouse(3 logs; capacity: 30; Solid) – a cute 1×1 cube to fill all these random empty tiles!
Updated building:Medium Warehouse(15 logs; capacity: 200; Solid).
Updated building:Large Warehouse(250 SP to unlock; 60 logs, 80 planks; capacity: 1200; Solid) – also now has a new, cuboid shape.
New building:Small Pile(Folktails-only; 3 logs; capacity: 20).
New building:Small Industrial Pile(Iron Teeth-only; 4 logs; capacity: 20; Solid).
Updated building:Large Pile(Folktails-only; 6 logs; Solid; capacity: 180). Yes, it can now be placed on top of platforms and other buildings.
Updated building:Large Industrial Pile(Iron Teeth-only; 12 logs; capacity: 180; Solid).
Replaced Underground Warehouse withUnderground Pile(1800 capacity, 20 Logs, 80 Planks, 40 Gears; ground-only). The new building is also Folktails-exclusive but it is used to store large amounts of Pile-specific materials such as logs.
Updated building:Small Tank(15 logs; capacity: 30); it is now also a 1×1 building.
Updated building:Medium Tank(120 SP to unlock; 30 planks, 20 gears; capacity: 300); it is now a 2×2 building without that weird L-shaped entrance.
Updated building:Large Tank(600 SP to unlock; 80 planks, 60 gears, 30 metal blocks; capacity: 1200).
All warehouses, tanks, and piles now feature an Accept/Obtain/Empty toggle.
If set to “Accept”, the storage simply accepts the selected good. This is the default setting.
If set to “Obtain”, the colony’s haulers will do their best to actively fill the storage by picking up the selected good from other warehouses and transferring it here. This happens on top of the normal “Accept” behavior. This button is hidden if there are no Hauling Posts in a district.
If set to “Empty”, the storage no longer accepts goods. Its inventory will be cleared up and moved elsewhere.
Removed the often-misunderstood “Desired” setting and the “Distribute goods between warehouses when idle” checkbox – under the new system, they became obsolete.
Removed the “Storage is full” status. It is no longer possible for one resource to clog up a warehouse meant for multiple goods, and so full storage is no longer a critical problem requiring the player’s attention.
Each good’s tooltip in the top bar now contains information on that good’s exact numbers and where it can be stored.
Added an occupancy indicator next to each good listed in the top left of the screen. One of the benefits of the new storage system is that it is now possible to calculate a reliable occupancy rate.
Added a storage overlay to the game. Hold Tab or toggle it using a button under the season forecast to instantly see all your warehouses, piles, and tanks, what goods are inside, and how filled each storage is.

Beavers bots

Renamed golems to bots as that seems more appropriate in the world of beaver engineers.
Redesigned the models and animations for all bots.
Renamed Cogheads to Ironbots.
Renamed Barrelbots to Timberbots.

Built-in screenshot tool

We’re doing our part in the eternal war against screenshots taken with a phone.

Added the Screenshot tool. F10 saves a screenshot in the current resolution, Ctrl+F10 saves an upscaled screenshot (for example in 4K instead of Full HD).
Screenshots are stored in the Screenshots folder (by default: C:\Users[user]\Documents\Timberborn\Screenshots). Please note that because of their size, screenshots are not synchronized with the cloud.

UI

Large Science Points and resource numbers (1000+) displayed in the top bar are now shortened (69420 becomes 69.4k, for example). The numbers are rounded down to minimize confusion, and you can hover over them to see the exact numbers.
Recipes, prioritized resources etc. are now picked using dropdown lists.
In Settings, you can now lock the in-game cursor to a single monitor.
Updated the Wellbeing/Settlement Panel button.
The SP unlock cost is now green if you have sufficient SP numbers.
Updated the Priority panel for demolishing to be consistent with the construction and workplace priorities.
Buildings in the Settlement Panel are now sorted alphabetically based on the translated names – except for warehouses, which are sorted by type and capacity
Made several other tweaks to the UI.

Audio

Updated selection sounds for the following buildings: Aquatic Farmhouse, Breeding Pod, District Center, Engine, Farmhouse, Floodgate, Gatherer Flag, Large Windmill, Lido, Lumberjack Flag, Observatory, Scavenger Flag, Shrine, Small Windmill, Smelter, Stream Gauge, Water Dump.

Misc.

Hidden somebeaver secretsin the game. Who will find them first?
Slightly improved game loading times.
Made some minor GPU-related optimizations.
When attempting to load an incompatible savefile, you will no longer be able to load it anyway.
When attempting to load a broken savefile, the game will crash much sooner (and not after a minute or so of anxious waiting).
Fixed resources in Iron Teeth’s Industrial Piles poking through the floors.
Updated the default worker number for Builders’ Hut to 4/4, up from 2/4, to match the building’s late-game use.
The game no longer supports raw .json files. We moved to the .timber format a good while ago but if you used some very old maps that were never updated, they will be affected.
Idle workers of all professions will help empty warehouses and drop-off points.
It is now possible to adjust the maximum worker number in paused buildings.

Bug fixes

Fixed a bug with bots assigning themselves to Dirt Excavators and quitting right after discovering how dangerous that job is.
Fixed the collider for Power Wheel.
Restored the misplaced “Prioritize by haulers” button on Breeding Pods.
Fixed the range preview not showing up when placing a new District Center.
Fixed several small translation errors, including the Japanese text that was displayed vertically.
Fixed the incorrect recipe diagram in the Engine’s panel.
It is no longer possible to enter spaces and other invalid symbols in the “Minimum” field in the Migration panel.
Fixed the incorrect “Entrance Blocked” warning.
Fixed the incorrect warning for Barriers set to be demolished.
Alerts in the bottom left corner will now correctly update when the game is paused.
Windows key is no longer read as Ctrl on Windows.
Fixed a bug with buildings not behaving correctly after deleting their parent District Center.
Fixed a rare crash caused by beavers dying while the selected building’s settings were being modified
Increased the Minimum relative terrain height for the brushes in the map editor from 0 to 1. Yay, now they always do something!
