Timberborn | Episode 2 | 2025 Guide for Complete Beginners
12Humans are long gone. In a world struck by droughts and toxic waste, will your lumberpunk beavers do any better? A city-building game featuring ingenious animals, vertical architecture, water physics, and terraforming. Contains high amounts of wood. In this Complete Beginner's Guide to Timberborn, I start a brand new game so you can play along with me as I explain the very basics of the game, drawing on my own experience and the great advice I have received from viewers. This guide is non-spoilery, and does not focus on the "best" or "fastest" builds, perfection, speed runs, but rather lays out the fundaments of the UI, the controls, how to build, grow, research, harvest, survive, some tips and tricks, and the overall strategy of the game so you can best enjoy it on your own terms. I don't prescribe a singular method, but rather expose the tools and shortcuts in the game so you enjoy Timberborn at your own pace!
