Timberborn Experimental - All The Districts - Water and Food Problems
5Lets try a new challenge. Each district must be responsible for a single building, so, one district for farmhouses, one for grills, etc, etc. We're going to need lots of districts, and a complicated distribution system to keep all our beavers alive, sounds like fun.

Terraforming is here!
Unlocking golems now has an extra perk - you get the workers that handle the terraforming business, a.k.a. excavating dirt and putting up new land blocks. It is an entirely new in-game system so please keep an eye for sand bugs and share your feedback about this initial iteration!
New building: Dirt Excavator (2000 SP; 100 Treated Planks, 100 Gears, 50 Metal; 4 workers - Golems only; requires 200 HP to operate). This metal monstrosity excavates a new resource, Dirt, from below, drilling deeper and deeper. Once it reaches the map’s bottom it will continue mining without destroying terrain.
New building: Dirt Pile (500 SP; 100 Planks, 25 Metal). Guess what, this is where you keep all your precious Dirt.
New building: Terraforming Station (750 SP; 200 Treated Planks, 30 Metal; 4 workers - Golems only). Golems employed here take on the dangerous job of putting up new terrain blocks.
New “building”: Terrain Block (6 Dirt). Once you have gathered enough Dirt, you can start placing new blocks. Even though they’re cubes, it is crucial to rotate them correctly - golems from the Terraforming Station build them in the order indicated by arrows. Use this mechanism to stop golems from blocking access to planned construction sites and to prevent cutting off the builders.
In short, golems are mechanized beavers that perform most duties of regular beavers. They’re very efficient and don’t worry about mundane things such as food or sleep. On the other hand, they need to be assembled, powered and maintained in special buildings. Golems of each faction have unique strengths and life cycles, and if not cared for, they pose a danger to their masters.
Golems enter the fray around mid-game and change how Timberborn is played, especially at the later stages. At the same time, they make the game more sandbox-y – they're a powerful, yet optional tool to be used as you see fit.
