Timberborn recently received its first major update that added new content and bug fixes.
In Update 1, developers added different types of mechanical water pumps. The Mechanical Water Pump sucks the water from below and dumps it at a higher level. The Compact Water Wheel can be unlocked by players at the start of the game and it provides a surge of hydro energy in the early game.
The developers also fixed an issue where the FPS would drop after players mark a large area of land for tree-cutting. Several crashing issues have been resolved as well in the latest update.
Timberborn Update 1
New Attractions
- New building: Lido (250 SP; 40 logs, 30 planks; can only be built on a riverbank). You wanted the swimming pools, and here they are. Lidos satisfy Fun.
- New building: Mud Bath(1800 SP; 50 gears, 50 treated planks, 30 water; 50 HP). Rivers aren’t always available but getting down and dirty (with bubbles!) can be Fun too.
- New building: a little beaver secret, totally not leaked before and not shown in the feature trailer. Enjoy your spiritual holidays!
