Although there is an in-game tutorial, there are a few players who have complained that this tutorialdoesn’t cover everything neededto start off on the right foot in the early game. There are a few players who need some beginner tips to start playing.

7Expand The Town

A player is going to start off with a very small town at first, which will be a good starting point at the beginning of the game. However, the player should most definitely start to expand their town as soon as possible; it should be one of the first priorities.

The town a player starts with will not have any of the bare necessities needed to properly prepare for hardship.A player needs to get to work expanding their townbefore they can really start to do anything in their game, including preparing for the dry season.

6Prepare For The Dry Season

There are two types of seasons inTimberborn- the wet season, and the dry season. The wet season is when the water sources are plentiful; essentially, when times are prosperous. The first dry season will hit the player around the 20th or so day.

When the dry season hits, it will become much harder to gather water,and all the water sources will temporarily dry out. An ill-prepared player willnotsurvive these dry seasons. As such, it is a good idea to dam up rivers or to stockpile on supplies such as food and water.

5Increase Open Job Slots As Soon As Possible

At first, a player is only going to have two job slots in their Builder’s Hut. This is alright for the very first days in the player’s game play, but it is a good idea to expand these slots as soon as a player can.

A player should take the time to increase their amount of job slots to at least four inTimberborn. This way,the player can get more beavers workingas soon as possible, and therefore they will be able to get more tasks completed in a shorter amount of time.

4Mark Trees For Harvest

A large part ofTimberbornis all the trees the player will be harvesting in order to gather up more resources.There will be plenty of trees for a player to harvestthroughout game play, and the beavers will start cutting down and harvesting trees the more a player goes on.

A player should get used to marking trees to be cut down. The beavers will not cut down any trees that are not marked, so a player needs to get used to marking them in order to tell the beavers where to go and which trees to harvest.

The colony a player starts with will start expanding the more a player starts to upgrade buildings and overall make the quality of life in their town better. However, a player should remember to strategically expand their town the more they play.

Generally, it is a good rule of thumb for a player to slowly expand their colony towards any particularly large forest.This way, beavers will not have to travel too farin order to start harvesting more trees. On top of this, the more the colony expands, the more trees are harvested.

2Spend Research Points Carefully

As the player progresses through the game, they will gather more and more Research Points to use on their colony. It would be a good idea for a player to take some time to think about what they want to spend their research points on.

Some buildings do need resources from structures that are unlocked with research points. For example,the Explosive Factory would need paper to operate. It is a good idea for a player to take some time to plan ahead and see what they would need to upgrade in order to achieve a specific task.

1Build A Log Pile, First Things First

One of the first things that a player should build is a Log Pile. This Log Pile is actually very important for game play, as it is used to - as to be expected - store the logs a Lumberjack cuts down.

Beavers will not cut down trees without a Log Pile (even if the trees are marked for harvest). Of course, a player should alsoremember to build a Water Pump, but the Log Pile is by far the most important thing to build, and should be the first thing a player prioritizes when it comes to building.
