While the building cost is relatively high, it makes up for it when comparing the power output to the compact water wheel. At this point, with all of the wheels affecting the water flow, the fluctuation was fairly high and the total power oscillated between 1580-1710. Could you let us build platforms over them please. 1. Otherwise there needs to be an automatic (wind-powered) pump that can move water into a reservoir and then use that to turn a waterwheel on demand. Build a complete dam across a river and you'll be able to save some water for a Drought. Timberborn. I think the best is a mix, water wheels don't work during droughts, windmills only work intermittently depending on the wind, beaver power is the least space efficient and requires beavers to run. (Location is at the bottom of the water falls before the channel. Ie. 5, 1, and 1. Especially since they now generate power based on the speed of the water. Consumption. The rest of the water is supplied by the pump and dump arrangement that feeds into the waterwheels. Am I missing something?If you build some levees or dams on the far side of the river towards the wheel it will narrow the river and force more water under the wheel. You need a 2x5 block space free below the axel, and you need that space to be free of blocks for at least 2 spaces below the axel. The official subreddit of Timberborn, a city-building game featuring ingenious beavers, dams, vertical…I had a 2 depth, 1 width river, and put large power wheels side by side to use it all. You can connect the one side to your lumbermill, and at the other side, if there is space, you can attached a 2nd waterwheel to your excisting waterwheel. The wind mill never produced between 0 and 20% power. I guess you need a good balance of pump capacity to keep up with the river's flow, power to even run what i assume would be a ton of pumps, a large and deep enough reservoir and tanks to store all of it and a large enough population to consume that. I'm trying to figure out the best locations to place a water wheel. But you can build a dam with dam blocks in the middle and levee blocks on both sides to save some wood. e. Reply. A canal of 2 flow sources 1 CMS (width 2 ), depth of 1 , water height 0. I. 5x speed. The large water wheel must be placed on a river with flowing water or it will not generate any power. Water height has no real effect. Make a second layer of taller dams behind as a reservoir. Promethian Oct 11, 2021 @ 5:11pm. You could have build both the water wheel and the gear factory directly adjoint and needed no shaft. It's a 1 block wide empty space (filled with platforms only so the beavers could walk past it during the build). . The Mechanical Fluid Pump is built with 100 Gears, 50 Treated Planks, and 50 Metal Blocks . A canal of 2 flow sources 1 CMS (width 2 ), depth of 1 , water height 0. probably already evaporated /s. Not directly flooding (like just building up the edge of the map), but to redirect and store all water. Time lapse: 6-7 hours. If the wind was.

Pumping depth. Make water wheels more expensive, but create much more power. New building: Large Water Wheel. That would allow more complex irrigation and show why water wheels lose power randomly. The compact water wheel is unlocked at the start of the game and is the only power generation option to the Iron Teeth at the beginning along with the Power Wheel. For Large Windmill, see Large Windmill. The durations were irregular not 3 per day. Compact water wheels are cheap and good for the early game, but you ideally want to use large water wheels once you unlock them. Early in the game, you can provide power with water and power wheels. Due to the mechanics of the water system in Timberborn, it's actually possible to create a closed circulating water system, with strategic placement of through-flow blocks, resulting in power from water wheels long after the flow of water has stopped. 5 increments controlled by you (0, 0. Why is the bottom one generating 4 times what the top one is? Iniciar sesión TiendaI was curious to what extent building "extra" windmills would smooth out the irregular production. but-uh • 2 yr. A windmill will generate anywhere from 0 to 200 hp . ago. Ah, thank you for the physics lesson! Timberborn > General Discussions > Topic Details. The waterwheels have resistance so the water will take the path of least resistance and just flow around it instead of under it, 2 things you can do is use a bunch of the smaller wheels, or force the water under the wheel by building levees to force the water to do what you want. The starting drop is 2 tiles if that's necessary information btw. Floodgates can be set at 0. Folktails need another 3-4 hours for socializing, and really more like 5-6 when temples & carousels are built, because every hour spent praying. Adding an overlay to show water flow direction and maybe have arrows to indicate the force. In order to swim to the other side of the river, the beaver will have to descend the stairs to the river.

So if you place the support on a river bank, the river needs to be 2 deep where the large water wheel goes. Make beavers in the thread mill age quicker (maybe?) Make thread mills have culture meters of surrounding beavers decay more quickly. Bends in the river also affect things, of course. Collect scrap metal from submerged skyscraper ruins (as long as the Scavenger Flag is above water). you must build the water wheel there, were the flow is the strongest, to get the highest power out of it. Muppethero Sep 26 @ 7:15am. I typically put it just after the little inlet where you can destroy the debris (just SW of DC) and have my water wheels just downstream. Timberborn. like 3-5 times as much). They don't get normal water wheels, but they do get compact water wheels and large water wheels. The large water wheel must be placed on a river with flowing water or it will not generate any power. The placement of water wheels is extremely finicky on certain maps. Why I decided to flood my entire district to make a fountain: When I was suggesting my friend to play Timberborn, he said it was only a game building a big dam and store enough water before drought and loop forever, So I decide to transform the entire mountain into a fountain (and spill water everywhere for fun).
