Beaver city-builder Timberborn confirmed for launch on March 5

Easily one of the best city-builders around, Timberborn is set to leave Early Access on March 5th with a big update to the game. With the 1.0 release there's going to be a lot of tweaks and additions, but there doesn't seem to be a clear changelog on exactly what yet. There's also a new lore trailer: Direct Link During the Early Access period it has gone through multiple major upgrades, some highlights for any returning players: - Building out the two beaver factions into vastly different organizations, altering their paths of progress ( including different food production chains, buildings, and architecture) - The introduction of 3D water physics, 3D terrain, and expanding vertical architecture - Official mod and Steam Workshop support for all players - The addition of badwater and badtides—a dangerous new season, like droughts - The inclusion of end-game goals, AKA wonders, complementing the game’s sandbox loop. - The addition of bots and broadening the available building roster across all categories, from workshops to decorations - Addition of faction-specific mass transportation systems: speedy ziplines for the nature-loving Folktails and cutting-edge Tubeway tech for the industrious Iron Teeth - Expansion from 7 to 16 built-in maps It has a Platinum rating on ProtonDB, and it's Steam Deck Verified.
