![]() If all droughts were like the first 2-3 cycles. The whole driving force of the game is the worsening droughts. Will help immeasurably in the early days. Prioritize areas with greenery so you can also make a small vilage there. Expand to have builders there to plug the hole. It will also have gaps that will flood your beavers, putting a hard cap on how tall your dam can be. But easier maps (esp not player made maps), will have natural terain that you can use to help you build your dam. The hardest of hard maps will force you to build every inch of your dam. #2 Plug holes in the natural part of your dam. Easy to farm, hardy in case of drought, quick to harvest. Where you expand, probably only grow carrots. Transport only potatoes (not baked) and flower. Find green spot, plant trees, plant some food. Build tall, not wide.įrom this battery, let water fall into your starting area to keep it full.Įxpand on the map with exactly 2 goals in mind. Only tiles of water exposed to the air (top most) evaporate. Make a larger dam behind your starting area. Evaporation is a bitch, and pumping out water means you will eventually drain your small puddle. But any good map will be designed in such a way that only the starting area is super easy to dam, and that this super easy dam just won't last much. You will place 1 level of levee or what have you to contain some water to pump out even during droughts, and have greenery for crops. Unless a map was designed in a specific way, you will start near a water source that is by no means sufficient. The chadzillas with their 6 tile super tube don't need to worry so much. This is super important for hippie beavers with their microscopic water pump tube. Once you have enough resources and stockpiles, slowly demolish your river-line and start raising it's walls.Ĭreate artificial lakes or accumulation lakes where you pour water from your main dam to have accessible water. Dump water from it into your starting area reservoir. Make a second layer of taller dams behind as a reservoir. The only correct way to play the game is to dam the river. It should not be your main source of water. ![]() They are an "upsie" bumper, in case you misscalculate or don't pay attention. You will fall further and further behind. There isn't much of a point in having drinking water if you can't get planks / gears / paper / wheat. The 15 storage of the pump is just not enough.īuild too much of it => it hardly stores any water at all => you barely survive, have a small population, spend too much precious logs on a wasted building that does nothing except prolongue the inevitable doom.īuild way too much of it => you can sustain a large population, but you can't build anything else, long drought comes and you die.īuilding large water barrels costs gears that you could be using on windmils. But if you are relying on it, you've already failed.īuild no storage => no visual indicator of trouble => Death. The small water tanks are absolute flaming garbage.
