Featuring a number of improvements, the team at Mechanistry has released the Badwater update for their city-builder Timberborn.
Scope out the full list of features that are part of Timberborn’s Badwater update below:
- Badwater Sources and Badtide seasons pollute waterways, contaminate beavers, and kill crops, creating a new gameplay loop and challenges for even the most-experienced player.
- New faction-specific Buildings to deal with contamination challenges and exploit badwater; water filtration barriers and seals join existing hydro engineering tools, while new production chains allow for curing beavers and powering up bots.
- Terraforming the landscape is no longer exclusive to bots, however, bots are now immune to Badwater contamination, making them more versatile workers. New types of dynamite allow for faster terra-forming the maps.
- New faction-specific Decorations and Attractions, from lanterns and hammocks to exercise plazas and beaver-compatible wind tunnels.
- Many Quality of Life additions, including custom keybinds, allowing players to flip asymmetrical buildings, and thumbnails for saves and custom maps.

Timberborn Update 5 – Badwater is live!
According to Mechanistry Communications Manager Michal Amielanczyk:
“Adding Badwater deepens gameplay and answers recurring requests for more in-game seasons. With two different fluids competing for space, players must be far more creative with water physics and irrigation to avoid contamination.”Michal Amielanczyk
For those who’d like to check out this title for themselves, Timberborn is available in Early Access on PC and Mac via Steam, GOG, and the Epic Game Store.
