Timberborn Patch Notes

## What changed - **Reserve storage buildings** — must now be emptied before deletion to prevent unintended loss of resources - **Water simulation** — further tweaks applied to reduce excessive sloshing behavior - **Earth Recultivator** — construction site can now be correctly selected when placed on Impermeable Floor - **Flow Sensors** — improved precision to correctly recognize zero values - **Flag building workers** — no longer attempt to gather resources blocked by closed Gates - **Farmers and foresters** — no longer attempt to plant and harvest in areas blocked by closed Gates - **District Center deletion** — fixed crash that occurred after removing a District Center ## Modding Tools - **Blend file example models** — now included in StreamingAssets directory and automatically imported by the Modding Tools' assets import feature ## Overall This patch improves resource management, water physics accuracy, worker pathfinding intelligence, and stability while expanding modding tool functionality.

## What changed - **Reserve storage buildings** — must now be emptied before deletion - **Water simulation** — tweaked to reduce excessive sloshing - **Flow Sensors** — now correctly recognize that zero equals zero - **Flag buildings** — workers no longer attempt to gather resources behind closed Gates - **Farmers and foresters** — no longer attempt to plant and harvest in areas blocked by closed Gates - **District Center** — fixed crash that occurred after deletion - **Earth Recultivator** — construction site can now be selected when placed on Impermeable Floor ## Bug Fixes - **Reserve storage deletion workflow** — now requires emptying contents first to prevent unintended data loss - **Water physics precision** — reduced oscillation behavior in water flow calculations - **Flow Sensor logic** — corrected boolean comparison error affecting sensor accuracy - **Gate blocking mechanics** — extended to prevent resource gathering and farming activities in blocked zones - **District Center deletion** — eliminated crash condition - **Earth Recultivator placement** — resolved selection conflict with Impermeable Floor tiles ## Overall Seven bugs were fixed addressing storage deletion, water physics, sensor logic, worker pathfinding around gates, crashes, and construction site selection.

## What changed - **Steam Deck UI scale** — game now initializes with increased UI scale for better legibility on Steam Deck - **Master Builder achievements** — game now remembers all structures ever built instead of only checking currently placed structures, making these achievements easier to obtain - **Well-being calculation** — average well-being now rounds to the nearest whole number instead of being floored, making max well-being easier to reach - **Fill Valve algorithm** — replaced with improved algorithm that better reaches the desired water level - **Dams and Floodgates** — added wave dampening to significantly reduce water sloshing - **Water pump exploit** — fixed the exploit - **Folktails breeding** — extra kits no longer spawn when loading a save with sleeping beavers - **Status icon positioning** — building particles no longer affect status icon placement - **Gate status icon** — fixed blurred appearance - **Number abbreviations** — Polish, Russian, Thai, and Ukrainian now use "k" and "m" for thousands and millions instead of longer abbreviations that broke UI formatting ## Overall Timberborn received quality-of-life improvements to water physics, achievement tracking, beaver breeding logic, and UI clarity across multiple languages.

## What changed - **Well-being calculation** — now uses true averaging rounded to nearest whole number instead of flooring, making max well-being easier to reach - **Fill Valve algorithm** — replaced with improved version that better reaches desired water levels - **Dams and Floodgates** — added wave dampening to significantly reduce water sloshing - **Folktails breeding** — fixed kits no longer spawning when loading saves with sleeping beavers - **Gate status icon** — fixed blurred appearance - **Water pump exploit** — fixed - **Master Builder achievements** — now track all structures ever built, not just currently placed ones - **Building particles** — no longer interfere with status icon positioning - **Polish, Russian, Thai, Ukrainian UI** — replaced long abbreviations with "k" for thousands and "m" for millions - **Steam Deck UI scale** — increased default scale for better legibility ## Balance - **Well-being** — slightly easier to maximize for your colony ## Bug Fixes - **Folktails kits** — no longer appear from nowhere when loading games - **Fill Valve** — improved water level targeting - **Gate icon** — corrected visual blur - **Water pumps** — exploit closed - **Master Builder achievements** — properly track historical structures - **Status icons** — building particles no longer displace them ## Localization & Accessibility - **Polish, Russian, Thai, Ukrainian** — UI text shortened with standard abbreviations - **Steam Deck** — UI now scales larger by default ## Overall Water management is more reliable, beaver well-being is easier to maintain, and several progression-blocking bugs are fixed.
