Suggestions for improving Timberborn – Bugs and Suggestions

Here's where we squash Timberborn bugs and consider new features! 🐛

To make the process smooth please follow these rules:


🌳 Use English. The only allowed exception is described in the thread on in-game text and translations pinned below.

🌳 Before posting, check for duplicate suggestions by using "Search". If someone has already shared something similar, upvote and/or comment.

🌳 When reporting bugs, add any details that may help us reproduce the bug. Remember that you can attach image files to your suggestions.

🌳 Saves and player logs help us even more. You can send an anonymous report via a post-crash screen after the game stopped working. If that screen didn't appear, please post your bug report and then e-mail us the files using this address. Remember to link your suggestion! Where are the logs and saves, you ask? Check out this thread.

🌳 You may also suggest and upvote new features big and small. And if you feel you'd rather discuss live, join our Discord.
