Street lights, firefly lamps, lantern decorations, night illumination
while playing the game I've seen the environment is so dull looking, street lights or some lamps would be great to work with.
Shadows just don't make sense. (Shadows rotate with camera)
Shadows. Simply speaking, Not very realistic. Shadows always point to the top right corner of the screen no matter what rotation your camera is at. I'm not saying ...
Beaver logging animation, I want to see my beavers gnaw trees over!
I would love to see beavers animations improved. When "cutting" trees, it would be awesome to see them plant their teeth into the trees and gnaw them over, instead of ...
More beaver Animations
Have not played alot yet but I feel that all the beaver actions feel quiet stale. Some animations like using an axe when cutting down trees would be nice, for ...

campfire interactions
Hi! I want to start with saying that I love playing your game. And especially I like how chill it is.
So I was sitting and zooming on a campfire while beavers ...
Change either the "Plank" icon or the "Metal Block" icon
The plank and metal block icons are too similar, at a glance it is easy to confuse the 2 icons together. (personally they look like a slight rotation of each other ...
Rooftop Terrace and Camp Fire lighting problems
Illumination from the Rooftop Terrace is inconsistent and flickers during camera motion. This affects beavers sitting around the light and nearby buildings and ...
Incomplete levee barrier (dam, floodgates) blocks water anyways, unfinished dam on watefalls
I had the beavers build a 2 level levee barrier (not sure if that's the correct term), they just built 3 blocks and water already started flowing above what the final ...
More visual effects: Heat Wave Refraction during Drought, Moonlight, Fog
Adding a heat wave refraction effect to the background could make for an interesting addition to the ambience of a drought. (I've included a picture for an example) ...
Floating logs in stacked storage
just a visual bug but i found if you stack industrial storages on top of each other sometimes the logs will show as strapped to the ceiling of the lower storage.
Building: Flower Garden (Building Decorations)
How about flower gardens where you can grow sunflowers as well as many other smaller flowers in different colors and shapes.
These could then be used as building ...
Aesthetic Building Options

Woodpeckers
I want woodpeckers. Idk what they're good for but the games color pallet needs something red, the beavers need some kind of pet for splash art and marketing, and ...
Save the old golem models and let us "unlock" them at 30 wellbeing in a playthrough
Its a shame to toss out the old models when they work perfectly fine and are quite cool. I never had a problem with them being 'golems' over bots. Its the same thing. ...
Reduce fog or add option to remove
New experimental lighting changes for dawn and dusk are pretty, but fog is overpowering and ends up detracting from appearance
Attached image compares fog on ...
Trees fruit and sap cycle and visuals, blooming period
I'm very glad with introduction of non-wood resources from trees in experimental branch, but i'd like some adjustments to it, to make it look better and play somewhat ...
Refinery Smoke
When creating catalyst, the smoke from the refinery should match the color of the catalyst. Right now it's yellow smoke even though catalyst is purple.
Decals and paint
If it's possible... Player-placed decals on the walls or rocks would make the game even more awesome, A paint-production facilty producing paint form resin and other ...
Please move fences to edge of tile and keep said tile as available for construction
The new fences look nice and all, but I'm finding myself not using them because they take up tiles of space. It'd be better if they were something that could be built ...
Rock / Dirt Walls Could Become Mossy when Wet
I think it would be cool if rock walls, and not just ground would change appearance when wet.
The walls could become either:
- mossy
- overgrown with vines or ...
Rename and/or colour storage buildings.
In order to better manage storage, it would be useful to be able to name each storage. For example, so that with one click, we can see what it contains 'Wood' or ...
Battery causes connected power shaft animation even if there is no power usage in network
it seams that the battery animates even when noting is connected to it
Change river bottom texture from grass to something else - more realistic rivers
Just a tiny suggestion. For realism it might be a good idea if the land under the water is something other than grass..... after all the bottom of a river isnt ...
Improved water visuals - whitewater (foam, splashes, waterfall effects)
Add whitewater features to areas of river with high slope
Cosmetics for buildings, colour-painting your constructions
A big part of the game for me is building good-looking, interresting and/or insane villages and structures. With the water mechanics, stackable buildings and ...
Update 3 suggestion: Keep old water tank designs for Folktails, give the new designs for IronTeeth
IronTeeth are supposed to be all about efficiency and the more square and compact designs newly introduced in U3 fit them perfectly. There is barely any difference ...
Trees sway with wind
It would be a really nice atmospheric addition to the game to make the trees sway when the wind is high. Currently there is a mismatch between the auditory experience ...

Make wind affect smoke from bakeries and grills
The smoke from bakeries and grills always goes straight up, it's a little boring. Since wind direction and speed is already a thing in the game, it'd be nice if the ...
Iron Teeth Faction - Beaver Teeth Visual
The Iron Teeth faction is shown with white teeth. I personally really like the name "Iron Teeth" giving a nod to the real fact that beavers teeth are actually ...
Add more "grades" of Tree Growth visual
As it is now, Tree growth happens very abruptly.
You have a tiny Tree, then a looong time of nothing happening, then it sproings into a medium-sized Tree, and then ...
Visual bug: dirt excavator's drill head fell off - drill moves away from it's axel
The drill head appears to be out of alignment with the rest of the assets. I have no idea when or how it moved. It still spins when the machine is running, and stops ...
Beaver animations, more immersive visuals
Hi!
I work in a mobile gamedev company, and we spend a lot of time working on the visual aspect of the game. After bingeplaying timberborn for for the entire weekend ...
CHange in-game mouse to reflect being in-game
When alt-tabbing, or playing with multiple monitors, it would be a quality of life addition to make the game's mouse, or cursor, use a built in game icon, rather than ...
The rooftop terrace has 10 seats and it can only hold 6 beavers
the rooftop terrace has 10 seats yet it can only hold 6 beavers! it's really odd.

Make beavers happier when house is in green.
Add foliage (Random-height grass and flowers) when land has been green for a long time.
Suggestions: More beaver variations, Beaver looking older when ageing
More beaver variation:
Having there be more beaver colors, sizes and maybe adding more defining features such as outfits, belts and hats.
Beaver looking older ...
Pumps and Floodgates extend through the bottom of the map, buildings clip through ground
Objects aren't clipped to the bottom of the map. This is most noticeable on small maps such as Diorama. Deep water pumps are the biggest offenders, extending six ...

Strange bug with water and shadows - reflections in water
unsure of what caused it but whatever system controls the water filter seems to have broken and is now overlaying the shadows from items that are above ground onto ...
Rotate (change direction) of seedbeds \ crop fields

Improve Crop Growth Visualization
Now the growth visualization system is binary mode (in graphic only "growing" and "ripe"). When you want to inspect an area of field, you need to click the ...
New employment screen - changes for better visual representation and more intuitive control.
Right now the workplaces screen lists all buildings and alows to see their priorities pretty easily. Unfortunately the jobs are still a confusing mess and even when ...
Graphical Bug: Beaver Sleeping in disconnected Forester animation quickly cycles
I have a forester that was populated with a worker and I disconnected it (whoops) from the district center. This means that the beaver has the stranded condition and ...
Suggestion - paths get "worn in" and become more prominent as more beavers use them
At the moment it seems odd that all structures require beavers to make them, but paths appear fully formed at the click of a mouse.
I propose that instead, the ...
Snap camera to a player-designated point
I would like to request a camera feature that would snap the camera to a view that's facing towards a particular point the player has set.

Minor bug: Power wheel legs of beavers walk faster then the wheel turns
It looks like they are sliding within the wheel, because the wheel moves slower then their feet move.

Mud Bath should bubble when connected to power, whether or not it's in use
It's a little odd that the mud bath only starts bubbling when a beaver gets in, even though it's powered all the time. I think it makes more sense for the bubble ...
