  I've only had the game a week and I'm already getting bored having to unlock every little thing every time I start a new game. If there isn't a sandbox mode, I don't see spending much time playing.

  That would be really practical and also fun to try out ideas

  I would like a mode with all buildings (ideally from all factions) unlocked from the beginning but still requiring resources.

  FWIW you can kinda do this currently using the Timberborn Save Editor (https://charperbonaroo.github.io/timberborn-save-editor/) - start a new game, build a storage of each type (water, logs, warehouse), save, then open the game in the editor, and set all resources to e.g. 99999, save, download and load the modded save. Once your buildings are built, the resources will be there automatically. Example: https://pasteboard.co/LPUSVTrcWS1k.jpg
  
  Having a native Sandbox Mode will be awesome though!

  I would love a sandbox mode where we can use 'cheats,' such as 'build w/o resources,' 'all research complete,' etc, but disable achievements for sandbox mode.

  I think the game could really benefit from a sandbox/cheatmode with unlimited/changeable ressources and maybe the option to spawn beavers. It would allow for easier testing of all the possibilities of the game, which would allow for better feedback. Also some people enjoy the option to just build their city and enjoy the little beavers roaming around in it.

  A sandbox mode would help to learn the mechanics. I've repeatedly found that my assumptions where wrong (especially about new content I haven't got to before), and suffered setbacks, and/or lost colonies. I'd like to be able to play around with the stuff to see how it all works in a separate game before committing major resources to find out it's not quite what I thought.

  when you go on one there is a get anything menu where you can get stuff and give the beavers infinite health/wont die and level the ground

  i think you should add a creative mode option where you have everything unlocked from that start and everything is free

  I don't think I'd use the free stuff, but I'd love a mode with both factions' unique buildings.

  Adding buildings to the map editor would get really close to the sandbox

  I think a free/creative mode could just generally fun like in Minecraft, perhaps for testing designs or efficiency, etc.

  This gets my vote! Sandbox mode and/or a map editor / map creator. It would be so much fun to start with a blank slate, be able to edit terrain, add water, trees, metal .... etc. :)

  OMG yes!!! If I want to try an idea and I don't want to kill my world I have to open a trainer(cheat tool) to create a test world where I can unlock all tech quickly (read speed 99 for 5 minutes)

  A more chill and easy-going mode for people who want to create all sorts of crazy towns and what not...
  
  Have various options for players to set certain settings (unlock all, infinite resources, etc.) and start a map.

  An sand box game mode whould be useful for people who want to experiment or make eazyer plans for a specific map and see what are the limits with no qonsequences.That's why I vote with this idea I hope I see something close to this added to the game.

  Please add instant build and duel type buildings in normal play, maybe as an easy mode only option. I'm having fun, but keep restarting when I do major map changes. , and how about a water tank the refill directly from water/river source

  Both types of beaver buildings. I want to build a cool looking apartment complex but need both building types.

  A creative mode may be a good edition to this game, as fully built up towns can look really nice, but getting there and planning it out can be difficult. Obviously it is much more satisfying to build a town up with the usual game mechanics (or even more satisfying when you up the difficulty), but it can be time consuming and difficult to visualize.
  
  My suggestion is a mode or difficulty in which resources are unlimited so that you are able to just mess around, maybe use it to plan out your main save, or to create something beautiful.
  Being able to freely place buildings without worrying about resource management can lead to insanely creative builds, and can also give me something to do when I only have an hour or 2 to play and can't sit down for a full game.
  
  An different option is to make a creative faction where they have "creative" storage, or infinite storage. Basically, a water tank that never runs out of water, a warehouse that's full of every resource, etc.

  My reason for a Sandbox mode is that sometimes a game comes along where the animations and concept are so entertaining that I just want to create an environment, without limitation, that lets me build easily and then sit back and enjoy - but it also inspires me to want to do it again - legit and with more stuff after I have seen the possibilities and learnt skills along the way without too much grind.

  it is better to have a free mode (unlimited resources and science) for players who want to explore the game first to learn, or just to have fun without caring about resources

  Sandbox mode --> I fully understand that the whole point and charm of the game is to plan and strategize with resources, etc, and that's why the buildings and features are blocked and unblocked over time. However, it would be great to have Sandbox mode as well. Many players are in for making the cities efficient, with a visually pleasing layout. That's it. The locked buildings are ruining it for such players. What I'm currently doing, I'm placing multiple knowledge/science centers and letting the scientists crank the numbers up and I wait until I can unlock everything and then I start playing for real.

  Would there be a creation mode that unlock all the tech at the beginning?
  Thanks so much. It's really a good game!

  I think a on/off choice for making all buildings counted as "Solid" (but not making their roof removed, just making it so you can place buildings on top) would be very fun.

  Making a creative mode would good, it would be much funner and a double mode game. Every game is better with a different mode

  A free build mode with unlimited points or resource would be interesting to someone,people who want to build some spectacle buildings such as great wall,skyscrapers and a beavers empire,but don't have the ability to do it in normal mode...that's me,honestly XD

  I think its could add a mechanic to the game for people who want to make "Creative" to be able to build a building without having to wait and have the necessary materials.
