Add name-list, custom names file for beavears

46 votes

It's nothing big, but I like the idea of having the ability, to create my own list of names for the beavers, replacing/expanding the original list.

Streamers will like the idea a lot, using their Patreons' names. As of now, they need to manually rename the beavers.

Lets you add a .txt file or .cvs file of names and the beavers will be selected from that. Great for streamers/patreons, or just to have beavers with your friends and families names. Will build character investment, provide cultural growth. Names can be recycled with deaths and rebirths, maybe even handed down generationally so far (jr., sr., I, II, III, etc)

Eg a notepad or file in Timberborn's directory we could have a list of names that Beavers will be born with, We can add or change those names so that new Beavers can be named how we wish from birth, instead of individually changing them, It gets out of hand fast when you try hand rename them all at 400 Beavers.

I would like to be able to put in a list of names in the district center that would be used to name beavers, so that if I enter 100 names, many beavers would automaticly have one of the names. So that I dont need to manualy changes the names to the names I want.

Sorry for a bad formulation.

There is a mod now that replaces the list.

And the save file for the game can be edited directly if needed.
With 7-zip one can do this easily without having to unzip and rezip the .timber file.
See the Wiki for details on where to find the various items.

Naming character is always fun and many people name their characters after people they know in real life. The problem with naming characters in Timberborn however is that the beavers don't have a long life span. So my suggestion is to have tab in the main menu where you can put names that you would like your beavers to have and then in the game when a new beaver is born it pulls from that list of names if their isn't a beaver already named that. I believe xcom 2 has this feature for reference.
