Automation & Power Centered Faction Idea: Auto Paws
“Wood gears strong!” -Ol’Kazko
This faction would focus on expanding the power systems to increase efficiency in all aspects of beaver life. Many of their buildings would function better than the standard equivalents but now require power to operate, and also more upfront resources to build. More power management buildings would also be part of this faction’s repertoire to help cope with their much higher power needs. Perhaps powered agricultural buildings, that would still have to be beaver operated, could expedite planting & harvesting processes.
All of this would come at the cost of a more severe population upkeep & expansion cost, to balance out their higher productivity per beaver.
Here is a google doc where I list a few building Ideas for such a faction:

MyPieIsEI want conveyors that transport materials between buildings, including grills, storage, wood workshops, and smelters, each requiring a beaver to output items, costing more planks and gears to build, and requiring a small amount more energy. The conveyors could also cost around 10 planks and 2 gears, as well as 10 logs.
Possibly even adding an automatic way to chop down trees and collect sap, syrup, and fruit, a 3x3 tile building with a space in the middle where it plants and cuts down or collects from trees, possibly irrigating them using water pipes, also having a variant for other things like berry bushes.
Pipes would be kind of like energy, but using new pumps, costing energy to transport water upwards, and less to transport it downwards. Pipes could also be like conveyers, but for fluids.
With these ideas, it would be harder early game, but there would be a way to (mostly) automate, or at least boost stuff late game, letting you sit back and enjoy your work.
