Description
DISCLAIMER: I present_ the first TIMBERBORN UNDERWATER BASE!
at least I think its the first, also the first full ocean map. Important notes at the end of description!

Story:
You found the legendary sea bunker NOAH designed to prepare the world for the return of humanity. legends say humans held out here so long, that beavers had to get rid of them personally.

Half of your group stays behind to inspect while the others drive
home to tell of this glorious find.

You follow the weak frequency of the ship as it moves over the horizon. KAAWUUMMPS... ... ...
...And silence, as your radiobeaver reports.
You dont know what happened, or if the ship is still intact,
either way you are stranded here until some help arrives.

The only good news, this legendary base is known for:
long term survivors

IMPORTANT NOTES/ TIPPS

°You have to move to ground level zero to find your beavers
(layers are right corner on screen under clock.)
°Water is on top of the tower and you need to build path on stairs !!
°I tried to include a natural growth treefarm
(mark only small or big trees if you are NOT using forester)
°I recommend disabling badtide
(not that bad actually with contamination barrier, but annoying)
°This base can somehow handle droughts, its a mirracle!
(longer ones may become badtides but very very slowly)
°Indoor water and badwater source if you open blockage
(not recommended, still not recommended extra room for that)

and last tipp:
°DO NOT FLOOD YOURSELF !!!

other things:
The lonly hallway to nowhere was built for player underwater modules to attach.
So if you put in your module from above delete what blocks the hallway and connect.

WELL, I hope to find some more underwater and moonbase maps myself now.

I hope you enjoy the map, and sorry for the long text,
this base just has a few features

KEEP YOUR HEADS DRY SURVIVORS.

Congratulation, sounds like you drained the ocean and dominated the map.
Nice to hear what is possible

I think its best to have everything on 1 or 2 layers the player can switch to see whats important
At least for underwater bases, but you have erased that problem

revisit this map, finally remove the outer wall, removed most of the roof for easy view, and reduce the badwater to max 2 level high thanks for the challenge

New underwater map is out: THE RUSTY SPEAR
It lets you enter the ocean from underwater with new batshit insane tech I developed

Also check out Rekkabas map: SEALAB UNDERNEATH THE WATER
It has enough space for whatever you want to do, and a quest
to repair sections that is a welcome change in gameplay

Incredibly fun and challenging.

thank you for the feedback.

I had some lag while testing, nothing too game-braking just a few seconds lag.
But honestly I am glad it only lags as much as it does.
I mean...the whole map is an ocean

learning expieriance for the next map: smaller map size- lower source values

the base is already as much centered as possible between food, wood , water
it also has enough space for a production if beaverpower is used
I used haulers and built my storage close to sources and then production("recieve")
also small water and food storage in key locations with "recieve" priority

you cant expand easily so its good the map is spacious,
but the big downside is travel distance

best action?
you mean after first production?

enough watertanks, -then either
platforms in ocean
or risky move with indoor watersource
close builders and storage helps - also 2nd floodgate and a saved game

map so hard, had no clue which action would be best, need closer resource so beaver wont travel long between water and food, is builder base need to be relocated? still idk, framerate is dying due to massive water flow animation lol

Ok so you can use negative numbers in watersources to absorb water.

with this you can build indoor water without the risk of overflow.
no need to move water outside either anymore

so: indoor waterpower/drinking water
Arcadaeus  [author] 5 Jul, 2024 @ 3:52pm 
regading physics, turns out I didnt need all the blockages on top:
overhangs block water from above and let water from below pass.
so you need blockage to keep water in not out. exept open sides..

If I knew from the start I could save on top blockage,
and build a one way water disposal into the sea

its definitly fun to build in this way, can recommend.
I think its possible to build completly in water if you give yourself starting enough water
and work immedeatly on an underwater source.

in that case you are really cut off from the surface

Really interesting concept. I've been exploring ideas on how to deal with physics, so thanks for putting in that work. I'm having a lot of fun with creating hidden secrets and flow pathing options with blockages.
