Timberborn Lecture Notes

Overview

• Focus of Episode: Building a water filtration system to separate good and bad water.
• Current Status: Design for the filtration system is pending; this episode focuses on handling issues related to "The Hump".

Current Issues

• Beaver Contamination: 15 contaminated beavers (one recently died) and 6 unwell beavers.
• Flooding Issues: Problems around "The Hump" region, with water management and pulsing issues.

Water Wheel and Power Management

• Water Wheel Functionality: Water power measured at the center point; no power loss around corners.
• Power Output: Consistent power output from wheels, with no loss at corners.

Flooding Management

• Causes: Water pulsing and insufficient system headroom.
• Solution: Raised walls and moats to prevent future flooding.

Construction Adjustments

• Building Adjustments: Rip out certain paths to allow construction of water wheels.
• Wall Extensions: Raised walls all the way around the system.
• Terrain vs. Levies: Decision to use terrain on the top level for construction.

Power Line Strategy

• Front Wall Construction: Connect all segments with a power line using levies and connectors.
• Flood Protection: Additional layers for flood prevention.

Decontamination Efforts

• Beaver Contamination: 17 contaminated, 4 unwell.
• Decontamination Pods: Installed to manage contamination levels; require power.
• Pod Placement: Initial placement without power consideration, later rectified.

Infrastructure and Maintenance

• Power Connectivity Challenge: Difficulty in connecting power to decontamination pods, solution involves rerouting power.
• Colony Power Integration: Adjustments to ensure power connectivity across the colony.

Future Plans

• Water Filtration System Foundations: Planning for future installment.
• Filtration Design Considerations: Aesthetic design is ongoing, with scaffolding planned for construction facilitation.

Closing Remarks

• Episode Focus: Managing aftermath of infrastructure changes.
• Next Steps: Continue aesthetic and functional design of the water filtration system for future episodes.
