Update 7 - Key features

With the new update, tons of good stuff will be added to our beaver city-building game. Here's the non-exhaustive list of what's coming to Timberborn on May 8, 2025.

[h2]3D Terrain[/h2]

In Timberborn Update 7, in-game terrain goes 3D. You can now overhang terrain blocks and put them on any flat surfaces such as roofs or platforms. This allows you to grow fields and forests anywhere, even in the form of multi-level hanging gardens. Your beavers can now also dig tunnels and create artificial caves!

[h2]Ziplines[/h2]

Folktails, our nature-friendly faction, gets to ride ziplines! Why use the dirt paths when you can set up express zipline connections spanning the entire map? Both beavers and bots can use ziplines to travel and transport goods across different heights, high above buildings, and over the map's topography.

[h2]Tubeways[/h2]

The Iron Teeth beavers, our industrious bunch, now integrate tubeways into their cities. These modular, branching tubes speed up the travel and goods transit in all directions, even in the narrow corners of the settlement, straight upward, or underwater. And yes, you can run tubeways through tunnels.

[h2]And more![/h2]
Timberborn Update 7 - Ziplines & Tubeways also features map reworks, balance changes, and bug fixes, not to mention performance upgrades, modding improvements, and quality-of-life tweaks.

Spoiler alert: before the update launches on May 8, 2025, you can get an early look at the new features by checking out the Experimental Branch as explained here.
