Hello everyone!
Whether it’s custom maps or player-made mods, our community gives the lumberpunk beavers A LOT of cool new stuff to do. That’s why today, we’re officially launching the
Timberborn hub on Mod.io. And to kick things off, we’ve got our first
map-building contest. Join the competition and you can win one of the three grand prizes -
1000 EUR each! 💰
Mod.io
Mod.io is an external platform that hosts community-made add-ons, including custom maps created with Timberborn’s built-in map editor. For now, we are not integrating this tool with the game but as you’re about to see, it’s straightforward to use. We hope it will become a handy platform for all Timberborn players who can’t get enough of post-apocalyptic beavers.
Getting a custom map from Mod.io is as simple as downloading a file, unzipping it, and moving it to the Maps folder. Sharing your creations with other players is equally easy - make a map, archive it, and upload it with an appealing description. For details, follow
this easy guide.
Currently, our game does not officially support mods (seriously, you’ve been warned, don’t come to us if something breaks!). However, Mod.io already hosts many cool player-made mods that add awesome new in-game content or allow you to meddle with Timberborn’s mechanics. If you wish to try, start your adventure
here!
Build-a-Map contest
Our hub is new so to get things rolling, we’ve prepared a long-awaited map-building contest with a proper prize pool. The idea is simple - until
February 28, 2023, create a cool
new custom map using the built-in map editor, upload it on Mod.io with the “Build-a-Map Contest” tag, and you may grab one of the three grand prizes,
1000 EUR each.
Based on the submitted maps’ originality, playability, appearance, and popularity on Mod.io, our team will pick one winner per each map size category (
128x128 and below,
129x129 through 255x255, and
256x256 and above). You can submit as many maps as you like but as any beaver craftsman will tell you, quality precedes quantity, so put your best paw forward!
In addition to the cash prizes, winners will earn eternal fame among beavers (read: the coveted “Master Architect” title on
our Discord and a place in the game’s credits).
Knowing all the excellent maps our players have created since the game’s launch, we expect truly grand creations to appear. But before you don your engineering hat and participate, please read the full Terms & Conditions document and check the Frequently Asked Questions. Links are below.
