WARSAW, Poland - May 8th, 2025 — Lumberpunk citybuilder Timberborn received its seventh major content update today, featuring beaver-friendly public transport and expanded building capabilities, including tunnels.
The aptly-titled Update 7 - Ziplines & Tubeways gives each of the game’s diametrically different factions their own form of modular transport. The nature-loving Folktails receive speedy Ziplines while the industrious Iron Teeth implement cutting-edge Tubeway tech. Each faction’s transit networks operate very differently. Hooked onto beams and pylons, ziplines take beavers skyward, allowing them to travel over buildings and natural obstacles. Criss-crossing through busy settlements, pipe-like Tubeways allow beavers to travel faster, even vertically or through polluted Badwater.
Complimenting the previous update’s 3D water physics, Timberborn now adds 3D terrain! Place terrain blocks on top of buildings to cultivate crops and forests on rooftops, and create tunnels and caves for subterranean settlements and roads. Update 7 expands Timberborn’s vertical, multi-layered builds and brings them to new heights of creativity and intricacy.
Feature Summary
- Ziplines | Extra-fast travel above terrain and buildings. Connect Stations, Pylons, and Beams to create a zipline network high above your settlement and map topography. Exclusive to the Folktails faction.
- Tubeways | Much faster travel thanks to modular, pipe-like segments. Tubeways can extend skyward, create junctions, and even work under water and badwater. Exclusive to the Iron Teeth faction.
- 3D Terrain and Tunnels | Beavers learned how to dig tunnels, and the terrain blocks now go on all solid surfaces! Roofs, platforms, and overhangs allow the cultivation of crops and forestry on them, enabling the creation of caves and hanging gardens, all viewable with the improved layer tool.
- Map reworks, Modding Improvements, and more | Mechanistry revised all 13 in-game maps to work better with the new features, and made modding Timberborn easier for community members. Update 7 rebalances the game and adds several Quality-of-Life features, such as adaptive power shafts.
