Isn't the beaver and the otter similar to it?

　Suddenly, I am not confident in distinguishing beams and otters.This is because the only image of the two is a bonnotal one that says, "Cute guy living on the waterside."

　Do you know which two photos are beams and which is otter?

　The correct answer is the first cigarette and the second beaver.When I lined up like this, I am surprised that it is not similar.According to a survey, the otter and the otter are a friend of Itachi, and the beaver is a mouse member, and it certainly looks like that.The shape of the tail is also different, the otter is slender, and the beaver is like a shore.

　Even so, the otter is so cute.I feel that this is also loved by the kettle.On the other hand, the beaver is a little subtle when asked if it is adorable, but it will be a cute category.

　Another thing is that otter lives in the burrow, but the beaver seems to make a dam in the river using a tree branch and the like, and builds a nest in the dam.By doing this, the entrance of the nest is underwater, so that you can prevent natural enemies such as wolves and coyote.Beaver, surprisingly smart.

Beavers living in the post -apocalypse world

　So, this time, I will introduce the game "Timberborn" where such beams make a dam.Unfortunately, there is no otter.And now, 20 % off 2056 yen [tax included] (the price is from Steam version).

　In the world of "Timberborn", humanity has been annihilated, and the ground has become a paradise for beams.It seems that an unprecedented crisis has come because the humanity has disappeared, but for some reason Bieber seems to have survived.

　The purpose of this work is to create a city to prosper the Bieber's civilization.It seems that the beaver of the real world rarely acts on the ground to protect themselves from natural enemies, but because there are no animals other than beams in this work, the surface is walking with my own face.。And by walking bipedal.Surely, when an unprecedented crisis occurred, it would have evolved its own.The environmental adaptability is not odd.

　The genre of this work corresponds to a town planning simulation, and "Banished" is listed as a relatively close taste.The beams are instructed to work, collecting wood and food, making buildings, and increasing the city little by little.

　This world is basically peaceful because there are no natural disasters such as mountain fire and typhoons, and there are no foreign enemies.However, except for the drought period when you visit regularly.

A game character that focuses on "flood control", which is rare for town planning simules

　When it comes to drought, the field dries up, so you can't get crops.Then the beams fall into starvation and die.

　Even if it is a stocked food, drinking water will be lost this time.It seems that humans die in a few days if they can not drink water, but that is the same as the beaver of this work, and it still falls.The threat of nature is terrible.

　Therefore, it is necessary to store drunk water by the drought, and to prepare irrigation facilities so that the river can be dried in the field.Nevertheless, the amount of water barrels is known, and it is difficult to cover the emotional equipment.Then, how to accumulate water is to make a pond (agricultural dam).It's finally the appearance of a beaver element.

　There are several ways to make a dam in this work, but the quickest way is to build embankments and flood gates on a part of the river to stop the flow of water, and operate the river itself like a pond.is.If you can do this, you will be able to continue your normal life even if drought comes.

The difficulty is not so severe, but if the balance of the stockpiled is lost, it will be annihilated.

　If the river makes a dam, you'll want to expand the dam and nurture more beams.As a result, as a result of trying to control the flow of water, water floods the living area of the beams, and the production of food and the like stops.Beavers can live in the water, but the buildings cannot operate when they are submerged, so they must make a embankment so that water does not enter the area.

　Also, if you do so, the beaver will increase too much, and you may lose food and drinking water.Once in such a situation, the stop will not work, and it will only wait for the beaver to be annihilated.

　This work is not so difficult, and if you have played such a town planning simulation, you will be accustomed to it immediately, but if you are careless, the game will be given at a stretch due to the lack of food and water.End.There is a moderate thrill and I personally feel just right.

Expectations for future updates

　This work is now an early access title before the official release.Therefore, for example, there is still room for improvement, such as having a small explanation in the game, it is difficult to understand if it is a first time, there is a lot of waiting time to play, and the play speed may be a little faster.

　However, updates such as the addition of new facilities and plants are being performed at any time, so the content of the game should be more and more powerful.I mentioned some drawbacks, but the game itself was still attractive, so I was crazy about playing.It is interesting to say that it is necessary not only drought but also to respond to floods due to heavy rain in the future.Because it is a time thief game, I want you to play when you can take a quick break.
