PieFedTimberborn after 2 days: a game I can see myself sinking dozens of hours into

That game is good. Like so good I have to force myself to not play today to do other stuff that optimizing my beaver colonies.
I'm traveling a lot in the coming weeks, I would like to just chill at home and play that thing ha ha
Timberborn sucked me in hard for about a week. I love watching the little beavers run around, and building hydro systems is a lot of fun! I sort of fell off trying some of the more difficult scenarios with the Iron Teeth. Dealing with harsher water conditions ends up being a lot slower and getting established become very repetitive and dull waiting for enough resources to come in to do anything. I hope they add more end-game options and challenges.
I also got really into Against the Storm, another city builder that also has beavers, but which is cleverly mixed with roguelike and boardgame elements to improve on replay value.
Yes, I feel like TB might get a bit repetitive down the line, but there is still a lot to do for a new player.
Also, ziplines and tunnels coming soon!
It can seem like a relatively simple game, but you can build some enormously complex, almost scifi themed, colonies.
It's a great game.
The water physics are interesting, and the beaver recreation options are super cute.
Definitely agree on both !

Thanks, I didn't link as my post is the only one on that community this week, quite easy to find
