When drought comes again, the forestry building will dry out and automatically slot in a new unemployed worker to replace the cut trees. As the trees reach maturity, woodcutters on the shore can still harvest the trees, though they cannot be replanted in the water. Meanwhile, because the forestry building is flooded, the worker for that building will automatically de-slot and find work elsewhere. When the drought ends, the trees will not be harmed by the water and will continue to grow. Place a forester in the riverbed and have them plant maples. If you have a river bed that frequently drains of water in drought, you can use that land to grow more lumber. Trees take a long time to grow, especially premium maple.

Now you have an underwater farm to supplement your food stores or feed your Ironteeth babies. This ensures the gathers have the same reach as the forester who planted the berries. Place two gatherers where the forester building used to be. Once the forester is done, you can delete their building, as they will not be needed to replant the berries. This means that if you have blueberries growing underwater, you will be able to use flooded land itself as a food source.īuild a temporary forester and have them plant blueberries on land you plan to flood. Blueberries are unique in that they do not need to be replanted after every harvest, so there's no reason for you to replant them. The only determent is that you can't plant new crops on flooded land. Flooded crops still grow and beavers can still harvest them. A bridge going directly where you need to go is the fastest option and expands your district to the max, but if you're low on lumber, just build a path on the river bed.īuilding stairs to get down into the reservoir is important for most of the strategies to follow.Ĭrops do not die when they are flooded. So, don't think you have to build roads and bridges with humans in mind. They don't need their roads or stairs to be dry for them to use them. It might not be worth saying for some, but your beavers can swim.

Warning: tips 4 and 7 are kinda difficult to use/justify. If any of these features are revealed to be bugs and are patched out, sorry. This guide is made 10/4/21 and is using the system in place on that day. There are a lot of things you can do down there in otherwise wasted land. Lately, I've become addicted to building infrastructure inside my rivers and reservoirs.
