Why Dirt is the Best Building Material in Timberborn!

We've hit the end of the building material tech-tree in Timberborn, and that means one thing: it's time to move on to the best, most efficient material- dirt! We go over how to get dirt, the special mechanics that surround placing it, how it is used, and what kinds of projects it is best used on.

Best of all, Update 7 introduced a brand new mechanic to dirt— the ability to build it on top of anything, not just other dirt blocks, meaning we now have a plethora of new options. We utilize that mechanic to build 3D farms and an insanely large (and probably unnecessary) reservoir!
