Timberborn is a survival city-building game developed by Mechanistry for PC. It entered early access in 2021. Set After the End, humanity is long gone, leaving the Earth to be inherited by sapient beavers. Droughts are common, so stockpiling resources is essential.The player is given the option of controlling one of two factions: the traditionalist, agrarian Folktails, whose unique buildings boost the growth of crops, and the progressive, industrialist Iron Teeth, who instead focus on industrial buildings and metal processing.

Uterine Replicator: The Iron Teeth reproduce using breeding pods, cylindrical vats filled with purple liquid and, when active, a developing beaver, which are kept fueled with water and blueberries. As long as materials are provided, a pod will pop out an infant kit every five days.

comment
Hamster-Wheel Power: One option for supplying power for buildings is a power wheel that a beaver walks on. It's not powerful, but it is constant for as long as your beavers are working, making it Boring, but Practical. In particular, it provides just enough power to keep a lumber mill or other basic powered building humming along when a drought freezes your water wheels.

After the End: The game is set after humanity's extinction, with the beavers now gaining sapience and forming societies and civilizations. The flavour text for the irrigation tower says that water only covers one-third of the Earth's surface now.

Civilized Animal: The beavers have invented agriculture and industry, but they still live near rivers and build everything out of wood.

Bamboo Technology: Beaver technology is mostly based on wood as the starting material, even load-bearing machine parts like gears. The flavor text indicates that metallurgy was simply not a thing until the beavers figured out how to use the scrap metal they scavenged from human ruins.

Accessory-Wearing Cartoon Animal: In their artwork, the Folktails wear hats, the Iron Teeth wear sandals, and both wear belts. This doesn't translate to their in-game models, however.

Furry Reminder
 Timberborn (Video Game) / int_a1d3ebd7
comment
Furry Reminder: A number of amenity buildings are themed around the various needs that a sapient beaver might experience, such as tooth grindstones. Beavers also enjoy keeping their fur damp, requiring you to either send them to do tasks in the water or install public showers. Also, the most basic form of power supply is a giant hamster wheel.

Shout-Out: The flavour text for the medical bed begins with "'Tis but a scratch!", a line from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. The description for the Gear Workshop contains the phrase "Wooden gear's solid!", a play on Metal Gear Solid.

Divergent Character Evolution: The main focus of update 4 was making the Iron Teeth more distinct from the Folktails, so it introduced a slew of exclusive buildings and crops for each faction.

You Require More Vespene Gas: There are a lot of kinds of resources in this game. Logs are the basic resource of the game, and can be refined into planks, gears or paper, which in turn can be refined into other materials. Every building requires one or more log-based material. Additionally, Beavers also need food and water, and there are a lot of crops they can grow; some can be eaten directly, while others need to be prepared first. Each faction has a different way to reproduce; the Folktails have a chance to give birth at night if you have at least two beavers and at least one empty bed, while the Iron Teeth grow babies in vats using a small amount of basic resources. Finally, far away from the starting point on every map, your beavers can scavenge scrap metal from human ruins.
