How To Help Beavers Climb Up

Even with paths, beavers can only move on the same platform they're currently standing on. Beavers refuse to climb up a platform or fall down a ledge if they meet it. To help them move around, players must secure some stairs as a unique path to traverse elevation.

How To Find Natural Stairs

Fortunately, Timberborn has natural-made stairs called Slopes. These structures are stairs made out of rock and can be used for free, providing a path is built towards it and hasn't flooded. Use these structures as necessary to reach higher elevation and secure more space for your beavers to build, expand, and acquire resources in any area it leads.
