Beaver-made Forest

Beaver-made Forest (id=tbn.term.steam_ach_plant_5000_trees, category=achievement) is an in-game achievement. The official description for this entry reads: "Free spirits by nature, they specialize in surviving in the most desolate land through their primal beaver skills. They lack the unique characteristics of their distant, full game cousins."

The game stores a wide range of runtime and persistent values in the save file. Relevant singletons and variables in the save structure include NaturalResourceStatistics (which contains counters such as CropsPlanted and TreesCut) and PlantingService (which contains a PlantingMap describing planted tiles). While the official description does not enumerate the internal tracking method for this specific achievement, related planting and natural resource counters are present in the save data and can be examined for evidence of planting activity.

Practical notes for finding and inspecting save data and related variables:

• Game save files can be opened from the main menu by selecting Load Game and clicking "Browse directory" in the lower right of the load game screen; this opens a file manager at the save location.
• Typical save locations documented for supported platforms include:
  • Windows (Steam): C:\Users<username>\Documents\Timberborn\Saves
  • Linux (Proton + Wine + Steam): /steamapps/compatdata/1062090/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/My Documents/Timberborn/Saves/
• Save files contain top-level Singletons such as MapSize, CameraComponent, TerrainMap, DayNightCycle, PlayTimeService, WeatherService and others. The NaturalResourceStatistics singleton includes fields like CropsPlanted and TreesCut that record cumulative resource activity.
• PlantingService in the save contains a PlantingMap with dimensions (Size: X, Y) which represents planted tiles on the map and may be useful for verifying planting operations across the map.
• Other useful save-file fields include PlayTimeService.PlayTime (total playtime in seconds) and various weather/drought services; these provide context when inspecting the conditions under which planting occurred.

This article summarizes the official description text and the save-file locations and fields that developers and modders commonly inspect when examining game state related to planting and resource statistics. If deeper investigation is required, examine the listed Singletons in the save file to locate planting and natural-resource counters.
