Exercise Plaza

Exercise Plaza is a decorative and functional plaza building used to increase beaver happiness and provide a communal space in Timberborn. It occupies a 5×5 flat surface and is placed like other plaza-style structures to form dedicated recreation areas within a settlement.

The Exercise Plaza is built on level ground and presented visually as an organized open area with equipment or markings for beaver activity. It is intended to serve as a leisure focal point, improving overall population morale when beavers can visit and gather there.

Practical notes and interactions:

• Construction footprint: requires a flat 5×5 area to place the building. Plan terrain leveling or filling so the plaza fits without slope penalties.
• Resource cost changes: initial implementation used 50 Log, 50 Plank, 10 Metal Block; later changed to 50 Log, 50 Plank, 20 Metal Part. Adjust resource planning for metal parts accordingly.
• Placement: can be used as a standalone decorative/recreational build or integrated into larger public space designs. Creating multiple plazas or clustering them with other decorative buildings increases the chance beavers will use them as gathering points.
• Visuals: the plaza has dedicated presentation artwork and an in-use appearance, making it suitable for players who want a clear recreational area in their town layout.
• Accessibility: ensure paths and walkable tiles lead to the plaza so beavers can reach it easily; placing it near high-traffic areas (residences, food production) improves visitation.

History: introduced in Update 5 and later received the resource cost adjustment noted above.
