Whitepaws Faction U7

Add an entire custom faction


The Whitepaws do not build their dams out of levees and dam blocks, their town is their dam.
Mostly everything is a house, and most houses are also dams.
Arrange them correctly and you might succeed in building the grandest dam of all beaverkind

Or you might starve and die of thirst because your population got out of control

I've seen a few YouTubers make playthroughs of this faction, and I think it only makes good content of you already know your way around the mod. You may think it will be nice to discover it along with your audience but no, that is a terrible, terrible idea.
Most YouTubers during their first playthrough spend a good half of the time (at BEST) stumbling around, trying to find stuff in the menus, trying to figure out where this item is made, where that one is stored etc. Trust me, it is painful to watch, that will be hell to edit, and people won't enjoy it.

BUT, if you know what you're doing, know what your want to show, what you think you need to explain, and are generally used to the mod, I honestly think that makes some pretty good content.

So if you wants to give make a let's play of this faction, please play it for yourself off camera first. I'd argue to go at least to the point of making and duplicating your first blueprints, possibly go as far as getting the tree nursery unlocked and build. If you manage to reliably reach that (and if course, if you enjoy playing the mod) then you're probably ripe for a nice playthrough series

And for the love of god, don't play this on hard mode :/

- Your population will grow to fill every available bed, but mostly everything is a house. overbuild and you will starve.
- First thing you need to do is get food, water, and a bath or showers.

- Then you need to make planks
- Use planks to rebuild your town center (you start with a broken kart)
- ONLY THEN can you raze the broken kart
- This will drop an Anvil, a Library set, a Cauldron and the Chemistry glassware, thus unlocking ironworking, paparmaking, science and chemistry.
- From then you can build the library and get access to most simple science-locked buildings like stairs and platforms and other basic industry.

At this point you're mostly free. You will eventually need to unlock and build the Architect's lodge and Mechanic's lodge, they can make blueprints that unlocks larger and more efficient buildings.

I started making this mod a few month before Update4, I felt the game was far too easy and unchallenging, and still is, but more importantly lacked purpose. Why are we doing all this ? Back then we coul survive on a tiny dam and carrots for all eternity, so why do more ? Well here I'll have you race against your own population that keeps growing near-uncontrollably, so you are constantly pressured to build more to unlock better stuff to get more breathing room so you have workforce to dedicate to more improvements.
Concretely, to make the game more interesting (and challenging) the basic dam and levees are removed, but a lot of buildings are now made watertight. Arrange them into a dam whichever way you like, but they are most likely houses too so that will cause your population to expand.

If a building is blocky enough to look watertight, then it most likely is. since the middle of U6, you can now build watertight things on top of non-watertight things, and commit what most would call ''crimes against gravity''. Have fun !

Mods that are known to also work with this mod will be listed at the end.

This mod was nearl3y in its final state at the end of U6. It won't change much with U7, but i'll probably add ziplines to the faction, or something more... uhh...we'll see. 😉. The U6 version is bug-free as far as I know.

Pausing watertight buildings or keeping them disconnected to use them as dams without having to deal with the population is cheating.
Pausing water pumps even when part of a dam during droughts is fair enough
Pausing houses that are not part of a dam is always okay.
I'm not your mom, play as you like.
