Scientific Projects

Finally a scientific way to spend your Science points! This mod gives you the Scientific Projects dialog, accessible via the top-left Science button or a rebindable hotkey (default Y). Choose between one-time and daily-cost projects to shape your colony's future.

Don't like the default projects or even the numbers? This mod is developed with modding in mind, so you can easily add your own projects or tweak the existing ones. In fact, I am releasing this mod with a few extra projects that I hope you will enjoy. I will even write a step-by-step guide on how to make your own mod that uses this mod!

After Update 7.4, please make sure to subscribe to the dependency Moddable Timberborn, and you can remove Buff & Debuff System and Moddable Bindito as they are no longer used. Also please make sure all mods are updated to the latest version (Steam sometimes just refuses to update, you can use Verify Game Files option to update all the mods)


This mod now has faction-specific projects! This update comes with one new late-game powerful project for each faction.

You should also see a new Filter section to allow you to search and filter projects by their type. This is a great way to find the project you want without having to scroll through all of them. And each project also has its own Flavor text giving both players and modders a way to make your projects more unique.

- Resin-Infused Planks (Folktails): Woodworkshop uses -99.99% power and +100% the Treated Planks output.
- Heat-Recycling Smelter (Iron Teeths): Smelter uses -99.99% power and +100% the Metal Blocks output.

Note: I have heard from the early feedbacks that Treated Planks are not as useful as Metal Blocks so the benefits are not equal. Stay tuned, a expansion mod is coming soon! It will use my Unlockable Recipes mod ;)

Also don't forget to check Timberborn's official Discord server where there is a topic to discuss what I make and what you want to see in the future. I am also looking for feedbacks and suggestions for this mod, so please let me know if you have any ideas or suggestions.

This mod gives the following projects (see screenshots):
- Lightweight Slippers / Durable Trail Boots / Aerodynamic Sprint Gear: Increase beavers' movement speed.
- Wheelbarrows: Beavers and bots no longer receive movement speed penalties when carrying. This idea was suggested by an annonymous user, thank you!
- Precision Work Tools : Permanently increases work efficiency of all beavers. Unlocks Precision Tool Maintenance which increases work efficiency of all beavers based on the level (and cost) you choose.
- Reinforced Carry Packs: Permanently increases beavers' carrying capacity. Unlocks Builder Sledges which further increases Builders (workers at District Centers or Builder Huts, both beavers and bots) carrying capacity based on the level (and cost) you choose.

Be sure to check out my other mods in the Scientific Projects collection, including Weather Scientific Projects which adds weather-related projects to this mod.
