Goods stored in Tanks are: Water, Biofuel, Catalyst, Maple Syrup, Medicine. Tanks are no longer good-specific, as you can pick what’s stored inside. Goods stored in Piles are: Logs, Dirt, Planks, Treated Planks, Scrap Metal, Metal Blocks. Piles are no longer good-specific, as you can pick what’s stored inside. Warehouse, pile and tank entrances are now decorated with banners representing the goods stored inside. Crates and barrels carried by beavers or stored in warehouses are now painted with a different color and an icon depending on the resource. The number of crates indicates the warehouse’s occupancy. Warehouses are now wall-less, exposing the stored goods as stacks of crates. These buildings are now universal, allowing you to choose what should be stored inside (including many goods that used to be stored in warehouses). The new system also applies to all piles and tanks. You can change your selection at any time but before beavers start bringing the new resource, they will remove the old one. The player picks a single good that will be stored in a particular warehouse. Warehouses no longer accept all goods at the same time. We also completely changed how the goods are presented within the UI and in the game world! All boxed goods have received unique crates, and the resources stored in piles and tanks are now easily recognizable when stored or transported. While reworking the storage system, we updated all related buildings functionally and visually, and added a few additional ones. It makes it easier to manage resources across the colony, see what is stored where, and how much room is left for each good. ![]() We have redesigned the warehouses to work similarly to how many players already used them in the late game - but better! The new system helps you avoid a situation where they get clogged up by an overproduced good and can’t take another (for example, with golem heads taking up the room you need for food). Please check this thread if you want to play on the Update 2 branch. This way, you're able to continue your U2 playthrough as long as you're fine with not having access to the U3 features. However, we have added a separate branch for Update 2. With the reworked storage system added in Update 3, it had to be done. This sucks, yes, and we try to limit losing save compatibility to the minimum - but it’s not always possible. Important note: saves created on Update 2 and before are incompatible with the new version of the game. Watch the Timberborn Update 3 Feature trailer below! With all the changes across the board, there’s never been a better time to pick up the game - or to start another round of frantic beaver colony building! ![]() The highlight of this patch is the brand-new storage system but we have also redesigned bots, improved migrations, added the ability to recover resources from deleted buildings, and more.

While the Cube isn’t fully rugged, the rubberized body is made to be weatherproof, so you can splash water on it just don’t take it for a dunk. We received an all-black unit for our review (with the trademark Polaroid rainbow striping on the side), but it’s also available in red and blue. It’s small enough that it fits easily into any clothing pocket, and easy to handle between your fingers or hold in your hand. As the name suggests, it’s a perfect cube that measures approximately 1.4 inches all around, and it’s incredibly lightweight. By design, the Cube is an extremely simple camera. The Polaroid Cube shoots video in either Full HD 1080p or 720p, and snaps 6-megapixel photos. If image quality is what you’re after, we recommend you look at the GoPro Hero Session instead, which costs $150, or take a look through our list of the best action cameras for a variety of choices. With the exception of live-streaming, both Cube+ models are otherwise the same. It was replaced by the Cube+, which sells for approximately $100, and the Cube+ with live-streaming, which sells for approximately $90-$136 on Amazon. Note: The original Polaroid Cube (the non-Wi-Fi version) is discontinued, although it can still be found for approximately $60. Our Polaroid Cube review shows that this affordable action cam can’t compete against the GoPros and Sonys - but there’s a certain charm about it nevertheless. A clever magnetic bottom lets you easily attach the camera to any metal surface. It’s small, cute, and dead simple to use – ideal for kids or anyone who doesn’t want something overly complicated. The $99 Polaroid Cube, released in late 2014, takes an entirely different approach by using a concept that’s more lifelogging camera than action cam.

The Blowfly alarm clock works like a Blowfly. One thing that sometimes wakes you up at night and prevents you from sleeping is the mosquito or blowfly when flying around your room. Many sleepers experience that after they turn off the alarm clock they go on sleeping. It hides in a new place everytime so you are guranteed to get up. So when it rings again you have no choice but to get up and find it. If you hit the snooze button clocky will fire it’s engines and roll of the nightstand, fall on the floor and run around the room, searching for a place to hide where you cannot shut it up. No 3 – Clocky Alarm clockĬlocky is an alarm clock for people who have trouble getting out of bed. After capturing the clock, one must hold on to the clock while the clock rumbles the person awake. The clock also bounces away from the origin, due to the rumbling, thus creating another challenge of getting out of bed and chasing the clock around the room, kind of like a pet. The twist to this clock is that when the alarm goes off the clock rumbles intensely, therefore making it a little harder to find the off switch. The Anemone clock challenges a person when awakening. To turn off the alarm you have to reach for it and drag it back to your bed, which will turn off the alarm and forcing you to get up. So the next time you have to reach a little higher to activate snooze again and get 10 minutes of sleep.

Place the rod against the wall and line up the top edge of the rod against the marks you placed on the tape. Then, rest the pole in the brackets you’ve mounted, and step back to admire a job well done.Measure down from the ceiling the same distance on the right side of the window and make a mark on that piece of paper. Last but not least, attach the curtains to your rod according to the heading style by slipping the rod through the pole pocket, grommet rings, or fabric tabs, and capping the ends with finials if you so choose. If your pole is longer than four feet, consider adding a center support to prevent sagging. Repeat the process for the other bracket.Insert the plastic wall anchors, align the bracket with the anchors, insert the screws, and tighten until the bracket is flush with the wall.Predrill the pilot holes at those marks.Use a pencil to indicate where the screws should go.Hold a bracket up to the wall so that the position of the rod lines up with your initial markings.Once you’ve factored in curtain length, window height, and width, proceed to install the curtain rod bracket. Skip this style if you plan to open and close your curtains regularly, as the bottoms will dirty quickly from constantly brushing the floors. If you plan to puddle your curtains for a look that is extremely formal, allow six to eight extra inches of fabric to fall at the bottom. To give the illusion of height in the room, mount the rod even closer to the ceiling. Don’t go higher than eight inches above the window frame any more than that looks awkward. Curtains that just graze the floor or sill appear classic and tailored, while those that break slightly at the floor (from one to three inches) are also on trend. You may need to adjust your penciled-in placement by an inch or two to get the panels to fall where you want them.

Repeat this in the middle of your window frame and in the right corner, then check your markings with a level. To find your ideal placement, measure down from the ceiling to the top of the trim at the left corner of your window mark the midway point. Wall-mounted rods are usually installed four inches above the window. Don’t forget to factor in additional wall space for decorative finials. Decide whether you’d like to mount the rod to the wall above or directly on the trim, which would allow you to still see some decorative woodwork.Ī general rule of thumb: For wall-mounted rods, allow at least one to three inches on each side of the window to accommodate an open curtain, or as much as six inches on each side of the frame if you’re trying to make the window appear larger. Once you’ve chosen the rod you need, measure the width of your window to determine the correct size to buy. It’s also available in a double-rod version to accommodate a top treatment, such as a valance. The U-shaped pole wraps around the entire window so that, when closed, the curtain completely blocks out incoming light. Opt for a double rod version if you’re interested in hanging inner sheers in addition to standard curtain panels. It’s ideal for hanging curtains with pole pockets, grommets, and tab-top headings. This adjustable pole attaches to the wall with brackets and often features an ornamental finial at each end.
