HTTP Adapter

The HTTP Adapter is the output counterpart to the HTTP Lever, converting in-game automation signals into external HTTP API endpoints and webhook calls. When its input signal changes state, the HTTP Adapter can notify external systems by making webhook calls to configured URLs and by exposing the signal state through the game's HTTP API on localhost:8080. At 7,500 Science Points, it is the most expensive automation component in the game, representing the pinnacle of Timberborn's automation technology.

The HTTP Adapter receives signals from any automation source (sensors, counters, logic gates, Relays) and translates those in-game events into real-world actions through HTTP. This enables integration with external services: a contamination alert could trigger a notification on your phone, a low-food warning could send a message to a Discord channel, or a drought detection signal could activate a physical warning light connected to a smart home system. The bidirectional nature of the HTTP API (input via HTTP Lever, output via HTTP Adapter) allows for complete two-way integration between Timberborn and external systems.

For technically inclined players, the HTTP Adapter unlocks a world of creative integration possibilities. Build a web dashboard that displays real-time colony status by polling HTTP Adapter endpoints, create alerting systems that notify you of critical events when you are away from the game, or develop AI controllers that read colony state through Adapters and respond through HTTP Levers. The 7,500 Science Point cost makes this the ultimate late-game investment, suitable only for colonies that have mastered all other aspects of automation. Combined with the HTTP Lever, it creates a complete API bridge between your beaver colony and the outside world.
