Bot Assembly

The Bot Assembly recipe combines 1 Bot Chassis, 1 Bot Head, and 4 Bot Limbs at the Bot Assembler to construct a complete Timberbot. This is the longest single recipe in the game at 36 hours, requiring 250 horsepower throughout the entire assembly process. The Bot Assembler is a Science building that represents the pinnacle of manufacturing technology in Timberborn, producing autonomous workers that can supplement or replace beaver labor in many tasks.

Each Bot assembled through this recipe represents an enormous investment of resources tracing back through multiple production chains. The total material cost for one Bot (including all component fabrication) is approximately 11 Planks, 15 Gears, 2 Metal Blocks, and the associated power and fuel costs at every step. The 36-hour assembly time means the Bot Assembler runs for multiple in-game days per Bot, during which it consumes 250 hp of continuous power. Any power interruption extends the assembly time, so a reliable energy source is essential.

To maximize Bot production efficiency, pre-build all components (Chassis, Head, and 4 Limbs) at the Bot Part Factory before beginning assembly. This ensures the Bot Assembler starts immediately without waiting for parts. Since the Assembler occupies a single worker for the full 36 hours, assign a dedicated beaver to this building. Bots require ongoing Biofuel or Grease maintenance once operational, so plan your fuel supply chain before scaling up Bot production. Each Bot provides tireless labor that runs through nights and droughts, making the massive upfront investment worthwhile for colonies that have reached the late game and need to expand their workforce beyond their beaver population.
