Master Timberborn controls. Use WASD, mouse wheel zoom, and middle mouse button rotation for efficient colony building and water system planning.

Navigating your beaver settlement is straightforward. Use WASD or the arrow keys to pan the camera. Scroll the mouse wheel to zoom in and out, allowing you to view your colony from a broad perspective or inspect individual beavers. Holding the middle mouse button lets you rotate the camera, which is essential for planning complex water systems and multi-level structures. Left-click to select buildings or terrain, and right-click to deselect. Mastering these controls will make building and managing your colony much smoother.
