I use World Anvil to write down everything worldbuilding-related. Not super necessary ofc but a very cool tool and it does provide some nice inspiration by prompting you to comeup with things you didn't even think about, like in the image below. www.worldanvil.com @worldanvil.com

The beavers built the first weather station. It's built high on top of a plateau and even then propped up by some structures to provide a beacon of hope to all beaverkind! #Timberborn #IronTeeth #HiveCity #Colony12

Work is over, which means work just begins for my Iron Teeth! This is Colony 12. After 11 failed attempts, this colony is destined to become the first Iron Teeth colony to become a proper hive city as the elders intended! #Timberborn #IronTeeth #HiveCity #Colony12 @timberborn.bsky.social

A screenshot of my Timberborn hive city "Colony 12" showing the empty "Oasis" map. Some beavers can be seen in front of the district center, the only building on the map so far. The beavers are standing on a green field created by an oasis in the center, surrounded by badlands.

New westward expansion along the south coast. A farm and an empty patch of grass was redeveloped with low density housing, providing some much requested single-family homes. #CitiesSkylines2 #TrinityGate

Overview of my Cities: Skylines city Trinity Gate. Compared to last overview post, there are more farms, the new coal power plant and of course the new harbor. The city center has also massively densified compared to last update. #CitiesSkylines2 #TrinityGate

A screenshot of my Citiees: Skylines 2 city Trinity Gate giving a bird's eye view of the city. The highly densified city center can be seen on a peninsula in the top right of the image. The center of the image is dominated by the fields that are outside of the city, with the city entrance slightly above the image's center. In the top center of the image, on the northern shore of the peninsula's neck, is the industrial area and harbor. On the left of the image are the highway and rail line going from top to bottom on the image. Both are branching off to the right to connect through the fields to the city, the rail line making a detour through the industrial area. The harbor and the new coal power plant can be seen in the top left corner of the image.

While the harbor was under construction, the city also built its first college. With space for over 3000 students, it promises to provide higher education for the entire city. #CitiesSkylines2 #TrinityGate

The Trinity Gate harbor is finished! With a high capacity highway connection and even higher capacity freight rail connection, this new harbor can be well connected to the city and beyond, promising to turn Trinity Gate into a major trading hub. #CitiesSkylines2 #TrinityGate

A screenshot of my Citiees: Skylines 2 city Trinity Gate showing the undeveloped harbor island.

A screenshot of my Citiees: Skylines 2 city Trinity Gate showing the fully developed harbor island. The canal that cuts the island off of the mainland is in the bottom left of the image. The rail bridge can be seen which leads into a gentle s-curve into the train terminal, while the highway bridge turns into a dramatic loop to get the highway down to ground level. Industrial and office spaces are situated underneath the highway loop. The harbor island is completely surrounded by quay walls which house several cargo cranes spread across the island's perimiter. A fishing pier and passenger ferry terminal can be seen on the right side of the image. The island is mostly filled with harbor streets and storage spaces, specked with the occasional office or industrial building. Ships can be seen around the harbor.

Decided that I wanna continue building on my Minecraft world "Merath" again so I'm setting up the Minecraft server again. Updating a server from 2 years ago while switching from Spigot to Paper certainly is a task 😅 #Minecraft #Merath #Linshire #creative #building

The new power plant has been built! It will finally provide enough power to supply the whole city. Now it is vital that the new harbor will be built soon as the old harbor is not fit for the purpose of supplying the power plant with the necessary amount of coal. #CitiesSkylines2 #TrinityGate

A screenshot of my Citiees: Skylines 2 city Trinity Gate showing the new coal power plant. It sits on the coast of the bay west of the new harbor area, which can be seen in the top right of the image and is still an undeveloped green island. The rail cargo terminal is connected to the power plant by a short road. The area is surrounded by storage spaces for the power plant and some industrial facilities.

CodedStingray @codedstingray.bsky.social · 11/06/2026

As preparation for the future new coal power plant, a new cargo rail terminal has been built right next to the new power plant site. #CitiesSkylines2 #TrinityGate

A screenshot of my Citiees: Skylines 2 city Trinity Gate showing the area west of the industrial area. The open green fields are criss-crossed by several highways and rail lines. The harbor canal can be seen in the top right of the image.

Drama struck the city again with the construction of Kapine Tower, the new HQ of telecom firm Kapine. It was built on Wood Street, the border between high density Downtown and low density George Harrison Park. (1/3) #CitiesSkylines2 #TrinityGate

A screenshot of my Citiees: Skylines 2 city Trinity Gate showing the border between high density Downtown on the left and low density Harrison George Park on the right, with Wood Street being the deliniation between the two districts.

With population pressure on the city center increasing, the farms on the south shore of the peninsula have been replaced with new housing developments. #CitiesSkylines2 #TrinityGate

To improve the industrial area's access to the city center, a new rail connection has been built, which bypasses the rail yard and connects to the industrial district's new train station. Both train lines have been diverted through the new connection. #CitiesSkylines2 #TrinityGate

A screenshot of my Citiees: Skylines 2 city Trinity Gate. The new rail connection can be seen that bypasses the rail yard and passes through the new station at the edge of the industrial area.

Next time a AAA studio excuses AI slop in their games as "placeholders" that were "missed" before release, please remember that the asteroid-dodging racing game I'm working on currently looks like this. *This* is what real placeholders look like. #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #godot #noAI #fuckAI

Also used this piece's concept to try and create my own. Basically a cylinder with some grooves around it. Could be the base for a decorative tower or something, but was really just for me to actually create something of my own and not follow a tutorial for once ^^ #3d #3dmodeling #blender

In an effort to reduce traffic congestion, the main street has been widened from 2-4 lanes to 6 lanes across its entire length. Some side streets were also widened to improve access to the main street. Surely adding more lanes will solve the traffic issues, no? (1/4) #CitiesSkylines2 #TrinityGate

With the city growing ever more, more and more people are wanting to live close to the city for its amenities but still enjoy a rural lifestyle away from the city bustle. Thus, the village of Cattleway has been steadily growing for a while now. #CitiesSkylines2 #TrinityGate

A new canal has been dug to allow for future planned ship routes across the harbor. This cut off the peninsula west of the city, turning it into an island and creating more space for future expansions of the harbor :) #CitiesSkylines2 #TrinityGate

A screenshot of my Citiees: Skylines 2 city Trinity Gate showing the peninsula west of the city. A single unused rail line can be seen running up the middle of the peninsula. The harbor and industrial area is visible in the bottom right of the image.

A screenshot of my Citiees: Skylines 2 city Trinity Gate showing the peninsula west of the city, now cut off by the harbor and thus turned into an island.

Timberborn 1.0 is out and that means I have to start a new beaver colony! This is Cradle Groves, a new settlement founded by the Folktails after they found some protecting sinkholes in the ground - this is the Hollows map :) #Timberborn #CradleGroves @timberborn.bsky.social

A screenshot of my Timberborn city Cradle Groves. The town center can be seen inside a sinkhole. A small river flows through the sinkhole from the bottom to the top of the image, causing most of the sinkhole to be green grass. The surrounding elevated terrain is brown wasteland. Cavern tunnels connect this sinkhole to neighbouring sinkholes which are barely visible on the sides of the image, causing the elevated terrain to create large stone archways.
