Paper Mill

Paper Mill is a building in Timberborn. It was introduced during the game's Open Alpha and has appeared in multiple development stages since that introduction. The building has undergone visual and availability changes across patches and updates as the game moved from alpha into Early Access and beyond.

The Paper Mill used a different model prior to Early Access Patch 2021-10-07, at which point the model that had been in use was replaced. Later development updates altered the Paper Mill’s faction availability. Update 5 changed the Paper Mill to be exclusive to the Folktails faction, making it unavailable to other factions introduced or present in the game at that time. Historical asset sets include an obsolete variant associated with the Iron Teeth faction, evidenced by the preserved image labeled Paper Mill (Iron Teeth) (Obsolete).png and referenced as an obsolete Iron Teeth Paper Mill image.

• The Paper Mill was first introduced in the Open Alpha phase of development.
• The Paper Mill’s model was different before Early Access Patch 2021-10-07; that older model is no longer the in-game default after that patch.
• As of Update 5, the Paper Mill is exclusive to the Folktails faction.
• An obsolete Iron Teeth variant of the Paper Mill exists in legacy image assets, indicating earlier faction-specific visuals.

These details reflect the Paper Mill’s development and asset history across Timberborn’s alpha and update cycle. Historical assets and patch notes document the building’s visual revisions and its reassignment to faction exclusivity, but do not provide technical or gameplay mechanics in these sources.
