Folktails

Folktails is a playable faction in Timberborn defined by a distinct visual style and a set of unique housing options. Folktails beavers are light-coloured compared with other factions, and the faction has several lodges and lodge variants as its signature buildings. The folktails portrait and icons show the model beaver used for the faction, and the demo-era Beavers of Demoria became the basis for Folktails; the community name for the model beaver was Mangonel.

Folktails start with access to multiple housing buildings that scale from a tiny single-resident lodge to a large multi-story residence. The Mini Lodge is the smallest and cheapest option: it is 1x2 tiles in size and provides housing for 1 beaver; it is inexpensive to unlock and inexpensive to build (unlock cost 50, build cost 5). The standard Lodge is 2x2 tiles, houses 3 beavers, and costs 12 to build. The Lodge (Mirrored) is functionally the same as the Lodge but with its entrance mirrored to the opposite side. The Double Lodge is the first two-story housing available to Folktails: it unlocks later (unlock cost 150) and costs 20 to build, and it provides double the housing of a Lodge and Lodge (Mirrored) combined for a total of 6 residents; its entrance is on the second floor and requires path planning to reach. The Triple Lodge is the largest Folktails dwelling, sized 3x2 tiles and two stories tall, housing 9 beavers; it unlocks and builds at higher cost (unlock cost 250, build cost 35) and also places its entrance on the second floor.
