About the game
You take charge of a working farm and decide what it produces. Drive tractors across fields, plant and harvest crops, look after livestock or cut timber. Seasonal growth changes when crops can be planted and harvested. Money from your work buys more land, machinery and buildings, and production chains turn raw materials into other goods.
Friends can work the same farm or run separate farms and help one another. One person can harvest while another carries the crop away, or everyone can take a different job. A PC or dedicated host supports sixteen players, while a console host supports six. The long fieldwork routines leave room for conversation, with equipment choices and farm finances giving the group something to plan.
