About the game
You start with land, machinery and a choice of what to grow. You prepare fields, sow crops, harvest them and move the produce to storage or a buyer. Animals, forestry and production buildings give you other ways to earn money. Different crops need different tools, so each purchase changes the work your farm can take on.
Online friends can work on the same farm or manage separate farms on one map. One person can harvest while another drives a trailer alongside, then someone else takes the grain away. You decide how much to share and which jobs to tackle. There is room to chat during long stretches of fieldwork, but learning the equipment and planning around seasons takes patience.
