One farm, several drivers
Multiplayer lets you manage the same farm together with co-op friends over the internet or local network. You split the workday across a 4 km patch of rolling countryside: plowing, seeding, baling, spreading manure, milking and feeding cows.
It suits a casual session where everyone grabs a vehicle and takes a job. Progress is shared too, since completed tasks build wealth to spend on newer tractors, combine harvesters, plows, seeders and balers. Computer-controlled helpers can cover a field when your crew is short-handed.
Slow days and better machines
Career mode casts you as a young farmer starting with a small choice of vehicles on fairly sparse farmland. The loop is plain farm work in order: breed and feed cattle, plow, seed, harvest, sell, then invest in better gear.
The draw is authentic licensed equipment from DEUTZ-FAHR, KRONE, HORSCH, PÖTTINGER and VOGEL & NOOT. Earning a more capable tractor feels like a real step up because those 18-hour days take time. Pace is deliberate and repetitive, which is the point if you like routine, and a dry test of friendship if you do not.
Good to know before you start?
Can you play it solo?
Yes. Career mode is a single-player farm where you run the fields and cattle on your own, and you can hire computer-controlled helpers to drive while you handle another task.
How big is the starting farm?
Small on purpose. You begin with a limited choice of vehicles and fairly sparse land measuring 4 km, then expand your fleet and wealth through harvests and cattle work.
What machines can you drive?
A fleet of licensed farming equipment, including tractors, combine harvesters, plows, seeders and balers from makers such as DEUTZ-FAHR, KRONE, HORSCH, PÖTTINGER and VOGEL & NOOT, plus more sophisticated tools as you earn.
