$17.99Farlands A farm on a cheap planet
You bought a whole planet for pocket change, an old farming rock at the edge of the galaxy. Farlands gives farming fans a cozy reset: clear weeds, reclaim fields, plant and harvest, raise animals, fish and craft while you slowly turn the place back into a homestead.

Reclaiming your bargain planet
You start with a worn-out ship, an assistance droid and a lot of weeds. Days are spent cutting back growth, clearing paths, reclaiming fields and repairing what time broke, then planting, watering and harvesting crops to fund the next fix. Animals, fishing, cooking and decorating fill out the routine, and sprinklers take over watering once you can craft them. It is a calm loop of tidy a little, grow a little, sell a little, with a whole planet as your garden plot.
A small solar system to farm around
Your farm is only home base. Your old ship still flies between planets in the system, where you gather resources to improve the farm, your tools and the ship itself. Each stop has its own look and materials to collect, plus a handful of residents with their own stories and reasons for staying out here.
Good to know before you move in?
Do you live on the farm planet full time?
No. Your homestead stays on your own agrarian planet, and you fly out when you need materials, fish, bugs or story progress. That means planning around fuel and trip time, and around crops and animals waiting back home.
What does your assistance droid do?
It arrives with you from the city as your one companion for the move. It keeps you company while you clear land and rebuild, which suits the quiet start before you meet the other residents scattered across the system.
Can you upgrade your tools and ship?
Yes. Resources gathered from other planets feed into better tools for the farm and a better ship for longer trips. Early flights are slow and costly, so upgrades change how far you can range in a day.
Is there fishing and bug catching as well as farming?
Yes. Alongside crops and animals, you can fish, catch bugs, mine and collect buried artefacts for the Ark. Those side collections tie into gifts, crafting and finishing the wider restoration job.
