Four seasons on the farm
Winter changes everything here. You plant and harvest around the calendar, clear snow when it sets in, and keep animals fed through the cold months. Mulching and stone picking add extra groundwork between jobs, and greenhouses and beehives keep things ticking over out of season. Time moves on with or without you, so the work is deciding what gets done first.
Machines, land, and what to grow
You have more than 400 machines and tools from over 100 real brands, including John Deere, Fendt, and New Holland. Put them to use across three very different places: a vineyard and olive grove in the south of France, wheat, corn, potatoes, and cotton in the US Midwest, or livestock in the Alpine hills. Crops, animals, and forestry are all separate ways to earn, and each needs its own kit.
From raw crop to finished goods
Harvest is only the middle of the chain. You can extend the farm with production chains that turn milk, grain, and other goods into products to sell for more. It grows one sensible purchase at a time, which is how small farms become agricultural empires.
Farm alone, together, or rebuilt by mods
You can run the whole operation solo in first or third person, hire AI helpers for the long rows, or share the work in crossplatform multiplayer with friends. The character creator lets you shape your own farmer before you start. Free community mods, tested by GIANTS Software, add new maps, machines, and tweaks on top, so the farm never has to look the same twice.
What else should you know?
How do seasons change the work?
Agriculture, animal care, and forestry all run on a seasonal calendar, with winter bringing snow and extra upkeep. You plan sowing and harvest around it, use greenhouses and beehives for off-season income, and take on seasonal challenges when they appear.
What can you actually produce?
Beyond field crops like wheat, corn, potatoes, and cotton, plus grapes and olives, you can keep animals, work forests, and feed everything into production chains. Those buildings process your goods further before sale, which is where the management side gets interesting.
How does multiplayer work?
You can run your farm together with friends in crossplatform multiplayer, splitting driving, harvesting, animal care, and building between you. Solo players can hire AI workers instead, though expect to keep an eye on them.
Do mods matter much?
Yes. Free community mods extend maps, machines, and daily farm life, and they are officially tested by GIANTS Software. Tags also list the game as moddable, singleplayer and multiplayer, open world, and family friendly.
