Farm Together - WaaghMan


Farm Together has finished its Early Access process and is available now!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/673950/Farm_Together/

It's been an incredible experience to watch so many people enjoying the game and being so creative for the 7 months the game has been in Early Access! We sincerely hope you keep enjoying the game for a long time.

We want to thank our backers for the support and feedback offered through the whole process so, as compensation for the effort you've done (and endured our mistakes in some cases), we'll gift you with a Supporters Pack DLC for free, including exclusive clothing, hairstyles and a new tractor.

Also wanted to add: Don't you worry! We've got plenty of content planned for the future (starting with a Halloween event that will start next week), and plan to keep working on the game as long as there's a demand for it, so please pass by the Steam Forums, the Official subreddit, or the Official Discord group[discord.gg] and leave your comments!

Hi!



Today's update brings a number of changes in preparation for the exit of Early Access, which is coming very soon!

The most important feature added is the increase of the level cap from 100 to 999. All experience previously obtained will count towards the new cap, so you may go up a number of levels at once if you reached level 100 some time ago.

On top of that, you now have a very slight chance of getting a gold nugget when harvesting items. This chance will increase along with the level of an item.

Gold nuggets can be exchanged in a new building, the Pawn Shop, for other currency and resources.

We've also done some changes to the way game data is stored. This should lead to slightly shorter load times. You shouldn't have any problem with that, but please let us know if you experience any issue.

Today's Farm showcase: "Dog" by Furidos


New features:

  • Modern Fridge
  • New roads: Stone Tiles, Slate trail, gold trail
  • Plenty of new recipes and paintings.

Gameplay changes:
  • Increased level cap to 999. All levels above 100 will require the same amount of experience to level up.

Improvements:
  • Changed the way game data is stored. This is an engineering improvement that will enable us to create new builds faster, and could improve loading times too.
  • Improved fish rendering performance, like we did with animals in an earlier update.
  • Improved tree rendering performance when having many trees of the same type together.
  • Changed a bit the way Farmhands work area preview is shown.
  • Recipes are properly sorted in the Select Recipe window.
  • Shop window should fit in screen in 5:4 aspect ratios (for old TFT screens).

Hi!



Is your farm getting too big to handle it all by yourself? Don't worry, farmhands come to the rescue!

Farmhands will take care of most items within their range, for a price of course.

We're also adding the Guestbook, a Decoration where visiting players can sign and leave a message for others to see.
