Development · SEASON 5

From your first crops to a contract

Plant a wheat patch, save enough to replant, and work toward standard contracts at Farmer Level 5.

Start with a wheat patch

A small farm gives you something to tend between building trips. Plant wheat, gather the ripe crop and keep enough seeds to replant. As your Farmer Level rises, more crops become available across the planned ten-level progression.

Choose a contract

Standard contracts are planned to unlock at Farmer Level 5 after you complete the First Delivery practice challenge. A crop contract gives you a specific harvest to work toward: check what it asks for, decide whether to take it on, then set aside the crops you need to deliver.

That changes what you plant next. You might keep a field for a contract while saving another harvest for yourself. Contract requirements and rewards are still being balanced.

A planned farming loop: grow wheat, save seeds to replant, then choose a contract after Farmer Level 5 and First Delivery.
An example plan, not a contract offer. Requirements and rewards are still in development.

Leave something for another player

Contracts are one outlet for a harvest. The planned player marketplace is another. Someone preparing a large build may need food or farm supplies, while you may be looking for materials they have gathered. Decide what you can spare before offering it for sale.

Still in development

Farmer progression, rare harvests, contracts and trading are in development. Crop unlocks, balance and contract details may change before opening.
