Farlands Build 16984365 - early access

Farlands is a unique blend of farming simulation, life management, and space exploration set in a quirky, remote corner of the galaxy. You answer the call for a major lifestyle change by purchasing an entire planet—a long-forgotten, rustic rock in an outlying solar system—and transforming it into a thriving homestead. With only your trusty, worn-out ship and a personal assistance droid by your side, you’re set to reclaim an abandoned world.

In Farlands you’ll restore the planet by clearing overgrown fields, repairing what time has worn down, and building a vibrant community. As you cultivate your land, you’ll also interact with the few remaining inhabitants scattered throughout the solar system. Each neighbor has a story to tell, and through friendly exchanges, local events, and budding relationships, you’ll gradually uncover the hidden mysteries behind why they chose—and continue—to live in such an isolated region.

The game unfolds over a series of exciting updates during its Early Access phase. The early versions offer a sandbox experience focused on exploration and basic gameplay, with future updates gradually introducing deeper systems. Soon, you’ll find features like a dynamic calendar that marks the passage of time, seasonal events with quirky characters like Larry and Barry, and an expandable memory chip system unlocking new crafting recipes. As your homestead grows, you can upgrade your house with the help of Grubert the carpenter, decorate your interiors, and improve tools and appliances while experiencing changes in weather and food recipes.

Later updates bring a rich layer of social interaction. As you build closer relationships through events and engaging dialogue, you’ll even find yourself sending messages to neighbors and receiving in-game emails, adding a heartfelt community feel. Beyond friendship, the game introduces “peaceful” combat elements against hostile creatures in the mines, and expands your adventures by unlocking additional mines and even offering a desert planet called Vanadian. Here, unique mechanics such as perpetual day or night set the stage for challenging resource collection, encounters with alien wildlife, and the discovery of rare items from a dedicated merchant.

As you progress further, expect more intricate systems including the construction of stables and care for space creatures—each adding new layers to the gameplay and offering additional means to earn resources. Relationship milestones, like weddings with romanceable characters, will not only deepen the story but also unlock new decorations and events that shape the evolving narrative.

The culmination of these efforts will arrive with the 1.0 update, featuring a brand-new planet, Darmstad. This stage introduces fresh challenges such as oxygen mechanics and a third mine, steering the story toward an endgame while leaving room for post-launch content like achievements and complete story arcs.

Farlands invites you to embark on a continuously evolving adventure where restoration meets exploration. Join the community, discover hidden stories, and help bring a lost solar system back to its former glory—all while enjoying the satisfying and relaxing rhythm of life on an offbeat, agriculturally themed planet.
