In The Farmer Was Replaced you write simple, Python-inspired code to pilot a drone that handles all the tedious aspects of farming for you. Instead of manually planting, harvesting, and transporting crops, you press "execute" and watch your autonomous helper carry out each step-turning grindy chores into a hands-off programming challenge.
As you collect harvested goods, you earn resources that unlock faster motors, bigger storage bins, smarter sensors and other upgrades. Over time your scripts run more efficiently, letting you tackle larger fields and more complex tasks. There are no separate levels or fixed stages; the game flows continuously from basic tutorials right through to intricate automation problems.
The built-in lessons introduce programming concepts one at a time, so even complete beginners learn how variables, loops and functions work. You’re free, however, to devise your own solutions-there’s no line-by-line guide to copy. Newcomers may find some puzzles tough, while seasoned coders will breeze through early challenges and soon face the deeper puzzles of advanced drone management. Whether you’re honing your first loops or optimizing a multi-step assembly line, this farming sim turns every crop field into a programming playground.
🎨 Custom Themes, Editor Improvements 🎨
Hey folks, 👋 I have just pushed a new update and this one is especially interesting if you like to customize the colors of your coding environment. You can now choose between different color themes, including a night mode and a light mode. For those of you celebrating, I've added a Lunar New Year theme. But even better: you can create and fully customize your own theme. Every color in the game can be adjusted using hexadecimal values, and changes update instantly in-game. I’ve also added several community-submitted translations (Czech, Traditional Chinese, and Ukrainian). These are marked as unofficial for now, but I wanted to make them available since many of you have asked for them. For those using external editors: Python type annotations are now ignored by the game, so you can use them freely. Autocomplete has been improved to immediately register new variables, and the editor should feel slightly faster overall. Although very large files can still slow it down. As always, thank you for the feedback and bug reports. It really helps. 🔥 🎨 How to Create Your Own Theme You can customize and add your own themes here: Windows: %userprofile%AppDataLocalLowTheFarmerWasReplacedTheFarmerWasReplacedThemes Mac: /Users/%userprofile%/Library/ApplicationSupport/com.TheFarmerWasReplaced.TheFarmerWasReplaced/Themes Open Custom.tfwrTheme (for example with Visual Studio Code). Change any color using hexadecimal codes. (VS Code even shows a live color preview.) In-game: Open the settings and switch to the custom theme. Changes will update immediately. If you want to share your theme, renam...
