Welcome back, farmers! In today's devlog, we’re diving into one of the essential aspects of running a successful farm: keeping your vehicles fueled and ready to go.

Howdy Farmers! 🧑🌾 👩🌾 We're back with another exciting update on Family Land - Farmer Simulator's development journey.

Hello Farmers! 🌽 🚜 As you know the development of our farming simulator game is going very well and we can't wait to show you how the game looks and plays right now. But don’t worry, soon you will be able to tell, as we are taking part in the Farming Fest and you will be able to see the State of development video which shows you how the game looks in its current state. As we progressed with work we came to the conclusion that we want the name to reflect what feeling and atmosphere bring to you in our game.

That’s why we decide to change the name of our game to: With this change we want to bring you closer to William's family history and what was the relationship between Jo…
- It’s all connected - 12 April 2024
There is nothing more common in the land of Ameryka than opportunities. You, as a barn finder, made your wealth by turning someone else's trash into gold and treasure. You dived through trash cans, old barns, old movie studios or even a moon base (spoilers) and flipped whatever you found there into hard earned cash. But what if you want to look for opportunities outside the life of a pawnshop owner? There are many opportunities to do so, and we are working and them as we speak. And in each of them you will be able to see traces of our previous work. And as in title - it’s all connected 🙂 Let me show you some of the examples: In Farm Simulator you will have the opportunity to make contracts with various client bases. From time to time some well known character will order a stock of what would seem like a base for a moonshine. Who is this handsome man? I think you know 🙂 Not mentioning…

- Farm Simulator Devlog #10 📦 - 1 December 2023
Greetings Farmers, In the vast landscape of Farm Simulator, we're delving into a critical aspect that demands your attention – storage. Every fruit of your labor is susceptible to spoilage (the same goes for processed food, albeit at a slower pace). However, fear not, as there are methods to thwart this inevitable decay. Building Capacity Players must construct structures that amplify the farm's capacity, enabling the long-term preservation of food. When faced with excess corn and limited storage, choices become crucial – either feed it to the animals or swiftly sell it to the market, though the latter might not yield substantial profits. Storage Solutions Silos Purpose: Grain storage. Effect: Extends the shelf life of stored grain by 12 months. (The quality of the silo influences this duration; a poor silo might preserve corn for a month, while an excellent one can extend it to 2 years…
