- The Farmer's Digest #3 - New Mill Turns Timber Into Trade - 29 June 2026
Hello, farmers!Phew! It's been a scorcher of a stretch out here! The kind of heat that has you working the fields at dawn and hiding in the shade by noon. Wherever you're farming from, we hope you're keeping cool and hydrated. If you missed what's been going on around the farm lately, here's the short on what changed.Sawmill Open for BusinessAfter a long wait, the Riverside Sawmill is running at last, bringing fresh trade and opportunity to this part of the land. For those of us used to working the soil, it's a whole different sort of trade.If you haven't seen it yet, the way to get the logs down to the sawmill is to drop them in the river and let them float there - a very satisfying watch.What you decide to do with the wood is up to you. Debark and sell the logs right away, or focus on selling planks. Whatever you go for, there's a word to be said for renovating with the planks you've…

- The Farmer's Digest #2 - Bales find their era, babies find their cradles - 1 June 2026
Another two weeks have passed! We know how it goes out here - tend to chickens, fertilize the fields, check what's wrong with the old tractor, and finally put up the new shelf.Time goes by fast - so here's what you've missed in the last 2 weeks. The biggest news out there right now is that the two eras are finally keeping their things to themselves. Hay bales, pallets, store-bought furniture, and equipment placed in one era will no longer bleed through into the other! If you set something down in the '60s, it stays in the '60s. A word of fair warning before you load your save: loose bales, ground pallets, and any previously placed store equipment all default to the Old Era. Your modern bathroom may load empty.There is news from the farmhouse as well. The family is growing more reliably and with rather less of babies disappearing into the wrong decade. Set up the cradle before the little…
