The latest installment introduces a host of new features, including the addition of crops like rice, spinach, peas, and beans.

With over 25 different crops now available, players can tailor their farming experience to the region they choose, while also adapting to dynamic weather events such as fog, hail, and tornadoes.

Small yet impactful details, like tire tracks left by machinery in the soil, further enhance the immersive gameplay.

Of course, new production chains have been added as well. With the introduction of water buffalo and goats, you can now produce buffalo mozzarella and goat cheese, expanding your farm's productivity options.

The AI harvest helpers have also been improved to function seamlessly, adding to the overall smoothness of the game mechanics.
