Illustration of an expanded farming valley: a farm and bus stop in front, a village in the middle, a cable car climbing to a hillside village, and a seaside town with a lighthouse.
The valley grows in every direction: up the ridge, along the coast and out past the bus stop. (Illustration made for this site.)

Where to go from here

  1. Start your farm

    What's different on day one.

  2. Learn the keys

    The shortcuts you'll use daily.

  3. Explore

    The four expansions and who lives there.

  4. Use the helpers

    Navigation, lookups and gift hints.

What's inside

Four big expansions do most of the work. Around them, dozens of smaller mods add helpers, animations and comfort fixes, all set up to work together.

Good to know before day one

  • Start a new save. The collection is built for one; old saves can confuse quests.
  • Loading is slow, and that's normal. Don't alt-tab or click away while it loads; that can crash it.
  • Settings live in Mod Options. Press Numpad - or use the gear on the title screen.
  • Co-op works when everyone has the same collection, versions and settings.
Two pixel-art farmers holding identical seed bags, each with a matching chicken.
Playing together? Matching setups or it won't connect. Make sure each player can start a solo farm first.

Need to install, update or fix an install? That's covered by the official collection documentation.
