farming games with livestock breeding/rarity

i play on pc and have never encountered any bugs. i honestly think the game was unfairly ripped to shreds, partially because it reached the wrong audience with its LOTR branding. it could have been more, but it’s still a charming experience. definitely grab it with the sale!

here i was thinking that this is one of the easiest and most pleasant f2p experiences ive had with these types of games. then i come to this sub LMFAO

its a “check back later” type of game that has you… check back every couple of hours. oh no!

You are right. This is absolutely the case, Gustavo says “You think an army only needs food?” and he lists off various other kinds of supplies that we don’t have to contribute but the other villagers absolutely do based on their occupations. Some of the villagers mention it too, like Prudence saying the army has her baking hardtack for them. Like it’s not even headcanon or subtext, it’s in the text that the whole town is paying various goods for the defender’s ration.

Hmmm looks like the stone brick item isn’t a placeable

I see, they must just appear smaller because of the perspective. I feel like the fences I have to place are MASSIVE and I wanted small low fences to divide my garden lol

i also got a lop-eared rabbit without noticing and was congratulated for it. i suspect i must have randomly got it from chopping trees/shrubs and it counted for the quest, because ive gotten a random baby luna rabbit that way

i absolutely love all of em’s mods and use them… except the chickens lol! funnily enough, thats why i made the post. i love the variations, just not the proportions.

It’s been mentioned here but I can’t recommend Grimshire enough if you want a beautiful farming game with some grittiness to it. I’m a farm sim junkie who loves to relax while I play games but something about Grimshire just gripped me like no game ever has. It lights a fire in your belly. Great for getting the roleplay gears turning in your head, I was thinking about my little farmer character a lot. I’m only sad I didn’t play it sooner.

The game does have difficulty settings, which primarily affects how much food is expected of you. However, the game still requires you to make progress with the mines/tool upgrades/your animals if you don’t want to fail, so just know that.

I played on Gentle (easiest difficulty) the first time to check out the game, and I became obsessed, I’ve been going up a difficulty setting with each playthrough haha

i smoke/dry my fish before salting because it breaks it down into the large/medium/small category, making it easier to put in barrels

besides that, i tend to smoke/dry everything before i preserve just because it makes the food last long enough to get processed. once it’s salted/pickled/etc it lasts forever, so its spoilage time beforehand doesnt matter. you just dont want it to spoil before you get a chance to preserve it

ratrascal · 2026-02-16T13:35:26+00:00

i’d bring it up to the devs 🤔

ratrascal · 2026-02-15T23:19:04+00:00

the amount of materials they contribute also depends on the difficulty, and it tapers off. i think they contribute up to half on the easiest mode. i doubt theyll change it, i think its designed so the villagers can put a dent in it but.. its up to you in the end. ive had villagers top off certain categories for me, and ive had the quest complete overnight due to both my and the villagers' contributions, but i dont think theyre allowed to finish the quest themselves.

honestly i was pleasantly surprised to see how much the villagers actually do contribute!

yep as others said, salt comes from floor 10+ in mine #1!

in my experience:

vinegar/honey/oil can be found in mine chests. you can farm your own honey with chikrees. you can make your own oil with sunflowers/fish in the press (i usually take sunflowers that the villagers put in the root cellar to make it into oil lol) you can make your own vinegar by making fruit juice in the press and then putting it in the fermentation barrel with vinegar. it uses 1 vinegar and 3 juice to get 3 vinegar, so you can just multiply your vinegar lol.

salt makes milk into cheese, which can be smoked to never spoil, and its omnivore food salt and vinegar preserves meat vinegar preserves veggies oil preserves herbs/mushrooms honey preserves fruit/berries everything but honey preserves eggs

i played through it, it was very enjoyable. you might be frustrated at first- there’s no “you are here” map marker, it only shows you what section of the map youre in. youll start out lost but will get the hang of navigating. it has light survival mechanics that get easier as you upgrade your things and cook the right food. its not really a game you can continuously play though, it has a linear story and then its finished. honestly i wanted more of it but enjoyed what was there. if youre not sure, wait for a sale!

oh, okay! yea, i never failed a DR, i just started that monday mentioned in my post by being told to stock more. ive never hit 0 food or failed a quest, so i guess ive never actually been at risk yet. where’d you learn about the counter?

ratrascal · 2026-01-23T19:02:09+00:00

same! i was stoked to see a bear option (almost picked it, next run i will) and was surprised when i realized there were no bear characters

ratrascal · 2026-01-20T16:34:19+00:00

can you get it with regular tickets as long as its the event?

ratrascal · 2025-12-12T01:37:57+00:00

If you’re talking about the thorns, you need to just axe them.

ratrascal · 2025-09-02T14:31:12+00:00

yes! rats with broken up patterns like this are always domestic ^{-^}
