If you call a helper to harvest potato or beet fields, he uses the regular grain harvester, which leads to no harvest income. We are planning to patch this tomorrow, 7.8.
Hello farmers!
If you spend enough seasons on the land, you will quickly learn that grain pays the bills, but the potato keeps you fed. If you've been waiting for a proper staple to put in your soil, then we've got good news for you...
Have a look at the patch notes for the full details.
Potatoes and beets are now available for your farm! You can find them in the agricultural stores, get them in the ground, and watch their growing stages from seed to harvest.
Whether you farm in the old era or the modern one, there's a machine built for the job. Use one of the eight new era-specific machines:
Classic and modern potato planters
Classic and modern potato harvesters
Classic and modern beet seeders
Classic and modern beet harvesters
Not sure which tool fits? Your AI helper can give you a hint if you need one. It also supports planting both potatoes and beets, and it picks the correct machinery for whichever era you're farming in.
When it's time to bring the harvest in, the new potato and beet harvesters show unloading targeting indicators. The indicator turns green when you're lined up above a compatible trailer or chute, so you won't have to guess.
Dedicated potato and beet storage are ready for your bountiful harvests, each with a capacity of 40 tonnes. To keep your operation tidy, storage facilities, silos, seeders, planters, harvesters, and selling chutes now only accept their intended contents, so nothing ends up where it doesn't belong.
When you're ready to sell, new dedicated potato and beet selling chutes have been added near all three grain silos. Prices for both crops are on the market map, and the market now moves with price fluctuations, so keep an eye out for the right moment to sell.
Your farm statistics menu has been reformatted to keep track of everything, now including your stored potatoes, beets, and their seeds.
We hope you enjoy your time on the farm with new crops.
Happy farming!
Removed the incorrect message stating that 50 Social Points were earned when removing furniture by pressing E.
Area information (field and forest name) is now displayed near the centre of the relevant area instead of at the right edge of the screen. This should make locations easier to identify, but we might improve this further based on player feedback.
Reduced the selling prices of wood in regular shops. Market prices should now be more profitable, although the difference depends on the type of wood.
Reworked farm value calculations to increase the potential profit from restoring and reselling farms. Returns vary depending on the farm’s condition and the amount of work required, but some farms can now generate profits well above 140% of the invested money.
Ducks now produce proper duck eggs. Previously, collected duck eggs were treated as regular chicken eggs.
Duck eggs are noticeably more valuable because ducks are less common and their eggs are more difficult to obtain.
Added two recipes using duck eggs:
Duck eggs with paprika
Duck egg soup with white sausage and wild mushrooms
Tomato soup nutrition reduced from 45 to 30.
Sausage in sweet cola sauce value increased from 10.50 to 11.50.
Shakshouka nutrition reduced from 75 to 65.
Lumberjack’s stew nutrition reduced from 85 to 72.
Steak nutrition increased from 45 to 50.
Shashlik nutrition increased from 35 to 40.
Grilled chicken legs nutrition increased from 32 to 35.
Fried chicken legs nutrition increased from 40 to 50.
Cola chicken legs nutrition increased from 42 to 54.
Pasta with tomato sauce nutrition increased from 30 to 45.
Pasta with wild mushrooms nutrition increased from 28 to 42.
Reduced the number of dishes produced per batch of ingredients:
Letcho: 1
Shakshouka: 1
Lumberjack’s stew: 2
Uncooked white sausage has been moved to Basic Recipes.
Fried eggs with sausage have been moved to Traditional Recipes.
Daisy Markets now sell flour in small packages instead of large sacks. You must sleep for one night before this change takes effect.
Player-built fireplaces can now be dismantled with an axe.
When approaching a player-built fireplace while holding an axe, a prompt to remove it will appear.
Removing the fireplace returns its remaining wood to your inventory.
When not holding an axe, the regular prompt to add wood will appear.
Predefined fireplaces placed in the world cannot be removed and continue to display the regular prompt.
Picking up building materials other than wood, such as bricks, no longer incorrectly describes them as pine planks.
Rebuilding with new materials now displays the correct material in the interaction prompt instead of defaulting to pine planks.
Fixed an issue that could cause rare and important items, including Damsel and Lucky, to be sold when selling the item positioned before them in the inventory menu.
Fixed multi-cooking recipes that required ingredients from more than one stack. The game now correctly finds and consumes ingredients across multiple stacks.
Fixed incorrect stacking when cooking more than 250 items at once. Additional stacks are now created as needed, preventing oversized stacks and potential item loss when selling them.
Fixed non-functional garage gates at the purchasable farm northwest of Nathan and Nelly’s farm. This fix applies to new games.
Fixed an invisible greenhouse table at the purchasable farm north of town. This fix applies to new games.
Hello, farmers!
We hope your mills are running smoothly.
Today, apart from the patch, we wanted to share an update for the "extras" you can purchase: the Official Cookbook and the Official Guide.
In the Official Guide, you'll find all the basic information, as well as details about neighbors, crops, machines, animals, products, and more.
After this update, there's also a map for the treasure chests, plus content from the latest updates!
For those of you intrigued, the Official Cookbook is full of hearty recipes inspired by the game's rustic world, now with three more recipes added!
If you already own either of these, make sure you download them again to see the latest version!
If you don't, go ahead and check them out. Both are available in EN and DE.
Players who owned a cat in the 1960s will now also have a new cat in modern times. This is, of course, a different cat.
Players who owned a dog in the 1960s will now also have a new dog in modern times. This is, of course, a different dog.
Added a new section to the cooking menu: Herbal Potions.
Added 4 potions (duration: 20 minutes real time) and 2 herbal products to the Herbal Potions section:
Owl Potion — night vision
Sun Potion — removes the need for food and sleep
Beaver Potion — faster repairs, building, axe cutting, and chainsaw cutting
Mountain Potion — increases inventory weight capacity by 200
Herbal Shampoo — for sale
Herbal Skin Lotion — for sale
Added functional effect descriptions for potions.
Added new LODs for the old log trailer.
Added a game menu option to enable or disable AI traffic.
Added 4 more log slots to the old log trailer to better support overloaded saves.
Redesigned the old log trailer for improved physics and a different appearance.
Lumber mill gates are now permanently left open.
Quest rewards that unlock perks now detect if the player already has the rewarded perk.
If the perk is already unlocked, the player receives an additional reward instead:
2000 cash
4 Mountain Potions
A special message is also displayed to acknowledge the player's progress.
Dropping logs onto a full log trailer is now forbidden, and a proper message is displayed.
Rebalanced food recipes and some prices for sausages, grilled vegetables, and shashlik to improve ingredient and cash balance.
Uncooked white sausage is now twice as cheap, but twice as many are produced per meat piece.
Fixed the game info panel in the 1960s always displaying the dog as owned.
Fixed lights on the modern-era log trailer.
Fixed a non-working light switch at the lumber mill.
Fixed improper rotation on one of the cat's resting places.
Fixed an issue where very thin tree logs could behave incorrectly on the ground and on log trailers.
Fixed multiple tree hierarchy and log physics issues.
These issues could cause log trailers to fly away or be pushed into the ground.
Logs could be unstable when picked up.
Some logs could fall below the terrain or float in the air.
Logs could behave incorrectly in water or on sawmill conveyor belts before debarking.
Save compatibility is preserved.
Fixed log trailer loading and transport physics.
Logs on trailers are now handled like hay bales or pallets.
Logs are teleported from the crane into place and picked up in the same way.
Physical collisions between logs and trailers are no longer simulated, preventing terrain- and physics-related bugs.
Older saves are decoded properly for compatibility.
Fixed rare cases where loading older saves with log trailers on steep slopes or extreme terrain could cause logs to slip away from the trailer.
Fixed an issue where loading saves with the new trailer log system could incorrectly index some logs, lifting or detaching them.
Fixed cow statistics showing more cows available for milking than were actually owned.
Fixed wool statistics being calculated incorrectly, sometimes showing wool available even when the player owned no sheep.
Fixed inventory weight calculation when auto-placing humid pallets inside wood dryers.
Fixed BBQs not being pickable after being placed. The BBQ perk is still required.
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.
After 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 made: the wood you choose decides the look!
Out by the mill, little goes to waste. Bark, sawdust, and woodchips now have their worth. Sell them by the grain markets, or carry them the longer way to Ernesto and Ricardo's, who pay double for woodchips to smoke their meat.
No one understands better than a farmer that what is taken must be given back. In that same spirit, you can now replant the forests that fed the sawmill.
Five kinds of trees take root: Birch, Oak, Pine, Poplar, and Spruce! Each grows from seedling to young tree to one fit for felling. Give it some time, and the treeline returns.
Oh, and there's a new radio available: Hyperion Radio. Something to whistle along to while the woodchips fly.
From the first felled log to the last replanted sapling, it's all in your hands now.
Until next time, farmers!
We know the log trailers and log handling system have been giving you trouble. This update addresses several of the reported issues, but you may still run into some bumps along the way. We appreciate your patience while we continue working on this. If you encounter more issues, do not hesitate to write us and share your save file through our help desk here: https://support.toplitz-productions.com/
Introduced an alternate, faster mode of inserting wet pallets into dryers. Don't hold the pallet in front of you, just approach the dryer and look at it. If you have a pallet of wet planks in inventory, a prompt will appear to click, and the pallet will be inserted there automatically from your inventory.
Pad steering was changed from (B) to (RB)+(B). This was done because hitching / unchitching equipment was interfering with menu exit
Improved physics & suspension of Old Log Trailer.
Remodeled the Old Log Trailer.
Added LODs to Old Log Trailer.
Added Cat and Dog models to the farm in the future if you had them in the past (different models).
Sawmill main switch now has its unique prompt, instead of generic "open / activate"
Oak fetches 1.5 times the price when sold (was 1.4).
Tools menu (circle) displays wood for a selected plank pallet.
Fixed descriptions of rake and watering can.
Fixed vehicles falling through the platform at log drop points on load.
Fixed mesh of a new wardrobe.
Fixed stacking of some items (honey jars etc).
Hello farmers!
Have you ever looked out at the treeline from your porch and seen more than just wood? A bit of potential, maybe? If that's you, or if you simply like working with timber, then we've got good news for you...Have a look at patch notes for details.
We hope you will enjoy your lumbering adventures and share them with us too on our Discord server or here on Steam.
TIMBEEER~!!!

Dried plank pallets are worth more and unlock crafting, rebuilding, and renovation uses
Two drying areas added, both clearly marked:
Powered heated drying area — dries planks faster
Roof-covered drying area — dries planks more slowly
Each plank pallet now displays its drying progress as a percentage
Added land clearing support
Players can now cut all trees and bushes from an area
Players can remove all stumps
Cleared areas can effectively be turned into fields

Fully grown tree (harvestable)
Added five categories of trees
Each tree category produces differently colored plank pallets
Using different dried plank types in rebuilding transfers the wood color to rebuilt walls and surfaces
These surfaces can still be repainted afterward
The sawmill now automatically creates byproducts during operation:
Bark
Sawdust
Woodchips
Each byproduct has its own dedicated silo
Byproducts can be collected from silos using grain trailers
Added dedicated sale points near grain markets for Bark, Sawdust, and Woodchips
These sale points are clearly marked and display prices
Added a special woodchip buyer at Ernesto & Ricardo's
They buy woodchips at double price because they use them for smoking meat
Their location is farther away, creating a higher-effort, higher-reward delivery option
Added new furniture items requiring dried planks to craft
The new furniture is more detailed and sophisticated than the basic furniture set
New furniture is added to the crafting table menu
Rebalanced rebuilding and renovation tasks to make better use of dried plank pallets
This makes the practical value of drying and storing planks clearer
Added a clear value progression for sawmill products:
Raw logs → Debarked logs → Wet planks → Dried planks → Different wood species → Crafted outputs
Higher-effort production steps now provide better rewards
Drying planks clearly increases value and unlocks additional uses
Added Hyperion Radio Station
Fixed an issue where logs on log trailers could push the trailer into the ground, causing multiple physics-related bugs

Hello farmers!
The next update is on its way, and it's been long-awaited by many of you. This one is going to make some noise! The good kind, from a sawmill finally running.And that's not all that's in store. Stay tuned!
Edit: due to technical difficulties, we moved the update to June 18th - thank you for your patience!
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 one arrives, have a proper bed waiting by the fourth birthday, and the rest will follow naturally. After all, a farm is much livelier with children running around the yard. Out in the fields, the seasons are less forgiving of late sowing, and the string trimmer has finally made its way into the hands of the Old Era vendors. The modern flatbed trailer is at the vehicle store near the southern bridge, for those who have been waiting for it. The fields are waiting, the cradle is empty, and the bathroom may need furnishing. Best get to it, farmers!Fixed a false interaction prompt appearing when holding a hay bale near a grain trailer.
Fixed hay bales persisting across both timelines, surviving travel back and forth in time.
Fixed hay bales from the wrong timeline floating in the air when placed on a trailer from the other era.
Hay bales now sell only within their proper era.
Internally, bales are now correctly sorted regarding physics, pickup detection, and era visibility - they no longer exist in the era they do not belong to.
All loose hay bales are loaded as 60's game era bales, so they will disappear from modern times. This will happen only once, when loading current saves - bales will be saved and loaded properly in their respective times from now on.
All bales saved on trailers should load properly in proper times depending on their trailers.
Fixed placed store-bought equipment existing across both timelines — items set in the past were appearing in the future and vice versa. Items now belong only to the era in which they were placed.
Items held in inventory remain in their proper inventory.
Store equipment is now remembered, saved, and loaded correctly.
No era data was stored for previously placed items. All store-bought equipment loaded from existing saves defaults to the Old Era (60s), regardless of where it was originally placed. Due to this change, existing modern-style bathrooms may load without any furnishings immediately after the patch.“
Fixed pallets left on the ground existing in both timelines at the same time.
From now on, pallets placed in Modern Times stay in Modern Times, and pallets placed in the 60s stay in the 60s.
Pallets stored on vehicles or trailers are not affected - they already belonged to the correct era and will no longer float in the air in the other timeline.
All pallets are now saved and loaded correctly.
Pallets left on the ground in existing saves default to the Old Era (60s) upon loading, where they can be picked up and used.
Simplified the conditions for the wife to become pregnant. She now has a 1-in-10 chance of becoming pregnant each time the player sleeps in the same bed with her.
Simplified the conditions for giving birth. If the wife is pregnant, the baby is born approximately 275 days after conception.
The second child can only be conceived once the first child is at least 4 years old.
The wife's ES now displays clear information when she is pregnant.
A cradle must be present at home for a newborn baby to be able to see it. A kids' bed is required once the child turns 4.
Fixed children in Modern Times being born but then lost by the game. Both timelines now have their own distinct babies and children.
Fixed hand-built furniture (such as beds) placed in the future leaking into the past after loading a save.
Fixed an infant in the future appearing to run in the yard due to the game briefly confusing era furniture, leaving him without a cradle.
The modern flatbed trailer is now available for purchase at the vehicle store near the southern bridge (close to the fuel station and building materials shop) in Modern Times.
Added special string trimmer for the Old Era.
Jack, Pablo, Weston and Roche (in the ‘60s) and Tony (in Modern Times) now sell string trimmers.
Vehicle descriptions/functions are now displayed alongside the vehicle name when using ES.
Late harvests (Nov–Dec) now yield 20% fewer crops if sown late.
Cut grass (hay) is no longer recognized as a tool or placed in the tool belt after being picked up.
Cut grass can now be transformed into animal food in both the Barn and Cowshed.
Enter the building, select cut grass in your inventory, and the proper option will appear.
Adjusted cut grass weight balance:
1 piece of cut grass now weighs 1 unit in inventory.
Converts into 10 kg of hay in storage buildings.
Gardening data is now separated between Old Era and Modern Era.
Gardening progress now saves correctly as two distinct data sets.
Existing saves without Modern Era gardening data will temporarily use Old Era data to avoid losing progress, but both eras will now progress independently.
Ground that was shoveled or raked without seeds planted no longer resets after jumping between eras on the same day.
Ground state now properly persists after returning from era jumps.
Vehicles should no longer slide down steep hills after exiting.
Added working sounds for headers, hay balers, and fertilizers.
Reworked geometry and physics for the 9m cereal header to improve stability after spawning in stores or loading saves at low FPS.
Fixed optical glitch on Alabio 530 vehicle LCD controls.
Cars no longer appear to drive above bridges.
Fixed underground building parts behind Jeremy’s farm.
Fixed staircase sections outside the player house not properly touching the ground.
Fixed painting issues on the starting farm main house staircase.
Fixed missing beams under the veranda of the main house.
Moved a treasure chest hidden in a buyable forest in the northeast so it no longer obstructs farm work.
Round Table #2 can now be placed correctly.
Fixed porch collision box trapping the player while sprinting into it.
We in the farming business know how busy it gets out there. If you've missed the last fortnight of patch notes, here is what changed while you were away.
If you haven't yet, now's the time to give the fields a break and visit the kitchen. Ten new recipes have been added! Whether you're hungry for lasagna, pierogi, cheesecake, or pasta, there is plenty to choose from. All of it backed by a reworked flour system that now comes in 10-unit sacks, splitting into individual bags without value or weight loss.
Meanwhile, in the barn, chickens now produce double the meat and chicken legs, a timely change given all those new chicken recipes waiting to be cooked.
Winter farming is here. Wheat, rye, and barley planted from early September now qualify as winter crops, yielding 20–25% more come harvest. The catch: plan carefully, because everything else left in the ground will not survive the frost.
The biggest mechanical change concerns equipment. Old and modern machines are now fully separated, which means no cross-compatibility between eras. Additionally, combines can now tow header trailers directly, removing the need for a tractor as a middleman. If you head to the vehicle store, you will see all of it there.
What will you be cooking first, farmers?
“Flour” renamed to “Sack of Flour” (10 units instead of 5)
Can be split into 10 Bags of Flour in inventory
No loss in value or weight when splitting
Bags can be used for cooking
Homemade cheese
Grilled chicken legs
Pasta with tomato sauce
Pasta with wild mushrooms
Cola-marinated chicken legs
Fried chicken legs with tomato & zucchini
Lasagna
Pierogi with cheese

Most crops: 80–180 days
Corn: 95–186 days
Sunflower: 90–156 days
Chickens now yield:
2x Meat
2x Chicken Legs
Milk weight increased from 0.5 → 1
Old and modern equipment are now separated:
Old: combine + headers + trailers
Modern: combine + headers + trailers
No cross-compatibility
Combines can now tow header trailers directly (no tractor needed)
Added prompts for attaching/detaching headers from trailers
Updated vehicle store availability
Added old combine to modern-era store (for old equipment use)
Completing the Audrey & Claire quest in the 60s now grants Manager skill points (in exchange for managing fertilizer), allowing players to manually unlock worker skills. A notification is now displayed when points are awarded.
Players who had already completed the Audrey & Claire quest before this update will automatically receive the missing Manager skill points upon loading their save, along with a notification.
Selling animals now shows correct leather rewards (icon and amount)
Crops sown after September 13 being treated as early-year crops (causing instant growth/wither)
Winter crops not being properly recognized
Incorrect seed names in agro magazine and seeder UI
Chili expiration randomness in greenhouse
Fixed winter crops dying when sleeping through the New Year for multiple days (such as weekly sleep or sleeping until Spring) before October 31. Winter crops should now survive correctly and yield proper harvests the following year.
Improved visuals for old and modern header trailers
Added tarpaulin to modern fertilizer spreader
Added LOD improvements for fertilizer and header trailers
Added sound when attaching header to trailer
Fixed collision issues with small old corn header

Fixed workers driving around fields without harvesting crops when the player was outside the field area. Crops, harvesting progress, and earnings now update properly.
Fixed a rare issue where switching between eras could corrupt field data and remove crops.
Fixed an issue where radio volume was affecting the overall system volume
Fixed an issue where radio volume was incorrectly overwriting sound settings when loading the game config
Internet radio is now disabled by default in vehicles (only game music plays) - the player can decide to toggle it or not.
Radio toggle preference is now properly saved and loaded
Added controller (LS) support for radio controls, including proper on-screen prompts
Added old and new tractors to the vehicle store by the southern bridge (near the fuel station and Brico Marché)

Hello farmers!
The time has come for our first content update – Machine Legends: Historical.
At the heart of this update is a new set of vehicles and attachments to support your daily work on the farm!
You’ll get your hands on a new tractor and make use of a seeder, manure spreader, and headers for both cereal and corn.
Farming is also about the time you spend in the field. That’s why we’ve introduced in-vehicle radios. Now, as you plow, sow, and harvest, you can enjoy music along the way and set the tone for your day on the farm.
We’re still working on more for this update, but we didn’t want to keep you waiting for the weekend.
Let us know how your weekend farming is going – we’ll be back with more updates very soon!

About quests, time lock, and inability to sleep:
Key tutorial quests needed to unlock time progression (Introduction, Emily’s Barn, Meet Jeremy, Hen Owner) are now easier to spot. They are highlighted in distinct colors, and the label “Tutorial” has been added to their titles in both the HUD and the map quest list.
Until these are complete to the point of when player can go to sleep before Spring, game also displays "Tutorial 1st day" in tutorial-specific colors, just over quest info on screen - regardless of which quest is actually selected. This way player always knows if he is in the tutorial, which he has to finish in order to play freely.
This change also applies to existing save files, including those loaded partway through the tutorial.
