Micro Macro Farm news & patch notes

Hey there!

Hope you are enjoying the new update so far! I added a few improvements and also made the inventory highlighting better, added a black background to the tooltip text on top and added a new max button to recipe selections.

The max button will jump to the currently maximum amount you can produce with the ingredients you have stored, even if a mastery allows production of 10 items at a time, if you only have enought ingredients for 5 it will jump to 5.

I am already working on the next update, you better "Bee" ready for it :D

Hey there lovely people!

Hey there!

First of all thanks for all the feedback for the new game update! I hope everyone is enjoying the content! I finished adding some things I forgot, for example the mastery of recipes, when crafting items you will be able to level up the recipe mastery. Leveling up the recipe will allow you to create more items at once and also reduce the production time.

Recipe mastery

Hey! Exciting news!

I finally released the big update for Micro Macro Farm. This new update is just the start of a new direction of the game, by reworking a lot of the code and adding new stuff that will allow future implementations of new plants, buildings and more stuff.

If you have already played micro macro farm in the past I would highly appreciate that you take some time and revisit this update.

I hope I was able to fix as many problems as possible that people had while playing the old version and would love to those who decided to write a bad review to maybe reconsider updating it ^^. If new bugs appear I will try to fix these as soon as possible. Please remember to use the community discussions for these problems.

For now, have fun and let me know what you think about the new direction of Micro Macro Farm!

Big love to everyone!

Hi there!

It has been a while since I posted an update saying that I would be working on an update to fix and improve the game, making it feel more polished and aligned with my original vision when I created it a few years ago.

First of all, the work on this update is much bigger than I initially thought. However, that won’t stop me. It has, though, changed a few things about how I plan to release the update.

I have planned a small roadmap to release the first update as soon as possible, so both new and returning players can enjoy the game as it was meant to be.

The first patch will be the Regrown patch, including:

• New core system of the game

• A reworked crop table

• Better balanced item values

• Automation via small helpers

• Buildings have been reworked a bit, may use more space now.

• Added new languages, including Chinese.

• Better achievement system + adjusted achievements (less grind).

• New order board system

• Better inventory, expandable

• Lower level cap

• Different QOL features...

Example of harvesting tool with upgraded working area.

A small helper gnome harvesting some plants.

Future Plans

After the initial Regrown patch, I will release a few more content updates. Take a look here, what could come in these patches.

Each of the updates will add a new level cap to the game, adding new items, recipes and buildings. Some of the updates may include new achievements for the game, depending on how big they turn out.

Orchid Life:

• Introduce Trees

Bees & Flowers:

• Reintroducing Bees

• More Honey types

Animal:

• Add animals to farm

Mushroom Fever:

• Introducing Mushrooms

I have no plan on when to release these updates, but I will try to work as much as I can on them during this year, hoping to release at least 2-3 by the end of the year. This is just a little insight on what I have been working on and what may come to the game. Thanks again for everyone who has supported me so far 💕.

Best Regards,

Diego Schram

Hey!

First of all, I want to thank everyone who has bought and played Micro Macro Farm. Since the release of the game, this has been a huge support to me.

Nearly two years ago, I switched from Unity to Godot and wanted to create a small video game. This is where Micro Macro Farm was born, a small project created in about two months. I launched the game mainly to learn how the whole Steam ecosystem works. Little did I know that so many people would buy the game.

This was pretty amazing, but at the same time I felt a bit odd. I wasn’t proud of the game, since I knew the core wasn’t very polished: the code was a mess, and I had just barely made everything work, right on the edge of becoming a bigger problem.

Over the last two years, I’ve gained a lot of experience in Godot, learning how to create good systems and write clean, reusable code. I originally wanted to create a second version of Micro Macro Farm, like a sequel, but I realized I couldn’t do that. I was always feeling uncomfortable having a game like Micro Macro Farm out there with bugs and achievements not working properly.

That’s why I decided to rework some core functionalities of Micro Macro Farm and add new content to the game, making it more “idle” and easier for players to earn achievements (by removing some unnecessary grind).

Since it has been such a long time, this could be a fresh experience for people who played it at launch, and a good starting point for new players.

Please keep in mind that once the first update with the new core functionalities is released, older save files might not work at all. So if you are new to the game, you may want to wait until the update launches, unless you’re okay with restarting your farm.

I’m planning to release the first update in the first months of 2026, probably February. This update will add controller support, as well as new items and machines.

For now, I wish you all happy holidays and a happy New Year!
