Key Features in Farthest Frontier
- Build, Enhance & Advance: Construct over 190 different buildings as you grow your town from a fledgling settlement to a bustling city. Your town center and housing will advance through multiple building tiers as the prosperity and desirability of your town increase and advancements are made in a vast 140+ point Tech Tree. Upgrade production buildings to increase efficiency and enable the manufacturing of more advanced items. Construct a temple and customize your people’s faith with discoverable relics.
- The Most Detailed Farming System… Ever: Strategically select from 12 crops with unique growing characteristics and configure crop rotations to maintain soil fertility, avoid heat and frost damage, and prevent the accumulation of diseases. Cultivate your fields over time by removing weeds and rocks, raising fertility, and adjusting soil mixture to achieve maximum crop production to keep your growing population fed.
- Advanced Town Simulation: Villagers actively live out their lives and perform their jobs in real-time. Develop roads, construct transport wagons, and set production and storage limits to reduce spoilage and facilitate the efficient movement of goods throughout your settlement.
- Randomly Generated Maps: No playthrough is ever quite the same with completely randomized terrain generation and resource distribution. Beautiful, unique biomes and map themes increase replayability, with more extreme maps leading to distinct challenges. Controls allow players to specify the amount of water or mountains they desire, even down to which resources can generate on the map.
- Idyllic to Brutal: Fully customizable difficulty options (including a Pacifist mode) allow you to turn off features like invaders, disease, and combat for a more tranquil experience… or to max out the difficulty to truly test your town-builder prowess.
- All Them Old-Timey Diseases: Clean drinking water, proper waste disposal, healthy diets for your villagers, and even proper clothing will help combat the variety of diseases and ailments that plagued the medieval era.
- Fend Off Invaders: Progress from wood palisades to stone walls, build towers, barracks, and stables, and recruit and equip soldiers in the defense of your town as your rising prosperity attracts the attention of raiders and foreign armies seeking plunder.
- Full Mod Support: Take advantage of free Unity development tools and Steam Workshop integration to transform the game to suit your playstyle.

How Much Does Farthest Frontier Cost?
In 1.0, Farthest Frontier costs $34.99. The price did increase from its Early Access days, but that’s because Crate has invested significant time in expanding the game through massive content updates, bug fixes, and community suggestions over the last three years.
If you bought the game in Early Access, you don’t have to pay a single dime more. But if you’re keen on grabbing the city-building game now at full launch, that’s the price and it’s more than worth it!
