How it plays

Farming is the core loop of this idle-farming simulator, as stated directly in the title and all descriptions. The game's idle-clicker nature inherently centers on building self-running systems that progress without active player input. Managing scarce farm resources (crops, currency) under the pressure of idle loops is fundamental to progression.
