Farthest Frontier

About the game

Farthest Frontier, from Crate Entertainment, is a town builder about leading a small group of settlers into untamed wilderness at the edge of the known world. You harvest 14 raw materials, from wood, stone and clay to metal ores, wild herbs and honey, and feed the town through hunting, fishing, foraging and farming. The farming goes deep: you pick from 10 crops, plan rotations to keep the soil fertile, avoid frost and heat damage, and clear weeds and rocks. With 50 building types and 32 crafted goods, the settlement can grow into a busy city as housing and the town centre move up through several tiers. Villagers live and work in real time, carrying goods across town, so roads, wagons and storage decide how well things flow. You fence fields against deer, keep bears out of food stores, and fight dysentery, scurvy and plague with clean water, a healthy diet and a healer's house. Raiders and armies arrive as the town prospers, but pacifist mode and adjustable difficulty let you switch off invaders or disease. Maps are randomly generated.
