CREATE YOUR RANCH After many years of living the hectic city life, you finally decide to leave everything behind to buy your first lot of land in the country and start a new life, in the quiet, close to nature. However, your skills as a farmer will be put to the test to make your ranch a flourishing business and earn the villagers' respect and esteem. Take care of animals, grow crops, claim resources, buy new lots of land, and much more. You'll have plenty of space to create the ranch of your dreams. The Ranchers is for you if you: Are looking for a farming simulator with sandbox freedom to play your way. You want a cozy space to unwind, but with enough action to keep things exciting. Love farm simulator games. Appreciate a big open world waiting to be explored. Want to build alone or invite up to three friends to help out. Find joy in the creative freedom of base-building and home decoration. Fancy the charm of indie games built on passion. DEVELOP YOUR RANCH Grab your trusty hammer and head over to your workbench! Gather basic resources and turn them into useful items such as fences, sprinklers, greenhouses, and much more. Transform your humble home into a thriving ranch! MANAGE YOUR RANCH & TRADE WITH THE LOCALS Managing a ranch can be expensive. Optimize your Ranch's resource consumption, sign water, electricity contracts, or build your water wells, wind turbines, and solar panels and sell your surplus to the village. A well-tended ranch will produce the high quality crops you need to catch the attention of the villagers, fulfill daily orders, and sell your goods at the local markets for a decent profit to keep things running smoothly. TAKE CARE OF ANIMALS It wouldn't be a proper ranch without animals! Build barns and coops of all sizes, and invite little (and big) friends to join you. From chickens and bunnies to goats and cows, you can pick your favorites or try to collect at least one of each. A BIG OPEN WORLD Whether on foot, by bike, in a pickup truck, or in a fancy sports car, there is so much to explore. From markets and fashion boutiques to car dealerships, parks, or even a casino, it’s all waiting for you. But be mindful of the clock! Just like in real life, The Ranchers features both shifting seasons and a daily cycle, meaning you’ll need to plan your errands carefully while the stores are open. BUILD THE HOUSE OF YOUR DREAMS A simple studio-apartment or a multi-story house? It's really up to you. Build your home from scratch and decorate it as you please. Rancher, home builder AND designer? Not too shabby. PLAY WITH FRIENDS Friends - or happy little ranch hands? Invite up to 3 friends to join your ranch to experience rural life together. Here, they can either relax or explore. But let's be honest - with a growing farm to manage, we’re sure you’ll find plenty of ways for them to lend a hand and offload some of that hard work at the ranch! PLAY YOUR WAY Are you a good...
