Acres

Acres is a farming game about growing crops to fulfill market orders. You decide what to plant and how much to grow to meet demand, while keeping the farm operating as orders become more demanding.

Market orders

Orders queue with requested crops and quantities, and each ticket expires after a set time. Harvested crops automatically fulfill matching orders. The cash you earn depends on the crops’ value and how quickly you complete an order; its value gradually falls as the ticket ages. Too many expired orders lower the farm’s reputation.

Cultivate the land

Prepare overgrown soil with plows, sow seeds with planters, and use cultivators to control weeds. Different seed types have their own attributes and requirements. Soil amendment tools let you manage water levels, pH balance and nutrients to maintain soil health and meet each crop’s needs. When crops mature, harvest them with harvesters.

Expand and automate

Upgrade manual hand tools to automated tractors and implements to work faster and free up time for other farm tasks. Better equipment costs more to use, so you decide when an upgrade is worthwhile. You can also buy more land, unlock crops and implements, and plan where to place your fields to support soil health and crop growth.

Farming systems

Acres features rows of independent crops, time-sensitive tasks and limited trading and economy mechanics. Its strategy centers on planning and optimizing your farm, with simple automation to streamline work. It does not include animal husbandry, combat, multiplayer, loot boxes or microtransactions, nor does it focus on 4X strategy, deep factory building or realistic simulation.
