Farming Engine

Farming Engine is a Unity template asset for creating survival games, not a full game. It includes systems and assets for building a farm, tending plants and animals, crafting, gathering resources and exploring a map.

Gameplay systems

The template includes player controls for mouse, mobile touch and keyboard, along with an inventory, crafting, character-attached equipment, resource gathering and character attributes such as health and energy. Farming covers sowing seeds, plant and fruit growth, hoeing and watering; livestock eat, grow and produce, while wild animals can wander, escape or chase. You can also hunt, fish, eat and cook, trade items at an NPC store, and use combat with attacks and hit points.

Other systems include item durability, food spoilage, storage chests, pets that can follow, attack and dig, horse riding, consumable or equipment bonuses that boost stats, customizable actions for adding your own code, a game clock with a day/night cycle, and saving and loading.

Included assets

The asset collection includes animated male and female characters and animated animals such as cows, sheep, chickens, pigs, deer, bears, squirrels and birds. It also includes basic materials, gathering tools, foods, cooked dishes, constructions, environmental objects, farming plants, town models and 2D icons for interactable models.

Examples include wood, grass, rock and hay materials; hoes, scythes, axes, pickaxes and fishing rods; berries, apples, nuts, meat and fish; tacos, popcorn and bread; fences, barbecues and chests; trees, bushes, rocks and floor patterns; strawberries, pumpkins, peppers, tomatoes and wheat; and town lamps, benches, houses and shop stands.
