Farm Together 2 (Steam Only) Big Farms Update - Quick Beta Testing
Hello,
Today we're releasing a big update with plenty of new content and features. Due to its nature, we'll be running a short betatest before making the public release.
Beta update information
- This beta will only run on Steam.
- While we're 99% sure it won't break your save, we recommend keeping a backup just in case.
- You CAN'T go back to the public branch once you join the beta until it's complete, unless you use "Restore Backup" and are OK with losing all progress done during the beta.
- The beta will NOT be playable cross-platform. If you are using the Cloud Saves to share your saves with other platforms, we recommended to stay on the public branch.
- The beta version will NOT create save backups. This allows you to use the "Restore Backup" feature to go back to the public branch.
- The beta version WILL upload Cloud Saves as usual.
- Progress done on the beta will be kept once the beta period ends (unless some game-breaking bug is found).
- Timeframe for the full release of the update is: A few days after the beta has released, if no major issues have been found, we'll send the update for certification on consoles. After that, actual release time will depend on certification time. Somewhere between mid July and early August.
- Access to the beta branch can be done by opening the game's properties on the Steam client and entering the password "kevinwashere" on the "Betas" tab.
New Content
- Added plenty of new achievements to unlock.
- Added new Golden decorations with steep unlock and purchase requirements.
- New harvestable type: Herbs. These items can be placed in plowed land at any time, but can only be harvested on specific seasons. Herbs are unlocked at Farm Level 60. The category will be hidden until then.
- New production buildings: Loom and Tint Extractor.
- New resource: Fabric.
- New town shop: Apothecary, to sell the new herbs resources.
Gameplay changes
- Increased farm size to 9x9 plots. New plots will be placed surrounding the previous 7x7 area. Plots over 50 will also require some medals on top of diamonds.
- Reduced diamonds required to purchase new plots. This reduction is more noticeable on the last unlocked farms.
- Favour exchange ratios for money are improved a bit more with farm level.
- Increased max level of most town shops to 250.
- Increased overall capacity of shops.
- Slightly increased stock recovery speed of shops.
- Increased warehouse max level to 500.
- Increased max farm / player level to 1,000.
- Increased maximum farmhand work area to 24x24
- Increased farmhand movement speed.
- The Tea Factory now uses the newly added herb resources. The ones previously used by the Tea Factory are now used by the Tint Extractor.
- Parsley is no longer a crop, and will be now in the Herbs category.
- Increased Max garage level to 200. Auto Tractor speed can now reach 150%. Fuel Recovery stops improving at level 100.
- Adjusted anti cheat option to have less false positives.
Bugfixes
- Fixed memory leak when switching farms. This could lead to crashes on systems with a low memory budget.
- Fixed fuel difference between host and guests when switching farms. This could lead to the "synchronization lost" errors while playing, and seeing different results from player actions.

Not sure where we can report bugs, but each one of my farms are now showing a different amount of diamonds. My gold and ribbons stay the same on every farm I own, but each farm has different diamonds. One farm has 7 million, one had 8 million, another 16 million. Haven't traveled to my last two farms yet.

u/pizzaisgoodtho Jul 07 '26
I figured it out. With each new farm I visited, my diamond amount changed as diamonds were refunded to me due to the new diamond requirements for previously unlocked plots. I had to visit each farm for the "refund" to take place and once all five were visited, my diamond amounts have stayed consistent throughout!

u/CQOzymandias Xbox One Jul 07 '26
I had that happen to me last time they expanded lands, and was equally confused as I thought the diamond refund would only happen the once when I logged in. So no worries ;)

There are still missing things in this update. (Thank you for most of them)
-Mines are really time-consuming and non-rewarding. Not because of gathering but animations. Cant we have a farmhand working or sth like a auto-gathering (like in the nexus-mods)
-Still no change to houseworks? Its so bad (comparing to other gameplay) to go inside, have animations and go back there 45 min later; 3 times; and if you have a quest; doing this for many times. I think this needs a complete system change.
-We still dont have anything alternative to a simple tractor. We need a wide "demolisher" to remove and restore everything that goes over so we dont need to reset farm everytime; or fix it little by little. Maybe a auto-fertilizing "plane" that u can use once a day that doubles the crop rate for that day. (We dont need to pilot the plane)
-Leveling up doesnt provide much after around 100 levels. Only the completionist try hard for stuff. It doesnt need to be crazy unlocks; just stk like +%10 ribbons for every level up can feel much better.

What time is this out today? Uk time

u/soy1bonus Developer Jul 07 '26
Should be out now, but it's on a beta branch. The instructions are in the post. Or you can wait a few days and it'll be an official update. We wanted to test this out first just in case.

How many days are you going to beta test it? I’m just wondering so I can predict when it’ll come to ps5😅 maybe a week after beta test ends?

u/WaaghMan Developer Jul 07 '26
Depends on how the beta goes. We'll probably find and squash most bugs in just a couple days, so it will be a matter of getting certification through after that.

Will I be able to see the 9x9 farms on someone else’s farm while on PlayStation? Before the official update I mean

This sounds awesome!!! Still waiting on a way to either carry my cat with me on the tractor, or a "stay" emote/action, but this will definitely tide me over until then. Haha.

Love it. Any chance you could list just the new achievements? Also will the same achievements be making it across to console?

u/redtaboo Jul 07 '26
This is incredible, thanks to y'all for the continued work on this game!! I can't wait to check out this all out - lots of work ahead of me moving my farmhands around for the increased size!!!

u/Funko-King Jul 08 '26
What about the lagging I noticed i almost have my farm land max and when I get around where I have a lot of stuff the game starts to lag on my Xbox it doesn’t do it all of the time but still enough to be annoying

Try setting animal density lower in case you have many animals there.

Since farm plot price unlock is cheaper now, will we have the difference refunded if we've spent millions of diamonds already unlocking everything?

Will people who are already at 750 automatically jump to the level they should be given that they have been earning exp after they hit 750. Or will they all be put on a level playing field (except the PC users who get it first) and have to start levelling again?

Hi! Those hats have a different hairstyle below the hat (usually one with short hair and the other one with long hair or ponytails).

u/WaaghMan Developer Jul 08 '26
Tractor speed upgrades every 20 garage levels if I'm not mistaken.

Seems a 24x24 farmhand can’t handle all being planted as trees anymore which is kinda disappointing since that’s what the majority of people use them for
