About Farthest Frontier

Farthest Frontier poster

Farthest Frontier tasks you with protecting and guiding a small band of settlers as they carve a town out of untamed wilderness at the very edge of the known world. You harvest raw materials, hunt, fish, and farm to sustain a growing population, then produce crafted goods for your villagers to trade, consume, and fight with as you struggle against both the elements and outside threats. A pacifist mode is available for players who would rather skip combat entirely.

The economy runs deep for a strategy simulation. You harvest sixteen different raw materials, from wood, stone, and clay to metal ores, herbs, and honey, grow nineteen types of food across forage, fish, game, and twelve crops, and produce thirty-two crafted items in a multi-tiered system. Building spans over 190 structures as your settlement advances through housing tiers and a sprawling 140-plus point tech tree, complete with a temple you can customize using discoverable relics.

Its farming system is billed as the most detailed the genre has seen, letting you strategically pick from twelve crops with unique growing traits and configure crop rotations to preserve soil fertility. For PC players who enjoy indie city-builders with genuine depth, Farthest Frontier turns survival on the frontier into an intricate balancing act.
