Loved the settlers. Not played these style games for a while.

I'm wondering if I'm too old for such a game now as it does seem very intense with all the game mechanics.

gpuerrilla · 20 Aug 2022 at 18:53

The last intense one I played was when WC3 was quite new. I think the new level of playing these games with focus on super reaction times and micro tactics made it less of an enjoyable experience (online/multiplayer). It then becomes who expends the most amount of time playing the game and treating it like a job, its ok if your paid to play it lol.

fortunately this is more of a sandbox survival town builder where your more worried about food, disease and the elements with occasional bandit raids. theres no enemy factions or Starcraft style actions per minute gameplay.

And the raiders can be confused with well placed items(which I kind of hope they fix)

Can't wait till the modders get hold of this.

Tombstone · 20 Aug 2022 at 21:33

I've put 30 hours into this already, its really good, like a cross between Banished and Anno

I've just got this, but I'm waiting a few days for the drop of the 0.75 patch before trying it out.
It seems that patch should offer some needed fixes, this post detailing those and some plans for other changes in the future....

The State of Early Access - Update #01

The reception to Farthest Frontier so far has been fantastic and we’re glad to see so many of you enjoying the game, providing feedback and reporting issues. The game will become the best version of itself thanks in part to your support and contributions. It’s the very reason we wanted to do...

it could well be a little too complicated for me to figure out, as it is. The noted patch seems to offer some hope in helping with that, after all it is in a very early stage of EA.

Love the look of this, not really interested until it comes out of early access, but I've got it on my wishlist for then.

Its got quite a lot of content already, I'm hoping that Crate support it as well as they supported Grim Dawn, if they do then there should be a lot of post 1.0 content added too.

Jay85 · 21 Aug 2022 at 13:48

Oh wow been looking for something like this that i can casually play. This looks like it hits the spot!

Reaching 9.2 currently and 9.3 is in testing soonish.
so going onwards that 1.0

Only got this recently - been really enjoying it. Can be quite difficult at times though

TonTom · 27 Jul 2024 at 07:54

Thanks for the heads up on this OP. I love a early Settlers type game.

Neil79 · 27 Jul 2024 at 09:57

Nice!

Vimes · 24 Oct 2025 at 20:07

Just a heads up that this has now come out of EA and version 1.0 has been released.

Probably get back into this at some point, kinda forgot about it
