Daily challenge

The same fresh farm for everyone, 3,000 ticks, one score.

How it works

Every day (in UTC) there’s a new daily farm. Everyone gets the same one: the same soil, the same weather and the same orders. You start from nothing, with one plot and one bot, and get 3,000 ticks. Your score is your net worth at the end.

3,000 ticks is five minutes at normal speed, and you can run the daily faster to test ideas. Only the submitted run counts.

Submitting

When the run ends, submit it from the game. The server replays your moves on the daily farm, works out your score, and keeps your best one. You can submit up to 20 times a day, for today’s or yesterday’s challenge.

From 8 December dailies also have a market: prices that move with what players sold the day before.

What wins

There’s no time to build an empire in 3,000 ticks, so the daily rewards different programs than your live farm. Short walks, fast crops and filling orders matter more than expansion. The daily example is a starting point.
