I've been thinking of getting that game, though I am not sure on the development pace and state it is currently in.

Generally I love city builders of any kind and the game looks super interesting to me (and it is currently on sale :D ). What are your thoughts?

I have not looked at it. What makes Farthest Frontier great?

I really like it's progression of resource tiers, and it's exploration mechanic that lets you delve into ruins to find artifacts that give you bonuses to town morale.

It also has a nice pseudo-complex farming system, where you can manage the soil composition to favor different crops (or just choose to plant the crops that that area's default soil lends itself to).

It also has randomized maps, which I like to reload until I find one with an interesting layout.

There is combat, but you can granularly control it, or disable it altogether (there are raiders, and wildlife like bears and wolves).

It feels very laid back, which is my jam.

Sounds great. I'll wishlist it for now and research it a bit more. I have way too much games already, but I just love this kinda game 😅
