The Farmbotic Playtest Starts TODAY! Boot Up Your Bots!

Howdy Partners!

The wait is finally over. The official Farmbotic Early Playtest starts TODAY (August 26) and is live until September 7.

We are absolutely thrilled to welcome you to your new plots of land. It’s time to tackle the fields, boot up those trusty (or not so much...?) robotic helpers, and turn your cozy little operation into an automated, high-tech farming paradise.

Note: You are free to record and share content from the game. In fact - please do so!

During this playtest, you will be able to:

  • Explore the surroundings and dive into the mines to uncover precious resources.

  • Craft tools and equipment to help your farm thrive.

  • Build and design your ideal farm layout.

  • Automate your crops by organizing your farming bots.


Your feedback means the world to us!

We want to know exactly what you love, what feels a bit clunky, and what you’d like to see improved before our full release.

Please share your thoughts, bug reports, and bright ideas with us by filling out our Feedback Survey in-game or right here or via the Steam Community Hub, our official Discord server.

Every single comment helps us refine the bots, balance the systems, and make this the best futuristic farming experience possible!


How to Join the Fun?

If you haven't requested access yet, it's not too late! Just head over to our Steam store page, scroll down to the Playtest section, and hit that green "Request Access" button.

If you've already been selected, you should receive an email notification from Steam, and the Playtest version of the game will be ready to download in your library.

And again - remember that this is an early playtest! Not all parts of the game are ready and for now we will focus on single player experience.

While you're checking out the store page, we would be incredibly grateful if you added Farmbotic to your Wishlist! It helps us out immensely and ensures you won't miss any future news, updates, or devlogs leading up to our launch.


Come Say Howdy on Social Media!

If you want to chat with us or see more day-to-day updates, be sure to join our Discord and follow us on X and Facebook.

You can also find updates there regarding our other titles, including House Flipper Remastered Collection, Honeycomb: The World Beyond and Fish & Hike.

Cheers!

~ Farmbotic Team
