Our take on 乡间
Rather than centering on individual characters or a single farm, the game treats rural development as a connected economic system. Resource conditions, road access, shared markets, weekly consumption, processing upgrades, and civic policy choices replace the simpler build-and-harvest loop common to some farming simulations.
What is 乡间?
Manage a rural settlement through linked production and trade systems.
Build farms, lumber yards, quarries, fisheries, workshops, ranches, warehouses, markets, homes, and civic buildings. Basic resources can be processed into higher-value goods, which are sold through shared market trading. Residents consume one unit of food each week, while housing and workplaces can be upgraded to raise happiness. Civic buildings provide policy research that affects production. Resource output depends on conditions such as mature trees, mineral-rich terrain, and suitable coastal access. Weekly market settlements and vehicle routing make industrial layout part of the planning process.
How 乡间 plays

- Farms, lumber yards, quarries, fisheries, and ranches supply food, wood, minerals, fish, and other basic materials under specific terrain or placement conditions.
- 02Goods Processing
- Workshops turn basic materials into higher-value products, with upgrades adding options such as clothing and canned meat or fish.
- 03Market Trading
- Products are bought and sold through a shared trading interface, with transactions settled at the end of each week.

- Improving homes and workplaces increases resident happiness, while homes consume one food unit per week.
- 05Production Policies
- Civic buildings provide research choices for policies that regulate production.
