Hello everyone!\nThis video is a gameplay walkthrough of a farming simulation game named "The Farmer Was Replaced", where the player programs and optimizes a drone to automate farming tasks. The game involves coding in a language similar to Python, enhancing problem-solving and coding skills. The player starts with basic commands like harvesting and gradually unlocks more complex functions like loops, conditionals, and variables to improve farm efficiency. The game’s incremental nature requires balancing resource collection with technology upgrades to expand the farm and increase yields. Hope you enjoy:)

Feel the satisfaction of simply pressing "execute" and watching your drone do all the hard work.

Farming earns you resources which can be spent to unlock new technology.
Here's what the same program looks like after a few speed upgrades:

Unlike most programming games the game isn't divided into distinct levels that you have to complete but features a continuous progression.

Programming is done in a simple language similar to python. The beginning of the game is designed to teach you all the basic programming concepts that you need and is very beginner friendly by unlocking and explaining them one by one.
If you already have programming experience, you should be able to play through the early game very quickly and get to the more complex late game tasks that should still be a fun challenge even for experienced programmers.\n——————————————————–
