🌱🔨 A fresh take on the classic farming sim! 🌽⛏️
You have been commissioned to restore the ancient dwarven halls, which long ago fell to ruin. The Dwarf King will return in just a few short weeks to assess your progress. Be strategic and diligent, lest you fail to meet his lofty standards...
🗺️ EXPEDITIONS
Day in and day out, manage your time wisely to improve your city across three important categories: Artistry, Community, and Economy.
Craft powerful items & restore broken infrastructure to improve Artistry;
Make friends, complete requests, cook recipes, & visit the tavern to improve Community;
Produce & ship valuable items to improve Economy.
Will the Dwarf King be proud of what you accomplish, or will he scorn your idleness when he returns..?
🎮 MODERN FEATURES, RETRO SENSIBILITIES
Never refill a watering can, micro-manage a stamina bar, or pass out at midnight again! We've also added modern accessibility options: rate of time options, quick-fishing, save from anywhere, an auto-run toggle, control rebinding, and an adjustable game difficulty setting.
💎 CROPS & CRYSTALS
There's a city of hard-working dwarves to feed, so farming is important work! Get to know both types of fields.
Underground fields are great for growing a wide variety of mushrooms, a favorite food of many dwarves; clearing will provide you with useful Minerals.
Outdoor fields, found up above the city in the mountainsides, are perfect for growing traditional crops: vegetables, grains, fruits, and more. Clearing will provide you with plentiful Lumber.
You will be richly rewarded at harvest if you tend to your crops well. Sell your products or use them to make one of 70+ delicious dwarven recipes at the cooking-hearth.
The dwarves have also mastered the arcane art of Crystal-growing! Refine your minerals into crystal solutions, then add them to a pool of enchanted water. Watch as a gorgeous crystal grows before your eyes in just a few short days!
Once fully grown, a crystal is a very valuable item that can be sold for a small fortune; or, combine its magical properties with other ingredients to craft enchanted tools & items at the anvil.
🏛️ WORKS OF AWE & WONDER
Raise your hammer and strike the anvil!
Collect resources throughout the world, such as minerals, ores, and lumber. Then combine them at the anvil to improve your tools or create new works of quality!
Complete Works Projects on behalf of the city: restore broken statues & pillars, repair caved-in tunnels, and rebuild broken stairways. Many Works Projects provide you with a benefit upon completion, and the Dwarf King will surely smile upon your handiwork.
