Is a Major Rework for Farming Coming to Manor Lords? Players Weigh In!
As a Manor Lords player, I’m finding myself increasingly frustrated with the farming mechanics in the game. A post by Alstroph seems to have sparked a discussion about this very issue. It appears that the tedium of reallocating my workforce during the changing seasons is causing most of the distress. In spring, I spend hours assigning families to tend the fields, only to have to do an about-face in winter. Alstroph expressed his exasperation over having more oxen than available crop plots, saying “Why are only 3 of my 4 oxen working though?” This sentiment echoes throughout the community, with many players feeling that the system requires a constant balancing act, which can quickly become exhausting and lead to burnout. One user put it succinctly when they said, “the farm game loop is one of the most frustrating parts of this game.” Honestly, the current state of the game leaves me feeling overwhelmed rather than engaged, making me question if farming is even worth the hassle.
