About ACRES
Acres is a minimalist farming simulation where you tend soil, plant seeds, and harvest crops to satisfy market orders. Each order specifies a crop type and quantity, and fulfilling it before the ticket expires generates cash based on the crop’s value and speed of delivery.
The game adds simple automation through tractor upgrades, lets you purchase more land, and features vibrant, calming graphics. Managing soil health, weed control, and equipment costs are central to keeping the farm operating and maintaining reputation.
01 / THE GUIDE
Market Orders
Orders queue with a crop type and amount, and they sell automatically when harvested crops become available. The order’s cash value depends on the crop’s worth and how quickly you fulfill it.
If an order ages, its value gradually decreases until the ticket expires. Accumulating expired orders reduces the farm’s reputation level.
- Watch the aging timer to prioritize orders that are close to expiring.
- Focus on crops with higher base value when multiple orders appear.
02 / THE GUIDE
Crop Cultivation
Begin by using plow tools to turn overgrown soil into fertile ground, then plant seeds with planters. Each seed type has its own attributes and requirements.
Weed control with cultivators and soil amendment tools—adjusting water, pH, and nutrients—maintains soil vitality and prevents resource depletion, supporting continuous harvest cycles.
- Remove weeds promptly to keep crops dominant.
- Match soil amendments to each crop’s specific needs.

Tractor Upgrades & Automation
Manual hand tools can be upgraded to automated tractor and implement versions, which process tasks faster and free you to manage other farm areas.
Better tractors and implements have higher usage costs, so you must decide when the speed gain justifies the expense.
- Upgrade when order volume outpaces manual processing speed.
- Weigh higher usage costs against time saved before purchasing.
