They said farming wouldn’t be ā€œnormalā€. We don’t know what that means tho. Something about lava? Not sure.

They said they are working on a T7 planet, but I saw notes recently that said they are switching up what they are going to release. Maybe it was on Discord.

I’m probably very wrong but I think the link with farming and lava was just a joke … but I’m sure someone on here will correct me.

Well dang. That’s what I get for skimming a convo and not reading all of it lol

I think you are right about the farmings not going to be what’s considered the traditional type though from what I’ve read, I’m intrigued to see what form it will take.

I’m looking forward to seeing what farming will entail too. I spent 6 months playing Archeage mainly farming and selling my produce!

I’d love both!

…but…we already have planets, but we don’t have farming!

Think we will be able to herd wildstock into fences by pulling them with our grapple?

Edit: dang auto correct again! Switched ā€œhereā€ to herd

Farming is on the road map, which was last updated 3 weeks ago, poles and beams have been added since.

T7 planets are are ā€˜being worked on’.

But as for time scale, it’s pure speculation, as there is no confirmed dates.

My last call with them communicated farming coming out in the 2nd half of Q1. I did not talk about T7 planets but the last time I had asked them it was shared that they were investigating ideas on how they might release them.

So somewhere between now and 6 weeks from now…

Care to tell us why you have phone calls with them and talking about such things? You a game journalist?

That was a rough estimate… but they are actively working on it so it could be sooner. They don’t share exact things and even if they did I’d never lock them down because you can’t in the coding world with bugs, etc. lol. I just shared to help clarify things based on what I knew.

I have the capability to have a call with them every so often for 30 min or so as part of my backer tier. I try to ask questions that help get clarity on things they are doing and how they thing towards subjects to help share and set expectations for players. I also give back feedback from forums and other conversations with people about their views of the game in case they missed things from the forums, etc.

If you ever had a specific question just pop me a pm note and I can try to get it answered… if they do. lol.
