Farthest Frontier's first DLC brings new friends and enemies to your settlement this May!
View game pageEnrich the lives of your hard-working settlers with the addition of cats and dogs. More than just companions, dogs will protect your crops from deer and the new ravenous groundhogs, and your chicken coops from shrewd fox invaders. They can accompany your hunters to keep them safe from wildlife and help rat catchers sniff out rat infestations. Cats may be their own masters, but they will keep rat populations under control, easing the burden on rat catchers. Villagers gladly take a pause from their busy lives in the frontier to play with their new pets, offering relief from life's hardships.
Key Features
Breed Animal Companions - purchase dogs and cats from the trading post to breed them in your kennels, with 18 different possible variations. Every new settlement starts with a dog or cat companion that traveled across the wilderness with the aspiring settlers.
New Buildings - construct Cat and Dog Kennels to feed and care for your pets, and a Doghouse to have your animal companions best positioned near your crops and livestock.
New Threats - Groundhogs can infest crop fields and devastate yields, while Foxes will hunt down helpless chickens.
New Decorations - Embellish your settlement with the new unique Hedge Garden, Topiary Garden, and Trellis, with multiple variations of each.

Since the v1.0 release, the team has been diligently addressing your reported issues. The latest in our series of hotfixes has just gone live. For details on all 5 hotfixes, the full changelog is available here.
For those in the US, we wish you all a pleasant Thanksgiving and a gentle food coma!
v1.0.5 Hotfix 5
[Tech]
Fixed an issue where graphs would stop displaying in the Annual Report.
Fixed an issue where disabling weather effects would also disable lightning strikes, which consequently reduced chance of fires.
Fixed an issue where a combination of the Intensive Animal Farming policy and Artificial Selection tech could cause the two to not stack.
Fixed an issue where reloading could cause Horsemen and Lancers to have reduced health.
Fixed an issue where using the Select All Military function would ADD the military units to an active selection of villagers, instead of overriding it.
Fixed an issue where building upgrades that require Bricks would not display the correct costs after unlocking the Masonry tech.
Fixed an issue when taunting raiders using the Military Monument in Pacifist Mode that could cause raids to become stuck and the cooldown to not be respected.
Fixed some edge cases when placing double-wide gates that could result gaps in the wall.
[Game]
Child happiness no longer factors in shoes and beer availability. The Pub is checking IDs.
Added new widgets for Barns and Chicken Coops to indicate when slaughtering of animals is paused by production limits on their products (ex. Tallow).
Improved logistics for wagons servicing mines and pits, which will allow them to more effectively grab large quantities of heavy materials and reduce the frequency with which villagers will pick them up themselves (ex. villagers grabbing ore before a wagon can).
Increased Immigration rates at lower populations.
Raider attacks on Excavation Sites now have a different icon to differentiate them from regular raids.

Our priority is always in ensuring everybody has a smooth experiencing with our games. As such, the team was diligently addressing critical bugs reported by you since release. We have now released two hotfixes and will be keeping an eye out for more issues. We will likely have at least one more hotfix patch before we focus our attention on larger updates and eventual DLC content.
Thank you to everyone that reported bugs and provided feedback!
v1.0.2 Hotfix 2
[Tech]
Fixed an issue where building windows were capped at a smaller height than intended.
Fixed an issue where villagers with tools would be miscounted, resulting in incorrect low tools warnings.
Fixed an issue where settings windows in the main menu would improperly resize, which also caused them to not fit on ultrawide resolutions.
Fixed an issue where opening the crop field window could cause a brief performance hitch.
Fixed an issue where raider banners could fail to display on the minimap if the banner holder would spawn inside of battering rams.
Fixed an issue where a critical laborers warning would appear excessively.
[Game]
Increased Health of Palisade and Stone Walls and the Health and Armor of Palisade and Stone Gates.
v1.0.1 Hotfix 1
[Tech]
Fixed an issue that could cause the game to crash on load. If you are still experiencing crashes during loading, please reach out to [email protected] with details of your issue.
Fixed an issue where the game could crash when engaging in combat with raiders. Like above, if you are still experiencing this issue, please reach out to us so we can help debug it further with you.
Fixed an issue where the Early Access data migration message would display for new players starting up the game for the first time. This was a result of Steam Cloud erroneously generating the old directory at startup, which has now been pwned.
Fixed an issue with the Custom Game options window not fitting on screen at ultrawide resolutions.
Fixed an issue with tooltips not scaling in the Tech Tree when changing resolutions and/or UI Scale in the game options.
Fixed an issue with minimap icons sometimes not displaying correctly when toggling their visibility.
Fixed an issue where villagers would sometimes seek water on opposite sides of lakes.
Fixed an issue where Compost Yards could become stuck with the Vermicast tech active, particulaly if there is 1 point invested in it out of 2.
[Game]
Reduced % chance of fire spread and made fires easier to put out without the Civic Inspections tech.
Reverted change that increased Hay season duration, which prevented putting Field Maintenance in the same rotation.
Increased chance of Traveling Merchants selling Tomes of Knowledge and reduced their base price.

After three years in early access, Farthest Frontier is the city builder that's tearing me away from Manor Lords
Farthest Frontier 1.0 is finally upon us, and I'm ready to plunge myself into its stunning world. Developer Crate Entertainment has already proved itself as an indie underdog with some serious bite; its dark-fantasy ARPG Grim Dawn remains a must-play for fans of that genre. Now,

Farthest Frontier review
Priorities. That's what managing a medieval city is all about. Farms are important for long-term survival, but fishing and gathering makes more sense if people need food quickly. Chopping logs into planks means construction on new buildings can commence, but if people are freezin

86% rated medieval city builder launches soon after three years in early access

Farthest Frontier Leaving Early Access on October 23rd 2025!

Following a tremendously successful Early Access period thanks in no small part to your support these past 3 years, Farthest Frontier will officially launch into 1.0. on October 23rd, 2025, having grown far beyond its solid foundation into a definitive new contender in the medieval city builder genre.
The v1.0 release is going to dramatically shake up the game with:
Revamped progression with a new 142-point Tech Tree
Monuments with victory conditions
Dozens of new buildings
Bridges
New Policy System
Updated animations
And much more!

The team is incredibly proud of how the game has developed with the community's feedback and we can't wait to officially get the v1.0 update out to everyone next month. The game is launching as a perfect foundation for what is still to come post release, which the team is excited to dive into.

To reflect the significant growth Farthest Frontier experienced over the past 3 years, we have made the decision to increase the price by $5 to $34.99. This will have NO impact on existing owners of the game, who have been with us on this journey. For those currently on the fence or waiting for v1.0, we want to give you a heads up that the Early Access price ($29.99) will be discounted during the upcoming Steam Autumn sale, which begins on September 29th, which will be the last great opportunity to get the game at a pre-launch discount.
We'll see you in v1.0!
