Prices
Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
Every market we collect.
Charts
Each storefront's own chart, in its own country — the closest public signal to sales where none is published. A country missing from a list is one we don't collect there, not one where the game doesn't chart.
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.

About
Program a drone using a simple python-like language to fully automate various farming tasks that would otherwise be very grindy. Feel the satisfaction of simply pressing "execute" and watching your drone do all the hard work.
Unlike most programming games the game isn't divided into distinct levels that you have to complete but features a continuous progression.
Farming earns you resources which can be spent to unlock new technology.
Programming is done in a simple language similar to Python. The beginning of the game is designed to teach you all the basic programming concepts you will need by introducing them one at a time.
While it introduces everything that is relevant, it won't hold your hand when it comes to solving the various tasks in the game. You will have to figure those out for yourself, and that can be very challenging if you have never programmed before.
If you are an experienced programmer, you should be able to get through the early game very quickly and move on to the more complex tasks of the later game, which should still provide interesting challenges.
Although the programming language isn't exactly Python, it's similar enough that Python IntelliSense works well with it. All code is stored in .py files and can optionally be edited using external code editors like VS Code. When the "File Watcher" setting is enabled, the game automatically detects external changes.

This game motivated me to seek out CS50 because of another commentor and eventually start my IST degree. So I'm happy to finally give this a shot. So much fun to play. I know if your program is working, it feels like one of those waiting games... However, as you unlock new items, you find that they need their own ways to collect them properly. Like I have the maze and the cacti unlocked, but I didn't quite understand what Sunflower was asking of me. I'm not 100% sure if I'm doing it right, but it's so cool watching it find the MAX sunflower, and then pluck it. This is just my first day playing it, but I can see myself spending more time with it, practicing python with immediate positive feedback.
個人的神ゲー。プログラミングは殆ど未経験だったが、段階的に要素がアンロックされて行くので問題なくプログラミングの基礎を習得することができた。今のところ非の打ち所が見つからない。

For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 24 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,404 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Why farm manually when you can spend ten times longer writing code that does it for you? Extremely satisfying when it works. Extremely educational when it doesn’t.
me encanta porque si no se llega a entender muy bien Python al inicio el mismo juego te enseña de a poco, recomendado
Лучшая игра, в которую я залипал за последнее время и, как ни странно, именно из-за моей профессии. Очень жаль, что я не открыл её для себя лет 15 назад. The Farmer Was Replaced отлично развивает программистское мышление и, на мой взгляд, является одним из лучших способов познакомиться с программированием в игровой форме. Здесь используется упрощённый Python, но его вполне хватает, чтобы начать разбираться в логике, циклах, функциях, структурах данных и алгоритмах. Причём в какой-то момент я вообще забыл про ферму и начал писать собственные утилиты для работы с множествами. Игра отлично подойдёт новичкам, которые хотят попробовать программирование, но и опытным разработчикам здесь найдётся чем заняться. Особенно если поставить себе цель закрыть все достижения. Короче говоря однозначно рекомендую. Отличная игра, чтобы прокачать мозги и незаметно провести за ней гораздо больше времени, чем планировал.
This game is nice work. Games that make the player smarter are the best games.
简洁有趣的算法可视化,Python + 算法爱好者狂喜
下了班以后,还可以再加会班!体验不错!
Not inherently a bad game, but not one I super enjoyed. Its very much a Python programming/efficiency/organization race, and less an incremental/idler or a program-puzzle/zachtronic.
Sitting watching a movie with my girlfriend, I suddenly sat up, saying "I know how to make the pumpkin code work!" I was then held hostage until I returned home, only to find out that I, in fact, did not know how to make the pumpkin code work. 10/10.
