It was once your grandfather’s pride-and-joy, but your
family ranch has fallen on hard times and it’s up to you to turn things around.
Sitting in a remote forested valley, the dilapidated homestead will test all your
abilities as you attempt to turn it into the most prosperous ranch in the
region – either alone or in up to four player co-op multiplayer.
REBUILD YOUR RANCH
The years have not been kind to your family ranch and it
will take time and money to restore it to its former glory. Buy tools from the
local hardware store and purchase a range of vehicles from the garage to help
with your rebuilding projects. Renovate the main house, decide what livestock
you want to farm and construct the barns, pens and runs you’ll need to keep
them safe and secure.
LOOK AFTER YOUR LIVESTOCK
Grand building projects are one thing. Paying for them?
That’ll come down to your ranching skills. Overseeing a profitable operation is
all about the day-to-day. Once you’ve selected and taken on your livestock,
regular feeding and watering will keep them healthy. Successful breeding and
careful rearing of the young will help boost the numbers in your herds and
flocks — and the more produce you have to sell, the more income you’ll receive
for all that hard work.
HEAD OUT ON THE HUNT
There’s a large open-world environment outside your cosy
homestead and it’s teeming with wildlife. So when you feel like slowing the
pace, why not grab your trusty rifle and head out into the forest to stalk deer
and hunt bears? But remember, the wilderness lives by its own laws and you
aren’t the only skilled hunter in the neighbourhood. Sometimes your steady hand
and sharp eyes will also be needed back on the ranch to stop hungry wolves
turning your off-grid dream into a nightmare.
