Farm Together 2 left Early Access on 30 May 2025, a little over a year after Milkstone Studios opened it on 7 May 2024. It keeps the first game's real time clock, so crops keep growing while the game is closed and a full in-game season passes in roughly 17 minutes. There is no combat and no fail state; the entire game is one levelling curve where Farm Level gates every seed, animal and building you can buy.
Your choice of equipment defines your damage output and playstyle. This guide ranks every major option, explains what makes each one strong, and tells you which builds they pair best with.
Equipment Rankings
| Equipment | Tier | Best For | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| The tractor | S | Any farm larger than a few plots, and the reason to lay everything out in 3x3 blocks | Unlocked by buying the Garage at Farm Level 2. |
| Sprinklers | A | Large crop and flower fields where manual watering would eat the whole session | Automatic watering that removes the most repetitive job in the game. |
| Animal feeders | A | Keeping pens productive across offline stretches | Feeders hold a stock of fodder and dispense it over time, which extends how long animals stay fed without your attention. |
| Town stalls and shops | B | Turning a full Warehouse into expansion money | The conversion layer between harvested goods and diamonds. |
| The bank exchange | B | Topping up the last few diamonds or medals for a purchase you are close to affording | A fallback converter at deliberately unfavourable rates, roughly 2,000 gold for a diamond, 250,000 gold for a medal, or 125 diamonds for a medal. |

Equipment Progression Path
The order you should acquire equipment as you progress:
- Starting gear → Enough to clear Your farm plots
- Sprinklers → Your first real upgrade, available early
- Animal feeders → Mid-game upgrade with good scaling
- The tractor → Best-in-slot, aim for this by late game
- Upgrade to max → The power spike from max upgrades is enormous
Equipment Tips
- Always upgrade your primary equipment before diversifying. One strong option beats three mediocre ones.
- Match your equipment to your build's stat priorities for maximum scaling.
- Buy the Garage the moment you hit Farm Level 2. The tractor changes how every later decision plays out, and a farm laid out before you own one usually needs replanting to line up with the 3x3 work area.
