Rancher: A new life Steam Charts, Sales, Players & Wishlists

Tired of life in the big city? Escape to an American ranch. In this ranch life simulator, you’ll have to find your place in a rural and sometimes unforgiving world.

From Farm to Table

You can keep eating fast food like before, or start growing healthy vegetables to prepare your own meals. Cook freshly caught fish and enjoy a glass of fresh milk. You’ll have access to a wide variety of recipes with different levels of complexity. Prepare your meals in the kitchen, on the grill, or over a campfire.

Plant your favorite vegetables in garden beds or in a greenhouse. Create beautiful garden arrangements using flowers, vegetables, and fruit. Grow, water, and harvest your crops. Pick apples in the orchard and plant your favorite flowers along the path. Mow the grass yourself or get help from living lawnmowers, such as cows.

Renovation, Furnishing, and Workshop

The ranch you purchase will need plenty of repairs. Patch the holes in the roof, fill the cracks in the walls, and paint the rooms in colors of your choice. Once you can afford it, replace the furniture, redesign the interior, and buy decorations for the fireplace or even potted plants.

Use the money you earn to expand your workshop. Buy additional tools and equipment. Build increasingly complex structures from boards you cut yourself. Where will you begin? With a bookcase, a fence around the pasture, or perhaps a birdhouse?

Restore a forgotten car and use it to travel into town. Give it a new paint job, repair the engine, replace the tires, and enjoy the satisfaction of seeing the finished result.

Leisure Activities

Ride an ATV along nearby forest trails, walk through the woods gathering mushrooms, or take photographs of the animals you encounter. Explore your vast ranch on horseback. Visit the shooting range, go fishing, light a campfire, or have a barbecue in the nearby gazebo.

Eat well, get enough sleep, avoid overworking yourself, and enjoy the many available activities! Learn to play the harmonica, beat your personal records, and take on new challenges.

Raising Animals

Raise and sell animals, including cows and chickens. Feed them with animal feed or let them graze in the pastures, and make sure they always have access to water. Breed cows, collect eggs, and raise livestock for sale. Put your heart into caring for them. Petting is highly encouraged!

Should you decide to get a dog, you won’t regret it. Take care of your loyal companion and let it help with your work by herding animals into the pastures. You can also play fetch together.
