Farthest Frontier looks like Banished with even more farming and disease

From the makers of Grim Dawn

Farthest Frontier is promising the “most detailed farming system ever,” in which you’ll need to not only choose crops but plan crop rotations to “maintain soil fertility, avoid heat and frost damage, and prevent the accumulation of diseases.” The diseases it’s possible for your townspeople to get include dysentery and cholera. You’ll also need to make sure your peeps are properly housed, clothed and shoed to avoid tetanus, rabies and frostbite.

Farthest Frontier is being made by Crate Entertainment, makers of Grim Dawn, which wequite likedand which was supported by umpteen post-release expansions. Given the punishing take on agriculture management, they should have named this new game Grim Lawn. I will forgive them.
