The versions stamped 0.99X follow each other and are not alike. If the final version is still not on the program, it does not prevent the developers from moving forward at their own pace on this "Farming RPG" from across the Rhine.
And the last update to date, 0.997, dated April 12, greatly changes the aesthetics of the game but not only. It's even crazy enough to see the long list of changelog, proof that the development team is not idle, far from it. On the performance side, we are also continuing to optimize. The game is smooth, and fun to play and watch, even if you are far from a Farming Simulator 19.
For those who are starting to take an interest in this somewhat special title, here is the content of the latest changelog (translation from English via google translate):
Characters
New models, textures and animations of NPCs. The new NPCs tend to look like the old ones in appearance, but they are of higher quality and have a better skeleton.
New NPCs can talk (mouth movement) and blink. They yawn, chew and so on.
All female NPCs have hair or hats.
Decreased the probability of glasses for NPCs (only for a new game, not for a saved game).
Additional sets of different clothing for all NPCs.
NPCs can swap parts of clothing.
Different NPC faces in the same model
Clothes and faces persist after saving
Height of various NPCs adjusted.
Skinmeshes from various NPCs fixed.
Repair & Design
Buildings can now be painted in different colors.
When purchasing plaster from the building supply store, the player has a choice of 24 colors. The plaster will be in a chosen color and when finishing the exterior walls using this plaster they will also have the color.
The player can buy plasters of different colors one by one - the materials in the palette will have the chosen color for him to see.
The last color chosen is stored in the menu.
If you are rebuilding with plaster with one color, the Player tab menu displays the current color of the plaster on a main rebuild icon.
Buildings in the distance (compressed) correctly display the colors of painted walls.
Fixed color flickering when transitioning into a compressed building.
Possibility of repainting painted surfaces with a new color (but not the same).
Better animations when adding concrete plaster.
Machinery
New tractor added.
The new tractor defaults to a similar color to the cover (but not when already loaded from a saved game when it was green).
The new tractor has a more powerful engine and a slightly larger tank.
Improvements to the fitness and balance of the new tractors.
Pets
Rooster added to be bought in the agro store.
Chicken breeding introduced. If there are unplucked eggs among the previous ones and the rooster is present, there is a chance that the new hen will hatch.
If the chicken coop is full and the eggs hatch, the chickens are automatically sold with the correct information.
Introduced ducks and geese, to be purchased separately from a food store.
Ducks and geese do not depend on bird food, they feed by the nearby lake.
Ducks and geese give eggs with much less chance than chickens. However, these eggs are better and more expensive if they are sold.
Ducks and geese stay in the player's barn overnight and the player has to look for their eggs there.
Introduced pigeons.
New animals correctly indicated in the farm information (reformatted a bit to adapt them).
Supplements & bug fixes
Correct information restored regarding the repair of player farm buildings.
Fixed a bug where animals and plants could be purchased even if they did not have the necessary money.

Addition of canned peppers to be prepared by the player.
The woman can cook delicious stuffed peppers if the peppers are stored in the pantry.
The new greenhouse plants were also correctly indicated in the statistical farm information.
