Farmer Against Potatoes Idle
Update v0.25-3:
Hotfix V0.25-2:
- Reincarnation Exp has been modified to match how it was before 0.25. There had been a bug that was incorrectly applying reincarnation node modifiers to reincarnation xp as a whole. However, fixing this was a bigger nerf than intended. This has been reversed. Instead, the challenge 8 reward and the reincarnation shop layer 6 perk have been changed to reflect what they were doing before, which is applying an increase to reincarnation xp overall.
- German language players can now access Ascension.
- Whack Maxed icon is now accurate.
- The map should now open properly.
- Info about Ascension now unlocks at 4-1-50.
- Chinese/Russian/Japanese/Korean fonts are now showing properly.

- Map difficulty selection is maintained while navigating the map menu. Should make a bit smoother when rapidly advancing levels.
- The exp bar in the reincarnation menu will display the amount of exp anticipated for your future level, so you know if pushing just a bit longer will gain you another level.
- When the equipment menu, clicking on the Farmer will cause him to revive, just like the restart button on the home screen. Farm your gear more efficiently!
Please note that this is a big patch and testing is both time consuming and challenging with low numbers of people. There will ***very likely be changes,*** both boosts and nerfs, to improve balance as we see the results of this major update. Remember, as the player base in an early access game, we all share the load of helping to test and debug along with the developers.
Regarding the parts of the update that are still locked, we’ll be working with some of the players to test the challenges and extra ascension levels as they progress, and those will be unlocked for everyone as soon as possible.
Ascension Update Release Date
The update is confirmed to go live on Thursday September 22nd, it will include a lot of fixes & improvement (mostly based on suggestions made here or on the steam forum).
It contains the 2nd prestige layers (Ascension, which requires Reincarnation Level 3000 and Area 4-1-50), which has been in the works since before the game even came out and should expand the game length by x2~ as it includes over 100 upgrades all around the game that will unlock as you Ascend more & more (yes, I know, it's original!).
There will also be new promo codes both for everyone and some exclusive codes for after ascension (not time limited but permanent).
Also, we are considering all suggestions/feedback (we have a big list that anyone can see on the discord) and we try to do as many changes as we feel are useful for everyone. Some of them take more time but we consider them.
In the near future we want to optimize the game as we heard about many having issue when there is too many potatoes on screen, we hear you and will be looking at this part (for now i can only suggest to turn the battle off and lower fps to 15 from the in game settings)
Thank you very much for all the support! ːsteamhappyː
Hotfix
