The Farmer Was Replaced Brings Its Python Drones to iOS and Android on November 2
A programming game that asks players to find their own solutions is being handed a touchscreen audience, and the DLC ships alongside it rather than after it, so mobile buyers get the same day-one content as PC.

The mobile (iOS/Android) version of The Farmer Was Replaced, Timon Herzog's farming game where players write Python-like code to automate drones, releases November 2, per a Steam News announcement on October 21. The same day brings the DLC The Miner Was Replaced()_, which adds mining upgrades for drones and eight new underground resources. The Steam version has more than 9,400 reviews at 95% positive.
The announcement came through Steam News on October 21, and the mobile build arrives with The Miner Was Replaced()_ bundled into the same release date rather than trailing behind it. The DLC programs drones to dig and explore underground, with eight new resources including coal, quartz, mushrooms, and dynamite, plus challenges like excavating ancient ruins without damaging them and solving Minesweeper without blowing up the drones.
The base game teaches basic programming concepts in stages but does not explain how to solve each task. The developer says that makes it extremely difficult for people with no programming experience, and challenging for experienced players too. On PC, code saves as .py files and can be edited in external tools such as Visual Studio Code.
