A few lines of Python-like code, one drone, and a whole mine to automate.

Metaroot @metaroot.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

This is The Miner Was Replaced, the upcoming DLC for The Farmer Was Replaced. Instead of automating a farm, you’ll take your Python-like code underground and solve completely new challenges. Releasing November 2.

Metaroot @metaroot.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

With The Miner Was Replaced, we’re taking the programming and automation of The Farmer Was Replaced underground, with new resources, new challenges, and new problems to solve with code. Coming November 2.

I swear every time I think I’ve processed what happened with The Farmer Was Replaced, the next milestone arrives. 😅 1,000,000 copies sold is just unreal. Huge congrats to Timon and thank you to everyone who played the game. Still feels a bit like a dream. ❤️

The Farmer Was Replaced has sold 1,000,000 copies. ❤️ We honestly didn’t expect to reach this milestone so soon. The Steam Programming Fest gave us an incredible boost and helped push The Farmer Was Replaced past one million copies sold. We’re incredibly grateful to everyone who played the game!

Somehow this became a very programming-heavy update. 😄 We have a new demo, a DLC release date and some goblin news from gamescom. Traffic lights, mining drones and probably burned sushi. What a day at Metaroot. 👇

We had a pretty strange idea a few months ago. 😄 Together with the developers of “Bongo Cat” and “Tap Tap Loot,” we’ve created a little crossover project we’re calling “The Typer Was Replaced.” With it, you can now automate the two games from @iroxgames.bsky.social

Metaroot has been doing an obviously excellent job with their recent releases of The Farmer Was Replaced and Goblin Sushi. If you're looking for a small publisher at the top of their game, run by a few very passionate people rather than any big shareholders, I recommend introducing your project!
