This ultra-satisfying farm automation sim can actually teach you how to code

Games can be a great way to learn real-life skills. Minecraft is often held up as a fantastic tool for encouraging creativity, and Stardew Valley teaches good habits for time management. The Farmer Was Replaced is one of the cleverest examples of this I've experienced in a while. It takes the joy of automating a farm and watching it all play out in true Factorio fashion, and turns it into a way to learn basic coding. If you're a budding programmer or, like me, haven't attempted it in years and fancy going back for another shot, developer Timon Herzog's creation has just hit 1.0 after two years in early access, and it'll cost you less than $10.
