The Farmer Was Replaced, timed run in

Turn on subtitles for commentary!

The Farmer Was Replaced is a game about programming a farming drone to manage a farm.

Once you've played casually, you can reach the leaderboard by writing a single program to climb the tech tree again from the beginning. This is one such run. The solution code is not shown, but the drone's behavior may answer some questions about the game mechanics.
The version played here is current as of 2023-10-26.

If you're unable to run that solution because you don't have dicts, use the hand-on-the-wall solver until you have enough Gold to unlock them:
