Unfortunately, it does seem to have a lot of issues. I got that you can harvest the crops into the trucks with the harvester and plant the crops with the tractors but once it got to what to do with the machines when they were full or out of gas, it kind of broke down. I would send the trucks off the side and sometimes they would just come straight back, other times they would get emptied out but still out of gas or get their gas tanks filled without emptying their load. The main problem, however, is that I would send machines off the side to get more gas but then they would just never come back, to the point that I ended up with no machines left because they all ran out of gas.
The function of the different tractors is fairly intuitive through the visual design and the pressure of managing multiple different trucks with fuel and different function makes it quite dynamic and challenging.
Maybe a bit too much time pressure for a beginner, but the idea of starting with grown crops and only introducing the seed planting later was great to ease the players into it.
