Shanhai Ranch is a desktop idle management game.
Build a small ranch of mythical beasts along the edge of your desktop and let it run while you work, watch videos, or do anything else. Your beasts will move, produce resources, and keep the ranch running on their own. Collect items, organize your storage, raise your beasts, and slowly grow your ranch over time.
A Ranch That Lives on Your Desktop
Your ranch stays at the edge of your desktop without taking over your screen. You do not need to constantly manage it — it keeps running quietly while you do other things.
Collect Items and Build Your Storage
Your beasts continuously produce items of different rarities. Sort what you collect, keep rare finds, and gradually fill your storage with useful materials and collectibles. The items you gather can also contribute to your Handbook and support your ranch’s growth.
Raise Beasts and Keep the Ranch Running
Each beast belongs to one of five elements: Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth. Every element contributes in a different way, so building the right lineup is key. Balance production and resource flow to keep your ranch growing steadily.
