Each item added to the farm increases its quality to a varying degree, depending on its cost or purpose. As chickens lay eggs or sheep can be sheared, as examples, players can increase their farm's productivity by purchasing machines to collect these items for them, rather than constantly scrolling around the barnyard to collect items by hand.
This isn't to say that these machines completely remove the complexity of the game, as it's still incredibly easy to become overwhelmed by everything there is to do.
