A four-player farm sim that some groups stretch with community tooling, but which should not be mistaken for a native 5+ pick.

For Friday Night 5: this section keeps the answer short before you dig into the details.
Works for 5: Modded. Setup difficulty: 2/5. Progression risk: Low.
Multiplayer notes
The co-op path is comfortable for a small group, but the larger-group path is modded and should remain visibly so.
Hosting notes
Very approachable to host, but the 5+ story is still modded and should not be treated as native.
Progression notes
The farm is forgiving, but the modded group-size path should stay low confidence.

Why the page separates them
Storefront data says what the store claims. The internal review layer is what the app trusts when deciding whether the game works for a 5-8 player group.
