Moneyless Harvest Moon-type game? (beehaw.org)

I have such a love/hate relationship with Stardew Valley, slightly less so with My Time At Portia (the developers seem to have at least considered wrist strain in the button layout and mechanics). I long for a moneyless, classless game in this genre where the incentives are community thriving, trust, pleasure, and all the other aspects that make life worth worth living outside of capitalism. Does that game exist?

I feel like the best you could possibly find is a game that uses a resource as payment that isn't called "money," but mechanically it would be the same.

But there is Minecraft. You can farm in that and you don't need money (even though it exists in the form mentioned above). Or Project Zomboid which money exists as money but is only useful as toilet paper.

There are farming-focused mod packs for Minecraft too
