I looked into this game a bit more. Although work does seem to be ongoing, the devs don't seem really too intent on it. Anyone keep up with it any better?

Incredible videos.  Reports say there were injuries, but no deaths.

I do like this show as well - some of it is obviously very scripted like TopGear but his appreciation for the farmers shows through.  As someone who had to work on the family farm every summer I appreciate its humor and honest showing of the farmers lot.

Board gaming - finishing off an excellent game of Colonial Twilight then the difficult choice of whether to establish Great Britain as a republic with Cruel Necessity or just blow shit up with Panzer Command. Decisions, decisions...

You can never go wrong with just blowing $hit up.....

I looked at Manor Lords, but it seems so similar to Farthest Frontier (great game) that I could not get excited about it. What is the difference?

I've not played Farthest Frontier and have only dabbled in ML, but you're right, they do seem very similar (also Foundation, which I've played a fair amount of).  ML offers a Total War-style tactical battle system to resolve encounters with bandits and other factions.  Not a particular selling point for me (if I want to play Total War-style tactical battles, I'll play, er, Total War), but some might like it.  The other thing ML has is the option to plonk your avatar down and walk about in your creation, which I do find pretty cool.
