Scene: a thatched white clay-walled khata with blue shutters on a gentle slope, a wooden post-mill with four lattice sails on a hill, wheat and a large field of sunflowers in the foreground, a river on the far side and low sun under orange clouds.

Common causes
Hardware acceleration is turned off in the browser
Graphics driver is out of date or blocklisted
Context lost mid-session: the scene pauses and restores itself; your farm is kept
Try enabling hardware acceleration in the browser settings, updating the graphics driver, or opening the page in another browser. The 2D charts (Sun, windmill, wall) still work without WebGL.

The science
Educational model — not a weather or energy forecast. Independent simulation, not affiliated with any organisation. Cultural elements are stylised. Constants marked “model value” are not from a measurement.
