Make the Scythe 1 handed

[Newbie53]

Currently the bucket item is kinda worthless for farming. The only reason you'd need it, is to hold seeds when farming in bulk. When you farm in bulk, however, a scythe is pretty much mandatory and the scythe is 2 handed which completely blocks the use of the bucket unless you store it in a basket or something and at that point you're better off using a barrel. With maxed farming upgrades, seeds easy flood the inventory when farming in bulk with a scythe, but since the scythe is 2 handed, you can't equip the bucket to manage this, making it counter productive. Either the bucket needs to change or the scythe. 2 items that would be perfect together, but neither can be used at the same time. If the Scythe it needs to be 1 handed and if the Bucket it needs to remove the held requirement for seeds.

Add a belt that lets you carry two filled buckets on it.

A scythe being used one handed is kind of nonsense. Instead maybe grow another arm to hold the bucket.

I think its unreasonable you being able to run and sprint with two buckets in your hands (full of water) without spilling water. Make it so you drop 0.1l while running and 0.25l at sprints each second.

2 buckets can hold 2 thousand grains, which is more than the increase due to bags.
+40 inventory slots

I can tell you're trolling so here's a counter offer. Completely remove the bucket's ability to hold seeds as it serves no real purpose as it's worthless in it's current state and anything buckets can do, Barrels can do better

Just imagine if we had deeper agricultural mechanic: sickles for harvesting wheat and beet leaves, pitchforks and plows for tubers, shears to harvest hops, flail for separating "seeds" from "straw". Even more tools perhaps, and this is just for harvesting. Man, that would be a nightmare!

Easy solution: Make purses store seeds as well.

I wish we could use buckets in pouch slots.

It's time we recognized that not all genders are created equal.
Female hearthlings need an equipable bra that gives them two extra pouch slots.
Male hearthlings should be able to freely tie a bucket that hangs between their legs.

If you don't implement this with the next patch, you're clearly taking [x reprehensible stance] on gender issues.

Do it or I self immolate.
Think of all the carbon that'll release into the atmosphere.
Greta Thunberg will probably picket you.

Being real for a second, being able to equip a shoulder yoke / carrying pole in the cape slot with double buckets makes complete sense. They were used all over the world, from ancient Greece, to Europe, and are still commonly used in Asia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrying_pole

This would reasonably allow us to use buckets with scythes.

If you're feeling lazy, a cape mounted bucket by itself is also completely acceptable. See above link, which contains a picture of a back mounted basket.
