Scythe

[Jesterz]

Farming has taken so many steps forward with not needing bots to farm and replant. This is a fast track backwards to get everyone using farming bots again. Please look at the big picture and not just what's within your round pole fence.

This is used to cut tall grass in field. Totally not beetroots off ground of grapes off their bushes.

You're just not hardcore enough for that

Because someone wants to give us tool belts. *peers*

Maybe not clicky tools, but equipment progression for farming and smithing would be interesting.

We already have that in melee combat with the bronze swords - soldier swords - b12, and the several armors. It would be awesome if there were equivalents for smiths and farmers. And it doesn't have to be inconvenient.

Well since the advert-bot brought this topic up so helpfully, it'd be cool to see shovels grant a harvest speed to beetroot, onions, carrots, etc. Especially since toolbelts are now in the game as was hinted at earlier in the thread.

That feel when people take a shubla C&I seriously....

Just no.

+1 your right about the belts. it even automatically switched between tools when you go to harvest something else. its not like its a big deal.

and last i checked, scythe quality doesnt affect anything anyway. so making a variety of tools would make farming more on par with the need to constantly replace your weapons every time the quality average of the world goes up. obviously it wouldnt be equal, but we don't need it to be.

bigass troll belts have 9 freakin slots. is everyone that scared to give up a waterskin or two?

Taking a step back for useless tedium™ isn't a fucking novel idea. Keep in mind not everyone is going to have 50 trollhide belts to spare at the start of next world.
What is wrong with you people?

I wouldn't mind a one handed variant like a sickle. The issue is finding a way to differentiate it from the scythe.

if you can use the tool for a slightly slower speed than scythe when farming then GREAT idea (able to use on ALL crops) only because its not 2 handed.

If only used for grapes then BAD idea. please no.

Sickle has already been suggested numerous times.

[shubla]

Scythe could be used for wheat and those.
A small shovel mentioned in the OP for beetroots and stuff.
Sickle would be kind of like scythe, but slower.
The benefit from sickle is that it is one-handed, so you can keep a tsack or bucket in your other hand for the seeds!
