Can we get a Horse/Cattle way to speed up farming?

Not sure your sarcasm is conveying very well

Not sure making it easier does anything but push the botting relevance window further. Might not be a bad thing, but, idk.

I feel like this is a bit of a misnomer that comes up a lot here. If there were a significant advantage to doubling the size of our fields, we wouldn't be pleading for an easier way to harvest crops, we'd just run a second robot with the same script as the first. Heck, most of the farming bots I use don't even use scythes because speed is such a non-issue, whereas when I occasionally manually farm something not having a scythe would make me want to die.

In general, there seems to be a line of reasoning: something is botted a lot > make it harder, or more tedious > haha this will slow down the robots
When in reality, it's more like: something is botted a lot > it becomes more tedious to do manually > bot is updated > people without the bot are even worse off comparatively. Cheese rackQ being the best example, I think.

Not that this is an argument in favor, or against the OP, I just notice this thinking applied a lot and it seems misguided

Another change that illustrates the point that SnuggleSnail is making: Beehives requiring bee larva.

Of course it stops people from mass-producing hives at the first week, but at that point availability of straw already does that. Hardcore players quickly grab enough larva to make hives and start snowballing the amount of hives, little changes. Meanwhile newbies can easily struggle to raid even a single wild beehive.
