yeah, there's definitely a lot of quality of life automation things we could get that I can't imagine would be a hard code to write for them.
My +1:
1.I'd love to see automated farming with water drinking, doesn't even need to replant if it auto-stockpiles on the fields as it goes would be enough for me.
2.Shift-right click into trough like colsie mentions
3.When digging dirt, ability to designate area to form stockpiles of said dirt at as the land is flattened. We can already throw it over massive distances on the same leveling, why not let us auto-stack spare dirt to the side?
4.Maybe some sort of building we can make that adds on to an ore smelter, and dumps more ore in as the old stuff finishes cooking. Could even stockpile metal automatically like said above idea. While it's not a big problem to swing back to base every once in awhile to change the smelters, I know that's something people bot. Same deal would be a coal-funnel that lets you feed in a ton of fuel to steel smelters so you don't need to wake up in the night in a cold sweat panicking if that steel went out
Edit:basically, we have the stockpile system and I'd love to see some automated ways to form stockpiles of things while working.... ohh, stockpiling wooden blocks and boards beside you automatically if your inventory overflows would be wonderful as well!
