Faster Harvesting and Planting

Please make Farming quicker...
It's just a portion of this game which takes ages..

E.G.
Harvester (needs to be pulled with a horse) twice the speed of harvesting Plus inventory (5x5) for seeds
Seeder (pushed like a wheelbarrow, plant's without interruptions)
Collector (just like a cart but collects the outcome (carrots, beets, leaves, straw)

everything could be higher tier quipment which require basic mechanic and steel or whatever...

Not everything needs to be fast in this game I like the pacing of farming personally. Beyond which, those mechanized farming tools are getting a little out of scope with the "era" haven's in.

Windmills advanced the calendar quite some visually, at least for me...

Maybe not everything in this game needs to be fast (since farming itself takes the time to grow) it already has it's time which is good and should not be changed.
But if you can only play 1 or maybe 2 hours per day, you just maintain everything and can't really play the game.

About scope:

Plus this game's using magic... a little machinery like the loom is not hurting it at all

Then you haven't really been playing as a farmer in a typical hafen village. It takes ages for farmers to harvest and feed so many mouths. Not to mention that they're the first people that quit the game in villages.

Sort of relevant to the discussion, What would be the drawback of simply multiplying all the input and output of farming by, say, 3x?

3x more seeds to plant per tile
3x longer to grow
3x more crops at harvest

The major drawback I see is quality grind is effectively reduced 1/3, but on the flip side of this coin you only farm 1/3 as much.

I've run a 20 man village in the past. Farmers usually take a "special breed" to do at village level, but I've seen many stick at it for month after month as their daily chore.

Beyond that, It's an opinion *shrugs*.
