Make a tool that collects all wool in one go from one sheep (3x faster when sheep is full).

Don't touch pumpkins. It is last vegetable I can have fun with. Trellis are annoying and rest is just boring collect -> replant. Can't even play with good / bad seeds anymore (unless hit with bad luck and have previous harvest in storage).



And While I can understand problem with sheeps, don't especially complain about pigs if You're too lazy.

While it's true that amazing stats should require amazing work, slaughtering/sheering is off the mark for activity per time unit. Pumpkins require too much clicking/inventory screwery, and sheep take too long to complete each action for keeping you busy. Hard work doesn't mean it has to be a mechanic that feels badly paced.

Kinda true, but then it should be replaced with some more elaborate mechanic which still requires lots of effort but is not too boring.
Instead people are just asking for 'make it faster/easier/automatic'.

Butchering is since faster with a butcher's cleaver, but I also can't help but argue that you could reduce the size of your CAFO a bit.
