Sickle

Since the scythe buff does a huge area. It would be nice to have a smaller tool ie: sickle which acts like the old scythe, a single tile but with the reduced stamina loss of using a tool.

Could even use soft metal to give a better sink for lead etc early world

Primarily in early world when playing in a large group and everybody is doing farmer credo at the same time so as to only harvest what you need.

Also using soft metal it adds a nice middle step for early world progression if it has a buff to stamina drain from empty handed farming.

But also if you have overlapping fields from people being messy and you just want to do one crop type instead of absolutely everything

use your hands then
or just accept you're going to over-harvest by like 3 crops, and just suck it up and plant more

p.s., you don't harvest multiple types of crops with the area harvest.

Another use is being able to hold a bucket to be able to carry more seeds.

It surprises me why people would be against having a mid-tier tool for early game. This primarily would support hermits and inexperienced players who haven't found hard metal yet

This is one of the more frequently request adds, or some sort of seedbag that can be used with scythes. I'm with you here.

But would you really have to?

I would happily give up the scythe area bonus for being able to carry a bucket and not lose all stamina
