make it smaller or make more seedbags and save the seed bags till you get to something you can bake with like carrots or pumpkins and just grind two to four bags on the spot and grind and bake it. it's the most inventory conservative way to store flour and only requires a lot of seedbags.

If you really have that much more than you can process like if you're building lots of mansions, at the very LEAST trough the seeds for fodder. It's easier and faster than dropping and doesn't waste your product.

>_>

I don't give an honest shiet about the flour or whatever I could use the seeds for.

The fact is that I have a big ass field, and harvesting it is a big friggin pain in the (oh, guess what?) HAND. It takes 540 clicks to drop all the seeds so i can start replanting, before I continue harvesting.

In my opinion, that's 538 clicks too many.

..... Stop farming? If there is a part of the task you dislike enough and find tedious, stop doing it. My community would be happy to supply your farmed crop needs. (for a price, of course)

A large field is supposed to be labor intensive. Plan your farms and gardens to a scale that you have the most optimal use for, or get other hearthlings to help with harvesting.

I've found that for large sized linen /straw based farms, it's easier once the farm is established, to use industry belief characters to farm it instead of nature; you just replant the seeds to maintain the farm and don't have to worry about the surplus. Of course this method your quality will suffer, but usually when you're mass farming a specific thing like that quality doesn't matter.

Yikes...

My suggestion was an "Drop All" button for the seedbags.

Farming is my passion, and I don't see why you'd assume I think it's too tedious, I never said it was.


It's all the dropping of the seeds that aches my heart - It is an issue, I tell you. I shouldn't have to (as i have stated so many times in this thread already) seriously risk carpal tunnel just because somebody rather calls me lazy-arse than listen to my simple non-game-changing suggestion.

just grind the extra wheat into flour you'll get tons of lp and you only have to click once...
