Add Sicle, being a single-hand item that works as the scythe is now (processing 1 tile, faster than hand harvesting).
Update the Scythe to new mechanic :
- Harvest the 3 tiles infront of the character (matching the animation played)
- Same speed and Stamina drain as harvesting 1 tile with Sicle
- Cap the harvested product, to give a downside for the increased speed

I assuming for this means scythe quality softcaps harvest crop quality?Granger wrote:- Cap the harvested product, to give a downside for the increased speed
I think this is a good idea, if only because it can buff the current scythe for making it one handed. I like to holding the buckets.

Re: Update Scythe
Capping isn't necessary for this to be implemented. +1 anyways. Should take steel. We need more steel tools in general if you ask me. Shears of some sort that yield more wool, steel axe for less stamina drain. Pardon my derail.

Re: Update Scythe
IMHO a x3 speedup (multiple tiles per swoop) when harvesting (including resulting stamina drain reduction) needs a counterbalance.

Re: Update Scythe
I am assume that the shift click harvest all will not work with this. If this is true, the the added hassle of moving to a correct position for use is a counterbalance.Granger wrote:IMHO a x3 speedup (multiple tiles per swoop) when harvesting (including resulting stamina drain reduction) needs a counterbalance.
If automagic mode is upgraded too, then maybe. But capping is a massive drawback. Good for crops who have not mattering quality I guess.

Re: Update Scythe
Idea was that it would work on areas like current harvesting does.

Re: Update Scythe
i'd rather not have it capping the harvest. Please dont make it more difficult to keep up with the factions.

I think even the faction will use the sickle for highest quality crops.Redkat wrote:i'd rather not have it capping the harvest. Please dont make it more difficult to keep up with the factions.

Large crop and high q crop = hand sickle + tsack

Re: Update Scythe
Sounds like a great idea, I approve.
