Small change to farming.

[SlicingTheMoon]

I just hate that my character is first planting 1 row then walk all the way back to the start to plant another row. Could it not just plant on what ever tile is closest, like when harvesting or picking up stuff?

Signed to support some alternative, more optimized, pathfinding for planting large areas. Not sure that 'closest tile' would be ideal, however.

The first solution one thinks of for a given problem is usually the worst-optimized. For an illustration of this, see: that CGP Grey video about the planes.

"closest tile" would most likely not work very nice (if at all, unless some other stuff is completely re-coded).
Just look at how weird the picking up crops stuff works. And than there is also the distance limit (for long field lengths).

Main reason why the heartling tends to walks back without doing any seeding is that at some point they added multi-tile seeding, ... While keeping the, at that point, now outdated fixed direction per even/uneven rows.

Although its fun to see the different paths the farmer takes based on field width and start position+direction. ... Kinda reminds me a bit of "Conway's Game of Life" (1970 ... O dear, that old. lol.)
