Lazy Farmer
Tired of clicking every single crop, tree and rock? Select an area with the mouse and your farmer does the routine work by himself — he walks there, picks the right tool and gets the job done.
Available in English and Russian.
Features
Watering (key K)
- Hold the left mouse button and drag a rectangle over your fields — the farmer walks around and waters them on his own.
- Only crops that actually need water are watered: empty tilled soil and already watered tiles are skipped, so no energy is wasted (empty soil can be enabled in the settings). Garden pots are watered too.
- Upgraded watering cans are used properly: the farmer charges the can (3, 5, 9 tiles, 5x5 with the Reaching enchantment) and picks the spot and direction that cover the most dry crops. A bigger charge is only used when it is worth the energy.
- When the can runs dry, he walks to the nearest water (pond, river, well...), refills it and continues.
- Crops you can't walk through (hops, grapes, green beans on a trellis) are watered from the side.
Chopping (key L)
- Trees in the selected area are chopped down, stumps are removed.
- Fruit trees are never touched, and trees with a tapper are skipped.
- Also clears twigs, large stumps (copper axe or better) and large logs that give hardwood (steel axe or better).
- Saplings are skipped by default (can be enabled).
Stones (key P)
- Breaks stones in the selected area — on the farm and in the mines.
- Ore and gem nodes too: copper, iron, gold, iridium, radioactive, gems, mystic stones, bone and volcano nodes.
- Boulders (steel pickaxe or better) and meteorites (gold pickaxe or better).
Smart and safe
- Uses the game's own pathfinding: the farmer walks around fences, trees, buildings and water. Unreachable targets are marked red and skipped.
- Stops automatically when energy is low (configurable), so you never pass out.
- Take control any time: moving, using a tool or pressing the key again stops the job.
- Targets are highlighted while selecting and while working (blue — water, green — wood, orange — stones).
