Lazy Farmer

Select an area with the mouse and your farmer waters crops, chops trees and breaks stones by himself.

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).
