Barn update

[Tillquidriel]

1. I would love to be able to upgrade the barn without having to destroy it and rebuild. And move all the animals... Takes too long and then i have a small barn which I no longer need. Barn upgrades really should't need to raise it back to the ground to start again.

2. Can we please be able to move the barn without having to move all the animals out,
destroy the barn, rebuilt, and put the animal back...

3. Silo to store the food centralised instead of chests in the barn, please.

4. Auto-feed for later in game (take food from silo to the thoughts in the barn). Archimedes screw was invented a long time ago and was used in the olden days for lifting water and feeding animals.

This is a great idea! It would be wonderful if we could replace Small Barns with Medium Barns instead of being forced to destroy and rebuild Barns.
Silos and Autofeeders, would be wonderful as well.
Also yes, we take a lot of the automation practices invented countless hundreds of years ago for farming for granted.
For example in some parts of the world automation for watering plants is many thousands of years old, even if it was a more recent couple thousand year old thing for Europeans.
The same is true for many of the more primitive methods of automating feeding livestock, where numerous livestock can be fed simultaneously by activating a single device attached to a feed silo thanks to mechanical engineering that is less than 2000 years old year.
I think we take for granted basic mechanics, and forget that not all technology was high tech for farming. A lot of mid-tech and low-tech devices and machines also exist.
We don't have to be split between no-tech and high-tech farming systems.
We can do inbetween.
