Tractor Speed

[shadara3]

There needs to be a second faster tractor setting when in automatic mode. The current speed when in auto mode might be fine for some but there needs to be a second faster setting for those with less time to play.

You probably haven't played FT1 where auto mode wasn't present.
Supposing you need to harvest your crops from one plot and then want to plant something else, in FT1 to do this, you have to go with your tractor onto the terrain and :

1) Harvest the crops
2) Plow the soil
3) Sow a new plant
4) Water the new plant

For each action you must to go to your terrain and physically click on the point where you want to perform the action.
It takes so much time to harvest or seed new plants.
So ultimately, the best option in end game was to have 90% flowers and 10% land to plant for quests.
Now, in FT2, when you want to harvest and reseed, you can set the new seed and then the tractor does all the operations at the same time.
It's a big change and I think if you don't have enough time despite this feature, this is probably not the right game for you.
Farm Together requires calm and, in the end, that's the best thing about this game.
You can play it 10 minutes a day or 10 hours and if you can't come back to play for days, you won't find your crops damaged...
Enjoy the game for the time you have available.

It's for the best that automatic mode is slower because it's doing the work for you. Otherwise there would be no reason to do the work manually. There would also be no reason to use the slow auto mode if they added a faster one.

i am good with the current auto mode but it would be great if you could turn of watering though

+1 to turn off the watering. I only water whenI plant something over 6 hours and even then, if I'm putting in something before I log for the day/night, no need.

Even less need once they fix the rain.... (Didn't FT1 have a rain not working issue?)

I realize it's probably to much complexity but perhaps the tractor could 'remember' the last manual actions. So if I just want to AFk for coffee but cultivate without planting (longer stretches obviously), I would cultivate the first 9 squares then let auto take over. If I wanted to harvest, cultivate, plant a stretch, I would manually harvest, cultivate, choose my crop and then plant the first set of squares then auto takes over. Skip watering unless you 'record' that as part of the set of tasks.
