Harvesting tools?

[Porcelain1985]

Hi, love the game so far and spent quite some time in Wahoo Beach already. One thing that seems a bit tedious is the harvest, however. It just takes so long... Is there some sort of harvesting tool planned to make our farmer lives easier?

And planting seeds as well?

Not at present. We've got vague ideas about implementing something like that, but that would probably be after the game leaves beta.

OK, good to know. Thanks for your reply!
Maybe one way to implement this could be to extend the function of the sickle. Like, apart from cutting grass for fodder, it could also cut the harvest of all the fields near the player. There's a mod for Stardew Valley that works similarly. Might be easier to implement than designing a brand new tool.
