Now developing : Agriculture & environmental visuals
Now we are developing a very important activity in the Neolithic: Agriculture. You will collect wild seeds and plant them in your farms. You will have to prepare the soil, plant the seeds and protect your crops from animals until they are ready to be harvested. At the same time we want to improve some visuals related to weather system and temperature.

With regards to farming tools, Kurt Helborg mentioned farmers tools on Discord, so it would be an idea to add some more tools for us to have fun with, such as Hoes and perhaps Sickles.
There is also a lil fun thing that Ramsess showed on Discord, smt called "The Digging Stick", yeah best scientific name ever :D However, I can find no immediate evidence they were used by Neolithic farmers in Atlantic Europe.
He also mentioned Adzes which could be used for both tilling soil as well as its more usual function within carpentry.


I dug a little more into the other various types of farming tools congruent with the Neolithic.

* What tools did Neolithic farmers use?
Tools such as Sickles of Bones, helped the Neolithic farmer to reap cereals.
Larger tools of polished stone provided adzes/hoes for tilling the earth.
The sickle is general purpose harvesting hand tool. It is used for the harvesting of vegetables, cereal crops and cutting of the grass and other vegetative matters. Sickle is one of the most common hand tools used for harvesting of the crops, grass and cutting of other vegetative matters.
Think these versatile tools would be cool to use in the neolithic era including the Hoes or Adzes.
These tools can be used for tilling the soil before planting grain and also to reap the produce, but I find Sickles to be everywhere in Europe in one form or another when agriculture was the norm, also some with longer shafts, such as Scythes.

question: will weather conditions [prolonged drought, pouring rains, snow...] have an effect on crops as well?

We are thinking about affecting the growth and production of plants when conditions are not optimal.
