Pitchfork - Upgradeable to iridium

[davey]

A pitchfork can be used to grab hay from hopper from upgraded coops/barns.
A pitchfork would use energy to extract hay:

Pitchfork: 1 hay at a time
Copper Pitchfork: 5 hay at a time
Steel Pitchfork: 10 hay at a time
Gold Pitchfork: 20 hay at a time
Iridium Pitchfork: 50 hay at a time

There could be other uses for it, but could be a solution other then using cherry bombs to get hay out to empty silos.

Excuse me, please, but why on earth do you use cherry bombs to empty a silo? Isn't it much easier via the hay hopper? 🫪

I think you can't take it out once the auto feeder is installed because the feeding bench is always full, but if you blow it up the game will let you take it thinking you'll replace the gap.

Yeh what Nonak said, once you upgrade the coop or barn to the final stage you can't take the hay out anymore. So upon reading, a cherry bomb can be used but I think that is quite silly lol. It's amazing what workarounds the community finds to stuff like this, that is why I like sdv.

Hmm, somehow that's never crossed my mind in any of my games... And why would I want to empty the silo? And what exactly are you blowing up? The hay on the feed rack or the hay hopper? Questions over questions...

If your silo(s) is full and you have grass left that you wanna cut down, you can take hay out and store it in a chest. If you just cut it with silos full, it won't turn into hay and will basically be wasted.

Ah, ok, I'll just ever leave the grass where it is, when the silo is full. I mostly like it growing at the farm.

I cut it all so my animals have food and then replant it so the farm doesn't look as empty... Grass is nice. Corners overgrown by trees are too.

By that do you mean that you blow up the feeding bench or the silo itself? I've never actually tried to blow up a building, though of course I've blown up plenty of machines by accident when Kent sends a megabomb through the mail...

The feeding bench, the hay on it gets blown up and a few pieces dissapear.
Buildings are about as affected by bombs as NPC's in this game...

I usually don't have trouble with Kent's gifts, it's more from coming home after Skull Caverns...

I clear mostly everything before a green rain to maximize a green rain day. I do not like to waste the hay, it becomes useful in the winters. I have a chest i can store stacks of 999 hay in and reload silos if they run low.
