Which activity becomes the most repetitive in Farming Games?

[Sakura02]

Our of curiosity which activity quickly got the most repetitive/boring. Seems like a silly question since much of games like Harvest Moon and other farming games is about doing the same things day after day. I'm asking this because we're considering adding some game perks to make some of these repetitive activities easier. Thanks.

For me personally it was having to brush the animals or else they would get upset. Because of this I never got as many animals as I would have liked.

For me it was feeding the animals. In some harvest moon games you take the feed and put it in one spot for each animal. I prefer taking one feed and putting it in a trough sorta thing so they all eat. However, above that I would rather invest in an auto-feeder or use a harvest sprite's help or something... :3c

And although it's not required, I never liked giving treats to my farm animals to make them produce more goods. Especially in hm anb where you need to count and give a specific number of treats. I wouldn't mind it if there was an easy way to keep track like the gauge in sos.

As for the brushing thing, there are such things as cow brushing machines :D It would be cool to see that implemented!

Recovering stamina became the most arduous, especially in the recent games like Story of Seasons, where if you forget to keep an eye on your stamina whilst you're, say, tilling your shiny new field, you've got a trip to the clinic and a wasted day

Besides that, it would be watering. One forgotten watering session (say I run out of stamina before I got to watering a crop) and the crop is dead, and for someone like me who quite frankly sucks at remembering, like, everything, it can be a hassle

Don't..even..get..me started.. on ANB but yes I agree.

I don't know why but I feel like in other HM games you would know when you were running out of stamina before you actually did. I have this same issue in ANB. I think it's because it's lack of feedback, usually when you start getting tired in other games the character's posture changes and the game clearly lets you know as you are doing your activity that you need to recover stamina.
