Oh yea you're right, you don't need to re-hoe again if you use the sickle. I was not aware using a sickle was easier on stamina than hoeing. But with the amount of sickle strokes it takes to knock down a crop feels like it may be at least equal stamina loss to using a hoe (does each crop take the same amount of sickle strokes, do we know? Tomatoes took me 15 whacks to clear the plot, whereas using a hoe is obviously 5). Of course that's speculation, but I'll try it out after I get fresh crops to shred to death.
Okay, that's weird. I have an basic, un-upgraded sickle, and it only takes me 3 strokes for every crop except fodder, which takes 4. I did tomatoes just a little while ago. I do it by holding the A button, not pressing repeatedly, could that be the difference?
It takes me 3 holding down or multi press with an upgraded sickle. I'm not sure how many times it was going to take before or how 15 stacks up or anything, but definitely more than 3.
I just tested, and it actually takes me 4 swipes, so I guess I miscounted before. Question: how is your sickle upgraded? Only Efficiency effects the time (number of swipes) it takes, so how many levels is that upgraded?
