Working with crops, clear twigs, and rocks is a breeze now. This mod both enables and disables several features of some tools in the game by default. You can buy a tractor garage from Robin and then avail a tractor.

Finding a specific NPC for completing a quest or any personal work in the game is frustrating. Some NPCs may shift around various locations or even disappear at times. Bouhm’s NPC Map Locations mod helps you in this case.

It allows you to use an optional minimap and track the locations of NPCs. No more hide-and-seek with NPCs! You can now get to the exact locations on the Map and find them. 

4) Automate

Automate is a mod created by Pathoschild, that helps your workflow with automation. With this mod installed and enabled, you can now automatically feed raw materials into machines, and collect them; which otherwise will consume a lot of energy and take.

Place a chest near machines like a furnace or crystalarium, and the machines would automatically grab the required raw materials and return the processed outputs in the chest. You can also connect a chest to multiple machines to increase the automated workflow.
