[feature request] harvester

Hi,
I would like to request a simple harvester for crops and trees (specially trees) most mods now add some form of weird shaped trees to the world that makes chopping a tree a pain in the ass, also for fuel purposes charcoal is great, and I can't have that many mods on my server, some of the mods that add this kind of stuff Ender IO for example are not on 1.12 and others that are like forestry add a billion other items and some very very weird and complex configuration to do so.
how about a block or something that you put on the ground give it rf, tools and materials, and it will plant crops, trees and harvest them? there was a fun simple mod called progressive automation that did this kind of stuff in a simple way, but it seems to have died a while ago. =(
So I manage to collect wood with the builder but the problem is not planting saplings.... So this got me thinking...
How about some new modes for the builder with new shape cards for planter (one for crop planter that prepares soil and harvests and another for plants that don't need prepared soil, but doesn't harvest) and then some funky rftool control integration to change the shape card, filter card and mode of the builder.
So a tree harvester would be a planter card with some saplings and then using rftool controls I change the mode to clearing quarry with a filter to gather wood. =D
Actually I think Soaryn managed to have the builder plant saplings on forgecraft. The builder can place blocks you know
I know it can copy based on a template... but didn't knew that it can place them just like that, and I would need 2 builders one for placing and one for gathering? so the mode change, with filters and cards change would still be a nice idea. I think. =D
I could make it cycle between the 2 modes, make it run for a minute on gathering wood and the make a quick switch to plant, and the gather again. But I would need to make some filters for saplings to plant, and wood to chop, and cycle them along with changing the mode of operation of the builder, and the shape card for the area.
so I managed to make the builder plant trees, but I did need a separate builder, a space chamber card, the space chamber setup blocks, and a bunch of saplings planted with some planks on top to make a template.... seems a rather expensive setup to just plant trees. not to mention the wasted space of the saplings that are just sitting there as template.
