The goal of TFP isn't to make the game more realistic, but it is to make the game more fun
and I, and many players are all in favor of that!Farming, IMO, was very tedious and boring, so anything that simplifies the process, is good to me

if you think farming is tedious in vanilla. watch kage848 and bloodstalker 101 videos then talk to me.
farming is a lot better in 16.4 than in 15.2 if you remember, also consider this be glad you're not playing starvation mod.The goal of TFP isn't to make the game more realistic, but it is to make the game more fun

With food:
Eventually, obtaining food should become less and less of a problem as greater threats to your survival become more prevalent.
I think A17 is near perfect on food survival: Tough in early game when other threats are weak and easier when other threats start becoming strong.

WRONG WRONG WRONG. This game is supposed to be a survival game, but with each alpha it becomes easier and more boring. And i blame comments like yours.The goal of TFP isn't to make the game more realistic, but it is to make the game more fun

I disagree. It's so easy to mod you can tweak the difficulty however you like. Your strength, zombies' strength, resources, block strength, etc. And much more. One of 7D's strengths is that it is so easily (and heavily) moddable, you can make it as easy or difficult as you like.

Yes. Fun > realism. But I wouldn't want to call the game difficult by any means..
Just wondering.. Why did they implement the 'empty-hands-punch-instead-off-E' change? If one uses the same argument, do we need empty hands for looting any container?

Farming would be way more useful when there is a food spoilage timer.
Then the only ways to secure a good supply of (good) food is to either keep perpetually looting/hunting for it, or farming it.
Currently food is becoming a non issue after a while, as the player will stockpile found food.
With food spoilage stockpiling is not possible. Its needs to be gathered/farmed and prepared regularly.
(only for canned food, wich should give less bonuses)
The player can then choose: do I stockpile "low grade" non perishable foods like water and canned food.
Or do I want a secure supply of high grade food (cooked foods and prepared drinks) wich give bonuses but will perish after a while.

You have to leave a hot bar slot open to pick up a plant, which may then get filled because you picked it. So you have to move the item to your backpack to reopen the slot, in order to pick more plants.
If that's how this change is going to work, then it sounds painful.
Do you still press 'E' to pick up stones, or something else lying on the ground, like a dropped bow?
What's the benefit to forcing such a change on all the players who have become accustomed to the current implementation?
