I like the new gardening method.

I would make one small change. Make the E key harvest crops again. I really do not like punching the crops. It is way to easy to punch the seedling and I am wasting a lot of time replanting the damn things.

It makes no sense to me why the crops care not be harvestable by using the E key at this time.

+1. To make matters worse, seedling hit boxes do not match their outline boxes, so your cursor points to the next plant, but your attack still hits the seedling.

I agree with this , its a very annoying mechanic. Why we still can pick up other things, but not crops doesn't make sense to me.

I actually avoid farming my crops sometimes because of how annoying it is.

 
+1 to return E key harvesting.

I've actually taken to only planting in one block wide rows due to all the times I've punched out the seed. And with all the caution you have to take now, I'd wager the old system of replanting is actually faster. :(

A guess but I've been wondering if the change is actually related to the bug of vehicles destroying everything in their path.

Seems like anything that is E accessible also = boom if any vehicle hits it. Small Stones, garbage piles, birds nests, etc.

 
It’s because of the way that harvesting mechanics work now. You have to damage the block to get the resource. E does no block damage at all.

Yup, that's my real problem with it. I don't care whether it's a punch or the E key but when I am clearly targeting the next crop and i end up pulling up a seed it's not a good time.

 
I want this change too! Please come Back with E button!!!

Here a solution.

If the developers want us use stamina to farm, then they can still make us punch the crops but the seeds must be taken with E. With this we wont will pulling of seeds.

Biggest problem of A17.

 
It's not an oversight, like somebody already posted above, it probably is bc they want the activity of harvesting to use up stamina.

Then reducing the hitbox of the seeds would be a possible solution.

 
It would be a nice QoL improvement but not sure why people are struggling with farming so much, I haven't punched out a seed once and I collect crops by keeping my finger on LMB and strafe until all crops are harvested. Maybe it's a lag issue with MP as I only play SP?

 
Hmm. Sometimes you screw badly and you tear one or two sprouts. Just replant it. I'm wrong or it's still 10 times less micro-management than in the A16 where you had to replant all the sprouts every time ?

nope, theres really no issue hitting them in MP. I occasionally hit a seed due to me not moving over before I click but other than that I can harvest my whole 20x(however many seeds there are) farm in about 2 minutes usually.

It's primarily a problem with cotton, chrysanthemums, and probably golden rod (but I haven't felt the need to grow it this alpha). A model update would probably fix it. It's a minor annoyance.

I don't see why there couldn't be a stamina cost associated to E harvesting them. Then we'd have the best mesh of usability and intended functionality.
