PC please make an invisible block around farm plants.. right now i have to swing 50 or so times to harvest a plant each one different it makes farming n

I find I'm more successful looking straight down on the X of the plant.  But, yeah, I end up hitting the ground or ripping up seeds if I'm in a hurry.

Some time ago I heard someone say it's all dependent on your FOV setting.

So, for example, if you have a very wide or very tall monitor you'll have to adjust your FOV or you'll have problems with how you perceive "reach" in the game.

But aparently even though I said I "believe" and "it matches my experience" I'm acting like I know better and telling TFP what to do.

I said that because you were complaining that "it doesn't seem to be taken seriously. ". This begs the question what you expected apart from the bug being worked on and a tester telling you it is worked on ?

If I have misunderstood you I'm sorry, but this is the impression I get from your message there and your subsequent complaint here.

Hop up in the plot and harvest looking down. Works like a champ. The only crop I harvest looking forward is corn.

dont forget the yucca plant acts same as corn as far as height is concerned.

This^

I also find it's easier for me to walk down the length of the crop row instead of walking along side of it like in the OPs video.

Like this:

I agree because it is worse with some weapons and tools than others.

Talk about making an almost impossible to harvest farm area! That abomination is........ yea. Enjoy yourself with that lol.

Yup, I just watched the video.

If you surround your plants on several sides with full blocks, you are asking for difficulty harvesting.

No wonder you have issues.

Even with the awful design, you harvested most plants in one hit. There was one goldenrod plant that I expected to harvest in one hit that did not, but most of your misses I knew would miss due to your angle and the surrounding blocks.

Harvesting is easy, I don’t understand why you seem to have problem

1: jump up or align yourself straight heading along the lane, and then looking down at an angle to the plant so you can see its description

2: wait until you see the plant name, and click to grab, don’t need a tool, just your hands will be fine

3: step forward same angle and repeat step 2,its kind of a rythm, step grab step grab, easy

For tall crops look up/forward and repeat step 3

It’s that easy

i would do a video, but ive just done my crops so will have to wait for them to grow again

MEANWHILE.....

ok i waited for crops to grow again

this is how you should do it, im sure everyone else does it similar

HARVESTING CROPS

Teas & coffee have wonky hit boxes and that should be looked into... I mean, it's not gamebreaking stuff, but just to soothe our apocalypse a little

I don't have too much problem harvesting crops, and if I damage the farm plot you can just repair it.

TFP should revert back to pressing the activate key "E" to harvest the crops as before and have your land claim block prevent from others not in your group to harvest.  MUST we always have to use PUNCH mechanics in these survival games.... I always find that mechanic silly. (ARK, RUST, FOREST etc ...)

 

[Boidster]

I don't have too much problem with farm plots, though it took a little practice to get consistent with it (slightly different approaches to different plants). But man I punch/stab a bunch of dirt if I'm out trying to harvest plants in the wild. It is...bizarre...that the reticle will clearly say you are looking at Chrysanthemum, but when you swing you stab the dirt.

Hey, 1 free piece of clay I guess...

ok video time.. this is nuts..

  it seems plants are easier to hit when you face east or west.. as the plants are 2x 2 dimensional  object looking does this mean only one plane is hittable?  it is nuts to have to swing 20 times to harvest a plant..   the hardest plants are goldenrod and chrysanthemums ..  but magically for this vid they harvested with only 2 or 3 swings.. but usually goldenrod and the red plant are like this coffee plant i tried to harvest.. i NEVER have problem with potato, blueberry, corn or yuka plants  and i almost ALWAYS have problems with the red and  yellow plants.  maybe add a box that if you hit the dashed box over any given plant  (only observable when your in the next block) that it harvests the plant.  as it is it seems the "target" is different for each plant.. i dont know which leaf to attack to harvest.  makes farming a real drag..  not to mention destroying my cement walls trying to hit a plant.

I see a coffee plant with 5000 hitpoints.
