Someone said it on stream but... F for Harvest.

[Pichii]

Press F to harvest crops.
"F"

 

[AnsontheToad]

Or even "E" and still get harvest bonus and xp. Punching plants is annoying feels dumb. I miss the hoe and fertilization.

I miss the days where you had a Hoe in 7 days to die.

It used to be E for harvest but they had to change it for obvious reason, stealing crops from others. Would you like that somebody with a gyro lands on your base and steals all your crops by just pressing E? Because that's what was happening before.

So couldn't they just make E work for the person that owns the land claim block surrounding the crops and not work for anyone else?

Yes it's a good idea.

U can create some priority? or protection with barrier (or land claim block)? But it'll look strange to see garden inside some steel barrier protection

You could always put it on the roof.

Land claim block... exactly. Why was doing that instead so hard?

 

[iamnuff]

Yeah, punching them is just not doing it. Either 'activate to harvest' or a tool that harvests without breaking them, and also won't strike the ground next to them and destroy them. 

If 'players stealing your crops' is such a problem, then... make them not able to do that. Obviously. 

Land Claim blocks exist.

I fully support bringing this function back.

I never encountered this issue before, but let's take a shot at fixing it for the victims of the past and potential future.

How to fix stealing crops (in no particular order):

- Tie harvest ability to LCB (as mentioned several times already). You're not the owner/friend of the LCB? No harvest!

- Take a page from Minecraft: Glass blocks do not prevent crops from growing.  LCB + Glass Ceilings = no stolen crops.

- Similar to second point: Tweak spike traps to be 'transparant' and allow crops beneath them to grow. Now fill your ceiling with spikes, and kill thieves that attempt to copter to the top.
