PC What's the word on bringing Hotkey E back?

I find it really annoying personally. I don't see what you like about it.

Waaaait is this part of the whole texture streaming revamp then? They converted plants to blocks? Huh.

You literally have no idea what you are even saying. How does converting the plant to a block save on textures?

They changed it because it is WHAT THEY WANT. They can control the harvest amount this way. Its not just a flat number when you pick it up, but they can add tools to make farming more efficient. Harvest can be used in a lot of different ways as opposed to E pickup.

Sorry you can't see what people like about it. Such is the nature of change. Not everyone will agree. I love it personally. No more running around spamming E like a spazz.

Slow your roll SpazJax.

I do recall that Texture Streaming gave the development team a perk that they could increase their maximum block ID's. So... yeah... I do have an idea.

Sorry ya didn't like spamming E like a spazz. I rather enjoyed the speed of it and how it didn't and shouldn't impact stamina, especially causing max stamina damage. Because picking a flower isn't nearly as hard as swinging a hoe. It's just... not...

 
While it is different I wouldn't say its harder or that it takes longer, with the right mods. Jax has a very good point about why people do like the new system. There are way more possibilities with farming and plants now that ever before :D

 
I believe the problem lies on people punching by mistake the plant and getting the seed back when they just wanted to farm the "ready" plants.

If this is the case, why not make it so that the only way you get a seed back is by using the Hoe. If the plant is growing you cant interact with it by punching it. No "big" changes needed, everybody is happy. I think...

It’s because of the way that block collision works. Attacking with a hoe is considered melee. I tried tools but it doesn’t currently exist as a separate collision type. So the next best thing is to remove collision and make it pick up-able.

Like what additional possibilities though? Do you mean for modders specifically?

Well block collision is just one aspect really. There's also block detection and action that can be added to the mix to make it so a Hoe is the tool needed to pull seeds out. I agree with Random, make the collision of a seed do zero damage/miss and set damage from a hoe to collect the seed. Would be a heck of a lot better IMO. I'd rather a good vanilla experience than have to rely on mods to get a good experience.

Don't have to replant. Punch and move on, come back and MOAR CORN!!!

Great for corn. But not so great for any of the flowers, aloe, potatoes, etc, as you have to pretty much stare are where the seed would be to harvest the plant. The double swing isn't helping matters.

Or we can just let them fix the double swing bug. :)
