    So - the game has an internal cycle through which many actions take place - for example, how fast will you shoot from a weapon, or HOW TO FAST HARVEST (!)

    And here - when harvesting - THERE IS A PROBLEM (!)

    Option 1 - I am in heavy armor - I walk slowly, and when I harvest, I often press "F", then I ALWAYS COLLECT ALL BUSTS without skipping the bushes (!)

    Option 2 - I am in light armor - I run fast (yes - I am already RUNNING), and when I harvest, I press "F" with the same speed as in option 1 (!) - but at the same time the running speed is VERY FAST - and I often miss the bushes (they remain unharvested) (!)

    This is the problem (!)

    Therefore - it is necessary to IMPROVE the harvesting process (!)

    The easiest option is to PRESS "F" (hold down), and just walk / run forward through the garden (!)
    When the cursor moves to the next bush, the harvest will take place (!) ... and even in super-fast armor - this will allow you to completely harvest the crop without skipping the bushes (!)

    I have a similar problem when planting crops in minecraft. If I run I miss planting them in the occasional block.
    What I'm getting at is, I don't think this is a game problem. I just walk when planting crops as it's been programmed that way and sounds reasonable.

    Or as been mentioned quite a few times before, a NPC to do it.

    "This is a problem?" The complete food gameplay mechanic is to own a 3x3 of any random plant. THIS IS A PROBLEM!

    I may be mis-reading your post but you can make the size of your 'farm' whatever size you want. How much space you need all depends on what you want to make and how much of it.

    I think he wants to say it is "too easy" to get any food from just planting each plant...

    I play RE, there normal food is also obtainable by growing, but drugs need alien parts...
    still I feel harvesting food plants becomes repetitive and boring task fast.

    It seems - people DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE MEANING OF MY MAIN POST (? !!!)

    Read again CAREFULLY (!)
    The main suggestion is that the harvest ALWAYS HAPPENED when my character RUNS (at any speed), AND ALWAYS PRESS THE "F" KEY => then - when the cursor (crosshair) hits a new bush - automatic harvesting will take place (!!!!!)

    Because - now with a strong run - I have to press "F" VERY FAST to harvest .... but when my character RUNS VERY FAST - I very often "missed a bush", and such a bush remained UNCARGED (!)

    Since absence of realism does not seem to bother you regarding "harvesting" I suggest you simply improve this by yourself in a way that you will not have to run among plants to get all what you need. Just modify the plants you need in the BlocksConfig.ecf so 1 plant gives you 100 product :

    { Child DropOnHarvest
    Item: PhoenixFernFonds
    Count: 100 <<< change this to whatever you want

    }

    This way you don't have to run in gardens anymore, you don't have to wait for Eleon to make that fancy fix to the code, and you only need a handful of plants for all your needs. Save on space, time, and CapsLock posts. :)

    Не забывай, что мало кто из игроков играет в СОЛО (!)
    Многие играют в МУЛЬТИПЛЕЕР на серверах (!)

    Hold F to harvest crops instead of needing to press F on each individual plant.

    -OR-

    Add advanced hydroponics bays that allow you to harvest an entire 3x3 worth of crops with a single button press. Either or both would be a welcome quality of life improvement for larger farms.

    Whether or not you actually need the other plants is another matter.
