Atm to plant a seed you need to open the menu with F, select the seed, click "Plant" and press ESC to exit the menu.
To harvest its about the same.
Please simplify it so its one click.
Minecraft does it...
Hey Keen,
I love the apex update but after several days I have found the interface of seeding plots a bit sloppy. Mainly the amount of time it takes. As I do understand the idea of not automating this I would like to make planting a bit less of a drag.
Who the possibility of making it so you can place seed packs on your toolbar and then plant said seed via pressing the number of the tool slot. You still have to have the seed pack in your inventory and you still have to physically plant to the plot, but this would make it a bit less clunky and more enjoyable!
Harvesting can be automated, I have 4 rows of 8 planters each row. 2 pistons and 4 collectors gather with ease. 2 timer blocks to extend and retract every 5 minutes for the various growth times.
I have no issue with the planting process.

One option to improve the farming aspect of SE is to add the seeds/spores as a tool, with the items as ammunition. That way planting can be done by just selecting the crop you want to plant in your hotbar and clicking the empty plots you want to plant in. It's more immersive than the UI too.
Harvesting should be as easy as harvesting the wild crops. Once fully grown, allow players to just click the crop to harvest them (perhaps with empty hands only). It should probably show the crop's health though as that's the only thing not otherwise visible when harvesting. (Plants still heal when fully grown and watered)
Uprooting crops should require the use of a hoe tool, unless the crop is already dead.

Wish it would be as simple as
1.PUT SEED IN TOOLBAR,
2.CLICK EMPTY PLANTER WITH SEED > SEED PLANTED
3. NEXT ONE
As for harvesting. SHIFT RIGHT CLICK or something = HARVESTING as long as you look at the "ground" part of the farming plot
