Harvest Toggles

[x] Product
[x] Seeds
[x] Offhand

Just like that. Self Explanatory, no?

...

I can't be the first to think how awful harvesting is because we can't toggle this. Do you pick up seeds [] or [x]? DO you pick up Product [] or [x]? Do items do into the offhand when you harvest [] or [x]?

I should think it would be most convenient to have a little window of checkboxes but if you REALLY wanted to work into the current godawful ui scheme them you could make a button that rotates through the various configurations of the three options.

I think I get most of it... e.g. when harvesting wheat, do you want to pick up the seeds or the straw... or hemp, the seeds or the fibers, or both and whatever is not selected drops to the ground, correct?

I don't understand the off-hand selection though.

Offhand itself could be it's own universal toggle and seeds/product combo could be one toggle that cycles through 4 configurations.

There's quite a few other things that could go nicely into that window.

I have to agree the terse nature of the original post was a bit hard to understand, especially calling the cursor the 'off'hand (I always refer to that as in-hand). Other than that, this is an excellent idea.

Especially making the in-hand/offhand thing universal.

I like the idea. I didn't find it hard to work out what he was saying, off hand did give me slight pause, but as soon as you have context of harvesting it's pretty easy to derive what he meant.
