Just make leantos walkable through.

You can block scents by other ways as well.
But I agree that leanto is too easy to build.

leantos can be built cheaply and claimed forcing someone to leave vandal scents to get to a murder scent without requiring a claim over it. Sure, you could put a house or wall section there, but without a claim it's not much protection and doesn't force someone to leave scents to get to the other one.

I don't see it as as big an issue as the one just fixed since they are easy to break and who cares about vandal? Use a disposable alt.

Leantos seem to cause trouble wherever they are used.

But there is an effort involved that shouldnt be. Maybe the solution runs across making scents getable as soon as you can see them on screen.
This makes the same sense that building looms while running. Hopefully these abuses will be fixed sooner or later.

Don't get me wrong here. I'm not saying it shouldn't be fixed. I think a better fix would be to allow scent harvesting from the edge of the object built, no matter what it is. I imagine that would be more complex, though. From a programming perspective, it would require some inheriting of the properties of the scent to the building that sits on it. Upside to going this route would be any items that a player can't get to because of a bounding box would now be harvestable. That's easier said than done, though, I think.

Make them like hearthifres, walkable through. And all problems with them are solved. Or most of them.

Just make scents pick-able from certain distance unless on solid claim.
