I can mine and harvest a node with 40 other people. Well see our own nodes and we can only farm from our own instance. However it's kind of an issue when you try to garden in a FC for the first time for a minion only to find out after the fact you cant harvest your own crops.

I can understand settings to keep people from steeling the hard work of others. But if we can gather from our own nodes why can't we harvest our own plats we planted? By Default? I can see a FC giving some people the ability to harvest anyone's plants in the event they cant log on. Why cant it be set to have anyone tend and fertilize the garden but not harvest unless they either planted or are authorized to do so for others.

With time zone differences, why can't we send messages to other FC members with those access rights to harvest for us if we cant log on etc.? Especially if they are not yet in our friend list or are offline due to being 4 ~ 6 hours ahead or behind.

A little bit of a vent. I don't know if these were asked before but.. Damn at least give us a warning message saying that we can't harvest before we waste the time and gill planting things in the FC garden. Just my 2 cents.
