Is there much point of swapping between weapons and tools when gathering resources when you have to hold E to gather rather than using mouse buttons? It feels pointless doing it this way.

Think it makes more sense to either gather resources while holding E and not change current equipped weapon (Character can put weapon on their back while gathering and then put tool away and grab weapon again once finished)

OR

Equip required tool to gather and use aiming and left mouse button to physically harvest.
