The shared farm key system for standard animated doors, hall gates, and fence gates in FS25 sounds like a great addition! It adds a new level of realism and management to the farming experience. The feature of locked gates/doors that cannot be opened adds a sense of security and ownership to the farm. It's also convenient that all players on the same farm share the same key, making it easier to coordinate access.

The requirement to be standing in the trigger to lock/unlock the gates or doors makes sense and adds a tactile element to the interaction. Ensuring that locking is only possible when the gate/door is fully closed is a good safety measure to prevent accidental locking.

The default key bindings, Alt + E for keyboard and Square for controller, provide a straightforward and intuitive way to interact with the gates/doors. However, it's noted that the controller binding may not be fully reliable at the moment, which is a detail that can be addressed in future updates.

Overall, the shared farm key system is a valuable feature that enhances the gameplay experience by adding realism and interactivity to farm management in FS25.
