Wonder if there'll ever be a way to lock specific plots out of getting pickaxe'd.

I can see why they didn't have it from the start, most people would probably lock everything out but the genes and get those in circulation faster than intended, but since each plot is repeatable, it's theoretically possible to never hit the good stuff with anything but magnifying glasses, while just repeating clothing trunk plots (or the vista, really) over and over again.

So maybe a compromise could be that after you complete a plot once, then you have the option to lock it.
