You can’t steal something that’s not legitimately your property. IP isn’t a justified legal concept, it’s a form of illegitimate regulation used by corporations to cement monopolies and threaten the competition with legistlation
How do tangible property rights differ?

There's a difference between ressources and IP.
Not for cultured saplings. A plant growing in the forest is a resource, a carefully bred strain cultured over hundreds or thousands of years is nationalized IP.
Is that just your opinion, or is there an internationally accepted legal framework around that? Could you perhaps post a link where I might learn more?

The gun turrets on the roof that keep away the roaming marauders need to be self sustaining too.
Maybe lasers then?
For long-term defense systems, I'd try to go as low-tech as possible. Every bit of technology of the past 300 years is tied to a rather large manufacturing & supply chain. If your turret has μC in it, where will you get a new one if the marauders happen to score a lucky shot?

Have you ever watched Biodome?
Movies from 1972 vs 1996? I'll take the ecological classic that is a bit more in line with the OC's post. Silent Running was very much an ecological and social statement about humanity and the Earth. I cried when Lewie was gone, and felt bad for Dewey.
