To the mod author, please don't take this as a major complaint partly my own thought for not taking the notes more seriously. And, I agree, this is much more useful for PVP. :Dīut, I appreciate your research and sharing of info on this. Keeping bees that are just going to kill you.not so much. Partly for efficiency and partly for aesthetics having a beehive(and in theory bees) in the place where I am growing stuff seems like a good idea. I was hoping I would be able to put this in my green house on top of my keep, and get rid of the small one take up space just outside of the keep. I just don't see it at this time outside of operating a massive desert base. Then on top of that you have to block off a 5x5x4 section of your base (possibly in multiple parts depending on the size) as well on top of that cost. The 50 black pearl cost implies you'd (realistically) need to be at least 60+ for a Basilosaur (to go Squid hunting) which is 19 levels after the metal water tank scenario. Over all the kill effect on the bees is, simply put, too much for what it adds and costs. Unfortuantely Honey is kinda pointless since luring dinos isn't hard, using it to avoid Leeds is impractical, and for Fishing it's near impossible (even with scripts) to catch fish over 3.0x anyways. I mean when you get down to it, since rain is consistent enough on The Island for water tanks to handle just about any crop plot scenario, the only scenario the watering is really good for is scorched earth (where the bees don't spawn).īase honey production is still superior in a normal Hive (my base hives have around 200+ honey in them and still have over 700 rare flowers in each one) since it won't kill you. Yes the only real use for it basically for watering plants which, in itself, is a very situational. Had to kill my character to undo all of the effects, even god, infinitestats, and leavemealone would not undo the damage. Thought I would be able to use if for something good, but just caused me a big mess. Originally posted by Jerryn:Wish I had read this first. Just make sure to wall off your hive and throw a full inventory of Rare Flowers to let it run basically forever. Like I could see setting up a field of Species X plants near the Scar that you could just drag Wyverns into without having to worry about watering and with the new Farmer would be very easy to setup a fertilizer distribution system. When it refills water it refills it to full instantly.īiggest use I can see for this is to have a base not near water, and especially of use on a map like Scorched Earth. The Radius on watering crop plots is around 20-30 tiles out. It periodically water nearby crop plots regardless if they are empty, full or otherwise. It will water things without line of sight. You can tell if they will water or not by them buzzing around the hive or not. It will only water crops if there are rare flowers in the hive. You can however use a demo gun to pick it up while damaged (I did not test whether or not putting rare flowers in after the fact would heal or not like a regular hive). If the hive is damaged you can't pick it up. If the beehive is destroyed you do not get your giant bee or hive back. This is not tied to honey production like the normal beehive. The beehive periodically takes 500 damage if there are no rare flowers on it. If you move in/out of the radius you will get multiple debuffs to die faster. When you get stung it dismounts you and you get knocked out/die if riding a dino. The beehive will not kill any dinos you are riding if they get too close. To be safe you would want to build a 5x5x4 area with the beehive in the middle to avoid taking lethal damage. The lethal radius is little over 1 tile out. This gives it immense potential for base defenses for people who are unaware of it's presence to just suddenly get killed through the walls if they get too close (especially below sections of a base). The debuff is not affected by line of sight so having it inside a 1x1x2 box won't stop it from killing you if you get too close. Decided to test some things out with the new Bee Hive recipe.
