Amazing mod
The devs did an outstanding job with this one ;) The textures look good and I like the additional life in my world. It would be nice to explain a bit more how to use the mod in the descriptions.
bzzz bzzz!
Proud :d of myself for figuring out that the smoker is left-clicked on the hive and the extractor is placed, but still have questions. What can you do wth a wild honeycomb other than eat it, that is, shouldn't it be craftable into honey? And, the beeswax could be used to make Ethereal's candles, but apparently not? Does it have other uses somewhere?
Nice but...
It's got good realism but the stinker is the final piece needed to make honey: The extractor/centrifuge. Costs two mese crystals which might not be much on some servers but on others it is hard to come by. On those servers 2 mese crystals are not even close to being worth investing in some honey...
Dudes... honey is only food. Easier to grow wheat.
My suggestion is to change it to something reasonable like tin ingots or even just coal. Deep mining should not be a prerequisite for making honey. Or forget tin/coal, make it something like wood.
<rant on> Centrifuge??? How did apiarists extract honey back in the year 4000 BC? Not with a piece of high tech machinery I'll tell you. The extractor might need to be totally overhauled or eliminated. Just a bad choice. I was expecting to take the filled frame and put it in my craft grid and get honey. When I learned I need a machine that costs 2 mese I was understandably irritated. <rant off>honey
this was nice to play with for a while but a lot of work to make honey, we prefer the beehive in mobs_animal.
