Pollen: The Multitude

Description
PLEASE NOTE:
I no longer play Don't Starve Together.
It is extremely unlikely that I will ever update this mod.
- Bee

Traits:

TRAIT
DESCRIPTION
Affected by the seasons
In the spring, Pollen hits hard, runs fast, and has higher health/sanity/hunger stats. As the seasons progress, all of these features wear down. During the winter she deals no damage at all. She also changes color with the seasons.
Has a swarm of killer bees to defend her.
When Pollen is attacked, a swarm of killer bees will appear in her defense. These are just regular bees, and as such will have no qualms against attacking other nearby mobs and players.
All bees are allied to her and all followers.
Bees will not attack Pollen and she cannot attack them. Even then, she is immune to their stings. Bees will also be entirely passive towards all companions and any pigs or players who wear a Bumble Hat.
Bee Flowers Hat
These hats can only be crafted by Pollen, but she can hand them out to all her friends. They're indestructable and will provide the wearer with absolute immunity against any bees - save for the queen. The recipe for them appears in the dress tab without the need of research.
Bright Bee Flowers Hat
Shamelessly overpowered and automatically toggled off in the settings, this Bee Flowers functions the same as the regular Bee Flowers, while also providing light, waterproofness, insulation, and sanity. Use at your own discretion.
Stinger Traps
Functioning exactly the same as a tooth trap, but using stingers instead of teeth, these may be found under the fight tab with an alchemy engine.
Haz fully cuztom dialogue.
Pollen will keep a running commentary that'z all her own.
Restricted diet.
Pollen doesn't eat meat... unless it's honeyed, of course, then she can't resist. She can also eat beeswax and honeycomb and gains a 1.5% increase on honey food items.
Knows how to build beeboxes without any research
Pollen already knows how to build beeboxes and starts with the supplies to build two.
Nectar (DISABLED)
Nectar is a grumblebee who will follow Pollen around. He's is entirely just for the cuteness factor. He cannot fight. NOTICE: Nectar has been disabled until further notice due to client side crashes.

This character looks promising, i would make Nectar have an inventory, like chester (3x2) and also it could attack and aid Pollen in combat, looks like winter its a death sentence to her.

Accept the "Jelly Salad" food to eat, as he uses 2 honey in the recipe, thanks! x3

@Greenpakto Ah, thanks for the tip. I should have some time to take a stab at it over the weekend. ouo b

Mind updating this for the new patch that Klei released? You can take a look at what "Goat Slice" did with his "Reign of Runts" mod for guidance, since he is the only ne who has updated their character mod so far.
Favourite food, new strings on character select and so on?

Looking forward to it @Bee. I hope for the best!
Bee  [author] 23 Apr, 2020 @ 1:52pm 
@Greenpakto Yeah, and I've considered it and still might end up doing that later. It'll just require making a second bee prefab so that they're identified differently. Pollen was my first mod and is definitely need of a serious rewrite, but oof, the time I put into these is no small thing. :'D

Yea, I guessed that's way why it was removed. Is there anyway to make the "spawned" bees to ONLY be untargetable (but not other bees)? They could still look like killer bees and such.

PS: I love how this character looks :)

@Greenparko You end up with quite a surplus of stingers just through regular combat, as the bees that protect her continuously die. The stinger traps were added as a means to put the excess stingers to use, and the combat against bees was removed because it made targeting the correct enemy nigh impossible otherwise.

She cant attack bees? That's counterproductive for her stinger trap. Not being able to farm and kill bees for their stingers properly, not good.
