how do i get combs for new boxes?

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!

@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.

@Bee
I only really noticed because whenever I play as her, I tend to base in the killer bee biome.

@Bee
Oh,the bug seems like disappear after the update..
Anyway, thx

@Bee
How can I send the photo to you?

I'm just surprised it hasn't come up before. I've played Pollen pretty extensively and have never seen this. ^^;;

@Compass
Sorry, I meant should *not* be happening. :'D I believe it's because I accidentally left in "MakeSmallPropagator(inst)" when I copied some code from flower.lua

@Bee
If its supposed to be happening may I inquire what's causing it?

@Compass
Thanks for the report. That definitely should be happening. I tightened up the script for the hat so it more closely resembles its blue counterpart. Please let me know if the problem persists.

@Bee
Sounds delightful, also for some reason bright bumble hats are spawning in the killer bee biome, I've obtained about of of them. Any specific reason this might be happening?

@Connell Leung<3
Hmm, that is very strange. I have not been able to recreate this problem so I have no idea what could be causing it for you. :c

I haven"t get hit and spawn the killer bee before I reopen the server.

It can spawn the killer bees when I get hit.However,it can"t when I reopen the server.

@Connell Leung<3
The killer bees aren't summoned. They spawn when Pollen is attacked. She is essentially a walking beehive. If they are not spawning on a hit, it is probably because you left the area they last spawned before they could return to Pollen. New bees aren't produced as long as the old ones are still alive.

The recipe for Nectar's stinger is in the Magic tab. It requires a single bee stinger and no research. As he is of low cost and benefit to the player, I don't feel it is worth the effort to re-code him to spawn in automatically. ^^;; Sorry.

It can"t summon the killer bees and the Nectar is disappear when I reopen the server.

@Compass
Yeah, I'm reaching the end of my to-do list... just have one more character to finish up and then I'll probably shift my focus to transferring at least Pollen and Wort to DSA.

It's a shame this doesn't have a Don't Starve version, I'd love to play as her in Hamlet

@That'sTHEstuff
Yes. She has higher health/hunger/sanity, hits harder, and runs faster in the spring. Everything is downhill for her from there and she hits bottom in the winter.

is the damage also better in spring?

@That'sTHEstuff
Uhhhh, sorry about that. Everything just kinda went to hell for a sec but is fixed now.

Basically she just won't eat meat unless it's honeyed (honeynuggets, honeyham) and will now eat honeycomb and beeswax. I meant to have custom values for all things honey/flower related, but botched that real bad and will have to revisit it again later.

Sorry again for any inconvenience. I didn't meant to take away her ability to eat honey. I had one job. *facepalm*

hey what is that custom diet?

@dillonisepic
I'm not sure what you mean, but Pollen is a character we created for this mod and is not from anything else.

ok im dumb

o k what is the charater he is i have been looking for it

@Quench @Gameatronic9000
I know it's been a while, but I wanted to thank both of you for your comments. Life hit me pretty hard and I wasn't in a good place when either of you first posted them, but coming back to this comment section again this year I was able to re-read what you said and it really helped put the wind back in my sails. So thank you. It's largely because of you that I picked this project up again.

@xSpekkien
I've added configuration options so you can adjust the size of her swarm.

@Bee I was playing with this mod and really like the idea and feeling behind the character. Only problem I have, is that the releasing of bee's when being attacked is VERY op. I suggest you create some sort of cooldown, or make it so the bees that died in combat have to respawn in an x amount of hours.

@Isaac Hipkiss Dnt forget WORT

Best paired with webber.

wow, awsome design, neat idea, and fun execution.
realy unique how the base stats are dependant on the seasons, instead of some factor the player can control. also having bee boxes is great to start out.
i love the fact that your going to make custom lines for the character, because that lets players learn about the personality of the character, and shows that you are dedicated to making a quality mod.

overall, good job. will enjoy playing as this character.

Ok

I love this MOD, thank you so much for Pollen, my favorite part about the game has been farming the Bees, and Pollen just makes that more fun. I noticed that if I stand to close to a camp fire for too long that I will eventually catch on fire. In summer does Pollen sometimes randomly smoulder and catch flame?

Pollen is well-designed and imaginative. I don't agree that her strengths vs. weaknesses are imbalanced; it's fine to have a character whose traits (good and bad) are extreme. She's definitely playable in Winter, you just need to alter your playstyle a little if you're choosing to play Pollen. I run between 58 and 60 mods at any given time, and Pollen creates zero conflicts, errors, or compatibility issues: that alone is a feat in and of itself. Please keep your creativity targeted at DST, you're an asset to the modding community. Well done.

how much damage does she do in each season?

THANKS SO MUCH!! YAY!!

IMO the character's strengths are too strong, and its weaknesses too weak. I've made some changes to the mod for personal use, thought I'd let you know:

I toned the character down. Readded winter attack, removed walk speed boost, boosted stats up in general to be like a less extreme seasonal wolfgang, removed all bumble hat recipes, no starting inventory items. Added innate bee hat.

Yes is FANTASTIC , i want try this mod!

Wtf is fastantic

Harvesting the Bee Box without bumble hat as Pollen makes the bees inside attack. Is this intentional?

@利维坦Leviathan
They appear and attack when Pollen gets hit by anything, but they don't follow. Sorry for the confusion.

but I do have a question: how to make those bees follow you?

soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo cute:)
