This is the way

Thank you so much!

with the 1.6 update I messed up the curren 1.5 version of the mod. It should be fixed now

same as askan and shroom, even level 20 can't harvest honey

I can report that I am experiencing the exact same error as Askan Helstroem.

oh and I can't harvest the honey either, it seems.
The pawn who tried it had 8 points in the animal skill, tried it 7 times, before started to haul different stuff.

hej...eh...how do I make the mead?
I have the barrels, I have the brewery...
But there is no option to make mead

just bee urself :)

Anybody test it with plants/trees added by other mods? I also curious if plants like rice or potatoes also counts, potato honey would be interesting product...

This Mod IS NOT incompatible with the Mods that it says conflict with itself. I know this because I have run MANY bee Mods at the same time without issue.

Thanks for confirming - was a frustrating day or two figuring that out! =P

Yes indeed, it needs animals skill 5 or higher.. probably it should mention that somewhere.

I think I've found the problem - does the colonist need to have a certain animal skill level before they can extract honey?

Thanks for the reply.

Aye I reckon it's a conflict. Will continue to test and if I identify it I'll let you know!

Can you see any red errors appearing? Earlier this month I tested the mod (just vanilla Rimworld and this mod) and everything seemed to work fine, it might be a conflict with some other mod.

It seems that I am unable to harvest honey, even when there is honey in the hive. After I click "force harvest" no option for a pawn to harvest occurs, nor do they do it automatically.

Tried autosetting the Hive to full honey to test; same problem. Any ideas what's causing the issue?

does the mead barrel work automatically (auto load?) because I am used to barrels where I have to use an "insert must" option to get it started...

so just an fyi, but it takes longer than a week in real life to make mead. With real practices it takes up to a month at minimum.

I came from the same Chinese translation. Nice looking mod, and, as an amateur beekeeper, I'm definitely gonna try it!

@Adamas I was perusing the releases and came across a Chinese localization that pointed toward this mod. I make my own mead irl so this naturally peaked my interests.

Just out of curiosity, was this mod mentioned somewhere, since there is a sudden spike in downloads and comments? :)

discovering this made my day. mead and honey are amazing irl.

@Pejman

If I am known on "Rimworld" as the "honey man" instead of the "guy that Oskar, the Biomes Team, and Toast hates who got banned form the official RW chat room", I've won.

Mod about honey

Of course turtleshroom is lurking here xD

I'm going to leave this message to both sides.

I use 'Bees' https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3090186019&searchtext=bee and 'Apini Race' https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3219632807&searchtext= . The plants of Apini Race don't count as plants for the honey making of 'Bees'.

I was taught to add prefixes to everything precisely to prevent this problem. Using the exact same Thing Defs and Textures without prefixes is considered a crime against the community precisely because it causes issues like this.

Mind you, I don't think Oskar is a bad man or a bad Mod maker. Not in the slightest.

Thanks Oskar.

Great mod @Adamas! Interesting approach to how honey is made, I quite like the depth you have in your mod.

'Oskar hates compatibility' - I'm sorry that I called my mead mead and my honey honey. I should have called them Turtle and Shroom I guess.

Thank you

@TurtleShroom thanks for the reports. I fixed both issues :)

It worked. When my plants got big enough, the Beehive started producing honey. I still can't place it inside without removing the roof and then placing it back, though.

Also, please change the file path to your Honey and Mead Sprites. Both of them overwrite several Vanilla Expanded instances, because Oskar hates compatibility and undercuts people regularly with crap like that.

@TurtleShroom "If there are enough mature plants (growth>50%)"
I did test it indoors, so I am not sure what disallows it in your game. Maybe the mod is on an older version

How do I attract bees? I placed my Beehive down and planted crops all around it in Hydroponic Farms. Do I need to wait for the plants to grow, or does it only accept flowers? The Vanilla Factions Expanded Viking Mod's worthless Beehive only works on its specific flowers, making it worse than useless. Does this apply here, too?

I tried placing my Beehive indoors, but it said that such an action is not permissible. My base is on a VERY cold Map, and it does not get warm enough to put a Beehive outdoors. I tried placing it indoors, and it wouldn't let me. If I removed the roof, though, I could do it.

Your Mod has been incorporated: https://www.steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3090186019 !

THANK YOU DOCTOR BEES!!

Can we paint them?

I'll let you know when the update for your Mod is incorporated.

@TurtleShroom that would be great, thanks!

Welcome to the honey team! Doctor Bees salutes you!

I made a honey integration Mod and would be honored to include your work in future updates!

I added a screenshot from one of my dev sessions (that I also posted in my discord dev blog) in the preview image at the top.
It shows the beehive and its infopanel. The beehive is the typical langstroth design. It has two boxes, on my wishlist is the idea to have the image change as the hive grows from one box to three boxes. You can not rotate the hive btw, but there is no point in rotating it anyway, it has no fixed interaction spot.
The mead fermenting barrel is currently just the same graphic as the vanilla beer barrel. Once I have that one fixed, I also remove the early access tag and make the preview image and mod description nicer.

Some pics?

interesting re-take of the idea! -- Resource Dictionary mod could possibly help with some of the material crossover? Or maybe have your own unique "honey" item so that other bee-related systems can just ignore each other?

It makes perfect sense to keep bees in greenhouses. I expect it to work for temperature already. I will for sure add support for it. Thanks for the suggestion.

I know it mentions the weather, but will it work in green houses? Asking as an ice sheet player and knowing nothing about bee keeping
