All info about the new stuff:
- Bees, Langstroth Beehives, and the 18 new types of Honey
- there is a new Animal Home, the Langstroth Beehive (yes, we listened to your feedback about the Bee Skeps being somewhat unfit). You get 3 Langstroth Beehives for this Event, that you get to keep if you complete the Honey Contest.
- as the story goes, when you move the Bees from the Bee Skep to a Langstroth Beehive, they have more room, and, with the aid of the Floral Essence Vial (the special ingredient), they learn the scent of 18 NEW flowers, that they can pollinate and get nectar from.
- Langstroth Beehives are animal homes, and they arrive empty. You need to transfer the Bees from a Bee Skep to them. To do so, just click on the Beehives, and you will be guided automatically. It’s advisable to add Starline Bees in them. You can transfer Bees between Beehives and Bee Skeps very easy, so don’t worry about adding regular Bees by mistake.
- If you don’t complete the Contest, the Bees will go back to the regular Bee Skeps, and the Langstroth Beehives will be removed, at the end of the Event.
- Langstroth Beehives are very customizable, so you can customize each one to your liking (coming soon).
- due to how easy it is to make Honey for recipes due to all 18 new honey types, you could say the Langstroth Beehives are a secondary main prize, of equal value or even bigger than the Pheasant, gameplay-wise.
- Clover doesn’t require Floral Essence Vials to make, because they already know the Clover. Clover Honey can be made both by Bee Skeps and Langstroth Beehives.
- the Bee Skeps work just as before, making Clover Honey. They cannot make the new honey.
- there is an element of skill/strategy in making a certain type of honey, for 3 reasons:
- because the Bees now have a limited range, and go only to the pollinable plants in that range. To see the range, hover over a Langstroth Beehive for 2 seconds. This can work in your advantage, if you strategically place your Langstroth Beehives next to the plants you want the Bees to pollinate/get nectar from.
- because if you need honey from a plant with the pollinable stage that is not the final stage, you either must wait for the plant to reach that pollinable stage, or use Weak Fertilizer, that grows a plant stage by stage. Weak Fertilizer can be obtained from Daily Rewards (new!), or bought from the Specials tab in the Shop.
- because if the Bees come home with 3 or more other types of nectar than from the plant you’re trying to make Honey from, it will turn into Polyfloral Honey. So, to make Polyfloral Honey for the Contest, make sure you screw it up, and make the Bees pollinate and get nectar from multiple plants.
- Why the new Honey
- Advantages:
- it solves multiple issues, first by is taking pressure off the Clover > Cow > Milk > Cheese chain, by both:
- making the Goats eat Alfalfa instead of Clover.
- using other types of Honey for your Recipes, by allowing to transform any type of Honey into an opened honey jar (Honey Portions), in increasing price order, with the new portions system. (feature coming soon, right now they’re using only the Clover Honey).
- further pressure is relieved from the Clover pollination chain, by making some recipes use Sugar instead of Honey.
- 20x less OP (for now), because the Beehives use OP only when they pick up the Honey. This event happens now 20 times less.
- it solves multiple issues, first by is taking pressure off the Clover > Cow > Milk > Cheese chain, by both:
- this allows a jar of Honey to feel much more precious and hard to obtain, even if, with the new Honey portions, right now it’s the same as before, without you having to do anything.
- Advantages:
We know it sounds really complicated and there are a lot of words in this News update, but, once you get to make the new Honey, you’ll see it’s much easier and fun than before, and less repetitive, always having to pollinate the Clover.
- Beekeeper’s Stall and the 2 new Honey Collections
- the new Beekeeper’s Stall can make 2 collections of Honey:
- Regular Honey Collection, a wooden box with 12 honey jars. This collection is low level, doesn’t require plants bought with RC, is accessible to everybody to make, and it is the only one required to complete the Contest and keep the Langstroth Beehives and Beekeeper’s Stall forever.
- Premium Honey Collection – this is a wooden box with 18 honey jars, includes plants bought with RC and high-level plants. By having multiple types of Honey, you have multiple possibilities to never run out of Honey for your recipes.
- the new Beekeeper’s Stall can make 2 collections of Honey:
Other new additional things for this Halloween:
- new Gear: Sugar Mill
- the Sugar Mill transforms Sugar beets into nice crystals of Sugar.
- new Crops: Sugar Beets, Alfalfa
- Alfalfa counts for the Clover Achievement.
- Sugar Beets counts for the Beets Achievement.
- new portions system for Sugar and Honey, similar to the uses for the OxyPropane tank.
- you can see how much portions of Honey, Sugar or OxyPropane you have by going to Warehouse > Other.
- example: right now, a jar of Clover Honey takes the Bees 20 trips to the Clover to make, and if opened, has 20 Honey Portions. It also cost 20 times more, so essentially it’s the same.
- when the opened jar of Honey is empty, a new one will be opened automatically, so you don’t have to do anything.
- why the new portions system for Honey:
- this allows us to be way more flexible with the Recipes. Right now they’re the same as before, but this way, we can combine odds and even quantities: example: a jar of Chestnut Honey could be made from 17 nectar, and a Recipe could require 3 Honey Portions.
- just as in real life, when you make a recipe, you don’t use a whole jar of Honey or Sugar, just a few spoons.
- the Honey you made up to this update is now deprecated.
- in order to keep all the Honey that you’ve worked for, we transform it into the new Clover Honey, and the total Honey Portions are equal or more to what you had before.
- all Recipes that were made with Honey are now made either with the new Honey (that you turn into Honey Portions by “opening” the jar), or with Sugar, same as in real life. For example, Jams are now made with Sugar Portions, as in real life, and Lemonades are made with Honey.
- the Goats now eat Alfalfa instead of Clover.
- new filtering submenus, some at your request:
- Barn: Gear > Candles, Gear > Sauces Animal Products > Honey.
- Shop > Seeds > Pollinable, Shop > Trees > Pollinable, so you can easily see what plants are pollinable in order to make your Honey.
Please keep in mind that the new Honey and Bees feature is in BETA, and we might adjust them according to your feedback and use.
Happy Halloween, and good luck with the Event!
