Bees are a too simple mechanic

I don’t like to gather bees, queens and one time use them to get/produce honey. In Minecraft, Vintage story and Hytale it is possible to have a more sophisticated mechanic.

Honey is relative unimportant for the game only for met and food as I know. Other uses are medical products and bandage.In medieval, it was also used as currency. This could rise the need for having a constant production of honey.

Additionally I would like to have different bees for different climate places, best different bees that are more efficient, like I need to collect thrall with different levels and search for a different spawn.

Content request:

  • Medical/Bandage basic use of honey
  • Possible currency of honey
  • Climate bees
  • Variation of bees like Thrall search

I think this is a doable thing, thanks.

A lot of the game mechanics have been simplified quite a bit over time, and it’s true that many aspects of the game are now more of an RP element or a minor detail.

Personally, I haven’t needed bees for years.

More recipes and such wouldn’t hurt, and even Funcom could probably implement this without causing too much trouble.

My tip is, if you are playing SP or online private, to make the game much harder so that these things matter. You and your thralls need all the buffs that you can get. It isn’t perfect, but at least it makes some stuff more useful.

Uhm, just to be sure: You know you don’t have to gather bees, right? Bee hives produce honey just by themselves. Bees and queens only increase the speed at which honey is produced.

This makes it worse, in my opinion. I wish you had to stock the hive with bees which would slowly run out over time and need to be replenished.

Don’t forget “Killer Bees”.
