Traders have got fussy with Honey Trade bowl types in v1.21.0.

[Professor Dragon]

Not sure if I should be posting a new thread for clarity, or tagging this onto the main v1.21.0 thread. There's bound to be a number of quibbles with the new update, so advice on best place to post this welcome.

ISSUE

Honey Trade now requires specific clay types. Recommend that any clay type be accepted for the bowl. It is the honey that is important, not the bowl.

DETAILS

After years of regular trading honey in bowls for gears, my main dude Axe, Survival Goods Supplier has taken a liking to the fancy life, and now wants his honey only in a "Cream ceramic bowl" rather than in the regular pit fired black bowls I've always provided.

You can't even move the bowls to the trade window. 

My dude can't even bear to look at me, such is his chagrin that I'd even suggest such a trade!

 

BONUS POINTS

• Let us sell a bucket of honey at a time, maybe.
• Can we get the used bowls back sometime??? Buyback deposit scheme?

The honey trade is a bit fiddly, with the crafting of bowls, cost of skep maintenance, transporting of buckets of honey, then splitting out to bowls. Some streamlining could help.

Thanks, Professor Dragon.

Huh. Finally a good reason to build the beehive.

I did notice that. If nothing else, you could have it default to the dark brown bowls, since those you can get easily enough by simple pit fired pottery. For offerings that require pottery fired via beehive kiln, the traders could pay a bit more. That way, there's still an early game way to make some profit, but later game items hold a bit more value as well.

I like this proposal.
