Smeeslug Posted September 5, 2022 Report Share Posted September 5, 2022 I think flowers within a largish radius of a beehive or skep should spread naturally and perhaps drop wild seeds on picking. Seeing flowers in an early growth stage would also be a handy natural indicator that there is a beehive to look for! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davis Posted September 22, 2022 Report Share Posted September 22, 2022 Really a great idea and something I hope gets added. Grass also should spread naturally. I feel this will be something that happens once Tyron starts working on Alchemy or something a long those lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maelstrom Posted September 22, 2022 Report Share Posted September 22, 2022 Given Lovecraft's fiction didn't have alchemy or magic, don't count on either being included in the game. Roadmap has no mention of alchemy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roadmap has no mention of alchemy. Alchemy was a poor choice of words, I was more referring to brewing etc, making tea or whatever. Herbalism-type stuff etc. Tbh I hope potions never get put into the base game if I'm honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maelstrom Posted September 23, 2022 Report Share Posted September 23, 2022 Fair 'nuff. I am not worried about potions or even alchemy for the reasons I stated. Tyron and team seem to have an extremely good grasp of Lovecraft's story telling and are doing an exceedingly good job of representing Lovecraft in game. I expect to see science and technology based game content coming up in the 1.18 update. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roadmap has no mention of alchemy. If recall correctly some of them did. It's been over a decade since someone stole my barns and noble hp lovecraft omnibus, so it will be a while before i get back with the name of the story. I have various works of his lying around the house, probably in the basement library. That aside, i would like to see some passive benefits to skeps and bees, like if the crops flower then the skeps get a benefit, and the crops get a benefit as well. Planting flowers would be nice too, as some mods add flowers in that are used in bandage recipes and i appreciate those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maelstrom Posted October 7, 2022 Report Share Posted October 7, 2022 I'm working my way through a 750 page omnibus I picked up at Costco. Lovely embossed hardcover book with an attached ribbon for bookmark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roadmap has no mention of alchemy. Given that Vintage Story is not, in fact, under any obligation to replicate Lovecraft's fiction(It's advertised as having Lovecraft-derived *themes*, specifically), and given that the game *already includes* reference to alchemy(The Prima Materia), while you may or may not be correct about it not being included, I don't think it would be for those reasons. I do, that said, absolutely agree that the presence of bees should have a benefit for farming. I'd implement it as a bonus for crop yield for plants within range of a skep.

AngryRob Posted October 10, 2022 Report Share Posted October 10, 2022 You know, what would be neat would be a "temporal rage flower" that causes bees to rage during a storm, and a bee keeper armor, that prevents bee attacks. now THAT would be a fun base defense.
