Now *that* is a solid point. Perhaps durability could be configurable, with setting it to -1 disabling it. Hmmm... I think waxed linen patches will be necessary for making the frames. Kind of a VS stand-in for the guides put in some frames to help bees make straight combs.

I'm with Godogma, really. I don't see any reason to add durability to the frames, except as a resource sink. By the time you're able to fill five supers with ten frames at a cost of one linen patch each, a resource sink is probably unnecessary.

I'm uncertain, though I know that sticks and flax are going to be involved. Possibly wax as well, as is done with many modern frames.

It's a legitimate strategy! Some more excerpts from todays labors. An open super with one frame An open super with one full frame An open super with ten empty frames An open super with ten full frames

Just a preview of the beginning steps of the Langstroth hives. The base upon which you'll build your hive An individual "super" or honey box, where your bees will make and store wax and honey A brood box, arguably the most important part of the hive The maximum height to which you'll be able to build your hive! These are just textured models, and there's a lot of logic that will have to go into making them do their trick. Currently the intent is that you'll have to build and separate your hive one piece at a time. The individual supers and the brood box will have to be carried in bag slots, while the base can go into your normal inventory. When accessing your hive you'll have to deconstruct it piece by piece to get to each of the honey boxes, and then restack them. For now, this is just being designed for immersion and my personal aesthetic tastes for interacting with the game. Now, back to work!

An Apiculture Mod By Aetherial Labs Author: Vinter_Nacht, Texture Artist: AnxietyPealope JSON Files Assist: Raccoon Translations: Macoto Hino <To Mod DB> Support Us Through Patreon! MOST HIVE COMPONENTS (BROOD BOX, SUPERS, BASES, CERAMIC HIVE BASES) MUST BE CARRIED IN A BAG SLOT. THEY WILL NOT GO INTO AN INVENTORY SLOT. From Golden Combs began as a simple project with the intent to learn how to code in C#, and to add a simple new type of hive to the world of Vintage Story. The first item introduced was a ceramic hive (then called the Claypot Hive) that didn't have to be destroyed to harvest its bounty. Having achieved that small goal, I set out to do something more ambitious. 1.3.4 saw the introduction of the Langstroth Hive. This hive has individual boxes known as superstructures (or supers, for short) and frames on which the bees build wax and store honey. Current Features (As of 1.3.4): - Clay forming recipes for honey pot and brood pot. - Ability to place colonies in the brood pot using a populated skep. - Repeatable harvest by emptying the honey pot with a knife, and returning it to the brood pot. - Movable brood pots, both with and without a bee colony - Langstroth Hives - Multi-box hives with high capacity (and improved output), available in millions* of color combinations! - Hive Components in 169 possible color combinations - Langstroth Superstructures (Known as Supers) -The base component of your hive - Langstroth Brood Boxes - Where your bees live! - Langstroth Bases - To keep your hive off the ground. - Frames for your bees in 16 possible color combinations - Frame Racks - Used for lining, harvesting, and repairing your bee frames * - Yes, millions. You can stack your individual hive parts in any order you want. To be a hive it must have a populated brood box at the top (Right click an empty brood box with a populated skep) a base at the bottom, and up to 4 supers stacked in between. Each individual part is available in up to 169 different color combinations, so the possible combinations are nearly endless! - Configuration Options - Duration for a hive to fill configurable by hive type. (skep, ceramic, and langstroth) - Change the height to which a hive can be stacked (default is 6 individual items. So up to two blocks high) - Change maximum and minimum yield when harvesting a frame - Change the durability of frames - Optionally display time until the hive produces more comb Coming Soon (?) - New Utility/Vanity Items - Honey Jar - New Bee Products - Propolis - Bee Bread - Pollen - Royal Jelly - New Hives - Layens Hives - Warre Hives - New color variants of Ceramic and Langstroth Hives - Bee species - Range of Temperature tolerances - Flower preferences - Attitudes (some are more defensive of their hive than others, even in domestic hives) - Different rates of production for honey/wax - Advanced hive maintenance - Hive temperature - Humidity - Population - Disease - Hive collapse - Swarming Mechanics - Pests (Wax moths, Hive Beetles, and Varroa Mites! Oh My!) - More Predators (Mice? Skunks? More?) - Version 1.18 Known Bugs (??)

Also... I don't know how possible this is... But could you include a tie-in that connects crop growth time (wild and otherwise) to the # of days in a month?

This is a much more appealing approach than "yay double ores!". I've never particularly liked that ''advancement" tree. There's not going to be any more metal in the ore, no matter how you process it. However, there could be resources you would lose in a straight-up smelting process. Do like. Yes do.

Can we get some additional configuration options? I'd like to be able to manage the amount of poop animals produce, and turn off the 'follow food in hand' option, specifically.

I launched this through Creative/Superflat and didn't get the config file. Did I miss something?

I hope this will be updating to 1.15.5 soon! In that version the fox has a flat muzzle and no tail I love it, and my wife absolutely adores it. Is there any way to allow a toggle so that both body types are available in the game? Either way, well done!
