I cant get bees

[DaGhostLevi]

I want a beehive, and i keep getting nothing by manipulating. You guys say its manipulating larva mutagen and fertilizer. I need help!

[DaGhostLevi]

I fgured it out, i thought it was dna manipulators, it was actually the incubators XD

[OldMan]

Ok.. need to make the Incubator first. Then put Uncommon Larva, Mutagen, Fertilizer into the incubator, hit RESEARCH and then Start Sequencing, then you can get EITHER bee larva or silkworm out (random which one). Need TWO bee larva, super alloy, black fertilizer, and Bio Nugget to make the hive.

If you get a silkworm instead of a bee larva you can get your materials back by putting it in the recycler.

wait what

Recyclers will break down ANYTHING into the components that went into making it. Have fun.

[aphthakid]

You can also break down the special butterfly larvae you find in the wild. Like if you have a ton of Futuras you can recycle them for mutagen, fertilizer and a rare larvae.

The recycler that I almost never used has become my new best friend. I keep getting silkworms. LOTS of silkworms. I just throw them in the recycler and try again til I get bees. :D

Basically, the recycler is actually a time machine, which can reverse time for anything you put into it.
Because FTL travel is the same as time machine, I guess.

Shouldn't silkworm and bees really have different 'recipes'?
Everything else I have found in the game does so why make bees and silkworms a random chance?

[cthultystka]

I made the recycler just to recycle silkworms.

Maybe the devs are trying something different?

It's the same with all the other insects in the incubator - all the recipes are random.
In some way, it's realistic that when you spill mutagen on random larvae, you don't know what is going to happen.

Have you asked Nic Cage? He seems to be a bee magnet.

True, but the logical conclusion to that could be argued to bee [sic] make all recipes the same and you get what the pseudorandom generator gives you.
I would just say that appearing to rely solely on luck at the point of 'creating' something feels a bit wrong. luck to get to that point, but when the point is reached predictability is what I would expect.
