List of bugs i've encountered during my playthrough and the work arounds i've found
Hey everyone, here is an exhaustive list of the bugs (not bees sadly) that i've found and what you can do to solve them/avoid them. Hope this helps at least someone.

- NPC dialog option selection not working anymore / random option selected when clicked -> restart the game
- Jukebox or gramaphone not playing music disks and instantly switching to the next one over and over -> restart the game
- Map not displaying locations correctly and instead displaying a glitched mess with NPC faces on top -> restart the game
- Teleport points outside of the teleportation window for non conventionnal areas -> they're still usable so no big deal
- Machines not updating the liquid amounts in them and not starting working even though they have -> place / unplace a canister in the machine slot
- Machine thinking their output slot is full when it's empty and not starting working -> click on the output slot
- Canisters having "ghost" liquid in them that you can't place in anything -> add more of that liquid to the canister
- Flowers and Repopulated Beehives spawning where they shouldn't -> just be aware that flowers can spawn behind hives, so if you're not finding that pesky flower that's spreading everywhere it's probably behind a hive. Land flowers can also spawn on water and vis versa which can be handy i guess ?
- Breaking a hive with a hammer doesn't break the block but still gives you the item -> restart the game, you keep the duplicated item but the hive is breakable again
- You can't see recessive gens for snow-lover and rain-lover traits -> deal with it :( as far as i know there is no way to see them (even in the microscope), this is also why you can have bees not stack together in the bee box despite having identical traits
- Can't move not fully grown honeycore crystals -> wait for it to grow, you'll be able to hammer it again

Some extra tips for those that read this far :
- You can press Q to quickstack to nearby chest all items in your inventory
- You can move NPC with the hammer
- There is no way to handle plopper and hopper priority but you can use their max range to prevent a hopper from putting items in a certain crate
- you can move the initial Hivemother gates with a hammer (even before being able to buy extras from the merchant), same for hivemother altars

Thanks for all of this! Have moved to general just cos there's some generally useful stuff in here :D
Couple of questions on some of the bugs mentioned if you have the time!

- "NPC dialog option selection not working anymore" => should be fixed in latest patch now (4.1.4)
- "Jukebox or gramaphone not playing music disks and instantly switching" => have you got any replication steps for this one? i saw someone show this in discord but didn't find out how they got it to happen
- "Machines not updating the liquid amounts in them" => I fixed a couple of machines doing this in last patch, do you know specifically which ones had this happen for you?
- "Canisters having 'ghost' liquid" => this was a bug from an early 4.X version, but since one of the patches you shouldn't be able to get any 'new' ghost liquid, however old canisters or machines with ghost liquid will cause stuff to get glitched again - were you able to make new ghost liquid since the last patch?
- "Breaking a hive with a hammer doesn't break" => don't suppose you have a save with this happening in? have seen this reported randomly but never been able to replicate what causes it

Hey, ty for the answer. As for your questions (in asked order) :

- Nice to know, didn't really notice since i didn't talk as much to NPCs in endgame but just tried and it does appear to be fixed !
- It only happened to me once while i moved my gramaphone that was playing since quite a while aournd. But all music related devices had stopped working (gramaphone, jukebox and cassette player). Sadly i have no idea how to reproduce it...
- it's mostly happening to the Resonator, if i place a canister in it and close the interface before it's fully transfered the cooling down timer doesn't start untill i interact with the canister again (pretty sure i had it with some other machines but couldn't reproduce it)
- I didn't get any ghost liquid creation since the last patch no, so here's hopping it doesn't come back
- When i had this unbreakable hive it was with a filtration hive while i was clearing sludge, i broke the hive while it was still full (bees, full sludge filters and slugde) i got everything back but the hive stayed at 0 health and i could break it over and over again. Since restarting the game fixed it i don't have a save with a hive in that scenario. I did try to reproduce it but had no success...

Sorry if that's not of much help to fix those issues but at least they didn't prevent me from enjoying the game (even though the NPC thing did make me alt f4 the game a few times xd happy to know it's fixed)
Thank you for the great game !

Alright sweet, thank you for the info! I'll have a look at jukeboxes and the resonator then see if I can narrow down whats going on

Yeah that hive one is weird, I've seen it happen before once personally it seemed to not like one of the items in the hive but never found out what - no worries though

Glad you enjoyed the game and thank you for playing <3
