ok it's fixed.

sounds nice lol

found a bug in the Wuzzy mod. When you hit an enemy with a boomerang and don't catch it, the bees will hit you.

thanks

@vip.roalty05 You need to beat the Queen Bee twice. The wiki has the unlocks and details for each hive attachment

where can I find the Metapis Alchemist blueprint?

Yeah that happens :p

I almost just died to overheating while standing next to an endo in winter :/

I see, good to know. I should make an anti-die to the ruins base

@Reef it's intended. You can make another mother hive in the caves because the caves are a separate "shard" from the overworld.

is it a glitch that I only have base metas in the caves or is that intended?

God this mod is brilliant, I absolutely love the character and the constant changes and updates keep everything fresh and it feels like it fits perfectly into the game

And also i will tune down the cost a bit.

Thanks for feedback. Yes i forgot to factor day time between different seasons. I calculated the honey consumption during Autumn only. There will be new skill tree to help make more honey, maybe with the cost of something. I was also thinking about making Bee Queen in hive state tradeable, so you can trade gold or rare ingredients for honey.

TLDR; new economy good. early game harder but fair, late game not hard but a little annoying.

Suggestions: Make metapis workers better with a perk or new building. Improve regular beeboxes or make metapis beeboxes so that we have better space management. Add perks that help with winter honey economy (not too important if not added tho).

Some suggestions I have to improve the experience more is to buff or add a perk that makes the metapis workers actually good. They are honestly pretty useless and it really sucks because they are the only reliable you can get honey in winter without fighting bees.
Alternatively, maybe a child hive that upgrades them to get more pollen or reduce honey costs by a third.

The biggest problem I have is actually to do with regular beeboxes and the space needed for more than 3. I want to have more honey producing so I can actually have a surplus for myself but having 5 beeboxes next to my base for the upkeep of a level 3 hive and all the childhives is insane (30 honey per day). Especially in early spring when the days are really short and they don't even make 4 honey per box. Some suggestions are to maybe make a new building or a Wuzzy item to upgrade beeboxes or have an insight perk that makes regular bees better

After playing through a whole year on 2 different worlds (one was made after the honey economy update) I think that the new honey economy is well balanced. It actually provides another layer to managing the hive so you can't just mindlessly keep adding hives. It wasn't that intrusive to manage either since you had to build bee boxes anyway.

Fighting the Bee Queen isn't as simple as putting the mother hive next to the BQ and building 2 child hives next to her to tank the bumblebees infinitely. I tried fighting her the first time in winter with the moonguard and the shadow hives and stalled out on phase 2 because I had no honey to regen the bees.
Winter is tough without farming honey for a couple days before the beeboxes stop working.

Bug fix worked, thank you.

@Q00B you can check the wiki for how it works. Basically, any extra bees from child hives will consume honey if they are inside the hive. For 3 barracks + full child hives, level 1 hive costs ~32 honey per day, level 3 hive costs ~48. You need to farm much more honey to maintain the army.
Or you can just let them reduce to base number.

curious on how exactly the new honey economy system works? when and how much honey do the hives consume? seems to be quite alot even tho i only have 3 barracks, my honey is constantly at 0 now

@UselessAwe you can try again. However, i suspect there is some mods in your game that do something with hunger that may cause this. The logs look weird.

Looks like you were dead or something. I will fix soon.

It doesn't show an error message on crash. I think I found the proper txt file this time.
https://pastebin.com/D3FAip70

I think its not the right file. Does the screen show the error messages when it crashes? If so you can also screenshot that for me, its easier to do that than finding the world log.

Just leaving a quick comment about a crash I'm having rn. It's happening as I try to fight the Bee Queen next to the queen hive and and a bunch of normal beehives. I've managed to recreate the crash a few times and it usually happens when the metapis bees and the regular bees fight the Bee Queen and the bumble bees in a massive pile.

I think it might be because of another mod I have but I'll try to come back the the crash report.

Heya!, Just saw the new update and I must say I like the look of it so far. I'm gonna start a new world and see how it feels. I'll leave my feedback on it once I get to day 100 or so.

I'm in agreement with SpaceWyvern. I keep tabs on this mod and the discussions and answer some of the questions too, specifically because of how much I love this mod for the game. It really is a fantastic, well-flushed out mod. And I really hope that Renetta continues to do as they do. Wuzzy is a mainstay for DST, no question. Keep going on as you do, bud!

Hell, many mods that I have are there to add to Buzzy. Honey chests, craftable killer beehives, bee turrets and more. If I find a mod that works with Buzzy, I take it primarily cause it works with Buzzy, not cause I like the mod xd

@Renetta You can take all the time you want. The last thing any of us need is you getting a burnout. I, too, tend to play a game a lot, then quit for a while. And I must confess, that everytime I come back to the game, the first thing I rush to is to see if this mod got any updates. And this time I saw that new perk that empowers your bees, so can't wait to make my army even more powerful than ever!

@SpaceWyvern haha thanks man, that means a lot to me. It's still under Long term support, until i get back to game to play more i will add more content.

If this mod ever gets discontinued (knock on wood that it doesn't), I will stop playing this game xd
I love this mod to death and back. Best mod I have ever played and I have used many many many mods

@ ฬเɭչ i dont have plan to add yet, as i benchmarked, late game Wuzzy with so many resources would now just wreck any boss due to sheer number. @Reef you already have beeboxes perk for that.

Maybe something for the skill tree that involves normal bee hives. Like letting you harvest honey from normal bee hives and maybe being able to move them

May Planar Damage be added to the skill tree?

Since we're currently in a lunar vs shadow saga, and all skill trees have some form of planar damage for late game.

Could be cool to make more Honey items like a Throw-able Honey ball that works that slowed mobs for a few seconds.

Ore your own Red bee home's that works like the vanilla ones just on every other mobs instead of the player. making a home base defense ore a new way of creating farms.

Ore make a Mutation skill for Wuzzy since the character is a bee you could add wings to him make it possible to move like 10% faster (dash) ore soo. also maybe make him able to fly over water to pick up stuff on the shore tho make the food bar degrade fast when he uses his wings soo hes not too overpowered and prevent him from explore the islands early like monkey island ore moon.

Ore maybe make another weapon that is more based on poison since bee's are poisones.

Just a few ideas to share, =)

only maintaining for now, dont have any ideas yet to finish the skill tree.

Renetta, do you still have plans to work on the mod?

my bee said a curse word after losing track of a koalaphents trail

10/10

I absolutely love this mod! Greatest character from the workshop!

How is it uncomp compatible?

Yay! uncomp compatibility!!!!
also examination quote for thee frozen thermal stone is weird "Frozen heat, huh? Chilly hotness."

Fuzz Buzz -- New bee that can increase your warmth as when deployed during combat. They cannot fight but are tanky and hard to kill. They follow close by to keep your warm.

Wayfarer -- New bee that produces light for extended periods of time in a small radius similar to a torch. They fly around you as you move without interfering with combat. Unkillable/cant be targeted, and only comes out if you fight. Adjustable deployment via metapis medal things.

Martyr --- New bee that rushes to the enemy with low HP. When killed, it drops 1 healing honey
that restores 3 HP for you, but 15 HP for allies when eaten.

Expansionist 1 -- enables you to increase your larvae by 3, but lowers the overall HP of all your warrior bees by 50%.

Expansionist 2 -- enables you to further increase your larvae by another 3, but changes hp reduction of your bees by 65% instead of 50%.

Isolationist 1 -- Reduce your total larvae by 2, but increases worker bees at mother hive by 2 and has a chance for worker bees to collect 2 pollen instead of 1.

Isolationist 2 -- Reduce your total larvae to a maximum of 3, but increases worker bees and warrior bees at mother hive by 3, and worker bees have a 50% chance to collect 2 pollen with an increased travel range.

Glutton 1 -- Sanity decreases 20% faster, but decrease the number of pollen you need to eat to make 1 honey by 4.

Sloth 1 -- Speed at which you generate new larvae is decreased by 30%, but you have a 40% chance to gain 2 pollen when killing an enemy with melissa.

@Renetta

So you want some perks that aren't just positives, but negatives or mixed?
Add one that increases the movement speed of Worker bees, but decrease their HP by 75%. This should also increase their production of Pollen/honey?

Another is making the Warrior bees you summon have more HP, at the sacrifice of speed. Could make it difficult to pursue enemies chasing you.

One to make melissa hit harder, but less uses, or vice versa with more uses, but less damage.

New bee that can collect pollen like the worker bees, but turns them into Hive walls. You can grab them and place them down.

New bee that consumes meat in the vicinity and spitting back out a piece of meat honey that lowers sanity by 10, but recovers 15 Hunger and 20 HP. Or make it similar to the worker bee, where it goes out to convert any meat into meat honey but is noncombat.

@The Witch With No Memories yes, but i'm taking a break at the moment to find more inspirations. I want the skill tree to be interesting but not overloaded, and not just about + bonus like Wolfgang, so it will take time to design.

the bees picking pollen is different from Wuzzy so i think there's no issue.

@Renetta

Issue solved.

Spoke with the author of EPIC mod, they had code that overrides flowers, causing wuzzy to pick up the entire flower.

We changed your mod's load order positioning via ---
-- This lets other players know if your mod is out of date, update it to match the current version in the game
api_version = 10
priority = -6666700000

this allowed your mod to be loaded AFTER/Below EPIC.
As a result, Wuzzy may now pick flower pollen WITHOUT picking the flower as well.

Now, my other issue im confused about is whether or not your worker bees actually get pollen from the flowers (whether they have yellow icon or not) and bring it to the metapis container. Cuz it didnt seem like it, and im hoping EPIC isnt causing issues with that as well.

do you use some other mods? Some mods may overwrite the flowers' code and cause that to happen.

@Renetta

When I get pollen from a flower, it just picks the entire flower. I still get the pollen and whatnot, but in the same process, I'm destroying the flower, despite the yellow marker on them to show its pollenated

hey so there's 3 more insight points after unlocking all skills is there going to be an update where you can use those extra points?
