Features[]
- Beekeeping: find wild bees in all biomes, build beehouses to put them to work! A single beehouse won't do much, so prepare to build a few. Are you in an extreme biome? There are low-efficiency climatized beehouses available for you until you can get bees that modify allowed temperatures!
- Bee breeding: Mix two breeds of bees in a beehouse, and use a brood chamber to multiply them, and an hybridization chamber to get new species (more than 30)!
- Honey making: Centrifuge the combs produced by the bees to get honey and wax.
- Cooking and building: honey can be used as an ingredient in cooking, and wax can be used as a building material.
- Mead brewing: turn honey into mead to make your colonists happy (and drunk). Compatible with Universal Fermenter mod
- Wax lighting: candles are a quaint and cheap way to light your base
- Resource gathering: many of the bees produce combs with more things than honey and wax. Will you find the Luciferium-producing bees?
- Research: discover new exciting bee combinations
- Pollination: plan your growing zones around your beehives and increase your crop production
Most of the mod is pretty well explained in the item and research project descriptions. I have also created a simple crossbreeding chart to help you get started, which you can find at the Ludeon post: https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=46726
