Bees, my god
« on: January 23, 2011, 06:01:50 pm »
Quote from:  Toady One
The first of the sponsored animals is underway -- it involves a side industry of beekeeping. Bee colonies found on the map can be collected and placed into clay/stone hives (the tube-style hive I found on Wikipedia, he he he -- I imagine woven hives will make it in when we have the materials for it, and I might throw in wooden hives now too). Artificial hives with colonies will yield honeycombs made from wax and pressing these will yield honey and wax, although it won't yield wax now if I don't actually have a use for wax that can go in now. We don't have flowers yet -- just a requirement that bees be kept adjacent to an open outside tile. Since collection destroys the colony with our non-modern hives, you'll have to collect new colonies of bees after your honeycombs are pressed, but new colonies will be available on the map over time in areas with bees.

SO EXCITED!

Will this eventually mean bee traps, do you think?

My guess: bees = carp 2.0

At least right after they're introduced, anyway.

All I know is that when 31.20 (or whatever the immediate bugfix release will be) comes out, I will become a Beengineer.

Armies of war-bees.

Maybe he could also code in wasps/hornets if we can't mod them in ourselves.

Will 1 out of 50 dwarves be deathly allergic to bees?

bee stings should induce a mild non-chronic syndrome.  Dwarves doing the beekeeping job should occasionally be stung, but develop resistance.

And yes... Bee traps.  Bees as torture devices.

The bee strikes the Peasant in the head with its stinger, shattering the skull, and jamming the skull through the brain, and tearing apart the brain! A tendon in the skull has been torn! An artery has been opened by the strike!

... Yes, the hugs are for everyone.  No stabbing, though.  Just hugs.

Also expect many dwarves to be immovable in the hospital due to foot stings.

As cool as it would bee (pun!) I'm guessing that bees will be a vermin class creature (like spiders and their webs), I guess you never know though.
