I am trying to make chickens lay bees as eggs. So far it  only produces a single "Tame Small Creature" when a hen lays bees.
I replaced the [LAYS_EGGS] and egg material tags with [LAYs_UNUSUAL_EGGS:PET:HONEY_BEE:NONE:NONE]

Drugs are not god for you, sweety.

Honeybees occur in swarms of like 10k, so you'd probably need to change the clutch size to something like 10000:12000 to get a swarm of bees, but at the same time it might create 10k individual, unique, pathfinding bees that will rape your FPS.  You've been warned.

I just imagined a poor hen squinting in pain as 10,000 live and quite angry bees fly out of its orifice.

Oh god... my brain.

Lol, internet noob.  Just remember, that these are considered "eggs" so it doesn't come out of the anus...

I didn't say anus. I said orifice.

Except that chickens only have one hole that they excrete(and lay eggs) from.

Ok why would you want chickens to lay bees when you could make bees that lay chickens?

[Girlinhat]

That's... um... Very good point!

Bump because this is on the second page and nothing helpful has been posted.

[Sutremaine]

Sigged, that's just... what.

Have you been able to produce bees by reaction? That'll give you the correct format for the product at least.

PET:NONE:HONEY_BEE:NONE would be what you use in a reaction. Or better yet, VERMIN instead of PET to make them wild bees.

The unusual egg tag is LAYS_UNUSUAL_EGGS:(item):(item subtype)

It wont read the 3rd part that defines which sort of vermin the game should use.

Maybe try [LAYS_UNUSUAL_EGGS:VERMIN:NONE][EGG_MATERIAL:HONEY_BEE:NONE]?

[Qinetix]

I wonder if vermin can lie eggs , like a bee queen

That is incorrect - the syntax is [LAYS_UNUSUAL_EGGS:item:material], where "item" is an item+subtype (e.g. WEAPON:ITEM_WEAPON_WHIP, THRONE:NONE, or VERMIN:NONE) and "material" is whatever the object is made of (e.g. INORGANIC:IRON, CREATURE_MAT:CAT:LEATHER, or "CREATURE_NAME:NONE" if you happen to be creating a vermin).

I just modded chickens to use [LAYS_UNUSUAL_EGGS:VERMIN:NONE:SPIDER_CAVE:NONE], and they did indeed leave live cave spiders in their nest boxes, but once I deconstructed them, the spiders immediately ran away at hyper speed and didn't seem to leave any webs behind, so creating vermin as items presumably doesn't initialize all of their properties correctly.
