    So for the past few hours I'm been concentrating on bees and trying to get the austere line.

    After the first 10 minutes of waiting for the first bee i started with to die, i noticed that the bee wasn't actually taking any damage, and they weren't damaging the frames in the apiary either, so i made sure that i was crazy and brought kris over to check and he was seeing that same thing.

    At first I thought it was the bees, but it wasn't since they died without a problem in my alvearies. It seems that all my "pre-placed" apiaries are perfectly fine until i put soul frames into them and then they stop taking damage, but resume again when they are taken out.

    It's not really anything major for me, but other people who are starting bees will have a problem.

    --edit--
    It seems like the thing that is causing the apiaries the stop working are the soul frames, which is very shitty. Because they are very nice for breeding bees since it improves the chance if it breeding into a different bees.

    Something else sk89q must fix...

    To make a server with more than 100 mods is a choice, but it means a lot of bugs like so!

    Having over a 100 mods isn't the problem. This happened after sk was testing the mining by adding it to the server. SO i'm 75% sure that that caused the problem.

    Problems are still appearing in mods and caused through conflicts with other mods, more mods means more chance to have a bug, that's what I meant underlining the amount of mods!

    BTW, anyhow, it's still sk89q that fixes it!

    Mine was working ok, if not a little fast (newbie bees) this morning at lunch. Haven't had a chance to test this afternoon though.

    I seem to remember some types of bees not working properly, which types were you working with?

    Shadow I can't seem to use my soul frames at all.

    Halp.

    Were the frames working fine before?

    Yeah, the frames worked perfectly before sk did his testing with adding the mining world.

    There's not much i can do or say atm, I would say that that we just wait but i have no idea when it would be fixed.

    Shadow, can bee's in the apiaries, after you've bred them to have perfect stats for both the drone and the princess have any sort of weird mutation happen to some of the stats? I could have sworn I put a Hardy Princess with 4x 4x fertility, and a hardy drone with 4x 4x fertility; yet my product at the end of the queens lifespan was Hardy Princess with 1x 4x and Hardy Drone with 1x 4x.

    I'm not sure if I just forgot to fully inoculate the princess with 4x 4x, or if it was some sort of bug.

    So far my other Hardy's of the same pairings have resulted in 1 princess with 4x 4x, and 4 drones with 4x 4x.

    I need something very specific to test with very specific instructions, and an example of what goes right and what goes wrong.

    You'll need an apiary, a drone, a princess, 3 soul frames, and 3 proven frames so you can see how frames should normally work.

    Place the apiary on the ground. Pick a bee species that doesn't mind most conditions, such as Rocky (about their only requirement is that they're placed near stone or cobblestone). Place the drone and the princess into the apiary. Place the proven frames into the apiary. Wait a minute or two. Notice how the life bar ticks down on both the bees and the frames.

    Now repeat the process but this time use the soul frames.

    The bees life cycle will cease to tick, nothing gets produced, and the soul frames will not use any durability. Ie, nothing happens.
     
    Shadow and Cranimesao like this.
