RELEASED FrackinUniverse (Archive)

You'll know if you done it right when the apiary animates.
You need at least one drone, one queen, one frame, and some flowers around.

 

I think this change was particularly unnecessary, and I also think it goes against what is intuitive for both Bees! and FU. FU is all about the crafting stations with Very Specific purposes--you make seeds here, you do gene stuff here, etc. The Apiary Table's VSP is making things with honey and honey by-products, and since Bees! has so many of its own mechanics, it now feels more like the sort of distinct subsection of the mod that gets its own crafting station set aside for it. Plus, as a longtime fan of the mod, it bothers me that I can't use the craftiing table as a convenient one-stop shop for all my bee needs. Plus, they still don't appear to be unlocked for me, and I feel like locking away these items hurts another one of the things I really liked about the mod: You knew right off the bat what the high-tier stuff was and how it was made, which encouraged you to strive for it and try to make it right off the bat. It gave you goals and encouraged you to reach for them by the mere fact that you had a chance to see what sort of goals you could have.

Then you're harming the utility of one of the late-tier unlockables in Bees! by condemning it to creating something you can easily find and which is no longer special or unique in any way. Furthermore, by trying to insert items from the FU mod into the crafting for Bees! stuff, you're upsetting the balance of the mod and throwing the usefulness of some of its products all out of whack.

Not to mention, by turning the bees into pinata enemies, without changing the frequency of their spawn, you're undermining the entire need to raise them in the first place.

This is a problem. You're trying to make all these piecemeal changes to the mod, and you're not all that familiar with how it works. Looking at a bunch of scripts and theoretically working out their purpose in one's head is no substitute for cracking open a new character and just spending some quality time with a mod, learning its feel and progression in that gut way instead of in that well-the-numbers-say-this way. You've been given custodianship of a popular, well-liked mod, and I think learning that mod's ins and outs well is an important part of doing that mod and its existing fanbase justice. It is a slow-paced mod that rewards patience, especially when contrasted to a combat-heavy mod like FU. It's also a mod that does very useful work when you're just running around your base or FTLing from planet to planet and can eliminate busywork like mining for low-tier ores. I understand that you are trying to combine two mods that target very different audiences and you'd like it to be meaningful, but I think the most meaningful thing you could do at this point is just to get a good, long amount of Bees! usage in yourself so you really, truly KNOW what you're working with.

 

From what I read on the main page of the Bees! mod page, not much has changed. Anyways Sayter was given the mod to merge with FU, so I'm pretty sure he's making a couple changes here or there to make it fit in with FU better.

 

Next log of a broken crystal moon.

 

where do i find brek- brak- silk trees
edit:spelling

 

I've found them on forest and lush worlds, IIRC. You could also make them the the FU workshops.

 

You make them in your lab. Pritty basic genes

 

Got a new bug

Code:

CelestialWorld:-571717846:-828985513:-211441254:6

Not sure what changed for this.

 

uh...it wasn't unnecessary. At the time of their being added, it wasn't a merge going on. Therefore there were about 700 conflicts with the two mods. So this fixed the issue. And in the end it served my purposes better to just leave them named with the new file names, not the old ones, since it didn't harm anything once all was switched.

I didn't condemn it. I've not altered bees! progression in any way. It can all still be done exactly the same was as before. I literally grabbed his published code, merged into fu, removed conflicts...and that was it. The amber was added because I wanted it to be a bit more interesting to craft.

Not the Bees! mod bees, dude. The hive biome bees, which are totally different creatures from the get-go. The Bees! ...er..bees.. still need to be raised.

again, I haven't changed it's progression in any way. Many of the recipes it added were unlocked from the start, so that much has changed to be in-line with the rest of the mod. And that won't change Now you need to unlock the stuff via the various blocks and stations. As of the next Github release it will be possible to build them in the bee station again . You're making a mountain out of a molehill here, dude. I literally just added it into FU and therefore need to "massage" it into place while simultaneously doing about 50 other updates in different areas of the mod. Patience is required.

Once this next push is live, THEN you can toss the feedback at me on what is still "busted" with bees mod. But again, and I cannot stress this enough, I've not altered progression in Bees! save for some unlocks needing effort where they did not before, or the amber.[DOUBLEPOST=1442182118][/DOUBLEPOST]

no idea whats going on there. Doesn't seem to be related to FU though.

 

Okay found this:

I got that one too! Solidarity, brother!

 

the heckblob i know about, and will have fixed soon. I'm not sure why that NPC throws that error , when spawning him normally throws none. Hrmph. The other bug is now fixed. Thanks.[DOUBLEPOST=1442187893][/DOUBLEPOST]LIVE ON GITHUB


-temporarily disabled the Heck Blob monster from atropus till it’s lua issue is sorted out

- fixed biorain throwing a wrong image error

- reworked cultist microdungeons so there are 4 populated, and 4 unpopulated. Re-added to primeval forest biomes.

-added 3 new blocks: Titanium Wall, Speed Block and Jump Block. The last two require Titanium Wall and other resources to build. They are incredibly useful. Pick up a fission furnace to unlock the recipes.

-added FU original (thanks, @dasmole for the art and code!) fleshleech monster to bloodstone and atropus

- heavily reduced FU monster spawn rates

-elderspear blueprint should hopefully work okay now, rather than being a PGI

- added some new decorations to primeval forest worlds

- rostone should properly extract again

- you can now build the brain extractor once you find silicon, simply to enable the recipe for Brain in a Jar to work properly

- dinos now have a chance to drop eggs, which can be extracted from for materials

- added one new ice surface microdungeon

- added two brand new arboreal surface microdungeons. a giant tree, a bluff, and a dangerous bridge. It seems they spawn very rarely even when kept as the only selection options in the biome set to max spawn rate, but that is due to their size and that they require a fair amount of background being strictly air.

- exceptional bees should produce honey as normal again

- bee gear should appear in both the MA and Bee station now

- fixed bees! related food recipe unlocks

- wasteland vehicles should fit the SB art style a bit more now (their black outlines have been replaced with colored outlines)

 

Some minor bug reports: On the science outpost, all NPCs are now using the apex's dialogue. And on finding a (ungodly rare) blueprint slime blob under a slime world, on breaking it it dropped a perfectly generic item, and not a blueprint.

Also, did you nerf bee biomes? I noticed a significant reduction in the amount of bees chasing after you on going through one, as well as the hive block no longer applying the honey debuff. I only found 5-6 bees traveling through it, as opposed to the 100+ that were there a few patches ago.

 

I have a question on corruption ore. I've been looking through more than a few atropus worlds finding places full of corruption and yellow bioluminescent stone, although no corruption ore. Am I looking in the wrong kind of "corrupt" area? And if so, what should I be looking for in a corrupt biome to know it's the right kind?

 

Yea, i significantly reduced the bee spawns recently as per the update notes. I felt it was a bit too many, and am currently trying to find the right balance.

Which blueprint do you mean by "slime blob" blueprint exactly?

and the hive blocks should still be applying honey effects. that hasn't changed. Perhaps you are wearing an item that mitigates the effect. Unless you mean the normal "honey" ground still does it but the combs do not. If that is what you mean, you would be correct. It was done to make it less of a chore to navigate with at least a few breaks of not being stuck if you lacked the proper gear

 

Had a PGI pop up from one of the Honey crystal chests.

[22:29:19.882] Error: Could not instantiate item '[fugoldenblade-recipe, 1, {}]'. (JsonException) Cannot convert from null to string

This was what i dug out of the log around the time I found it. Seems the giant jelly thing is getting some more use, as I had to fight 4 of them before I got to that chest. lol

 

lol wtf. diamondpickaxe? i know for a fact i dont use that in FU...but ill do a check anyhow

edit: nope. not from FU

guessing another mod you use is spawning something in chests as well. Or...something...[DOUBLEPOST=1442203558][/DOUBLEPOST]

fungal, crystal moon, primeval, thickjungle, lightless, penumbra

 

I'm getting a rather nasty problem from this mod. Those aggressive bees that drop honey and stuff cause my entire computer to freeze up to the point I have to turn it off the old fashioned way. It happens whenever I try to pick up the honey that the bees dropped.

...Now that I look at it, there doesn't seem to be anything indicating that there was a problem. But I know it's that honey that's causing the problem.

 

Ahhh. Alright, yes, i meant the honeycomb blocks. Now I can hop between those rather than just drudging through all of the terrain. As for blueprint slimes, did some file digging, and realized you didn't really touch the slime biomes other than add the new monsters, so it likely has Nothing to do with this mod. To answer the question though, is a very rare slime cave terrain object that spawns, that is -supposed- to have a slime blueprint inside it. It's in the unpacked assets folder of the game. Sadly, only had a PGI in it. Again, though, likely doesn't have anything to do with this mod.

 

Hey guys! I'm having a bit of trouble completing a couple of quests. I have the quest Oonforta, which asks me to make some Oonforta at a Gene Design lab, though even after making some the quest doesn't trigger properly. I also can't seem to make the Bio-Luminescence Gene at the Xeno Research Lab - it asks for a blue item called "Bio-Lumin. Material" that doesn't seem to exist anywhere.
