Honey and bee hives! a wonderful new food source( and honey genes and creatures)


thivid08

Post

Honey is an amazing food source! Bee hives can be found in trees of any kind, or more rarely on the ground. Any nicheling can gather honey, no matter its genes, and you can gather as much as you want without emptying the hive. You can get 2 food points every time you gather, it does not seem like much, but you dont need specialized genes and it never runs out. Gathering honey causes nichelings to be covered in it, giving them a sweet smell, and other pack mates can lick the honey to get one extra food. However, gathering too much honey can anger the bees, causing them to sting you. At first each sting will only remove one turn from the nichelings, but many consecutive stings can cause damage, creatures with stinky tail have a lower chance of being stung, and those with armored body are completely immune to stings. You can attack the hive to break a piece which gives 5 food, and you can attack it 4 times before destroying it, giving a total of 20 food, however, this will stop honey production and enrage the bees, which will ignore stinky tail and armor body in this case. It takes a few days for the hive to recover a broken piece, and hives are rare, so you dont want to destroy one. If its on a tree, only flying creatures can gather from it, but you can shake the tree to bring down a honey comb, but shaking it often can break a piece or bring the whole hive down, so hives on the ground are better. They can be found from medium to killer islands.

Genes: narrow snout: lets you eat the bees( unlocked by getting stung 50 times)

honey paw: lets you gather one extra food point from honey if genes identical, also gives 1 gathering and 1 strength. ( Unlocked by inviting a nicheling with that gene and having all other honey genes.)

Long tongue( It says tongue but its a snout gene): Can get 1 extra food point from licking honey. ( Unlocked by licking honey 100 times)

Honey eating creatures:

Honey glutton: A mix between a wolverine and a honey badger, this guy does not give a dam about anything, the fiercest creature in niche, it rarely hurts nichelings, but it will eat anything, from nuts to fish to bunnies and berries( It will sometimes destroy a berry bush because it does not care) but its favorite food is honey, it will fiercely guard a give, eating the bees, honey and sometimes breaking a piece, but sometimes it will go away, letting you gather. It cant reach honey on trees. It moves one tile every time a nicheling moves, and it has little defense, but If any creature gets near it, I will make and intimidating growl which will even scare away an ape! Nichelings affected by the growl cant interact with the glutton, essentially making it invincible, and letting it go on its merry way. They are rare, but will be more likely to spawn if there is honey. They can be found in any island with honey and live 50 days. Rarely, it can do a special attack that ignores defence and spikyness.

honey parrot: A yellow parrot like bird which will fly around hives in trees. It will perch on the tree and gather honey, and if a nicheling tries to steal its honey, it will make a call which will instantly enrage the bees and it can cause a predator to come near. You can hunt it or lick the honey it gathers. It can be found in any island with honey.

I think that you would need collecting to gather honey. They could try, but they would have a change of breaking the hive.

Maybe a bee pattern or body(a yellow nicheling with black stripes) could also be added as well as a stinger gene? The stinger gene could be unlocked after attacking a hive a certain amount of times, and causes a small amount of damage to another creature. The damage it causes would be maybe 1 or 2, but it the enemy causes to flee a short distance away from the pain. The bee pattern/body could be unlocked after reaching a medium or killer island where a hive is present, or just by traveling to harder islands. It would serve as a way to trick the bees by confusing them and allows you to avoid being stung by bees altogether. I think having this pattern/body would cause the honey glutton to be more aggressive or passive towards you as well though.

The pythadillo lizard will most likely be the biggest predator of the honey glutton due to it's virtual deafness, high stealth, defense and constricting, also the beak should be able to eat bees, and also the parts that let you eat bees should also let you catch flies this is still a good idea

Good point. The growl is meant to symbolize intimidation, so its not just a growl, but I think the pythadillo and the glutton would be great rivals! The pythadillo could sometimes constrict the glutton, and sometimes the glutton could scare it away with its claws! It would be a preetyeven fight.

Thanks for the art! About the collecting thing, im not sure, its cool but my original concept is that the honey is easy to gather for anyone. But It makes sense for the claws to have a chance of breaking the hive.

one thing however, can the honey glutton once in a while, score say, a critical hit that ignores defense and does 2 more points of damage, this can be explained away as striking a vulnerable part of its prey, and will make it more evenly matched with the pythadillo, you say he does not give a dam about anything, how about sometimes he can not give a dam about spikyness or defense

edit: welcome :)

Thats an amazing idea, I think im going to add that
