Idle Beekeepers 0.21.0

in Idle Beekeepers

Features

  • Premium honey as a path: single-flower yards, organic at +30%, show ribbons that build the brand
  • Pollination as a path: choose each contract's size, a second truck, a broker, gentler transport
  • Pollination tuned so a farm that leans on it earns its keep
  • The Foundation opens at 300 colonies or a pollination record of 5,000 hive-seasons
  • The Foundation can't be signed before the farm's 25th year: the county wants to see the farm last
  • The year's honey sales are recorded by where they went (gate and market, orders, club, contracts, retail buyer, bulk, co-op)
  • Past 120 colonies at home, a farm's colonies share the county's forage
  • Cut comb honey per hive, and royal jelly from grafted cells

Balance

  • Single-flower yards only for flowers worth a season (x1.3 and up); smaller show effects; the ribbon bump on customer sales only
  • Both paths together: ribbons give a small label bump only, repeat growers +10%
  • The county's forage from 150 colonies; ribbons and repeat growers back to the owner's design
  • Cut comb sells a piece a week at the gate, three in a farm shop, one on a stall day
