I think it might be kind of cool if you could put a bee box near evil flowers and harvest nightmare fuel (1 per tier) every now and then. Maybe some kind of Killer Bee box? Shudderflies? (Because you shudder when you're scared.) Ok, maybe the Shudderflies don't really fit, but maybe they do. Just throwing things out there.

Perhaps a different kind of bee box made with living logs (to contain the dark magic of pure nightmare fuel) that you place near evil flowers. It produces a few globs of nightmare fuel at a slower rate than normal bee boxes make honey, and you hwve to replace the bees every now and then because they die of fuel poisoning OR mutate into monster bees that you have to kill. The reason I suggest so many drawbacks is because it is literally a way to farm nightmare fuel, which is a late game item that's supposed to be hard to get.

That is why we have machine restrictions; in other words, you need to build a certain machine to make a certain item. If this new bee box for instance requires a prestihatitator to make, plus the fact that evil flowers are scarce an only found in certain places (ie Certain chess piece set pieces and next to Totally Normal Trees) as non-renewable (And I'm talking about evil flowers themselves, not dark petals) and that they are only found almost everywhere during the full moon, I don't see why farming nightmare fuel from that would result in hoards of nightmare fuel.

But bee without hive can spread/propagate evil flower as the normal. No ? Because it seems to work in one of my DST game.

 

Yes. In fact, homeless bees do create a new single flower for every 6 flowers they already pollinated, I believe. Therefore, if you leave a ton of bees in an area filled with evil flowers, there's a 100% that new evil flowers will be regenerated. The process takes quite a bit, however, so it's convenient to put lots of bees in that area, otherwise it will take forever.

 

I assume the whole process is faster when the area is loaded, so you should spend a bit of time around the infested zone untill the process gets going. With enough flowers and bees, the latter will begin to regenerate flowers faster than you can pick them, you should be pretty cautious, though: Bees, in spring, turn into Killer Bees, which will aggro you upon detection. And you should be pretty generous in investing lightning rods around the zone, as fire damage terminates bees rather fast, and in a flower-infested camp, combustion could cause some serious damage.

 

Nightmare fuel becomes quite renewable this way. It could be pretty cool to have distinct bees that generates fuel as well, even though the design behind that is a bit questionable (but that's Don't Starve, eh?).

When's either of yo mod project comin' out? I've been waiting so long the hype is dyin' out, man.

Neither of them have a set date as to when they'll be coming out. Creeps in the Deeps will probably be out somewhere this year as at least first public beta release, but as for the second mod project... Probably long after Through The Ages, as the second mod project will be compatible only with DST Through The Ages (I guess unfortunately?).

@XirmiX,Wouldn't it be more appropriate to finish the first one(or at least get it half done) before starting to think about the second? 

 

Ugh, Ralph, you just don't understand his way of thinking. He is the single most ambitious mod developer I've ever seen and you're getting hung up on small things such as practicality? Have a little faith, my man.

*eats a Deadly Feast and dies*

*turns into a ghost*

*haunts flowers and transforms them into Evil Flowers*

*Revives with a Meat Effigy*

*Place 3 homeless bees near evil flowers*

O__O

I thought that my hopes for evil flower farming were forever gone, but that should work :D
