Thank you to Peaceman for adding additonals to his Mechanical Manufacturing so that and this work together now. <3

Well the conflict with the Mechanical mining drills was fixed but seems since the update that a new problem has poped up all is normal but the hives vanish when placed wether placed on correct grass or on timbers cant be totally sure that it is not a world issue as we just started using Thales Planet Earth on ME World Vikings US but we kept the same mod list exactly as the previous vanilla world and Beekeeping was working fine not sure what the conflict might be releated too as I have tried to place hives in MM but still not placeing hope to get this working if some one can look at it I can also check and upload logs if they may be of help need my meed LOL

Hello to anyone having crashes!
When trying to place the beehive I might have found the conflicting issue. If you are like me and have over 90 mods installed it's troublesome to find conflicts, so that's why I have went through most of the popularly used mods myself and found that if you have (Mechanical Mining Drill)
installed with the (Advanced Beekeeping [0.7]) they will conflict and cause this crash.

I know this may not be the solution for everyone but I hope this may help some of you.

As I said before, this mod is working just fine on my server (The Last Bastion) for ages now and never had any issues.
I can have a look at your logs, if you want to, but I suspect this is due to a mod conflict, so please see first if you have corrupted mod files and re-download the mod. Also, try to test the mod by itself without other mods active on the server and add mods one at a time, to see if there's a potential conflict.

hey :) the mod is not working on my server either, when i place the hive it goes away from inventory but is not placed in the world, just dissapears

Same, game crash for me too, when I try to place a beehive! I'm using CE

cant pull the bees out , i made a hive then when i try to get rid of it it crashes lmao

easier to just pull the bees out then go thru 120 mods lol

same

when i try to place a beehive the game crashes HARD,

@vicman79 this sounds like you have either a mod conflict or the mod or its dependencies have inconsistencies. The symptons you discribe are usually due to issues with scripts. Verify that all files have been downloaded correctly and are up to date, respectively redownload the mod and its dependencies. As I said, the mod is working just fine on my server and it looks like an issue on your end.

Oh to add a bit When you go to place the hive it clicks in the normal way you would expect it too it simply does not place not in MM mode at least Will try to set server to creative and test as well to see if that changes anything I do not get any crashes related to the mod or the quest

OK I will describe our issue on DS ME World Vikings US In our last world just pre CE the mod worked fine as it has been for some time Now in out new CE but Vanilla ME world all is fine except that the hive will not place not on nice green grass or anywhere else for that matter. The Quest works fine until you reach the end and it asks you to place hive the place box is green like it should be In Admin MM mode I can create all of the items of the mod honey and wax and the hives themselves also the queen bees are found as they should in mushrooms so all is fine except placement of the hive I will reload my old world into CE updated server and see if it still works there This may help to run the problem down but with out this mod there is no working Bee keeping in ME

I will make another test, if it bugs, I will post the log ... It crashed the game and the error message pointed to your mod. Then your mod was in red in my mod list.

@raiderknight what's the matter? It's working for me just fine, even on multiplayer servers.

Please read the mod description carefully and follow the in game quest and see if those solve your problems.

Still buggy in 2022! :(

Is there a recipe for the bee smoker? I'm stuck and stung a lot. I'm not allowed to eat homey in the real world, diabetes, so I need virtual honey. lol.

I no longer have the game or the ability to make any changes to the mods. If anybody would like to take this and keep it working into the future, they're more than welcome!

Advanced Beekeeping [0.7]

is stop working so can you please fix it on 0.7

Good catch! I wasn't playing with the Mechanical Mining Drill mod myself yet, so I don't know what could cause the compat issue. But I will reach out to peaceman and see if he has an idea.

It's ture! I have that mod too! Thanks FelixOd! Really many thanks! You found the issue!

First, this is a great extension to survival play.

But I also had a mod compatibility issue.
Seems that this mod is not compatible with Mechanical Mining Drill by peaceman.

@Hektor Riven Maybe you could double check this.

Greetings Shad, please, don't you worry! It's perfectly fine!

Actually I admit I wasn't able to identify the mod. It may seem an easy task as I've just about fourty addons, including all the dependencies, but it isn't, and looks like it will require a lot more time. Because of this I've just awaited for your answer to be sure it wasn't a known problem.
I'm going to check everything again and hopefully I'll find the problematic compatibility issue!

Thanks again for your time and for the bees (working for me on an unmodded world and acting greatly)!

@Hektor Riven, sorry for the late response. I wasn't able to reproduce your issue and I am not sure what would cause that crashlog you attached, other than it points to the grid placer, which, well, fails.

Did you figure out yet, what mod was causing the compatibility issue?

is it 1 in 10? i feel like it's 1 in 10k

Greetings!

After a few tests I've managed to discover that it's a mod compatibility problem. Beekeeping works if there're no other mods (beside Equinox Core). I haven't found, however, the problematic mod yet.

In while, thanks to the log, did you find something useful?

I hope they help! I'm using Shader at Medium, if it matters.

Hello Shad!

Thank you very much for your answer. By the way, I love bees, maybees because here where I live there's a special kind of honey and I love watching the hives of my friends.

@Hektor Riven, glad you like the mod, although you seem to have issues to even use it. When your game crases, I'd need the last lines of the logfile, where it says "Exception occured..."
You can find the logfile in %appdata%\MedievalEngineers\MedievalEngineers.log

Greetings, and thanks for this bee mod! Seems so lovely!

I have to report, by the way, that happens to me too a crash whenever I try to place an hive. Which part of the log would you like to have in order to investigate the issue?

My test was on a Creative Wild Start.

Thanks in advance!

@ChaosShadic if you could upload your logfile (pastebin) and share it with me, I can have a look at it.

When I try to place a hive it crashes my game

I placed the hives in the middle of a large meadow and interact with them but the queens dont leave my inventory and I dont get stung.

ah.. im a doofus.. i was crafting it at the crafting table.. not personal crafting.. *slaps forehead* D'oh! lol

Hi!
When I crafted a beehive.. it crafts ok.. but when crafted.. it disappeared. I am unable to "take" it. O . o

Am I doing something wrong?

The code checks to make sure there is enough of the flowery meadow around to reasonably support bees. Your meadow area might not be big enough. Feel free to send a screen shot overhead of your hive & the meadow around it.

Are there randomly 2 types of meadows? cause i placed the beehive in an area with grass looking like the ones in the screenshots but it was some small forest in a plains area which had it.

@Malum1971, did you place the beehive in a grassy meadow? Bees need plenty of fresh grass/flowers. They won't make any honey for you if you place it i.e. in the desert or at the top of a mountain.

I tried to install this mod, but when I came to insert a beequeen in the beehive it seem to fail. there are no bees flying around the hive and the hive doesn't get filled with honey...? I can smash the hive and get the queen back but no wax or honey, so I can't complete the quest...

Well, this is great news! Thank you so much.

Live & working again, woooot.

@STORI3D PAST
Thank you! Your awesome!!!

thanks storied. hey do you think you can make any stone ceilings? I need them bad

I want to! All the regular stuff is ready. Just waiting on the scripting to get fixed up and then we’ll be good to go.

Pleeeeese update..... I need me some Bees!!!

Are you going to update this mod for the 0.7 update?

Oddly enough i managed to finish the quest and collecting items just by "decostructing" it. I will check into the mod list with the admin and let you know if we have "suspect" mods installed on our server. Thnx for the answer and keep up the amazing work!

@Ziogualty - Attank, do you get a hit confirmation on your crosshair when you whack the hive with a weapon?
It should be relatively easy to destroy it - it has about the same integrity as a timber.
The only explanation I can come up with why you might have such a hard time is that you have installed another mod that changes some properties of physical materials.

That hive is sturdy. I tried with different weapons but i always get stung to death without succesfully breaking it. Any hint? I cannot complete the quest and i did not get the bee smoker yet...
