RaG Beehive

RaG Beehive adds a complete beekeeping production loop to DayZ.

Capture bees, establish a working hive, grow honeycombs, process fresh honey, and produce honey wine. Active hives include bee particles, sound, and a dangerous sting zone. Proper protection matters.

GAMEPLAY LOOP Beehive Kit -> Find Bee Trap -> Add Bees -> Fill Frames -> Harvest Honeycombs -> Make Honey or Honey Wine

Required Mod

RaG Core

RaG Beehive and RaG Core are required on both server and clients.

No separate liquid framework is required. Honey and HoneyWine liquid support is included through RaG Core.

What This Mod Adds

• Placeable, persistent beehives
• Three independently processing honeycomb frames
• Bee Traps obtained by searching trees
• Beekeeper clothing and NBC-based protection
• Bark-powered Bee Smoker

How It Works

1. Start the Hive

[olist] [*]Find or purchase a Beehive Kit. [*]Deploy it at your chosen location. [*]Hold a Sledgehammer and search a valid, cuttable tree. [*]Use the resulting Bee Trap on the empty hive. [/olist]

Default Bee Trap search chance: 10% Default chance for bees to stay: 50%

Each tree search takes 10 seconds and damages the Sledgehammer.

The Bee Trap is consumed whether the bees stay or leave.

2. Protect Yourself

Active bees damage unprotected survivors near the hive.

Full protective outfit:

• Beekeeper Hat
• Any NBC jacket
• Any NBC gloves
• Any NBC pants
• Any NBC boots

A complete Beekeeper outfit is included and uses the required NBC clothing classes.

Alternative: Bee Smoker

[olist] [*]Load the Bee Smoker with oak or birch bark. [*]Ignite it. [*]Approach the active hive while holding the lit smoker. [/olist]

Smoking temporarily disables the hive's damage zone.

Default smoked duration: 5 minutes

3. Grow and Harvest Honeycombs

Craft one Empty Honeycomb Frame:

• 3 Wooden Planks
• 10 Nails

Attach up to three Empty Honeycomb Frames to an active hive. Each frame processes independently.

Default fill time: 60 minutes per frame

Frame progress only runs while the hive contains bees. Progress survives server restarts.

Harvesting a full frame:

[olist] [*]Move the Full Honeycomb Frame into the hive's Honey Crafting frame slot. [*]Hold a Honeycomb Spatula. [*]Use the Get Honeycomb action. [/olist]

You receive one Honeycomb and the Empty Honeycomb Frame back.

4. Make Honey

Required items:

• 3 Honeycombs
• 1 empty Honey Pot
• Disinfectant Spray, Alcoholic Tincture, or Iodine Tincture
• 1 Honeycomb Dipper

Process:

[olist] [*]Sterilize the empty Honey Pot. [*]Combine exactly three Honeycombs with the sterilized pot. [*]Attach the resulting Honeycomb Pot to the hive's Honey Crafting slot. [*]Hold the Honeycomb Dipper. [*]Use the Make Honey action. [/olist]

Result: One full Honey Pot.

Honey can be consumed directly, transferred into a Honey Jar, or used to fill an Empty Honey Glass.

Filling one vanilla Honey container consumes 400 ml from the Honey Pot.

5. Make Honey Wine

Required items:

• 2 Honeycombs
• 1 empty, sterilized Honey Pot
• 1 Test Tube containing at least 1,900 ml of water
• 1 Honeycomb Dipper
• 1 HoneyWine Bottle

Process:

[olist] [*]Heat the Test Tube to at least 95 degrees C. [*]Attach the hot Test Tube, two Honeycombs, and sterilized empty Honey Pot to the hive. [*]Hold the Honeycomb Dipper. [*]Use the Make Honey Water action. [*]Attach the resulting Honeywater-filled Pot to the hive. [*]Hold the HoneyWine Bottle. [*]Use the Fill Honeywine action. [/olist]

Important: The hive must contain bees during every production action.

Server Information

Configuration

Configuration generates automatically after first server start:

$profile:\RaG_Core\Configs\RaG_Beehive\RaG_Beehive.json

Default configuration:

{
    "Version": 1,
    "GetFrameFillTime": 60.0,
    "GetSmokedStateTime": 5,
    "GetChanceForBeesToStay": 50,
    "GetChanceToFarmBeeTrap": 10
}

Settings:

• GetFrameFillTime - Minutes required to fill each attached frame.
• GetSmokedStateTime - Minutes that a smoked hive remains harmless.
• GetChanceForBeesToStay - Percentage chance that added bees remain.
• GetChanceToFarmBeeTrap - Percentage chance of finding a Bee Trap.

Use values from 0-100 for percentage settings.

Restart the server after changing configuration.

Server owners must add desired Beehive items to their economy, trader, or other spawning system.

Troubleshooting

Action not appearing? Check these first:

• Hive still contains bees.
• Item is attached to the correct Honey Crafting slot.
• Required Spatula, Dipper, Bee Trap, or HoneyWine Bottle is in your hands.
• Honey Pot is empty and sterilized.
• Test Tube contains at least 1,900 ml.
• Test Tube temperature is at least 95 degrees C.
