Welcome to Firmalife v3.0.0 for 1.21.1. Thank you to our contributors @Charnuz and Dodo. Many systems have seen changes in this version. Please read below for an incomplete changelog:
### Bees
### Ovens
### Kegs
### Greenhouses
### Cellars
### Herbs, Spices, Food
And much more not listed here! Thanks, and happy cooking! -@eerussianguy
### Bees
- Bees are much more temperature sensitive, becoming inactive below 14°C by default.
- Bees require honey to survive. During cold temperatures, bees will need to consume honey.
- Bees can be fed honey manually by adding honey or sugar to frames.
- Insulating beehive frames can be crafted to keep bees warmer in the winter.
- Scraping beehive frames only produces beeswax. They must be processed in a Centrifuge to get honey.
- Jars are not required to obtain honey, however they are required for it to be preserved indefinitely. Jars contain 4 raw honey.
- Bee queens are no longer 1 per frame, they are 1 per hive. Instead, frames contain honey and beeswax.
- Bees now reproduce via swarming. Healthy beehives that have honey will split into multiple hives if the conditions are correct.
- Added Skeps, small hives only capable of producing 1 honey at a time. Skeps can attract bees from wild beehives, as well as be picked up and moved.
- Wild honeycomb, and the (crafted) aromatic honeycomb can be used to attract wild bees to a skep in lieu of finding wild bees.
- Bees now have species, these species determine the traits they get.
- All genetic diseases and parasitic infections are now obtainable. Genetic diseases prevent reproduction, and infections prevent honey production.
- Added the Infection Resistance attribute.
- Beehives can no longer touch other blocks besides the block below them.
- Nerfed the rate at which honey is produced and de-emphasized flower count for production requirements.
- Added Bee Species. These are local to various climates and determine the traits obtained from wild bees.
### Ovens
- Added insulated top ovens.
- Renamed registry entries and localizations of ovens in order to be more predictable and make more sense.
- When removing items from an oven, the game will attempt to stack them regardless of heat and creation date.
- Stovetop pots can now perform regular pot recipes instead of just soup recipes.
- Added comparator functionality to ovens, in case for some reason you wanted that.
- Added Jade info to Stovetop Pots.
- Redid all oven textures.
- Added Tile Bricks.
- Reconfigured some oven finish recipes.
### Kegs
- Renamed big barrels to kegs internally.
- Kegs can now perform barrel recipes. This feature is highly complex and experimental.
- Kegs now expose their fluid and item handler on all sides (they now work with pipes and hoppers in the way you might expect).
### Greenhouses
- Planters now use TFC's nutrient system, and thus nutrients are now much more complex inside of planters.
- Internally reworked the growth system and rates of the planter system. This will likely not feel very different to players.
- Updated the overall look of greenhouses, especially panel greenhouses, to be cleaner.
- Made greenhouse item tooltips more helpful.
### Cellars
- Renamed many sealed brick related blocks to be more consistent and easier to search up.
### Herbs, Spices, Food
- All herbs now have a use. A few new meals have been added to give these a use.
- Cinnamon has been removed for now, since it was unobtainable.
- Seed balls and butterfly grass have been removed.
- All herbs now spawn in the wild.
And much more not listed here! Thanks, and happy cooking! -@eerussianguy
