How is your start of the world doing so far?

the bee skeps that can't be built anymore without dealing with the wild bees first, and after you built them even your domesticated bees still sting you every time you try to harvest them,

As a new player this has to be my biggest gripe so far. I ended up giving up trying to raid wild hives and just bought the larvae, as it simply wasn't worth the effort.

Like I'm not super fond of it, but the answer is to not deal with them. Find a hive with no guard bees spawned, try to raid it. Bees come out? Nope, walk away (well boat or horse). Repeat until you get larvae, it does happen eventually.

My world start is going ok, but the hunger system is killing me since I'm doing mining.

Pretty much the same as last world with more inconveniences

lol, yeah kinda that.

bee skeps were a cunt to get going. mining is a lot slower to get off the ground properly, early stat grinds felt a bit more painful to me.

But the few of us playing this world from our group (literally down to 2 of us now) have a nice little interestingly laid out base, industries coming into swing... it's getting there for me, just a bit of a slower initial burn than I've come to expect.

I tried that for several days. I must have been suuuper unlucky though because not a single one didn't spawn bees. At one point, a single hive spat out over a dozen swarms. Was easier and much less effort just to get some stuff together to trade for it.

The moskitoes, the bee skeps that can't be built anymore without dealing with the wild bees first, and after you built them even your domesticated bees still sting you every time you try to harvest them, the changes to mining, everything done to make botting and alting the only way to survive to the game, all these showed me W11 will be the hardest world I ever played. And I must play this world not as a developer's help to get the game to beta, but literally against their will while they try to persuade everyone to give up the game.

Oh agreed, it's an unsatisfying and RNG as heck mechanic atm. But I've managed to raid about 2 skeps worth so far. 3rd skep came from larvae I harvested from skeps so it's rolling painfully slowly.

Bees are a crowd source venture this world. You need a crowd to source any at all.

I didn't play for 2 years and skipped most of world 10, so I've just been reacquainting myself with the game and learning everything added during my break. I've just been a hermit, so the pace is slow, but I've been enjoying it.

Every world I play is better and better and this one is no exception.

Despite some notable frustrations I'm fully in agreement. Little things like animals being automatically shooed when you enter a gate are just great QoL additions to the game.

Keep up the good work jorb & loftar. It's not perfect but I still love it after 8 years and it's definitely getting better.
