it's your game and you should decide how to enjoy it on your own terms.

The best solution would be if the game had a configuration for honey production but since that isn't an option. There are a few quirks with the underlying game engine like the one you've run in to, no matter what settings you use the game is going to make it hard to manufacture your own honey unless you're willing to expend a lot of time up front to get more queen bees or tame a good dire bear and constantly make honey runs. This is, after all, a leisure time activity that's supposed to be fun. The beauty of all the modes other than Official are that they allow you to choose how you want to play the game (so that you can prevent the game from playing you). Every mode of ark has it's own advantages and disadvantages (Official, Unofficial, single-player, non-dedicated). This sounds to me like a good example of when you might want to use admin commands. If you want to tame more queens you should, but if you don't want to be forced to do that, you shouldn't be forced to. Considering that you have the ability to configure harvesting amounts, taming speeds, experience per level, duration of night & day, and a bunch of other stuff there's no reason why honey should be a bottleneck just because it lacks a config option.īut, of course, the answer to this is (and should be) based on personal preferences. While it's understandable that WC hasn't added a config option for honey, there's no reason that you should let that limit your ability to have honey when you need it. Personally, if I were in your shoes I would make myself keep the two hives stocked with flowers so that they're always active, and then spawn in any extra honey that you need since the game makes it so slowly. Taming more queens, using a bear, spawning in honey - all three are equally valid answers, it just depends on your personal preferences for whether you're willing to let the game cause you to spend time as the result of lacking a config option for honey making.

This sounds to me like a good example of when you might want to use admin commands.Įvery mode of ark has it's own advantages and disadvantages (Official, Unofficial, single-player, non-dedicated). Gotta tame two up of different sex's of each to then breed for the imprint.I usually like to "keep" 100 kibble on standby at all times, and right now Iv only got 23. =/īut I just spent 8 hours playing around in the ocean, so it pushed a lil for us.Īnd Im trying to get max tames for the boss fights now, so the kibble is for the rex's, yuties, thylacoleo for the caves, ect. Its literally only producing when I am playing. Nothing is produced, nodes are not respawning, ect. In the meantime when I go to bed, everything pauses. So just one nights sleep and your getting anywhere from 10-20 honey's per hive. Well, the thing is after thinking about it, the hives are producing honey over night for you guys. Of course this depends on just how much kibble or veggie cakes you're making I guess. I have 2 hives and just horde eggs in a fridge and when I'm waiting for imprints or something I make batches of kibble or veggie cakes. I find I have plenty of honey. I'm solo on a server and I don't find it too bad.
