From Golden Combs is a Vintage Story mod by Vinter_Nacht and Huldra_Nacht. From Golden Combs expands Vintage Story beekeeping with ceramic and Langstroth hives, reusable frames, pollination, and adjustable production.
Why this mod is worth installing
It suits players who want renewable honey and wax production without repeatedly rebuilding hives. It is also useful for farms that need a configurable pollination bonus.
What From Golden Combs adds
The mod adds ceramic hives and Langstroth systems alongside the familiar skep. Ceramic versions support repeatable harvesting with honey pots, while Langstroth hives use removable frames, bases, brood boxes, and supers for a more expandable apiary.
Langstroth parts can be combined in a wide range of colors, and bee frames have their own color choices. Frame racks help prepare, harvest, and repair frames, while populated skeps can be used to establish colonies in the new hive types.
Bee activity responds to temperature within a configurable tolerance. Production is based on average conditions over several days, reducing the impact of brief weather changes, and honey generation rates can be adjusted for each hive family.
Hives also accumulate pollination charges. Harvesting ripe fruit, berries, flowers, and crops nearby can consume a charge for increased drops; the bonus depends on the hive type, while grains such as rye, spelt, and rice remain unaffected.
