Beekeeping Guide. Yay or nay?

[Exedra]

I am planning on making a beekeeper guide here, with a list of all the bees, how to get them, their products, frames, ect. ect. Would you guys like this?

 

[Abdiel]

There are certainly people who would like it, and if you put a big SPOILERS warning on top, people who wouldn't would certainly have the sense to skip it.

 

[Exedra]

Alrighty, remember everyone to vote in the poll. I guess I'll have to clearly label what is extra bees only.

I would agree with the spoiler thing. I like the fun of exploring the details of things like Bees on my own. But do dip into threads about them when I'm looking for basic info a complete X + Y = Z for the whole family of bees would be a huge deal breaker for me.

 

[Exedra]

You mean like this?

[SPOILERS]

Edit: Probably bigger. I'm on iPhone so I don't get advanced poster.

 

[Florastar]

You can also do "this thread contains spoilers at the top"
and, you can also use "

[spoiler][/spoiler]

" for each line of trees. Like....

Common Line

Spoiler

BLAH BLAH BLAH

It'll make the thread look nice as well.

Na thats good. But I think he means in the threads title. Heck just to be safe might want to put it in the first post to. That way no one can say they did not see it. Ok people will still say that but they would be derps.

Oh my god florastar responded to my thread. My life is complete. Anyway, thanks flora, keep on derping in forestry beta, I love it.

 

[Exedra]

Thanks. It will basically be.

All the lines of bees, with details on how to get them and what combs they make.

Then all the extra bees, how toget them, and what materials they make.

Then I'll list all combs and products, an with that, which bees make them, and what you can use them for.

if thaumic bees are added, then will you do a guide for them too?

 

[Atdiy]

The vote is quite telling . I'd be willing to help out with this endeavor!

 

[Zmaster27]

Well you got to start braking seals sooner or later. Armageddon has to start somewhere.

Oh yeah. Hell, I'll do all the bee mods. Hell, I'LL MAKE ONES AND DOCUMENT THEM.

On a serious note, of anyone sees any bee addition mods, PM me.

I would suggest breaking it down into sections.

One section shows what type of bee produces what product, so if someone just wants to know what type of bee they should be looking/breeding for, they can find out easily, without being spoilt on how to actually get that bee.
The other section to show how you breed those particular types of bees, and an intro to this section giving the mechanics of bee breeding, with bee specific breeding contained within a sub-spoiler.

Thus you cater for everyone, those that just need a quick hint, to those that need a full guide.

 

[slay_mithos]

If I can ask something, it would be:
Please, don't make some lame guide as most that are on forums.

What I mean is that if you want a great guide, it has to be at least to the level of the old guide that was at hexflower.com/ (no longer online though).

I know it demands work, but I don't see the use of just yet an otehr copy of the lame guides we find on MC forum or IC2.

I already mentioned, there will be a bee products section, which lists what bees make them.

Also, whoever voted no, you could at least have the guts to say why not.

Hey, just a suggestion:

It would be cool if instead of a guide you made a wiki perhaps? Wikis can be edited by whoever you choose, and they have searching capabilities, linking, etc.

A guide is a document that explain hows to do things, but your actually giving info about the bees and their products, thats more the field of a wiki of some sort.

Hmm, I might just make a wiki instead, and might gather up a few people to help make it. Also ICountFrom0, I'll inform you when it's complete.

 

[Florastar]

Did I mention that I like you? Less work for me.

On a serious note though, if you want any help, proofreading, whatnot, don't be afraid to send me a message.
