I was wondering if it is possible to turn a forest princess into a modest princess bu any chance. On the server that i play on all of the princesses are gone but i have some modest drones. :D

It is possible, but to do so you need to keep breeding that princess with pure modest drones until she's also a pure modest princess. So you'll need a lot of modest drones to do that (and chances are you'll get Common bees along the way because you'll be mixing 2 mundane types, eventually the princess will become a pure modest though).

If you have Extra Bees you can also use the machinery it adds to change her type, but that will require a lot of liquid DNA (which is made from bees, so if you don't have many bees that isn't really an option).

I don't really understand though, how can all the modest princesses be gone? Surely you can just explore further than anyone else has ever done and get new drones/princesses from there? Or else you'd say someone should have a princess or 2 somewhere that you can borrow to create more drones.

I would talk to the server mod or op. They should be able to set up a trade o mat or some way to get finite resources.

Bee hives respawn, and there are ways (sequencer) but you'd need a modest princess to sample to start. It's really easier to breed them normally.

You can set up an automatic bee system where one modest princess/drone pair are continuously mating. Extra drones then get fed off to breed with the princess you want to turn into a modest bee. It doesn't take that long and you don't have to think too much about it either!
