Unleashed 1.1.3: Extra Bees - Why no Diurnal Serum?

[SmokeLuvr1971]

Looking through the remaining bee strains and seeing what other resources I could make renewable through the bee products. Noticed Shadow Combs yield Pulverized Obsidian so I started working the Shadow branch towards Abyssal bee. First step was Shadowed bee and I noticed this bee isn't Diurnal. I can't tell whether this is a freak mutation or the bee isn't diurnal by default due to a lack of posted info [tho I suspect the latter].

Without a diurnal serum type I'm forced to use the basic hit-or-miss bee mechanics and hope for a lucky carry-over. Just curious why Binnie didn't offer up a diurnal serum when adding bees that aren't diurnal by default?

The Nocturnal trait attainable as a serum is actually a "Nocturnal AND Diurnal" trait. The hidden "isNocturnal" trait found on a few bees is different from the Nocturnal trait and when those bees are given the Nocturnal trait, they will begin producing during the day.

Well, that's what I get for taking things at face value...thanks for sharing!

Yep, it's impressively unintuitive for an otherwise intuitive system. I only know because I lurk on forums and watch YouTube and streams too much.
