What matters in play
Passive hives produce honey and can support selected nearby field crops.
Exact prices, yields, capacities and cycle rates can change by patch, economy difficulty, map and mods. This page publishes the stable workflow and labels every current-content boundary.
What you need before starting
- 01
Housing or pasture that supports the animal
- 02
No feed required
- 03
Collection or transport plan for Honey pallets; nearby yield support for canola, sunflowers and potatoes
Chronological workflow
- Step 1Place or select suitable housing and confirm whether water is automatic or manual.
- Step 2Secure the feed loop before buying animals: No feed required.
- Step 3Allow animals to mature, maintain health/productivity and leave free capacity for reproduction.
- Step 4Collect or route Honey pallets; nearby yield support for canola, sunflowers and potatoes; keep collection and pallet areas clear.
Decisions that change the result
- Place hives near supported crops and keep the honey pallet area accessible
- Buying feed can start production quickly, but a home-grown feed loop reduces recurring logistics.
- Separate animal capacity from output-storage capacity; either can become the bottleneck.
When the workflow is not working
No product appears
Check age, accepted feed, health/productivity and the Honey pallets; nearby yield support for canola, sunflowers and potatoes collection area in that order.
Reproduction is stopped
Confirm the animals are mature, productive and the pen has free capacity.
Pallets are not spawning
Clear the marked spawn area and check the save/platform pallet limit; reproduce without mods before reporting a game-wide bug.
