I'm not sure why, but when I bought a Queen Bee, I immediately got a notification of my queen bee dying, my number of queens dropped to 0, but is still producing pupae, and I just can't produce royal jelly anymore, no matter how many I buy. I've bought up to 200 nurse bees just to see, but my RJ isn't increasing at all. Am I missing something?

developer response: Chances are that was because you ran out of royal jelly, which requires pollen from nurse bees, or you encountered a bug or something else weird :p
It's strange; I'll try to explain it more clearly.

unable to get pollen

developer response: I'm so sorry; this issue should be fixed now!

how can I get pollen? and also I can't set my education amount, they are fixed to 0

developer response: So sorry about that; there was an issue with the multipliers of this game, and that caused you to be unable to get pollen.

nah the queen bee death purgatory happened to me too
I had 1000 nurse bees and nothing

developer response: Maybe you ran out of royal jelly, which requires pollen from nurse bees? Sorry about it not being clear enough. (More likely, you encountered a rather silly issue with bee calculations)

looks very much like atomic star

developer response: 🤔🤔 i wonder how that happened

If your queen bee dies (running out of royal jelly) you are unable to restart royal jelly production. I have 0 queen bees meaning no royal jelly being consumed, but pupae is continuing to increase and royal jelly is staying at 0 with 50 nurse bees and 160%ish production boost to nurse bees.

developer response: I'm not too sure why that is going on; by chance, do you not have enough pollen production or is something else going on? By chance, do you have your study amount too high?

The queen death situation seems like it ought to be a case of "run out of royal jelly, queen dies, there is weeping and gnashing of mandibles, and then there is suddenly more royal jelly as no one is eating it any more". Instead, what results is a horror story; a headless colony ruled by the dead-yet-undying zombee queen, endlessly hungry from having starved to death, her corpse still squirming with surprisingly-viable pupae that haunt the remains of the nest with the vain hope that the situation might some day improve, but there is no hope for the damned, for there will never again be any more royal jelly to be had, no matter how many nurses toil in vain to feed what cannot be sated.

More seriously... I'm certainly getting the same bug others are. How it happened was I had ~6000 royal jelly, not nearly enough nurses to feed a queen (not that I knew what that amount was at the time), so when I bought my first queen, she starved to death within a few days, showing 0 queens thereafter... but the "queens are starving" message never went away. Somehow, new pupae were still being produced, and all new royal jelly was being eaten. Despite the nominal advantages of an immortal queen producing 'free' pupae, this seems to be a hardlock, since after the queen dies like that, you simply can't get more royal jelly. This seems true no matter how many nurses you buy (up to and including well into the hundreds or thousands, according to reports), and that lack prevents you from getting at any upgrades that requires a functioning nurse/queen economy.

I reset my game after a couple hundred nurses failed to improve things, and simply resolved to be exceptionally careful with the Royal Jelly supply going forward.

developer response: Ahh, I get it. The queen bee bug is due to a fractional amount of bees technically being able to exist; I'll just have to make it run a check less often and make it subtract integeric amounts then. Thanks! I'll look into the other issues at some point.

Same issue many others are having. Bought a queen bee, immediately ate all my royal jelly, and it's impossible to restart production. Really good pacing up to this point, shame that I'll likely have to reset. Really good work so far though, enjoyable up to queen bee, but one quick bug fix should really solidify it.

I got to a point where there is a research to unlock something about pollination in the gardening tab. I research it and nothing got added. I already had pollination points and pollination power, which seems to only be used to get more points.

Okay i figure out how to gain wood and fruit. I'm gaining wood but i need iron to produce fruits, and i still donìt know how to gain iron.

Honey production not enough, need more honey, need more royal jelly, queen bees are at 900 after reaching Endgame. Pupae cost/production may not be apparent. Not enough water for so many trees. Too much wood Not enough choppers. Chopper Price very high not enough honey. Upgrade 3 appears to be useless. So many flowers no flower press. Construction may be pointless. Education, Pollen, Gold, And Gems Seem To Be Balanced.

For early game I skipped queen bees and nurse bees their benefits seemingly were outweighed by their consumption, why slow down my progress for slight idle gains?
I was met by a wall being Royal Jelly Requirement. I begrudgingly bought nurse bees, their consumption was actually not bad, I purchased one queen bee, It was more or less useless at this point and so expensive.
Education Was very smooth, Although I just waited till I got every Education to check the changes out.
There was a slight wall to get enough honey for my first garden, I start to realize the problems with royal jelly here.
Getting my first sapling took awhile for some reason, I didn't get a tree until about 5 saplings. I was excited to see what I could do with the wood! unfortunately there was nothing.
Gold Was more or less a placeholder until I got enough fame To continue, It didn't increase my honey generation by much at all, So I was left to wait again.
In this time I decided to get...30,000 Bunny Farmers.
My first Iron Mine Took a long time, For the honey. I had a few hundred million wood by this point, just to discover there was nothing I could do with iron yet.
A long wait after, I reach my first fruit harvester, I had about 3 billion wood, 600 water sources/600 gardens by this point. Just trying to speed up the process somehow.
With a 600% boost to fruit production, I quite quickly unlocked the trades, Who knew iron Would no longer become an issue, with just one click I get 10x production!
Iron and fruit quickly reach the billions together, after all I had billions of wood gained while simply waiting that buying a hundred fruit harvesters was no issue.
The Water Sources and Gardens Are nothing important really, Of course you need a lot of water for your trees.
Pollination Points were now available! The first real increase in honey gains although short lived, considering I no longer need honey for anything!
The gem multiplier is just about useless since you'd rather use any other upgrade at this point.
1 Million nurse bees later... No increase in royal jelly, and hey those constructions stopped doing anything!
The Choppers are too expensive, while they are so much less effective than manually harvesting I pondered the reason for their existence.
Ah Crap, The Trees Drained All my water, now my honey production is even slower Should I go and get 50,000 more water sources for a temporary boost? I see no point, Choppers are cosmetic anyways!
1Q Pollen. I Reached The Pollinator, Oh It's pretty slow Looks like it wont be doing me much good, in-fact I would've been better off turning that pollen into pollination points...I have Some Regrets At This Point.
Oh Hey 1 Million Gold, And Some Pointless Boost to my gem production which isn't doing anything good for me at this point.

Honey Production is low, Royal Jelly Doesn't exist, My bees do not increase due to low pupae productions, which I cannot increase since there is no royal jelly.
There isn't enough water sources, if you get too many trees your progress becomes 5-10x slower until you get more water. Mass deforestation speed needs to be increased.
Can we Get actual Forager Bee Production Increases instead of Honey conversion speed!??
When Can I construct Houses from Gems or Gold?

No way to gain Pollen, unless you reset data save up a but load of honeycombs then hold the buy button u can do it that way >_>

So you just reskinned the clock game with bees. Okay.

developer response: i find it ironic how you say that every time when ttc literally uses a completely different backend
this is like saying "both games have buttons and icons, so they're the same!"

to be fair, atomic star and fishing inc are a different story and i took the backend code from fishing inc and repolished it some more; i kind of regret making fishing inc, BUT the concepts are still quite different and i try to make each one unique (if you actually played the game, you'll know the progression mechanics are more complex)

elephant water trade doesn't seem to be faster beyond being able to do it and the bear trade at the same time... is it supposed to be for more than one water source at the same time like the soil trade?

developer response: It was intended to be faster; I kind of forgot to change the speed, so sorry about that. I'll get this fixed!

so i have unlocked the hive upgrades, but i don't seem to find them anywhere

developer response: They are in the Construction and Trade tab; i should have made this more clear.
