Simple Beehive

{{Building
| name = Simple Beehive
| image = apiary.png
| location = [[Outside]]
| size = 1 × 1
| requirements =
* [[requires::Beekeeping]]
| material1 = [[requires::Boards]]
| qty1 = 8
| material2 = [[requires::Linen]]
| qty2 = 1
}}

A '''Simple Beehive''' (formerly Simple Apiary) allows you to keep bees, which produce [[Honey]] and [[Beeswax]].

==Sources==
This building becomes available after you have learned {{RequireSkill | Beekeeping | 0}}.

==Cost==
*8 [[requires::Boards]]
*1 [[requires::Linen]]

==Use==
When building Simple Beehives, try to set them up away from other buildings, including other hives.

When first built, the Simple Beehive is empty and must attract a queen bee before it begins producing. After you have confirmed that a queen has arrived in the apiary, it will start getting bees over the course of several hours, to a maximum of 1000.
* Important: After you attract a queen, you need to check again a little later when the hive has at least 1 bee in it. The hive will not produce any [[Honey]] or [[Beeswax]] until you do this.
* Note: on occasion, a hive will, for whatever reason, fail to attract a queen. If several days go by without a queen arriving, one can either continue to try or tear down the hive and rebuild it.

After you have checked it for the first time, wait approximately 16 hours for first full 10 [[produces::Honey]]/[[produces::Beeswax]]. After this you can collect about every 7 hours.

Simple Beehive production caps at 10 [[Honey]] and 10 [[Beeswax]]. If there are already 10 of each when you check, they will be replaced with the new harvest and will not increase. However, if you didn't take the honey/beeswax from the last check, take the contents of the hive, '''then''' check, the hive will fill with the new hive production.

Simple Beehives can hold up to 1000 bees. When harvested, the Simple Beehive will lose half its bees, slowing production time of the next batch.
* As your [[speed]] stat increases, you will begin getting the following message on some harvests: "Due to your quick Speed checking, no bees escaped,"
* Because of this, the hive will require less time before another 10 [[Honey]]/[[Beeswax]] are produced.
* The higher your speed,the more frequently this message will appear.

With the skill [[Beekeeping 1]] or higher, you can also capture [[Queen Bee]]s. This is done from "Utility->Destroy this nest and attempt to capture the Queen bee".
This will destroy your Simple Beehive and you will not get any materials back. Higher Speed gives a better chance at capturing.
'''NOTE: When a Queen Bee is captured, a message is shown saying 'A Queen outside of a hive might only survive an hour.' '''

Simple Beehives are visible and audible to a range of 32 coordinates.

== Attracting a Queen ==
Malard shared the code for determining the chances of any particular Beehive attracting a queen on 6/5/2021:<syntaxhighlight lang="csharp">
var SC = max(2, (length(ScanRadiusXY(240, Apiary, xPos(Place), yPos(Place)))-1*2) + length(ScanRadiusXY(240,Physical,xPos(Place),yPos(Place))) - length(ScanRadiusXY(240,Plant,xPos(Place),yPos(Place))) - length(ScanRadiusXY(240,Oasis,xPos(Place),yPos(Place))));
</syntaxhighlight>

== Tips and tricks ==
* The "/crowd" command from previous tales is no longer available
* Building a lot of Simple Beehives packed together will slow down the attraction of queens, the growth of bees and the production of honey and beeswax terribly
* Spreading Simple Beehives out too far will mean a lot of running
* Grass seems better than sand for attracting queens
* A speed of 22 will prevent any loss of bees
* Starting with a line, or grid, with Simple Beehives 2-3 coords apart, on grass, with plants or trees nearby, will ensure new queens for most Simple Beehives during the first day, then you can build new Simple Beehives in between as queens arrive in the built ones.

Mira: Added dot on map

<noinclude>
The Stranger's '''University of Progress''' is located in three remote locations and allows the citizenry of Egypt to demonstrate Tests to be opened. Take care, though, as the Stranger is wily and not to be trusted. (Choose wisely when you decide to demonstrate a test.) Note: This refers only to the 7-day timer between test unlocks, and *not* to any limits on the number of Tests that can be opened in total.

To demonstrate tests, one must meet the level and materiel demonstration requirements. Each location has a seven-day timer once a test is unlocked.

This is also the place where one can request to participate in the [[Ultimate Challenges]].

The University of Progress is located at Arabia: 5030, 3285

Hyksos obelisk queue

2021-06-01T00:14:00Z

Mira: Cleaned up T10 stuff, added myself on desert

'''PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL QUEUES ARE COMPLETELY OPTIONAL. If you want to build your 20 cubit high obelisk out of the queue sequence nobody will stop you'''

'''PLEASE FOLLOW THE DISCUSSION IN HYKSOS FACTION CHANNEL THANKS! FOR THE GOOD OF ALL.'''

*The [[Test of the Obelisk]] requires that you build the largest Obelisk of its kind for the Hyksos.

*You must exceed the current largest Obelisk by at least a single cubit.

*Also, you must retain the title of largest Obelisk that The Hyksos has ever controlled for at least 2 days 8 hours (for a desert Obelisk.) while remaining inside the Hyksos territory.

*For each additional region The Hyksos has the support of when the Obelisk is constructed, this time is reduced by 1 hours 7 minutes 12 seconds (again for a Desert Obelisk.)
