Can't breed the steel bee according to its specification

[combusterf]

Which modpack version are you using?

2.1.1.0 #

If in multiplayer; On which server does this happen?

Delta #

What did you try to do, and what did you expect to happen?

I tried breeding steel bees from coal and iron bees in a hot biome #

What happened instead? (Attach screenshots if needed)

Despite running with mutagenic frames (which would bump the mutation chance to 250% for guaranteed purebreds) the steel species never appeared. Since the oasis biome (200% temperature, 30% humidity) wasn't a vanilla biome I tried a desert (200% temperature, 0% humidity) to no avail.

I tried the first hot biome in singleplayer that I could find (Brushland; 119% temperature 10% humidity), and steel bees appeared as expected there.

In all cases, the IC2 steel "refined iron block" was used as the foundation.

#

What do you suggest instead/what changes do you propose?

• Please make sure the tooltip matches the breeding behaviour.
• optional: localise the ic2.blockMetalAdvIron reference in the tooltip. #

Is this still a problem?

I have the same issue but with tin bee's. It doesn't need a specific biome but it does need a foundation block ic2.blockMetalTin ant I'm using the IC2 Tin block. I do agree that localizing this would be a big help.

To note, I am able to breed copper/clay bee's.

since we have all bee mods fork we can change this more easy.

Chiming in to say ran into this in SP as well. Tried different amounts of heaters on an alveary while still keeping it as a Hot climate, didn't do anything to adjust humidity. Did the same biome thing as @combusterf (brushland, 119% temperature / 10% humidity) and had success there.

[MathieuDR]

So do you think this is an issue with the biomes not being 100% correct, since it work in brushlands? Would be nice if someone would look into this.

[rv-jgentile]

imho, and I'm just some guy, it seems the issue here is just the tooltip not being super descriptive (ic2.blockMetalAdvIron vs something readable like ic2 steel block). The issue with breeding itself seems more likely from issue 8387, which was a duplicate of 7297.

I had the same problem with ruby bees. Turned out, I used the wrong bee. Some species like diamond have 2 types of bees
