Taming the Honeycomb: A Raft Survival Guide

Ahoy, Raft survivor! You’ve braved the sharks, built your floating paradise, and now you’re staring at a pile of honeycomb. But what in the wide ocean are you supposed to do with it? Fear not, because this guide will make you a honeycomb connoisseur in no time. The primary use of honeycomb in Raft is to craft Honey. You’ll need six honeycombs and one glass to produce two jars of honey. It’s the key to sweeter survival!

Unlocking Honeycomb’s Potential

Honeycombs are a valuable resource, and here’s how to get the most out of them:

• Crafting Honey: This is the main purpose. The crafting recipe is 6 honeycombs + 1 Glass = 2 Honey.
• Honey as a Resource: Honey can be used to create biofuel.

From Bee Swarm to Sweet Reward

First, you need to catch a Bee Swarm using a Sweep Net on an Evergreen Biome island. These islands are distinct and not too hard to find. Wield your net, approach carefully, and scoop them up! Be mindful that these angry bees will deal a little damage while you catch them. You’ll get four or five Bee Jars per successful catch.

Next, you’ll need to build a Beehive. The blueprint becomes available after catching your first Bee Swarm. Place it on your raft directly adjacent to a Crop Plot filled with Flowers. The flowers are the fuel that keeps your bees buzzing and producing those precious honeycombs.

Honeycombs are harvested periodically from the Beehive. The frequency depends on how well-fed your bees are – that is, how many flowers they have access to.

Maximizing Honeycomb Production

For optimal honeycomb production, you need to understand the relationship between flowers and beehives.

• Minimum Flowers: A single honeycomb production needs at least three flowers.
• Optimal Flower Setup: You’ll need 6 flowers to produce 2 honeycombs, and 12 to produce 3.
• Crop Plot Choice: Four small crop plots or three advanced crop plots are the most efficient configuration to maximize flowers in a small space near your beehive.

Honey Uses

Now that you’re rolling in honey, let’s put it to good use.

Biofuel Creation

Honey can be used to create biofuel and keep your raft sailing through the oceans.

Honeycomb FAQs

Here are some frequently asked questions about honeycombs, bee related, and honey to further your knowledge:

1. How do I get a Bee Jar in Raft?

You get Bee Jars by catching Bee Swarms with a Sweep Net. Each successful catch yields four to five Bee Jars.

2. Can I build my own beehive in Raft?

Yes! You can build a Beehive once you’ve caught your first Bee Swarm. The blueprint unlocks automatically.

3. Do Bee Swarms respawn in Raft?

No, Bee Swarms do not respawn. Once you’ve caught them all on an island, that’s it.

4. How do I turn Honeycomb into Honey in Raft?

You need a Cooking Pot. Combine six Honeycombs and one Glass in the pot to create two Jars of Honey.

5. What is the best setup for a Beehive in Raft?

The best setup involves placing the Beehive directly adjacent to Crop Plots filled with Flowers. Aim for at least three flowers per honeycomb you want to produce. Four small or three advanced crop plots are the best choices.

6. How many flowers does a Beehive need in Raft?

A Beehive needs at least three flowers to produce one honeycomb unit. Six flowers are needed for two honeycombs, and twelve flowers for three honeycombs.

7. How do you make a Honey Jar in Raft?

You do not craft a Honey Jar you obtain Bee Jars by capturing a Bee Swarm, then use the Bee Jar to craft a Beehive. You can then make Honey in a Cooking Pot when you have a honeycomb using 6 honeycombs + 1 Glass = 2 Honey.

8. Is it worth having a Beehive in Raft?

Absolutely! A Beehive provides a renewable source of Honeycombs, which can be crafted into Honey for sustenance or Biofuel for your engines.

9. Why aren’t my bees producing honeycomb?

Make sure your Beehive is placed directly adjacent to Crop Plots filled with Flowers. Ensure there are enough flowers; aim for at least three per desired honeycomb unit.

10. What can I use Honey for besides eating it?

Besides eating it for sustenance, Honey is a key ingredient in crafting Biofuel.

11. What flowers are the best for my bees?

Any flower type works the same.

12. How do you get biofuel in raft?

After collecting honey you can put it in the biofuel refiner.

13. Can seagulls eat my flowers and impact honeycomb production?

Yes, Seagulls do eat crops, so it is recommended to keep them away from your raft using a scarecrow.

14. How do you automate Honeycomb production?

Unfortunately you cannot automate honeycomb production, but with proper crop placements, you don’t need to go there too often.

15. How do I get glass in raft?

You can acquire glass by smelting sand in a smelter.
