Apiary Map
alaindustrial:apiary_map
Summary
The Apiary Map is a paper map-list on which the beekeeper writes down their hives. It holds up to eight Hive Attachments. The map is inserted into an Apiary Station, and the station's drones serve exactly the hives written on it. The map neither stores nor spends energy.
Mini-example. Take the map, walk around the apiary and right-click each attachment — the chat shows "Written on the map: 3 of 8". Right-clicking in the air opens the list. Insert the map into the station.
Usage
Rules for writing and editing (adopted 2026-11-07):
| Action | What happens |
|---|---|
| Right-click an attachment with the map | the attachment is written down; one already written — the message "Already on the map", no duplicate |
| Right-click an attachment with a full map | refused: "The map is full: 8 attachments" — a ninth is not written down |
| Shift+right-click an attachment with the map | the entry is crossed out; if the attachment is not on the map — the message "This attachment is not on the map" |
| Right-click in the air | a screen with the list of entries and a "Cross out" button on each row |
| Right-click another block | nothing |
An entry stores the attachment's coordinates and dimension. A station serves only attachments in its own dimension; the rest it shows with the line "other dim.". One attachment can be written on several maps: two stations do not quarrel — before docking, the drone checks the hive again, and the one that comes too late returns empty, spending no energy.
Interface
The map's screen is a list of up to eight rows: number, coordinates, dimension (its own dimension — no label, another one — a line with that dimension's name) and a "Cross out" button on each row. An empty map shows a hint on how to write down an attachment. The map does not know what is in the hive right now (the hive may be in an unloaded chunk) the honey level and the distance are shown by the screen of the station the map is inserted into.
Item properties
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Stack | 1 |
| Data | a list of up to 8 positions with their dimension (an item data component) |
| Empty and filled | one and the same item; the tooltip shows "Attachments: N of 8" |
Recipes
On a crafting table, shapeless: paper ×3 and a honeycomb. The recipe unlocks when the player has a honeycomb.
Progression
- Needed at the same time as the Apiary Station and the attachments; useless without the station.
