Pica finished all the sprites for one of the roadmap items, so I'm taking a break from working on the website to do some actual game development! Check out the first new type of scrounge you'll be able to find on the island after we return from hiatus: honeycomb! Honeycomb is tasty food scrounge raw (yep, just chomp down on the comb, it's all edible!), but it really shines when introduced to a brewer. They can press out the honey from the wax, turning them into two separate items; this will look different when the cooking overhaul is done, but for now the craft for honey simply produces beeswax alongside. Beeswax can be put in a bowl to turn it into regular wax for crafting; it may also have other uses down the road.

Obviously, honey has had a prominent spot on the roadmap for a while so this should come as no surprise, and it's also not a secret that you won't have to rely on uncommon honeycomb scrounging spots to find it. Cultivating your own apiaries and passively collecting honeycomb starts with investing points in the new Husbandry skill, which will also be expanded in the future to allow you to care for other kinds of insect pets. The exact details for starting and managing apiaries you'll have to find out in game for yourselves, but you'll need a beehive and some hive boxes from a woodworker. Caring for your colonies is going to be challenging, so good luck! Feel free to speculate on how it's all going to work while I finish up the logic and cross this off the list.
