Just as in real life, when you make a recipe, you don’t use a whole jar of Honey or Sugar, just a few spoons.
All Recipes that were made with Honey are now made either with the new Honey, or with Sugar. For example, Jams are now made with Sugar Portions, as in real life, and Lemonades are made with Honey.
Each jar of Honey has 20 Honey Portions and each bag of White Sugar has 10 Sugar Portions.
You can see how many Portions you have by going to your Warehouse > Other tab. When the opened jar of Honey or bag of Sugar is empty, a new one will be opened automatically, so you don’t need to do anything.
Advantages
- pressure is relieved from the Clover pollination chain (Clover > Cow > Milk > Cheese), by making some recipes use Sugar instead of Honey
- Goats now eat Alfalfa so even less Clover has to be planted
- 20x less OP (for now), because the Beehives use OP only when they pick up the Honey. This event happens now 20 times less.
The New Honey and the Old Honey
To keep all the Honey that you’ve worked for, we have transformed it into the new Clover Honey, and the total number of Honey Portions you have are equal or more to what you had before. Example:
In this case, the Barn had 16,560 Honey that got transformed into 828 Clover Honey. These 828 Clover Honey jars EACH contain 20 Portions, so the total amount of Honey Portions is 16,560, the same as the Honey that was there previously.
Moreover 1 jar of the old Honey was valued at 5 Coins and the new Clover Honey is 100 Coins (because it contains 20 Portions) so 5 x 20 = 100, which again is the same price as before.
Another advantage is that you can use other types of Honey as well for recipes, not just Clover, since each type costs the same, 100 Coins.
How do I make Sugar?
The Sugar Mill transforms Sugar beets into nice crystals of Sugar. You can find it in the Shop > Gear tab.
Grow the new crop, Sugar Beets, to produce White Sugar.
