Crop, Fruit Tree, Berry Pollination
- Bee Hives will now accumulate "Crop Charges" over time. When a ripe crop block is broken (harvested) within range of a hive with charges, it will consume a charge and boost the drops. The amount of increase is based on the type of hive. Skeps do 10%, Ceramic Hives give 20%, Langstroth Hives give 30%. This number is configurable from within FGCServerConfig. (Many things are)
- The hives do not impact Rye, Spelt, and Rice, as bees do not pollinate grains. Flax and Amaranth are both flowers and thus do benefit from it; viva la linen!
- Hives with a Poor population will not generate charges, a Decent Population generates one charge per interval, and Large Populations generate two charges per interval.
- Every hive has a maximum number of charges they can hold and will not generate more beyond this value.
- As is tradition with my mods, all times are set for a 30-day month. However, they automatically adjust based on your daysPerMonth setting. With this in mind, hives have the following default values.
- Skeps
- Base Charges Per Day: 1 (2 if Hive is high population)
- Max Charges: 50
- Range: 5 Blocks (Covering an approximately 11x11 space centered on the hive)
- Default Crop Boost: 10%
-Ceramic Hives
- Base Charges Per Day: 2 (4 if Hive is HIgh Population)
- Max Charges: 100
- Range: 6 (Covering a 13x13 space centered on the hive)
- Default Crop Boost: 20%
- Langstroth Hives
- Base Charges Per Day: 3 (6 if Hive is High Population)
- Max Charges: 150

Compatibilities
Incompatibilities
- Wild Farming Partial Incompatibility: In an attempt to find the cause of an intermittent error, I found an unrelated one. Wild Farming is not compatible with the From Golden Combs pollination system.
When installed, the pollination counter on the hives does not decrease. I investigated enough to confirm that this was repeatable and reliable. I did not check to see if the pollination effect worked anyway.
