Your Pack Version

2.7.0-beta-2(2024-09-29)

Your Proposal

The platinum grain bee in the newer versions now gives PMP as a result of its grains instead of the elementally pure platinum dust it used to give, the grain result should be changed back to elementally pure platinum dust.

Your Goal

As it stands grain bees with their lack of foundation requirement seem to be in place to allow people to get small amounts of resources without already having them, the platinum grain bee comb has a drop chance of 1% which means that it takes a long time to get 4 combs even with a maxed alveary at which point you get 2 PMP dust which is useless for the time you spend waiting. The regular GT version of the bee far outshadows this as it has a much higher output rate and lets you skip the first step of the platline replacing the need for PMP but requires an established platline. the platinum grain bee should be instead balanced for late mv/early hv and in order to make the bee worth it, you need to be able to receive pure platinum dust from the grains.

Your Vision

By having the bee give elementally pure dust at a low rate it allows players to be able to get a few SMD diodes early on but when they start to need more platinum group materials the bee will rapidly lose power in favor of the regular platinum bee which can contribute to the platline thus smoothing out the difficulty curve compared to the current where there is a big drop in the difficulty of circuit crafting once you have a source of platinum to replace regular diodes with SMD diodes.

Final Checklist

• I have searched this issue tracker and there is nothing similar already. Posting on a closed issue saying I like this change please reconsider adding it will prompt us to investigate and reopen it once we confirm your report.
• I understand this change request may not attract enough attention and thus not be implemented.
• I understand this change request may be rejected due to other community members think it's inappropriate.
• I believe this feature would make the pack better.

The grain bee should just be removed imo. No need for two platinum bees. You can already make platinum from pmpd in the ebf, and the other platinum bee already gives platinum nuggets.
