Where is my beehive

Post by ablebaker »

I purchased a beehive but was confused by the placement window so attempted to cancel the purchase. The game went and placed it somewhere but I can't find it. It does not show up on the map. So I purchase a 2nd beehive and placed it near the farmhouse. I looked in the vehicles.xml, and it shows the following:

<item className="BeehivePlaceable" filename="data/placeables/beehive/beehive.xml" position="-21.544860839844 127.72212982178 24.234130859375" rotation="0 0 0"/>

<item className="BeehivePlaceable" filename="data/placeables/beehive/beehive.xml" position="-587.400390625 70.780670166016 -905.62268066406" rotation="0 0 0"/>

I moved my character to the 2nd beehive and the PDA shows the numbers: 1001, 1053

So my questions are:

1. How do I find my 1st beehive?
2. How are the coordinates in the XML file related to the numbers on the PDA?
3. How do a sell a beehive? The "sell" command just seems to bring up the same placement window.

2) I assume the coords in the file relate to placement, but I don't know exactly how. Maybe place three tractors of different types in an L shape and then check the file and compare numbers, so you can learn which why the grid #s mean - and use that to find your beehive.

2) or you can just look for the beehive using the overhead -- click the Sell button on beehives and just move the cursor to pan the camera around til you find it.

3) Once you find the beehive you want to sell, after clicking the Sell button - click the beehive from the overhead view and it will be gone. Much the same as clicking a spot on the Buy overhead placed it there.

Backup your XML file. Remove the line(s) and refund the cost.

place a tractor at wherever the missing behive is using the same numbers as the hive, tab to it, look on your PDA map and see where you are.

Thank you for all the suggestions. I found that if I add 1024 to the numbers in the XML file then I get the numbers shown on the PDA. The beehive was in the canal that is north of the Port. Not floating though - it was underwater! I wonder if the hive is productive underwater? The Sell suggestion by Top Soil worked fine - even underwater.
