[Bug] Can't see bee hives in caves
Reproducibility : 100% on my End
Single/Multi/Dedicated : Dedicated Server
Hardware : 14900KF Intel - GeForce RTX 4090 AMP Extreme AIRO - 32GB RAM
Graphic Settings : All maxed out
As reported on Discord while playing on our dedicated server i can't see Bee Hives at all since the last patch.
The other player on his end can see them. Different Graphis Settings -> MEDIUM
Once the other player hit the Hive i can start seeing it.

Upon entering Prospect from lobby:
CAN mine voxels
CANNOT see cave beehives 99% of the time, can't damage/loot cave beehives the other 1%
If I exit the Prospect and re-enter before it returns to lobby:
CANNOT mine voxels
CAN see/damage/loot cave beehives
Files verified on DS/client. Didn't fix
Reinstalled all DS fresh. Didn't fix
Reinstalled game on PC. Didn't fix
Left OW Prospect and came back in on dropship. Didn't fix
Same results for all DS
(two DS are both G-Portal (one Dallas, one L.A.), one local PC DS) -

Yvan RielI also have the same problem. When I enter a cave, I can ear and see the bees. I get attacked by them but I can't see the hive so I can't destroy it and the bees keep coming. I can see the word "Bees" on the cave wall, and I can see them coming out of it. Other times I can stand in front of the wall where the "bees" word is, but they don't come out. So, I figure that the hive must have spawned inside the wall.

Peaceful JimI frequently have this problem. It's rarer for the hives to be visible, than not. The hives are definitely hidden behind the cave wall meshes. Sometimes the bees get stuck behind the cave wall, sometimes they can just fly straight through the mesh. Here's an example of a hive being behind the cave wall mesh, along with some bees spawned behind there as well.

Elemer MergedWhen I am playing with friends on dedicated server, bee hives are not lootable - only after the latest patch (before the hives were not visible) - now we are able to see and destroy hives, but we can´t loot them. I am not even able to press the F to see the inventory of the hive.

Elissa - Producer Admin MergedDo you have a video of this happening? We've never encountered this so we'd like to see a reliable repro!

JonathanThis issue still exists! Only if you go to the spawn spot the hive will spawn. But unfortunalty I cant harvest any honey or bee/queen after "opening" the hive!

Kevin MergedHi, i play with some players in styx on a dedicated server. When i play alone bee hives in caves are invisible or not able to loot. When another players join the prospect bee hives get visible and able to loot.

Eventide MergedStarting near to week 216, the effect of bees flying around the beehive deployable while it is active and making honey, has gone missing.
1. Deploy beehive
2. Add bees
Result: no visual change. Bees should be seen around the hive.
Audio for active beehive is heard as expected.
Beehive creates beeswax and crops bonus is applied as expected. -

EventideFor bug merged here named "beehive visual effect missing" - this happened in only one of three open world prospect saves, and was fixed by removing and replacing the beehive.
Thank goodness for emails or I might never have found where my original report was merged ;) This was not the best place to merge it, since the problem was with seeing the bee effect around a deployable, not the beehive object in caves. -
