Chapter 108: Bee-hold Rock and Stone!
Belissar had a thought. If stone was unlocked for building his beehouses…then would he be able to change existing beehouses into stone? He could both turn mundane beehouses into Tower features, and likewise could turn regular Tower beehives into beehouses, so it seemed like it would be possible. He tried to focus in on one of the Apiary beehouses, hoping some sort of Tower message might appear.
And indeed, the normal description menu appeared, with an option for upgrades. Belissar went ahead and focused on that and a new menu appeared.
Belissar’s Beehouse Upgrades:
- Expand to Bee Apartment (Cost: 100 DP or 25 if materials provided)
- Expand to Bee Barracks (Cost: 100 DP or 25 if materials provided)
- Change material to stone (Cost: 50 DP or 12 if materials provided)
- Boost honeycomb production (Cost: 25 DP)
- Boost growth for inhabitants (Cost: 25 DP)
Belissar’s eyes widened. He had expected the material option. He had not expected the other four. He could not only change a beehouse into stone, but he could apparently expand the beehouses into apartments or barracks, or boost their effects, though all at the cost of DP. Not much DP compared to the DP shop options…but back when he upgraded regular beehives into beehouses each upgrade and each expenditure of DP only affected one hive. So, it made sense, as he'd be spending DP to upgrade a single feature instead of saving up for new features, rooms, or monsters that could aid his Tower as a whole. And, well, his recent experience with buying feature choices taught him that a lot of DP could suddenly become very little once he started spending it freely.
