Firstly, I never got any response regarding bees. We were told they were removed for the winter (because they were never supposed to spawn during the winter). Why have they not returned? Is this a mistake or working as intended?
|
They're going until further notice. Having bugs that spawn due to player action was a mistake. Players found this out and found out how to make a lot of money.
|
Secondly, why exactly were cockroaches removed in the first place? Because they started spawning out of control like ladybugs?
|

I noticed a few months back that their speed was significantly reduced. Could you not set their speed back to what it used to be? They were much harder to catch. It's the main reason no one ever really farmed them.
|
They were slowed down because faster = more ticks = more cpu usage.
|
The railroad caves just feel so empty without them. And the bathrooms in the railroad shop just don't feel the same without roaches running around..
|
I miss them too.
|
But, as I came to realize, ladybugs are still spawning. You didn't remove them. You fixed the issue, and significantly lowered their value. So why did cockroaches have to be removed? Why are bees seemingly removed?
|
They may be working as intended... until they're not. That's the problem. We can't risk having bugs spawn out of control for days like the ladybugs were before. Players love not reporting this stuff so it's hard to notice.

Bugs (insects, not glitches) are an important part of Classic, for earning gralats (which we all know there aren't a whole lot of different ways to go about doing), placement in houses (either as "trophies" or decor), and distinction between seasons (like how fireflies only spawn in fall, and a number of bugs only spawn in summer).
I don't like when bugs disappear abruptly. I still miss spiders..

They are important, that's why a complete overhaul is needed to the entire system. Sadly this can't be done right now as there are more important things being worked on.
