Fat Bear (TALP)
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android
You're a large grizzly bear and winter is coming. But before you bed down for a long winter's hibernation, you'd like to pack on a few more precious pounds. The meals are out there and you'll rampage through the woods to get them, wreaking havoc and leaving destruction in your wake. But hunters and rangers are out there, too. So beware, bear!

Is there supposed to be a beehive at "Trace @ Bee Tree"? Because I'm not seeing any evidence of bees or hives whatsoever except for the location name. I've eaten 11 items, and can't find a 12th.
[edit] Weird. I've restarted the game and gone directly there from the start, and the bees are there now.
[edit] Weirder than I thought. I've been able to dupe the problem by following my notes, but I can't narrow it down to a specific action. By using the "find beehive" command, I've been trying to see when the response changes. It happened once with the "growl at vultures" command, but it's not consistently that. There must be other factors involved.
this was an issue for someone else a few days ago. i couldn’t reproduce the problem but redid the beehive anyway and uploaded an update on the 3rd. are you playing the most recent version (250503) as a download or on borogove? if so, is there any way you could send me a transcript? you can use the email address on my itch page.
ok, i found the issue and it should be definitively fixed this time. update uploaded but it won’t work with your save files. sorry!
Yes, I was using 250503. I just made a transcript where the beehive vanishes when going southeast from Streambank to Rocky Grotto. Most capricious. I could almost believe the error is caused by the turn count at this stage. I will gratefully try the newest version, thank you. Don't you worry about my save files. I can make more.
