YOU SACRIFICED A Green Beetle AND SMASHED 2 Green BeetleS INTO A Green Beetle! YOUR HAMMER SHATTERED!
poppy + daisy = tin pollen
monarch + morning glory = imperial tortoise beetle
poppy + Pond beetle = nothing
idk if sacrifice beetle changes anything, or hammer type (purple, tin)
Something I tried - upgrading my hammer with junk cubes - have had no success with this method. Also FYI - once you have a hammer you cannot create another hammer with extra junk cubes!
maybe, have you tried using the polen on the hammer or it doesnt do anything
Boycott black-owned businesses
>>324905 #
doesn't do anything. same with pollen + junk cube
As far as sacrificial beetles go - I think the higher the tier the better the chance of successful merge / jumping up more tiers?
I tried
Grigger + daisy / sacrifice grigger => nothing
ladybug + daisy / sacrifice grigger => nothing
Vigger + daisy / sacrifice grigger => nothing
Pond + daisy / sacrifice grigger => nothing
I have two bombardier beetles but I'm extremely reticent to smash them together ): because they're my favs
You can convert purples into monarchs allegedly:
YOU SACRIFICED A GREEN BEETLE AND SMASHED 2 PURPLE BEETLES INTO A MONARCH!
Also the recipe for a key is apparently:
a flower that isn't a daisy / sunflower / poppy + a junk cube = key?
so the key its for unlocking the fourth crafting space
>>325063 #
Interesting developments - so
Purple + Purple / Grigger || Purple => (sometimes) Monarch
Monarch + Monarch / Purple => (sometimes) Pond
Pond + Pond / Purple => (sometimes) Bombardier / Goliath
So - using low tier beetles (purples) you can smash them into higher tier beetles.
Also it seems like the highest tier of beetle that a tin hammer (default hammer) can smash is a pond beetle.
3 * Junk Cube => JUNK TESSERACT
grig x grig x grig w Tin hammer = grig
ladybug in all slots w tin hammer = total ladybug death
SAD!

YOU SACRIFICED A Purple Beetle AND SMASHED A Monarch AND A Royal Poinciana INTO A Giraffe Weevil! YOUR HAMMER SHATTERED!
New discovery! Thanks Sil!
You can make bronze pollen from two gallic roses; wonder if that bronze hammer could be upgraded with another tesseract + the bronze pollen
YOU ASSEMBLED A Mithril Hammer FROM A Bronze Hammer, A Bronze Pollen, AND A Junk Tesseract!
2 purple beetles + grigger sacrifice = pond beetle
key recipe confirmed
Which one?
Which flower did you use?
Gazania flower doesn't work
how the heck do you unlock the 3rd slot
You need a key, i got it from beetle catching
ooooh ty
YOU SACRIFICED A PURPLE BEETLE AND SMASHED A PINCUSHION AND A BOMBARDIER BEETLE INTO A SABERTOOTH LONGHORN BEETLE!
what have you guys managed to craft with flowers?
spineless jala
sunflower + daisy = marigold
junk tesseract + tin hammer + tin pollen = bronze hammer!
>>326109 #
Never seen a Gazania flower before - potentially you might want to save this one could be used to craft a rare beetle.

>>326711 #
i think it might be better so save them for hammer upgrades. same color flower -> tin. same color hammer + tin + tesseract = new hammer
and then the hammers and beetols are color coded as well. you probably need to use the same color coded tier for max compatibility, otherwise the failure rate might be too high? but yeah, just an assumption. haven't really played around with beetol eugenics so far >.<
>>326729 #
yeah... i don't even want to use the rarer hammers for now lol
but any time you upgrade a hammer, make sure to create the previous one again. gotta stock them up so when they break you can easily recreate the next tier
>>325215 #
update: 2 ponds and a purple sacrifice can give you a stag
YOU SACRIFICED A Purple Beetle AND SMASHED 2 Pond BeetleS INTO A Stag Beetle!
New sleek found, if you level your hammer up it also resets its break chance, I get to like 30% with the tin hammer then upgrade it to bronze for free repairs
>>327189 #
Going to try to get more tier 4 (red) beetles later tn to see if I can smash them into tier 5 beetles. eg: stag + stag / purp => scarab?
time will tell!
MY 2FA WONT WORK I CANT GET ON REMILIANET
Ladybug + Bronze Pollen / purple || green => Nectar
Not sure what to do with it yet!
I've been experimenting with smashing flowers together - trying to get higher tier flowers from low tier flowers.
bailong did
i smashed monarch and pond and got a stag although monarchs seem good for this and may not be worth it!
https://beetle.wiki/doku.php?id=doku.php_beetles
We have a wiki now! If you have any images of beetles that we're missing drop the images here!
I wont be able to do much until I get key wont I
i fucking HATE niggers
I turned two pond beetles and sacrificed a purple and got a goliath. I'm happy because I didn't have that
cheers to all the chads who posted here, will add my discoveries as I SMESH.
Interesting interaction just now:
Cattail + Ladybug / Grigger => Pond beetle.
Feels like kinda a ripoff... but oh well
Also no interaction between cattail / pond or cattail / monarch
Nectar + Monarch / Purp => Pinecone
>>328414 #
YOU SACRIFICED A Purple Beetle AND SMASHED A Monarch AND A Mithril Pollen INTO A Pinecone! YOUR HAMMER SHATTERED!
were sitting pretty with some nectar, got it from merigold+milk thistle
by the way
SMASH FAILED = recipe is correct
NOTHING HAPPENED = recipe doesnt exist
need pillbug girl asap
How the heck do I get blue flowers? Haven't gotten a single one
what beetle can you make with gazania flower?
>>329105 #
Not sure - if it's a blue (mithril) tier flower - try smashing it with different beetles in blue tier or above?
>>328640 #
See this post if the combination is valid or not
i see unfortunately i only have one adamantine beetle - goliath. guess ill keep it for now
But don't do it if you're not comfortable losing them (:
can you unluck the 4th slot in crafting? do you need another key for that?
ladybug + purple with green sacrifice = pond
you can also unlock third slock with junk cube + marigold flower key.
what can I do with a bronze hammer ?

When you've got a *guaranteed* recipe - from what I can tell the tier of hammer / the tier of sacrifice doesn't really matter and only contributes to the probability of success. I managed to create a sabertooth beetle here with just a grigger + a tin hammer (it took about 20 griggers and maybe 5 tin hammers). I think if you're trying to do a recipe like upgrading a flower by smashing two of like rarity together you want to sacrifice purps and use your best hammer though...
>>328521 #
whoa... I saw something about nectar last night. Are you referring to pollen as nectar or is this different altogether?

>>330559 #
me bro idk but i have the nectar still and currently have got a mithril hammer, waiting on further instructions. Might turn a monarch and the nectar into a pinecoin and then craft some kind of beetle king out of that
i havent gotten a single blue flower my nigguh
>>330576 #
for blue flowers youre still incredibly early, you just get like 1 or 2 per day if you hunt religiously, all rng basically. blue and red beetles are already so rare, same for flowers -- considering beetles you might be late we are hunting for 3 months+ already with some of us having 2600-3000 beetles :D
>>330578 #
>>330577 #
Most of my blue flowers - I've been combining flowers - you should get lots of green tier flowers. SMASH two of those together to get a yellow you can SMASH two yellows together to get a blue and SMASH two blues together to get a red. You can also do the cattail upgrade path which is more secure but I'm not sure how it works after you get mithril pollen.
>>331270 #
what cattail upgrade path? it doesnt combine with any other flowers to give pollen, is it just 2 cattails?
hey guys six here
How to craft moss?
nothing happens w cattail+blue beetle
cattails are used with ladybugs to create pond/monarchs
I'm not even sure if catttails are really "flowers"
cattail recipe may also result in polen
Got two cattails & nectar that I've no idea what to do with lmao, how's a ziggamane make mithril pollen or pinecones?
>>335765 #
I used nectar once and it upgraded a b oh cool trips ^
I used a nectar once and it upgraded a beetle YOU SACRIFICED A Purple Beetle AND SMASHED A Ladybug AND A Nectar INTO A Monarch!
whats the meta? i have every hammer
what should i be smashing
Green Flowers can be upgraded by smashing them together. This should be true for all flowers. So you want to probably smash green flowers together, because you can only get Tin Pollen out of them, which only lets you make bronze hammers with a junk tesseract.
Flower smashing I believe is completely random, there's no way to guarantee what flower you are going to get as far as I can tell. I believe flowers only matter if you are trying to craft a specific beetle. Otherwise, you can generally just keep smashing them into the next highest tier.
I imagine that beetle type may also not matter when upgrading a beetle to next tier. I need to test, but my understanding is that if you take a Blue Beetle of any type, and you give it the required flower to get an upgraded beetle, then that should be the outcome regardless of if it's a monarch or not. This may be different at Adamantine tier, which may call for specific recipes, but we don't have anyone who has reached that point or been brave enough to try.
There is also still unknown possibilities about hammer type and hammer combinations - does an adamantine hammer have access to more recipes? We also don't know I believe if crafting bonus contributes greatly to any other type of outcome other than crafting bonus = success probability of crafting.
If craft = nothing happens - then that may be a recipe that doesn't exist.
If craft = Smash Failed - then that indicates that the recipe exist, but you failed the craft. Should probably run crafts using Tin Hammers because it is the most cost effective, and then use higher grade hammers once a recipe is confirmed.
Hammers also currently reset on Universal Cheese Time.
Hope this helps anyone out, feel free to correct/add information.
the cattail recipe gave me a nectar and broke my adamantine hammer at 16% :(
>>336092 #
good read and I agree, altough smashing flowers seems to get harder the higher tier you go, often resulting in loosing two of the tier to get 1 of the same tier back. That really stings.
New to me was the hammers resetting with universal basic cheese - i didnβt check that yet because i always broke them beforehand lmao.
ok i just tried it - hammer does show that it reset to 0 but it DID NOT! My adamantine hammer was at 23% before, showed 0 now and after one smashing attempt it now sits at 26%! So be careful - might be a bug if it was intended to reset to 0% and its not working or the resetting itself is a bug. Just donβt rely on it for now.

See this fuckin piece of goddamn shit? It shattered after two goddamn motherfuckin swings and I didn't even get to keep the son of a bitch beedol contained within because reasons. Fuck my grigger ass life.

could've been crafting flowers this whole time. cries
We're all still so early to all this, it's naynays
I have adamantine pollen. I know you can use pollen to upgrade hammers and also beetles. Anybody find a beetle recipe for adamantine pollen
everyone smashing junk cubes, junk cube genocide
YOU SACRIFICED A PURPLE BEETLE AND SMASHED A MONARCH AND A PINECONE INTO A GOLIATH BEETLE!
Good scarab + junk cube = nada
Havenβt had any moss to test but prob the same
Anyone know the easiest way to get monarchs? I remember slamming a few out one night and was like, "ah, I'll just make more when I need them" then forgot the recipe
Craft a nectar firstBronze Pollen + Ladybug then smash it with a yellow beetle.
Gunpowder recipe anyone?
Gazania x bombardier, smash failed. Is this just another pillbug path or something else?
Can you smash any violet beetle w pincushion to get sabretooth or has it to be the bombardier?
Yes, I managed to do it with a stag beetle
is the flower upgrade real? i keep getting same tier flower back. Works with beetles tho
does hammer or tier beetle for the sacrafice improve chances of the flower upgrade working, anyone tested
>>345923 #
Hammer does matter, it's believed that Crafting Bonus = Chance of Crafting success. So the higher tier the hammer, the more likely you're going to have a successful upgrade/successful smash
YOU SACRIFICED A Green Beetle AND SMASHED 2 PoppyS INTO A Poppy! YOUR HAMMER SHATTERED! Adamantine Hammer gone
YOU SACRIFICED A Green Beetle AND SMASHED A Ladybug AND A Junk Cube INTO A Milk Thistle!
YOU SACRIFICED A Green Beetle AND SMASHED A Pond Beetle AND A Junk Cube INTO A Morning Glory!
i keep smashing yellow flowers into another yellow one, i've tried using other hammers but same thing keeps happening
>>345924 #
true but also with smashing flowers for upgrades it seems to not work as consistently because the outcome seems luck/chance based. You can succeed in smashing two flowers together (so smash did not fail) but the outcome seems 50/50 or probably more like 60/40 of you getting the next higher tier vs. one of the same tier back
>>345993 #
Agree, pollen + beetle is probably better, greater material odds maybe? It might be the same though, pollen probably = 1 beetle
>>345998 #
I don't think so, it should be pollen + beetle of same tier = upgrade of said beetle
OR you also have the fail safe outcome which is beetle + pollen = upgrade material such as Nectar, as seen you can get nectar from a Lady bug + bronze pollen. That's why I'm thinking mathematically, it probably is better to run p ollen
>>346000 #
oh ya true, but I'm talking about upgrading flowers to higher tiers. i don't need any more beetles i just need flowers :D
>>346001 #
Ye, I'm wondering if that's not worth it now because Junk Cube + Beetle = Flower of same tier. I think flower smash has lower odds probably than even 60/40, maybe 70/30 is more right
>>346002 #
wait so is this a confirmed recipe? Can i craft adamantine flowers with adamantine beetle + junk cube?!
so.... has anyone tried crafting a diamond flower yet or is everyone afraid of giving them up? I only have 3 diamond beetles myself but worst case nothing should happen right?!
>>346006 #
No one has, but that's just because almost no one has gotten any diamond tier beetles. HOW TF YOU GOT 3??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
>>346010 #
For diamond, because otherwise, that would be the first beetle specific recipe we've found
Iβll try it with one of my golds when im at home - will probably try smashing two adamantine flowers first and then Iβll sacrifice a gold grigger π
Means there are no diamond flowers and so no diamond pollen and no upgrade plants. The only way left to test if there is a next tier is to smash two gold scarabs.
NOTHING HAPPENED. YOUR GREEN BEETLE IS GONE.
HAMMER BREAK CHANCE: 25%
Just tried to smash an adamantine beetol with adamantine pollen - nothing. So a diamond upgrade plant doesnβt exist. You can only smash 2 adamantine beetles together with your best hammer to upgrade to a gold one.
Smashing 2 adamantines doesnβt work as well, should be some other way to upgrade to diamond
I mean βnothing happenedβ, not failed, means recipe doesnβt exist. It works with the previous tiers, but doesnβt with the final upgrade.
Iβve tried to combine everything with adamantine beetles, i really donβt know the recipe. Would be sad if the golden scarab can only be found, but not crafted T_T
Still donβt have one
Has anyone triedAdamantine pollen + adamantine beetle?
I mean 347088 πΉ
ya same, two adamantine flowers = nothing happened.
I am fairly certain the last two beetles are fourth key related. Tried to get a key yesterday with adamantine flower + junk cube(s) as well as adamantine flower + junk tesseract(s). Tried everything that came to mind like two adamantine + junk cube/tess and nothing.
Could very well be that there are two more beetles but not released yet - like the fourth spot releasing with the next update or sum
I'm just going to keep claiming and hunting beetles. Seems there's no timeline or any reason to craft earlier. I've made a few hammers so far but that's about it. I'm also intentionally keeping at least one of everything in case they have a future use case.
I like the crafting update, but I also enjoyed the simplicity of just checking in regularly and claiming/hunting beetles. I'm sure the crafting will have some benefit in a future update (Beetle racing? Beetle fighting?) but since there's no urgency, I'm happy to just wait until more data is available regarding crafting.

I feel like it has something to do with flower crafting - there are flowers that we haven't discovered yet (allegedly)
>>350672 #
As per the blog post there are:
9 new beetles (counting the Holiday Beetles and 14 different flowers.
We have discovered 7 beetles (including the two new holiday beetles)
And we have discovered 11 (flowers)
Anyone tried smashing 3 adamantine tiered things together to get a diamond flower/beetle?
is beetle game down?
Site down?
looks like it fren
Still down. I could've had more beetles...
This could be a problem for cheese streaks
We are so back
Yay!
I can pet my dear beetles again

says awaiting moderation but I already know. what now, create another one for diamond pollen or?
make another for the diamond pollen
New recipe and new flower! Black Lotus
https://x.com/danissimoreo/status/2011420117910081690
Two black lotus assembled = no recipe
Gold scarab + black lotus smashed = no recipe
can u craft black widow?
YOU SACRIFICED A Purple Beetle AND SMASHED A Stag Beetle AND A Junk Cube INTO A Gazania

Onno said this when talking about the Black Lotus
So Black Lotus should be the key to the last hidden/unknown beetle (as if that wasnβt clear before hehe)
2 beetles and 2 flowers undiscovered
Maybe a golden scarab + black lotus + 1 of those 2 flowers = 2 new beetles?
But should find the flowers first, ohβ¦
Anyone try to make diamond pollen already? There must be enough people out there with enough cyans/adamantines to craft 2 black lotuses
There are 3 tin flowers, 3 bronze flowers, 3 mithril flowers, and only 2 adamantine flowers. So we have a missing adamantine flower.
If pinecone (adamantine artifact) + moss (adamantine artifact) + gunpowder (adamantine artifact) = diamond flower
then,
nectar (mithril artifact) + cattail (mithril artifact) + ? (mithril artifact) = our missing third adamantine flower
>>368839 #
Makes little sense though for there to be a third artifact.
That would mean there has to be a third mithril beetle as well.
And artifacts up until now are corresponding to beetles that were already in the game pre-craft
charlotte fang give me moss
I think that the original post may have been wrong about the amount of new beetles in the update - we could have found everything there is. >>367829 # this post implies that we've found everything (since discovering the mars beetle)
>>373644 #
Yes i think onno in another message before the rhino was found also said something like it being the last beetle.
Though it would be weird as that would mean both the beetle number and the flower number was wrong
Even if we count cattail as flower there would still be one missing if we go off the number in the og post.
i need a recipe, please
AYO HUH???
Day 25 without new recipesβ¦
