Remove. The. Bats
James Bendon. It's ok to admit you messed up. We all make mistakes. No one is going to laugh at you for removing the bats. In fact, quite the opposite. Because bats are not a threat. They are not an interesting challenge or interruption to deep mining. They are merely an annoyance. The most frustrating thing a human can experience is a fat ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ fly buzzing around their face evading every swat and then leaving, only to come back the moment you feel like it's gone. And you have mistakenly recreated it in this game.

I look forward to the next update when they are gone, and thank you for making Dinkum.

Ok, am i the only one, who has zero problems with Bats?
Just use your, well, your wooden Bat to kill the flying Bats. Jump and swat them out of the air, that simple.

I dont have a problem with the bats because I carry 3 bat zappers to zap them to hell. Problem is some people hate to work at getting good stuff at the mines without any challenges

I think some people are not smart enough to figure how to handle the bats

Is it okay to laugh at this post?

way 1. get yourself from Ted Selly 2 Bat Zappers, farm Bat Wings, get the Bat Glider at the Bat Altar
way 2. get from Nexus the mod which pacifies creatures aka Peaceful Miner

I carry bat zappers, so I don't have a problem with bats being damaging. But I'm with Sushin: they're annoying, like a fly that buzzes around and lands on your face when your hands are full. If they were a significant threat, that would be one thing; there would be some challenge. But once you figure out how to deal with them (before bat-zapper, jump and whack; after bat-zapper, zap) they're just an irritation.

I like to make it a game of how many bats I can kill with one zap shot.

The bats are fine. I have much more of an issue with 3 bush devils in the same spot or three poison frillies in the same spot. That makes it harder, especially if they're around something you want to mine or raid.

I've also had bush devils spawning 3 or 4 at a time. Is it just me or have the mines gotten worse?

You've angered the RNG gods. I have too. Have a hang glider to get out. Stun them with a light then flee. But it's rare to get that many at once.

The mines have gotten worse after every update, not to mention endgame is extremely tedious.

It's probably just going to get worse, tbh

Just use your flashlight to stun them, then hit them once or run away

I just flash my torch at them and kill them. Super easy. The biggest pain is waiting to see if they poof into nothing or drop a wing... So slow....

A fat fly buzzing around your face when your hands are busy is a true aussie experience, seems fitting to keep it in.

No, no problems with the bats here either. Easier than the crocs imho.
