WTF ?? BATS ??!!

[kazz1237]

Just getting back into the game after months and just futzing around in my base in the Meadows and I get attacked by bats (New mob?). They don't hurt much but they killed all my tamed animals. Who's brilliant Idea was to put a mob in that can spawn IN YOUR BASE that can just kill all tour tamed animals?

You should only get bat raids if bats have been killed in that world.

Yeah, you kinda need to build barns now. With barred windows.

You already kinda "needed" barns to protect your animals from Drake raids.
But they didn't needed to be airtight AFAIR.

Lol True dat, keeping lox at home is like a wrecking ball bomb with an unknown fuse length

Haven't seen any bats yet. Sounds annoying.

Put you Lox in a pit?

Bats are found in the ice caves. Bloody annoying to kill as well.

Yeah, if you venture into an ice cave in the Mountains, by doing so you unlock the bats event that can happen. So your tamed animals become at risk once you enter an ice cave. So make full enclosures over all your tamed animal enclosures and keep them inside. Except for tamed lox, who can shake off the attacks pretty easily.

Losing tamed boars to the bat raids is annoying. Losing chickens, at 1,500 gold each from the merchant, is very painful.

Annoying to kill? Howso?
Stagbreaker and any later versions of a two-handed hammer with AoE damage take care of them easily.
And even with a sword one by one is no problem (my hammer skill is already at 100 but swords "only" at ~70) ;-)

It's a smart idea, you can play baseball with them. Time your strikes well for those juicy skill points !
