Conditions to spawn bats in a house?
Has anybody tested how big a room must be for the game to think of it as a cave, which would enable bat spawning? I'm playing with the though of getting myself bats into one of my cellars...--137.226.158.159 12:18, 21 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I've messed with this as well. I have yet to see a bat spawn in a player-made structure. I would also like to know if there's a light level requirement. -- Kanegasi  ☺  C  13:11, 21 September 2012 (UTC)

ruining mob spawners
how could these break mobspawners? 205.188.116.210 21:08, 21 September 2012 (UTC)


 * I'm not entirely sure what was meant by this, the only thing I can think of is that they are a drop-less and difficult to grind mob, which will reduce the area in which hostiles can spawn (as they cant spawn overlapping another entity) though this effect would seem incredibly minor at most Cultist O 21:17, 21 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Spawners will not spawn another mob if there are already a certain maximum number of the mob in the immediate area. Maybe the bats count towards reaching that maximum? 70.89.140.153 21:27, 21 September 2012 (UTC)


 * That would be interesting, but we really haven't seen any evidence of that so far. I think it is likely that the implication of grinder-nerfing came out of misunderstanding or wild speculation. It might be worth a bit more digging before we dismiss the idea though. Cultist O 23:12, 21 September 2012 (UTC)


 * I've removed it for now since there is no evidence that the mob was made to intentionally do that. For editors: Either test it and verify before adding, or don't add speculation/trivia into the article at all. --M0rphzone 00:52, 22 September 2012 (UTC)
