→Lava Bat floors: Added info from code that indicates lava bats only spawn on level 20 and 40.
Since of our wiki says that the Lava Bats spawn on the first 50 floors, which is not correct. Each time I play, the only floors I see them on are floors 20 and 40 on floors that have not been inhabited by [[Mummy|Mummies]]. [[User:9000|9000]] ([[User talk:9000|talk]]) 8:27, 11 September 2022 (UTC)

:If you can find proof that it's not random in the game code, then we can change the wiki. [[User:Margotbean|margotbean]] ([[User talk:Margotbean|talk]]) 18:29, 11 September 2022 (UTC)

::In the function to populate the levels (StardewValley.Locations.MineShaft.getMonsterForThisLevel, which in turn is called from StardewValley.Locations.MineShaft.populateLevel), has a few sections to generate a bat.
::The first is for Dino floors, which result in an iridium bat, then there are the options for the mines, then for Skull Cavern, there are 2 options to generate a bat, with the conditions:
::(this.mineLevel % 20 == 0 && distanceFromLadder > 10f) or (this.mineRandom.NextDouble() < 0.33 && distanceFromLadder > 10f && this.mineLevel >= 171)
::The first case matches the claimed behaviour of only seeing them on floors 20 and 40; and the latter case will produce an iridium bat.
::Additionally, before either of these checks, it checks if it is loaded a DarkArea, in which case it will only spawn a ghost or a mummy.
::
::However, further down in the populateLevel function, it also checks (this.mustKillAllMonstersToAdvance() && this.EnemyCount <= 1), and adds a bat if true. But this doesn't specify the level so it should be a normal bat, not a lava bat.
::
::The only other location I can find it spawning a bat is in StardewValley.Locations.MineShaft.spawnFlyingMonsterOffScreen
::In this case, for the Skull Cavern, it first checks (this.mineLevel < 171 || Game1.random.NextDouble() < 0.5) and if that is true it will spawn a serpent, if it is false it will spawn a bat.
::
::So unless I am missing something, the only options for bat spawns are:
::* Normal bat spawning if you need to kill all the monsters to advance and no monster spawned.
::* Lava bat spawning on level 20 and 40 (given it is not a dark area).
::* Iridium bat spawning on level 51 and above, either on screen during the normal population event, or offscreen while still on the floor.
::So Lava bats should only spawn on level 20 and 40. I'll update the main page to say that.[[User:JackBlack69|JackBlack69]] ([[User talk:JackBlack69|talk]]) 07:54, 3 January 2023 (UTC)
