I've got a couple questions

[ButterStuffed]

I couldn't find the answer on the wiki so if someone could answer these questions for me I'd be grateful.

• Recently WX-78 got a nerf in which every consecutive lightning strike will charge slightly less. Does anyone know the numbers for it? Like an equation for how much less per strike would be nice.
• The Extra Adorable Lavae can eat both charcoal and ash, however the wiki doesn't clearly say whether or not charcoal fills the same as ash. Anyone know?
• Abigail does night damage underground regardless of the time of day right?
• Fire damage was reduced for players on fire, does this reduction apply to monsters as well?

I swear I had a couple more questions but I can't remember them..

Ah well, I'll just ask again in here when I do remember.

Thanks!

Relevant code:

local basecharge = TUNING.TOTAL_DAY_TIME
local dampen = 3 * basecharge / (inst.charge_time + 3 * basecharge)
local dcharge = dampen * basecharge * .5 * (1 + math.random() * dampen)
startovercharge(inst, inst.charge_time + dcharge)

Lua testing code:

local charge_time = 0
local lightnings = 0

local function DoLightning()
	local basecharge = 480
	local dampen = 3 * basecharge / (charge_time + 3 * basecharge)
	local dcharge = dampen * basecharge * .5 * (1 + math.random() * dampen)
	charge_time = charge_time + dcharge
	lightnings = lightnings + 1
	print("Time: "..tostring(charge_time).."s, Strike: "..tostring(lightnings))
end

They fill the same.

    inst:AddComponent("edible")
    inst.components.edible.foodtype = FOODTYPE.BURNT
    inst.components.edible.hungervalue = 20
    inst.components.edible.healthvalue = 20

Correct.

In the caves, the world is in permanent night.

What varies is the "cavephase" (day, dusk, night), rather than the "phase" (night). Abigail looks at the "phase".

In Don't Starve, I killed a crow with a single fire dart.

In Don't Starve Together, I used a fire dart on a crow, and after the fire extinguished, the crow flew away.

So the answer is yes.
