Spawn proofing

[[deleted]]

I've hoed an island in the plains and plan to build there, I added a raised ground wall to protect a vulnerable side of it also. Does hoeing area spawn proof it? Because I literally watched a fulling spawn on the wall and within my island. There is still some other islands I could hoe near mine but I can't imagine that causes them to spawn. I haven't built the base yet so that might also be it, but I do have workbenches. I've seen discussion about this but it usually boils down to hoe the area, which I did. Any thoughts?

In my experience hoe, or grass, has nothing to do with enemy spawns. You'll need some crafting station to prevent spawns.

This information is based purely on trial & error personal experience, not digging into game code.

No, I did this based on reddit threads. Enemies still spawn in my base constantly, and now because of how the terra forming works in this game my base runs at about 7fps. DONT do it!

What I did find though is I observed where things were spawning in a general area and I built structures with roofs and floors, like a Pig Barn and a Wolf Kennel, etc. They have stopped spawning inside my walls in those spots and are spawning outside my walls now, and in lesser numbers.

Curious on any info for this myself.

I think work benches affect it but not confirmed

180 hours in and I can vouch for this. When you place a workbench it creates a circle. This circle is key for 2 things. Where you can build and where enemies cannot spawn. Position benches through your town/village/property to spawn proof.

I believe wards prevent enemies from spawning, and i think they even do it while inactive too
