What are the rules for spawning?

I have a walled base, entirelly covered in crafting stations for the sake of preventing spawning. A Greydwarf Shaman - the first I've seen this close to the center of the map, and this far from any black forest - just spawned and killed all my tame boars. WHY?

To prevent this from happening, I came up with the one thing that works for me. (so far)

Wait one day + night on the spot where you want to build and observe where the spawners are. With that knowledge, it's easy enough to figure out where not to build.
Using this "technique" I have never seen a spawn inside my walls. (Probably also depends on the size.)

I've read people saying workbenches prevent spawns... which is not true as far as my experience goes.

Place workbenches and raise ground around them.

When player near, spawn inside aggro range, if player choping wood spawn inside hearing range.

When player is looking for deer, do not spawn them but play some deer sound.

That’s literally the code.
