Monster Spawn

I've built defense walls all around my base and yet the monsters still spawning inside my base, how to prevent this to happen?
I mean can we use torches to prevent monsters spawning inside my base as we do in Minecraft? Do torches in Valheim have the same function as in Minecraft?

I have a large area covered in standing wooden torches with no FPS issues.

Short answer - yes, you can use torches (or any of a couple dozen other structures) to prevent monsters spawning inside your base.

Long answer - this is how random spawn works in the game: https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Spawn_zones

And these are the structures you can use to block the spawn: https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Player_base
