Mob Spawning Sucks In This Game.

I made a walled garden on the edge of a plains because I can't grow barley or flax anywhere else. So this ****ing game decides to spawn fuelings inside the walls of the garden. Before I can get inside they destroyed all my plants. The garden wasn't huge by any means. Maybe 10 plants total.

Why can't the devs make it so mobs can't spawn on top of things like this? It makes for a really unfun experience. Easy logic. If tilled soil, then no spawn on top.

If they broke their way in then that is fine because they earned it. But they didn't. They litterally spawned on top of the plants within the walls. :steamfacepalm:

campfire does the same thing and enemies ignore them. they don't have to remain lit.

you can see the radius in which the workbench will work. i think with your hammer out, or while placing the workbench, i cant remember. havent played for a bit, waiting for the next update.

Easiest way is use workbenches since their range is marked with a dotted line.

My fort was close by but I guess it wasn't close enough. Still sucks to have to manage spawns in such a fasion. Especially the plains required farms.

Thanks for the tips.

You can prevent mob spawning by placing a workbench. Mobs will not spawn within its crafting radius.
