Lousy Raid Cycle

So I don't have iron yet, having just killed the first boos. I have 2 main bases and several small portal jump points. No matter which base I am at, I get raided now every single day. Then I spend the next day getting core wood and fixing the perimeter stake holes-- then I get raided and start over. The game is losing the fun factor-- no time left to explore or do anything else aside this lousy cycle. Am I the only one in this rut? There are 2 of us playing together.

Do you sleep every night or do you spend nights outside?

I mostly sleep each night but the troll raid can come day or night and lasts a very long time. I got killed re-spawned and they were still there

The raid only lasts 2 minutes if you stay in the red circle. That is not very long at all.

You only get raided if you are at a base so unless you are minecrafting for hours it will almost never happen. I rarely get raided as I am off doing other things away from base 90% of the time.

As others have also said you can cheese the AI and just dig a moat and minecraft to your hearts content.

I was building a new base on two of the raids so I was spending a lot of time there,

You don't get raided unless you're at the base.

Dig a moat and forget the stakes :/ As far as raiding every single day, not possible unless your stuff is bugged.

Edit: Unless you're talking about the monsters that spawn nearby naturally, in that case all you can really do is build workbenches in sneaky spots to keep enemies from spawning.

Or breed some wolves and send them out to fight.

I have a ditch ( no water) with stakes outside that all around. I get "forest alive" raids every night... and neither base is really that close to the forest

I have been raided by two trolls three nights in a row at two different bases in the meadows. They seem more aggressive less easy to shake off than the trolls I find in the black forest. twice they managed to kill me by chasing me until all my stamina is gone. In the black forest I can usually kill them or give them the slip especially if I am wearing troll gear. If this going to happen every night now I'm done (the fun is gone).

I usually run to spare my base. They follow me. The stake fence is no barrier to these guys.
