It's part of the storyline but I guess you could use devcommands and "stop event'

Yes, you very likely were dreaming.

A decent fence or wall around your base will keep any of those from getting to your stuff. It's a "work-around" if you don't want to put workbenches all over the place or use mods.

This is what i came here to say.

If you don't want raids don't kill bosses in that world. I have a world I do all my crazy builds in , I just import anything I need as far as boss drops go.

Edit : Also i thing there may be a way to use devcommands to reset the boss flags.

You can use a single seed and simply reset the event triggers after each forsaken battle with console commands. The only event you will get will be the Eikthyr raising the creatures of the forest which is a free supply of boar and neck. But first see if you can follow the suggestions already given and build a good base with a moat and high wall. If you invest the time, base attacks are pretty much neutralized with the possible exception of drake and bat events.

before first boss make a little wooden fence around base easy , after first boss all waste rock drop around base to make high dirt mound not even trolls can get you but make sure if you have big base to have work benches covering a lot of area to stop small creatures rez ing .
Theres an easy way around everything , next boss make a ring of fires as long as it doesn t rain it will take half his health off or nearly kill him , he will destroy a few though . I think its good having those little attacks , if you want it tougher play in a bigger group the game gets much tougher with bigger and bigger groups of people its fun .

Wards have a larger range, are smaller and do the same thing. Also you can bury both wards and workbenches so they are out of sight. Solution for everything.

There is a list of 'base structures' on the wiki that prevent spawns within a certain radius. Among the various items, non crafting ones you might place without being e;ye jarring would include portals, all the various torches, bonfires, campfires, and possibly some others.

Just use a workbench selected in your build menu to determine the radius of the suppression and then put down whatever you want at the location you determine. You can even use workbenches just temporarily to help you determine suppression coverage - then after everything is covered and arranged as you like, replace the workbenches with torches, portals, fires, etc.

The torches especially are easy to hide in other structures if desired and I believe they are like campfires in that they don't need to be lit to still suppress.

A bench in the shape of a table that you craft things on.

imo the game would be dry with out the random events. yes there is a mod for this on nexus mods. think its called disable random events

If you don't want to use mods, just know that buildings like Workbenches prevent enemy spawning within it's range. If you space out workbenches in a large field and make sure the Workbench radius'es overlap, you will be able to prevent spawning of all mobs around you indefinitely, given that you stay within that area during things like events. Mobs will try to break the Workbench from outside of your boundary, so you may have to put a tiny house around each one.

saliddry stated that he doesn't want crafting tables everywhere just to stop spawns.

I suggest moats and rock walls. My bases are immune to raids, the raiders show up, hang out a bit, and then leave bored. I don't have flying creatures for raids yet, so cannot comment on those.
