Near as I can tell there is only one critter that can see you in ghost mode - birds. All the rest don't even know you're there when you're slapping them silly.

In V+, increase the area of your workbenches. Put it to 200 or, hell, even 500 and you'll rarely get a problem anywhere near where you're working again, even raids start so far away that you can ignore them entirely. Can't help while you're exploring, though. I just stay away from spawners and travel during the day.

Raids have a max spawn radius of 80m from center (red circle on map shows 64m, but event area is actually larger). Just a FYI.

This won't answer to your question (sorry), but I'd still like to say that in late game, after gaining access to current top tier gear and food, and after leveling character skills sufficiently, enemy density isn't a problem unless you're going really cheap on food (which is kinda your own fault ;) ). I'd suggest any new players to experience the game in its intended state before looking to modify things. :) But hopefully somebody else can provide answer to OP.

Well, actually I played as is until the Mountain area which is kinda close to endgame. And than I started to feel tired somehow. You see the low lvl enemies already not a problem itself. But I realized that it just waste of time when you shrug off dozens of suddenly appeared out of nowhere mobs in the area where you already killed all wildlife few times. It's either distraction or time waste or just me that I found their existence annoying.

So here I thought that maybe making them more rare and for some of them more easy to kill (Trolls and sea snakes in specific) can remove some extensive frustration.

Trolls are very easy to kill once you got higher gear. A iron banded shield (which is mid level gear) will already stagger trolls, and then it is a few swipes with an abyssal dagger or an atgeir.

If you sneak up on them you can often one-shot trolls with an abyssal dagger, which you can get in the bronze age!

it does not sound like it, but with the render limits mod you can control the spawn rate. The game checks active and loaded areas against a limit and as long as that is not reached, things will spawn. render limits lets you increase active and loaded areas(and other stuff) to increase the draw distance, so it messes with the spawn rate automatically. That is why it has a setting to adjust the range in which that limit is checked...with that you can basically increase or decrease the amount of things that spawn.
