This seems like one of those suggestions which is fine now but might result in your base being a nightmarish frozen hellscape once they finally finish all the biomes.

Events have a 20% chance of starting every 46 minutes.
So if you just log out every 45 minutes, you will never get any events.

Alternately you can build an earthen wall. You can see how to do it with less stone in yourtube vids. Building walls is quieter and won't attract all mobs from 1/2 mile. If your close to wear Trolls are, they can surprise you while axepicking.

In mean time, until you have things sorted out. If you don't have portals, you can just leave 1 fire and no beds or workbenches. a total of 3 items is needed to trigger a troll raid. These include campfires, benches, and pretty sure a bed and portals count also. I know its extreme if you base is large already. Proper moat/wall should come before base is expanded.

If its beyond hopeless at this point. You can create a new seed and join that one with your current character. Then in the new seed, do not kill elder and you won't have troll raids there.

mostly the motes worked , this last two attacks 1 of these giants was out in the ocean up to his nipples smashing my docks and boats . the other just waded through my moat and it is wide and deep .

its so easy. just go out there and lure them away from your base, dont sit inside it

I wasn't even at the base the last attack , i was just returning home from a long journey and seen them as i disembarked the boat

The proximity to the sea is a problem. I has this happen with my first castle that was up against the ocean. Trolls will wade through water.
To fix this I had to use my hoe and raise a levy around my base with my mote. This way my moat is continuous and now the trolls cannot get in anymore. It really has to be a continuous moat. Depth has to be deep and steep. If you can walk out of it then they will walk out of it. If you fall in and get trapped they will get trapped. I have never built a bridge personally. I just jump my moat but I havent had a problem since I built the levy.

I just build a wall ...who needs a mote

Build a moat, problem solved.

already did , they walked through it

Then it has to be deeper and less wide. I have one around both my main locations, I also play solo, if its deep but not wide they either fall into it and cant climb out (none of the monsters can climb) or they just sit on the other side and I shoot them till they are gone. Are you on the beach or in a meadow?

Also, Id be willing to play with you if you want. I dont play with cheats.

Build a deep wider moat and/or build on a higher surface. Basically deeper/higher than the height of a troll.

This was my first 'castle'. So bare with the ugliness. It has since a generation later, looked better and the moat even deeper and wider. The moat is actually deeper than the surface of the water, and I place spiky things just under the surface of the water along the base. For my bridge, I leave a small gap, so mobs can't get into it.

Look at the backside of this build. Trolls walk up and just stare at me or try to hit me, but can't do any damage.
