If you're at your base (within range of bed and/or bench) for more than 46 minutes at a time, you get a chance of a random raid.

You say you're still in bronze age? Have you killed the Elder already? That's why you would be getting the Draugr and troll raids. The Drauger/Swamp raids will happen until you kill Bonemass. Troll raids will trigger at random once the Elder boss has been done and you've killed two trolls. Most raids will happen wherever you are with the exception of the Mistland mob raids which are now keyed to just a few biomes.

To be honest, if you're getting one raid after another within a couple of minutes, someone is on your server with cheat mods and they are spawning these raids in. This is the ONLY way it could happen that quickly. If you have mods running, ensure that these isn't a setting you've kept on or accidentally turned on.

im pretty sure im alone in my server ? idk if theres a way to check and im not running mods, wanted to have the raw experience for my first playthrough at the very least

but it feels like im getting draugr raids coming in quite frequently but i guess time flies whilst building bases lol

anyway thx again for everyone posting feedback

3 major building/workbench pieces need to all be within 20-40m range of each other in order to trigger a raid.

The type of raid depends on what bosses have been defeated on the world.

its only been like 4 days since i bought the game, killed 2 bosses and farmed ogres for ogre armor upgrades and stuck at bronze

my workstations at lvl 4 as highest, trying to reach the swamp once ive finished ny new base so just because ive killed the 2nd boss then i will get raids from the swamp ?

you need to start building wide moats.

good thing thats the difference i began making with my new base to house a boat, the last boat dissapeared so i assume that it was destroyed by enemies, hopefully this keeps both my base and boat safe from these new troll and draugr raids

Yes, if you don't want the harder raids, avoid killing the bosses until your base is ready for them. Many people have Vanity/Base homeworlds and then a world for explorations/fighting.

I personally have 1 coop world that I build roads on and themed towns for everyone to live in/around, 1 trash world for item dumps, 1 farming world for wood/stone, and 1 solo world which is a duplication seed of my coop world where I keep my main fortress/base.

I don't know if they ever fixed it but the game gets really choppy after some time if you do too much deforesting and mining. I try to avoid destroying the native terrain as much as possible and building more into the land rather than manipulating it massively.

There's really only 3 things you need from what I've gathered in my playtime up to the Iron Age, and that is... a portal to the trader in your main base, a blank portal in your main base, and a portal altar/structure type building at your trader that can take you to any of your waypoint portals, mining camps, or forward operating bases.

its just strange that swamp draugrs raid me whilst building bases in the first spawn zone though, still in the meadows trying to get my boat finished in an appropriate place where it doesnt wander off on its own or dies by little goblins
