I have my carrot "farm" operation in the black forest about 150 yards from the base there. My reasoning was that I wanted to keep the area near my base as natural as possible. The small fir trees, moss covered rocks and sloped terrain towards the beach.

Well I can hardly pull or plant a carrot seed without a greydrwave interrupting me. I have the carrots in a pit but I keep the ground sloped for the size of a doorway. Even if I blocked it all off, they would just throw rocks at me. One after the other. Interruptions are every 20 to 20 seconds. It is maddening and I am flipping out. haha

I decided to fence off the beach area just outside my base gate. I know they will throw rocks at the fence and swim around the fence. My harbor fence only gets 2 swimmers at most and they don't enter often, they also attack the fence. I think I can deal with that. I can only let them hit me in the garden so long and then when I stop my carrot row is off. :P

I won't level the ground there, just remove rocks. I have neglected food gathering, partly because of this, but mostly been exploring and building 3 new outposts here and there. Running out of my stock of food literally. All I do is cut wood, build, eat and kill pesky greydwarves.

I have a deck on 2nd level , wish I could cover it with dirt and plant that in peace.
