Doesn't always work, my entire city is covered by workbenches... there isn't a single spot that isn't covered, most places with it overlapping by about 1/3 the diameter of the benches. Also true for totems, then a ring around the town with just benches.

Still have randoms spawning in town, and in buildings. Kinda wonder if it's just too large of an area and some of the benches aren't being factored in until after the spawns or some other kind of weird bug.

From my experience, yes they will randomly just spawn in regardless of what you do. We have work benches and totems covering every bit of our area and then work benches without totems outside the walls in a ring about 3 benches wide and still randomly get spawns in our town, sometimes in buildings etc. They are easy enough to deal with though and never do any real damage.

Generally, having a densely packed area inside the wall with workbenches covering all exposed land will keep spawns from occuring within. We've been observing ours for days now with no spawns occuring within the walls of the compound we built as a result. Even the regular invasions always spawn well outside the perimeter.

If there is even a tiny piece of land that is NOT under workbench coverage, that could be the culprit. From what I can tell the spawn points themselves are tiny, like pinpoint tiny.

There are a couple dozen structures which stop anything from spawning in a 20m radius around themselves. The list is here: https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Player_base

If you get full coverage of an area with these structures you can completely block the spawn.

I hear a lot about enemies spawning inside of bases/ base perimeters. Never had it happen, ever. 700+ hours
