Honestly I just jumped into a new map so I could trench out the starting shrine just outside it's anti-build perimeter and make a plateau base out of it like I saw on reddit or discord or somewhere. So I started building benches in a circle as close as i could build, mobs attacking me periodically, nothing crazy. Greyling walks PAST the bench I just put down to attack ME.

I was honestly surprised with all the complaints I have been reading online.

I haven't experienced anything adverse ... yet. (this includes my established maps/bases)

After What I have been reading though I expected the inhabitants of Valheim to jump on me and anything I built like a pack of rabid piranhas.
