Does that mean that, theoretically, you could make a throwaway base somewhere that no one would likely go again, camp their until you get a raid, jump through the portal, and never have another raid?

That does seem to be the case.

I had planned to use a ship to go get my gear, (and a backup ship LMAO) it would take longer than a resting buff. I slept at the sea base, which I guess may be why it triggered there.

It might need an owned bed to count for Raid spawning? Not sure.

Doesn't need a bed to activate a raid. I had one spawn where I had only built a workbench and portal outside of a crypt. I did have a bridge nearby, but there wasn't a bed on that continent at all.
