No garden room. Where do you grow food?

Elsewhere. Neither gardens nor tamed animals belong in your base.

Put your chickens in a cleared Troll Cave, and absolutely nothing will get to them. Careful with where (and how) you place your fires. See https://steamcommunity.com/app/892970/discussions/0/3825284144449658842/

Grow veggies, hogs, etc. in a remote location linked with a portal, with no other player base objects. If you don't have 3 or more player base items, it won't get raided.

If there's nothing for the bats to attack, then the bats are already mooted.
