Yeye, birds are not a mob so thats fine, but deer is not... we are not building this big, but our base perimeter is comparable size and for like 3 MP games in a row i've never saw (or hear about) a deer (or anything else not bird) spawn within it. I bet its either the groundworks, (higher load on cpu and the server which could mess with where it puts stuff), or just holes in coverage.

Its not holes in the coverage that is certain. Nothing else ever spawns inside just deer and birds and those shots aren't from the same base or world seed though all of them are meadows bases.

I have tiny strip of Plains surrounded by black forest from 3 sides and ocean by another... it's really small and I made sure to place 3 workbenches that surely covers all of it... just wanted to make little barley and flax farm there... but deathsquitioes and fulings appear every few days and everynight anyway...

Deathsquitos and fulings can spawn outside your work bench area and travel inside it. Especially if your base is near a fuling village. Fulings also tend to wander farther from their spawn point at night. I was having this problem with my plains base and solved it by making the perimeter of the base larger.
