There are 2 sides to this coin. Sure it's a survival game but having the option to turn on/off the raid mechanic or change how often it can trigger (especially with MP) could have also been implemented a long time ago as well.

I know it was challenging in the mountains / plains / swamps already and the survival feel element was definitely there. Many folks just want to be able to go home, relax and focus on getting their resources sorted, foods made, crops done, or simply relax without having a raid hit you because you are home.
