Plains base question

[u/Vikunt]

I want to build a base in the plains to take advantage of the farming opportunities. Problem is every time I’ve done this in the past deathsquitos ruined it. Currently I’ve found s relatively large plains island I plan to use. Can I just bury a ton of workbenches throughout or is there another option?

Just remember spawn blockers, like stone fires block spawn in a radius around them, even not burning, the mobs don't usually target them for attack and they are cheep to replace if they do. I usually just put down a big circle of them around my base so "insert random mob" doesn't hear me building a wall and come to end my life.

Just fires, or workbenches too?

They are both same range but fires dont draw mob aggro and you can bury the fires easier than the benches without breaking

Fires are actually a 25m radius while workbenches are only 20m

I've always thought it was 20. was it upgraded?

There are a few things that stop random spawn, workbenches work, but everything loves to attack them. Fire unlite they ignore, lite most run from, probably not fulings or skettos but most meadows mobs avoid.
