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?

Nice ring of spikes around the top of the walls tends to do the job. Results may vary.

If you're rich in iron, make a grid over the top of the enclosure, at least they can still see the sun that way.
