So I've built a decent sized house, mongrels attacked so I put a wall up with a cairn inside of it, this didn't stop the spawn, so I built a cairn and a portal in the spawn, this still didn't stop them spawning. I'm sick of moving to be away from predators/prey coming in. Can anyone advise

Cairns do not stop spawns, they reduce them.

However this can stack, so if you throw like 5 down it will further reduce.

Sadly anything can lure hostile mobs to your area (it's something if I remember right they're trying to work on)

Some advice some people have done:

  • Build "up" so things can't reach you.
  • Add a cairn all around the house(s)
  • build a surrounding wall (make it look nice)
  • Move again after scoping out what does/doesn't go by that area

I have added 8 carins around the house. It helps a bit.
with a carin as respawn point inside the house

I build on lakes now to avoid both spawns and trees/plants growing through foundations.
