Another idea for now is to ask me and trusted players to shoot creatures(it be my pleasure),and we be sure not to claim any land at all. If this helps you, feel free to send a chat message if we are on-line at that same time.

@Firefly: I do not play any other game similar to AD. Recently, Astroneer was fun, but the building is not accurate enough, no annoying animals however. I had a lot of fun with No men's Sky on relax, but I have reached the building limit after few bases and 1 city built so I have left the game. I play OpenTTD (since original TT), endless fun. I have spent some time building in Subnautica, nice building and aggressive animals are in specific areas only. I used to build in Ark, animals were pretty annoying there and too much grind for large structures, also not any great building "look & feel". Sometimes I build in Grounded with animal aggressiveness off. Castle story was fun building but a lot of annoying bugs. I like building in Planet Crafter, no animals. Building in Stronghold Crusader is fun but unstable at some point, best to build alone. The Movies was fun tu build. I did play few more games with some building but nothing I would mention. I like to build in AD.

@Moniq: Some great games on your list! I get the feeling that you mostly like to play alone in your own world and with your own rules. So a radical idea: can you try Angeldust's 'Build alone' mode? All your wishes from post #5 like no creatures, no chests, no devices, no AZ, no Void, no PvP, no players are already included. I'd be interested to hear your experience. My other question still stands: are there any ideas here so far that would help you? I'm trying to get a feel for what you see as a solution.

I havent fully read the conversation here but i can agree that sometimes the mobs can be quite annoying while building (especially cuz i use the builder class when im building alot) for me im usually high up building so most enemies can't reach me but ocassionally when i drop down i will get swarmed by all sorts of critters, it is "annoying" in a certain sense definetly especially because alot of the stun creatures spawn around my base which are so difficult for me to attack and kill with how my base is set up personally doesn't annoy me all that much tho but i could see it being an issue to some although i think this is certainly an issue, i do not think this is a "big" issue, ive heard alot of different building related issues and this is a first ive heard of this one and from what i know creatures dont spawn in claims? which i havent ever seen cuz creatures do spawn in mine but it would be cool to have a maybe slider to either allow mobs in a claim or not i could see that being an option when standing in a claim or something because alot of people love the creatures too because they earn you coins, and i must say if the creatures didn't spawn around me i would have been broke by now aswell so a nice in between would be cool

Look, all your suggestions like "use turrets" or "claim more land" are not any real solutions, it still takes time that can't be spend on building. And claiming takes land I do not need preventing others to claim themselves in the future. I want to build, focus on building and its planning, not to spend time killing mobs again and again for nothing. Or wait while got killed and got killed again in few minutes. Sure, when I need to gain gold on one of my accounts, I do daily quests and hunt mobs around the map like anyone else. Nothing agianst that, except that group spawns are making it much easier. But when I build, I want to focus on building only, not to claim, not to chat, not to hunt, not to do anything else. And, while building, every minute spent with killing mobs is wasted building time. Do you know how long it takes to kill all of dragons in a large group that keep comming and comming? It takes ages. And when you kill them all, some other annoying mob will spawn instead soon, like stupid roamers attacking from behind. @Firefly: Yes, playing alone is the best option usually, because not many players are cooperative, having good manners nor being creative. And if, their friends are not. However, playing AD in single mode (it still exists?) is sort of pointless for me. For that I do not need AD, I could simply use some sort of 3D block editor. I am sure AI can generated such editor in "no time". Plus no one will ever be able to discover my builds and I will never discover anything built by others, which is a pity.

Hmm maybe a barrier device for builder class that makes a bubble around the character that blocks damage and prevent creature to going through the barrier could help, or a turret block which can only placed on claims, the block could also allow defensiv building on castles or settelments and would be fit in the fantasy setting of the game as a defense against the monster. Thats the two things that come into my mind about this topic.
