How to Stop Mobs from Spawning in Core Keeper
Mobs have a place in making your session of Core Keeper exciting and frustrating at the same time. If you want to keep an area mob-free, here are some ways that will help you do so:
Light Up the Area
One of the easiest ways to prevent mob spawning is through lighting up your environment. As mobs are only attracted to dark areas, having torches or other light sources, to illuminate your base can dramatically decrease their spawn chances. Light, in itself, does not really stop spawns but often will place a torch directly atop a tile that mobs would spawn on and blocks them from there.
Build a Safe Room
Another really good way of keeping yourself safe from mobs in the base is to make a safe room. Light this room up and back its walls with thick material, along with a thick door. This will give you a place to fall back on and catch a breath from the real relentless feel of Core Keeper, so you need not always be on your toes for danger.
Clear Out Spawning Areas
Notice where mobs are often spawned and clean it up. Replace the places with well-lit blocks or just place some torches. This will discourage future spawns, and by regularly checking and cleaning these areas, you will be able to keep your base free from unwanted enemies.
Use Special Blocks
Some blocks, such as Diamond Bricks and Obsidian, have fewer spawning mobs. Placing these blocks at the top will make it much harder for spawning tiles to enable the spawning process, thus keeping your base safe from mobs for a longer period. You could use these blocks specifically in your base design to proactively prevent mob spawns.
Place Furniture Strategically
Another great way to prevent spawning is to put furniture over spawning tiles. As one can gather, almost any furniture works due to the fact that it gets in the way of the spawning tile itself, so no enemies will be able to spawn there.
Be Prepared for Anything
While in themselves quite effective, these prevention methods do require a little added due diligence. Core Keeper is a constantly evolving game, and sometimes, new challenges may just pop out at you from anywhere. Keeping an eye out for any potential mob spawns will let you react quickly and keep your base safe.
Using Traps
Setting up traps as the game advances to deal with mobs could be good. Spike traps are, many times, very effective in killing enemies quickly. You may want to try all kinds of traps to set up an automated defence that will free you from always looking after mobs for other gameplay.
Frequently Asked Questions
No, lighting up does not stop the spawns of mobs in their entirety. A light source, however, if right on top of a spawning tile, would avoid the spawning of mobs at that location.
Of all the blocks, Diamond Bricks and Obsidian work well in not allowing mob spawns because they won't often support enemy appearances. Placing these blocks strategically around your base can keep it safe.
Yes, it's good to place furniture on top of spawning tiles. Almost any type of furniture will work to block their emergence as enemies.
Among others, spike traps are intended for an automated defence against mobs. Setting them up would make it easier to clear the enemies without having to directly fight with them, so you can focus on other tasks in Core Keeper.
