Aw yir.
Finally beat the game, using the same character from my last post.
For those having trouble, try exploring around you a bit for items that washed ashore with you, and see if you can find a black spot on the minimap nearby. It might be a little cobblestone house you can use as a base.
Monsters can always see you, even if there's walls between you, so your best bet is to make a circular spiral around your entrance so their pathing won't let them get inside. The easiest way to do this is to use saplings.
You can see how I did it in my base here;
The area with mushrooms is entirely closed off, the only entrance being that little "maze" to the left.
A good bet is to try to plant saplings around your base in clever ways to trick the enemy path finding. (They really just walk towards you with some randomization.
Maybe simple A* if the path between you is short?)
