Yeah but the normal farm with traps will not yield enough meat for B&E. I think it's easier to make wooden flooring than pig houses.

I guess it's easier to make a Spider farm than a Lureplant farm, but good point. Also sometimes feed it to pigs. 

Never been able to create a farm or anything, mostly because, due to the fact that i can never seem to have a reliable way to deal with deerclops, so he generally breaks everything except a my alchemy machines/dragon fruit farms

Ice Staff + Beefalo

Ohhhhh. So thats how you kill deerclops without extincting your entire workforce herd of beefallo, i usually thought the staves were useless because most of my troubling-encounters are with multiple enemies, but seems like they could come in handy in fights like mactusk and deerclops.

Yeah tragically saw what happened when you don't have the ice staff before DC spawns. But all players learn. 

Deerclops has been terrible, he extincts any and all beefallo hordes i send after him, breaks every pigs face in the general vicinity, and casually steps over toothtraps with no reaction except as if he was getting constantly poked with a tiny needle in the foot. not to mention the fact that he seems immune to the whole BEES! OH GOD NOT THE BEES! situation/

Multiple bee mines help but when placed near beehives and triggered during the day.

I'd love to make multiple bee mines to murder anything at any time, except for the fact that i have no idea where people get so many bees >.<

Bees respawn very rapidly both from beehives and bee boxes. They stack up to 20, and after 3-5 Bee Boxes, you really don't have to make more bee boxes per camp, assuming you have about 4 flowers per box. Thus, it's very simple to make bee mines requiring the same amount of bees (4) per mine as bee boxes. 

 

Finally, when triggered, any bees not killed are reusable.

Hmm.. interesting, the only foreseeable problem would be if a pig or something trips the mine instead of deer clops. i can only imagine THAT mess

Yes most pigs don't spawn near the beehive areas.

 

Spiders are iffy, but almost never ever see them in the Beehive grasslands area.

Remember the title of this thread? spiders are EVERYWHERE in default + 

Anyways, usually i try to get my base camp up near a herd of beefalo, if no such luck, then i go out exploring, find a herd, get a beefallo horn and lead them back to my base

Yes default + is still true with lower spider nest spawning in the beehive grasslands, but not necessarily elsewhere. It can be set up as another "kill zone" area if nearby. Else-wise, it just takes selective mine placement/clearing out a zone of spider nests.

The hard part about clearing out spider nests in default + is that they all start as tier 2, which means by the time you get equipped to destroy them, their tier 3, and burning them down just throws all the spiders out into the wild to kill you even easier

Short of the 8 logs and 2 ropes and make the log suit,  you come equipped with everything else so it's doable, evening out the balance. Just lay down traps if still having problems or clean them out a little after dusk when they vacate the nests.

Well. i wandered upon the battlegrounds of a beefalo vs. spider war, used that monstermeat to hire some mercenaries and took out 3-4 tier 2 dens

Agreed! We need to create a suggestion thread. I have a feeling this will be implemented in no time!

woah, they just then did it, damn they good!

just wanted to stop it before people started actually believing that...
