Temporary turn off enemy spawn

[Karina]

Trying to build space station (because npcs getting butchered all the time when on the ground), but every 10 seconds wyvern comes to attack me. Im seriously tired of that piece of ♥♥♥♥ interrupting my work all the time, i killed it dozen of times, but soon after i killed last one- new one comes by to pay me a visit. Is there console command or something to turn off enemy spawn?

To be honest, its not a great idea to build there; those things will always be paying you a visit and since they fly through walls, killing your NPCs as well. You really only need to build around 20 blocks off the ground to avoid most enemies, which is well below the sky biome.

I want to do something fancy. Also, wiki states that wyvern wont spawn near npcs and walls.

Three or more NPCs will completely stop enemy spawning (except in Expert Mode, but even then it's rare an enemy will spawn), so if you place a King or Queen Statue in the area and activate it three times to teleport three NPCs to you, enemies shouldn't spawn as much.

Turning mob spawning of isnt possible, but its possible to reduce it to nearly zero.
1. Use an Peace Candle (Platinum/Gold candle with pink slime) calimg potions
2. Build 2 small shelters and put NPC's there, that reduced it extremly and is easy to remove

To prevent mobspawning at all, you would have to block all spawn places via walls or Lava, wich are both no real options in Sky (Flying mobs can spawn in mid air)

I only care about wyvern, since harpy's wont be able to go through walls. I will add some peace candles as additional safety measure, just to be sure, thx.

If you need help while building, Ill fight off the wyverns fior you if you want

In-game methods of reducing spawn rates are good and all but you could instead download the tshock server software, add the DieMobs plugin to it and host your world on that server. DieMobs allows you to create regions wherein which you can have mobs disappear if they enter.

Did not know about that, thx. Now i can have agroponics in zero gravity! Also, when i build my first sealed room with walls- wyvern stoped spawning completly.

Well, this whole thing turned out to be a disaster. During Blood Moon wyvern spawned inside my base and butchered everyone.

Put a bunch of NPCs up there, drink a Calming Potion, and place a Peace Candle.

[dreynar_swag]

build several screens worth of backwall problem solved:)

Calming potions, peace candle, and a lot of campfires, walls, and torches.

this
although its not a good idea to build a space area for npcs in hardmode
you're better off building a home in the corrupt/crimson or hell

Walls don't work with flying enemies unless you wall the entire place off, which looks pretty ugly.

As far as trashing Wyverns goes, a Stardust Dragon Staff usually does a decent job at fending them off if you're trying to get a piece of quiet. A well-aimed Solar Eruption it (have that in your hotbar, press 1 to select it, and click) will usually one-shot it.
