If I create a Floating Base, What About Invasions Or Other Issues?

[Nu]

I've got back into Terraria after a long absence, and I was considering making a floating base, like in the floating islands area. However, how feasible is that for various events and whatnot, like invasions? Will my base be completely safe, or nah?

(For the record, I've never actually reached Hardcore yet)

hardmode* is what youre talking about
hardcore is a character difficulty setting that adds permadeath

Ok, so
Invasion dont happen in the sky, unless you are post golem, where a matian invasion will spawn, and i wouldnt recomend making a base up in the sky, bcs when you reach hardmode, there will by wyverns, which are very difficult enemies, so no, i wouldnt recomend.

Yeah, one word: Wyverns.

Hmm, alrighty, so not in the sky, okay.

That said, it should be floating somewhat off the ground to deal with Wraiths, right? I remember hearing about them.

Actually I do have a sky base, so long as you don’t build it too high, you’ll be good. You may have to manually build an island, but I’m pretty safe from events and enemies.

On small maps I think it's really hard to build it high enough but not too high. You'll probably have to remove lots of grounds to be save between Wyverns and ground-based invasions. Imo there are better ways, like traps and blocked doors so the base cannot be entered for most enemies but left with hoiks or teleporters (and entered with the RoD).

Do it between the sky and the overworld
