Does a bonfire disable wildlife spawning in the claimed area?

[Asbel]

I would like to build a bonfire at a certain place, but there is an elite turtle nearby. Will he be able to spawn if i have my bonfire near him?

Bonfires will stop everything except Elites from spawning.
You could put a wall around it.

I still have turkeys and outcasts spawning close enough to my base for my people to run into them when gathering nearby, so I don't know what the radius is on the spawn stop but it isn't the same as the build or safety radii.

are you sure they spawn directly there in stead of spawning somewhere else in the pond and swim over?
Just as common sense question.

Same, i wanted to counter them with my own tamed pirahnas but apparently they do not fight back once tamed, which is utter bollocks, already sent them a suggestion report via in game system to consider this a thing.

how would I know, they don't have GPS tags on them. all I know is that every time I come close to the edge of the platform they are there and ready to chomp.

Well, if the whole pond you're settled at is within bonfire range, they most likely haven't got the memo. if a good chunk of the pond is outside the range, chances are good that they have a spawn somewhere out there and then come over in hope of meeting their preferred food source (humans).

Go to your bonfire and select show area to see exactly where the boundary is. Also piranhas arent really a threat so you should be fine.

I built my second base close to the jungle where the great pyramid was since that area is relatively easy for me now. I placed my bonfire and no more than 10 feet on the other side of a giant tree from it is an outcast camp. They constantly spawn and aggro on me when I'm at my base and they are very close to my bonfire so I'd say this turtle shouldn't be an issue.

Bonfires only stop static spawns within its area (50m select show area in the bonfire menu) Enemies at pois cannot be removes because they provide resources.
