Tips as in? Too much tips for me to list xD I'll give three major ones.
Preventing raids?
Surviving raids?
Luring raids away?
Preventing Raids :
"Chaos Totem" (From the Meat Workbench)
It can adjust the amount of the Raiders that will spawn, however this is a
Late-game item and
requires you to know Where to get the material for you to Obtain it
"Leaf Dummy Doll" & "Leaf Mascot" (From the Plant Workbench) (Find the blueprint in the Mushroom Forest/Swamp area)
These two items does the same thing, Reduce/Prevent raiders from spawning by 2 or 20
Extremely good for Early game when you don't want Raiders to bother your Base & your friendly NPCs

Surviving Raids :
Honestly...all you need is "Stairs"...no joke
Just click on the Stairs and set the Y to high up and stay there until the Raid runs out...
It's a Cheap win, I know.
Well...you could also make "Stone Bench" to stop Raider's movement on the other side as you use "Bow" or any Weapon to get rid of the raiders on the other side.
Luring raids away :
Get one of your friendly NPC captured
Go and Rescue him/her (or leave them if that fancy you xD Won't judge)
(Tiny tip : put a Teleport red flag near their settlement as you only got 20 minutes to save them)
When you kill the "Guard", loot the "
Decoy Charm" off from him

(The rabbit looking animal is "Ruck")
Put the "
Decoy Charm" onto Any NPC you don't like or want to become the savior of your base
Carry/Move the NPC to somewhere else and Set his/hers Combat to "Survivor" status

(Note : That blue thingy is the "Chaos Totem" as mention above)
(Nun is one of the possible name in-game for Female Native, not Unique character, the clothing are obtain from the Ruin/Dungeon chest)
Now your NPC will not be knock out, thus He/She will not be taken away by the Raiders and lure the Raid away from your base to a more suitable location for you to fight or farm for Resource/Capture Higher level natives
Extra tip :
Raids are a nice way to Farm for some resources like Iron ingots or Raw Iron ores
Just remember to bring a "
Ruck" for easy resource looting...and yes, they're a bit of late game mob, but they're extremely useful as a Mobile Chest/Carrier & can expand your or anyone's inventory slots when you trade captured "
Ruck" into "
Pocket" from the Trader.
