Making things with carpenter's kit in dangerous areas

[Telkar]

We had some low level characters traveling into underground caverns and encountered a rather dangerous spawn for us. So, I was ready to get creative with the carpenter's kit and barricades. I tried to set them up but always got the message:

This area is too dangerous to craft in.

Either the reason I couldn't craft there is that it is a hostile spawning area or cavern, or some hostile creature was near. I don't see a reason for either being able to block me from crafting, personally. It doesn't seem right, but maybe I'm missing something?

It's to prevent exploitation. It keeps you from using barricades, etc., to trap the AI and kill enemies that way.

The most obvious example being trapping the hostile spawns behind the barricades and shooting them with arrows.

I thought the AI could target the barricades if it's blocking them and meant to just use it to buy a little time, but I suppose they can't?

It's also to prevent lag. The AI will try to get around them and the pathfinding in this game takes a lot of processing power, which contributes to lag.

Yah but it makes it hard for Samson to set up a sales table in the sewer so i hate it.
