In that case, I’d recommend reporting that as a bug (directly to the help-desk) - because that sounds like the fixes are not working as intended.
100% agreement.
Funcom doesn’t even respond to bugs through the forums here anymore anyways. You have to use the bug reporting link that Dana posted so that your report goes to Inflexion, they are the devs running Conan now, Funcom is just the publisher
I will also mention where I build my bases, usually over water or hard to reach spots, I need not worry about world enemies attacking my thralls. since I had to transfer from siptah I dont even have a base yet just a shack lol, but when I get it made it will be in a spot I don’t have to have those concerns. Consider that with your build
I bet most that upgrades and changes was made by AI.
About thralls i also run after them when they scattered and lock them in no door room XD
well they should let each player decide if they want living settlements for their own thralls. and not just a server wide on/off for everybody
but whatever. you do you Conan
(and yes, i think it was a horrible idea and should never have even been considered to be implemented - Captain Obvious here 
My biggest issue with living settlement being on, is.. we have thralls wandering off so they are not within range of their bench, so we lose their crafting bonuses. That is problematic. it’s like their range is now as short as the ability to craft from thralls/benches once you are more than like 30 steps away.
I think it’s a great feature. On paper.
Provided that it works flawlessly, it should be expanded and enhanced. Thralls on “schedule” actually needing some sleep and food to provide the best bonus they can - crafters and fighters alike.
On top of that i’d like to have a sorting thrall (think Minecraft copper golem) physically walking between chests, sorting them for you as you have defined.
I just like the idea of life in the base/,house or town (actual broken nature of it aside - everybody knows it is fckn broken as sht).
