I've never bothered to try and build a decent base. Why create buildings when the enemy mobs can just spawn inside them. In both Story mode and in Adventure mode where I build my Colony in one of the 3 pre-planned locations, the enemies continue to spawn inside my base. So I only build 3 block high retaining walls around everything to slow down the mobs, and place turrets on 5 block high pillars. If the spawning mechanism for mobs is checking for sky above it - then that might explain my problem.

Examples:
Mob spawned inside Quarantine Tent.
Mob spawned in the 1 block wide space between a wall and my power generator. My colonists went crazy trying to get at it.

In story mode, mobs one time dropped in from an airship, that's fine. And in the final big battle in Story mode the remaining enemies did start from outside the Colony shields.
