the raids are definitely something i'd polish if i were them, it's rather arbitrary and not really fun in any way.
i like the idea of having a reason to build defenses, and the risk of losing stuff, but it's rather wack to start by flinging gravel at you and then at some point start dropping meteors, neither are particularly engaging and with the swarm of pals you'll have after just a short while there's not really much you yourself can do to affect things other than build walls..
i think it'd work better if it sent a mini-boss and some normal pals, so you could either focus on the miniboss or pick off the small ones.
Not to mention that if one of your pals can send the raiders flying away, they won't try to pathfind their way back. I've managed to fend off some very annoying "deadly pals" raids with a couple of reptyros. After some minutes, the raiders will start fleeing and despawn.
The base diameter is very small, too, so making something like a maze or something like a kill corridor requires a lot of pre-planning
