Bear and lava monster spawns are out of control by age 3 in Ages of the sky

I am playing ages of the sky and am about 80% through age 3. Both of these issues would seem to be related to the move to skyblock as they were not significant issues in regular Sevtech and out of balance from the normal world version.
Bears are constantly (two or three times per minecraft day) spawning on my base island despite it being fully lit and it being daytime and there seems to be no way to avoid this. This is proving to be very disruptive, frustrating and annoying as by age three you should at least be able to occupy your base without fear of having the complex craft you are working on being constantly interrupted, especially as by this point you need to occupy a larger area to build oil and steam machines. I would assume that in normal Sevtech they spawn just as frequently however there they have a lot more area/distance to spawn on so only rarely spawn within agro range of the player.
Lava monsters spawn at a rate making it impossible to land on any island with an exposed surface lava pool. In general there are around 10 to 15 of them by the time you get in range and the constant fireball spam makes fighting them at range using an airship or platform near impossible as even with fire protection you will likely be knocked into the void. Even if you do try to fight them at range they respawn faster than you can kill them.
In addition if you have an island with a lava block on the outside with a flow into the nether this can result in any cave or platform nearby quickly being filled with lava monsters. In normal world Sevtech you have a lot more room to be able to dodge and fight them at distance or more options to retrieve lava/obsidian from underground pools which are more manageable.
Please adjust spawn rates of bears and lava monsters to improve the overall enjoyment of the game and bring Sky more in line with the normal world version.
