I agree with everything you said. Well done video. My favorite main base location is a fairly small meadow or black forest island. I clear cut it, spawn proof it and build. When I get to plains, I try to find another island or peninsula, build a raised earth wall, add spawn proofing and set up the big farm. I also agree about using a flexible portal system instead of many dedicated portals, at least until you have a surfiet of fine wood. For the same reason, I stopped using reinforced chests (even though they are the most efficient in the game) because I want the fine wood for portals and furniture and the iron for gear and construction. I found a mod that offers a bronze age chest which i like a lot.
I believe that is an option in the Hildir Request update. Also, you can get a mod to teleport anything, or one that has tiers of portals. I think Tier 1 is what the vanilla game has. Tier 2 requires swamp materials and allows porting copper, tin and bronze. Tier 3 requires mountain materials and allows porting iron. Tier 4 requires Mistlands materials and allows porting anything.

Very Strategic. Thank you.
Love the videos. btw Val-high-mmm not Val-him. Triggers me. Can’t help it lol 😅.
that is fair I should be scripting more.
Now that it's becoming a bit less niche, how are your thoughts on base locations in a no portal game?
I really hope they make an update for the portals to allow you to bring ore through them. It's an needless inconvenience.
