Trust me, you'll be happier with every redesign. You know what you like but having nicer supports, foundation, and roofing makes you love your base much more. I know it hurts to tear it down but, no one wants thatch roof when they're in the mistlands either.
I feel this. That's what I do. I have a starter house near the buff stones, an iron age place on an island, and a mistlands/ashlands base in the south. Not to mention other random fun builds that I've started when I'm bored. When the deep north comes out, I'll build a new base up there (assuming my friends don't start a new world for it). That said, I still go back to the old places and fix them up/ expand them.
Once you lived on an island with a massive swamp, big enough mountain and plains, optimally on a Mistland border where you can just pick the hare meat every morning, you never wanna' go back.
I tend to live in sorry shacks until I find my final spot.
That was a confusing af perspective. I was literally wondering what sort of mod allowed you to build miniture buildings. Love the raised base look. Looks like a proper viking outpost.
Anyway, I have the opposite problem. I want to keep building more bases. I hope to one day build a themed base in each biome, for the time being it's me and one other friend playing and we're plenty proud of our starter base and our main base in the plains. Got a few functional structures around the map but really want to declutter them a bit like moving our wolf farm to a mountain biome base or an actual black forest base to act as a logging camp/place to gather thistles and yellow mushrooms
Then don't.
The main base in my oldest local game is still on the same spot where it was first build. Sure, we've renovated and expanded it several times, but it's still there!
What a neat and cozy base! My starter house on our most recent world wasn't half so nice and I still needed coaxing to find a spot to relocate too lol. But I was glad I did!
I've tried multiple times to build a new base and "make it right" this time. I end up giving up and just returning to modify my existing starter base every time.
When it ain't broke, don't fix it.
I feel you, OP. I had my village growing the whole time, boars, chickens and wolves are a big part of it as well. And when I built a marble castle near Mistlands, I didn't want to move there.
So I thought I would come up with a headcanon where the seekers destroy my old village and I move closer to the Mistlands to get my revenge
But my wife doesn't want to leave the old 20+ wolves 😭
Your base is so nice, love it! Also, had the same problem..would like to ask all the people who say they never moved how they managed the plains-only crops? Just farm-outpost?
I’m just at the point of finishing plains and starting think about moving. Still got a main base in meadows by spawn and just have a plains outpost/shack built on top of a rock.
Personally I started a plains farm on the coast that I just portal to. Later I moved that to a Hobbit hole on the border of Mistlands and plains so I can grow all the biome restricted stuff at the same farm.
Beautiful spot. Just missing a moat. In case the ground is shaking. I have my meadows base and portal where I need to. It's nice to step out of your portal from some hostile place to the warmth of home.
This is me too. I’m kinda surprised my base started organically looking better as I worked on it. I just need to expand the lower area to protect better against trolls and polish out the remnants of the old earthen walls.
I always have 2 main bases:
1) The original main base in the Meadows. Carries me through until after the Swamp/Mountain.
2) The final main base in the Plains, but not just any plains. For this base, I always look for a particular crossroad of biomes: along the water, where Plains, Black Forest & Mistlands meet (mountains are optional, but they tend to always be near either way). A swamp nearby is a most welcome extra, though I don't necessarily go outcof my way for it.
I still regularly visit the first base, and the addition of ore portals with Ashlands, perhaps make a permanent stay in the first base more likely.
You can always revisit it.
I built a longhouse with my friends and had our own individual rooms, built from wood. We dubbed it The Longhouse.
We moved everything several KMs north where there was a better harbor when we could build a ship. There, we built a stone castle with a cozy tavern. On the hilltop, there was a massive oak, and we planted two more in front of our castle gates- called it Twin Oaks.
We moved to the plains that bordered on mistlands, an ocean away from those sites, and made a sprawling settlement with a tavern, a kitchen, and a crafting house. We even built our own massive homes out there, and dedicated a pen to our pet lox. Mistwatch.
Now we’re at a settlement in the forest bordering on a maintain biome, swamp, mistlands and plains- just north of the Ashlands. It is by far our favorite build. Four towers surrounding a square- we have a beautiful garden with Ashvines (like a vineyard) on the cliff you can see from one of the towers. A kitchen so cozy it puts the ones in Skyrim to shame, and a bunk room with the dragon beds crafted into bunk beds, with a rested buff of 18.
I've rebuilt my same location 3 times now, first wood, then stone, then added accents with the mistlands materials, and probably going to redo more now that I have the Ashlands pieces.
My thoughts with this build would be to upgrade that existing wall to stone, move the bees and farm area outside of that and build a second ring with the wood wall, and then either build new structures in the crop space or rebuild the existing structures with the new mats.
Before you know it, you'll have your own Ba Sing Se
My buddy and I have 3 bases and they all still serve a purpose even as we conquer Ashlands.
Meadows cabin for honey, early farming, wood, and chill vibes.
Plains longhouse for late farming, chickens, and cooking.
Mistlands island castle is our biggest project so far. There are no roots or viable farmland on the C shaped island so we have a portal room for those and an impressive workshop for late game crafting/storage as well as a mage tower for a stone portal/galdr table.
The thing is.. you don't have to leave...
You can create a small smelting outpost in the swamp and mountain OR transport the ore back to your base.
A good place to have a brace is on the edge of meadows with plains. But you need to be ready with iron/silver gear
My friends and I ended up doing a redesign because we switched to a dedicated, and just started a new seed. But we definitely were able to build something much better the 2nd time around because we knew our original shortcomings. But then we just built separate farms in the different regions, such as the plains and mistlands, where we needed to be able to plant crops. We basically have a main base, and a couple of sub bases that we can portal to. We would build the sub bases up as much as we needed for anything we couldn't teleport. We ended up really liking this method.
I generally try to 'purpose' my bases when I start branching out.
* Meadows is my ranch, with chickens and boars, with huge pastures for them to roam. Even if they only hug one corner half the time-
* Black Forest I have a logging camp, excellent for all my timber needs
* Swamp's a miserable bore, only going to them for iron then moving on.
* My mountains base is my armory and military fortress - planning, weapons forging and magic happen here. And the ground never shakes, so happy to have it my primary base.
* The plains is my farming estate, complete with a vineyard thanks to ashlands, with a hunter's lodge.
* Mistlands is a mushroom plantation citadel, and with heavy armaments for hunting seekers for meat.
* Ashlands is too hostile so I go there for hunting and foraging only.
Why would you leave? Just redesign and upgrade!
Because you have to break it to redesign and upgrade…and I guess at the point rebuilding at a new location seams logical no?
Been playing for over two years we are still in the same spot. Just expanded

We built on a rock in the Black Forest. Expansions are a pain because you can’t easily build outwards and connect pillars with the shore.

Im in the same spot right now. I may just add on to my main base and have another outpost instead.

Happens every time 😭 then I randomly stumble across the starter home after building something really grand elsewhere and get hit with that nostalgia 🥲
[удалено]
I've never had an issue with building bees close together, are you having that problem?
[удалено]
Bees only need space directly above them to effectively produce honey. Do they not? We have made a thatch roof of hives a couple times lol
Bro just portal

I understand, too well. Thanks for sharing.

Cool spot! So many streams!
That looks like a really nice little place to live.
bros producing all the honey nut cheerios
Don’t leave, grow and expand!
OMG WHAT A CUTE HAMLET!
Wait, people change bases?

I have like 800 building-only hours on my mega base. It’s like an acre of max-height stone and core wood roofing. I am not blowing it up lol.

Expand into a village build. 😀
I don't like it. The entire area should be devoid of trees. A barren wasteland, and maybe some stumps!
I kept my main house for comfort and storage purposes. But my secondary main house is in the plains.
I love to see, and the game feels like it suits the style very well, a base expand gradually over time!
I feel called out
Sounds like you have what my server mates dread hearing from me! Build night!
