New base near Mistland or No?
Is it a better idea to start a whole new base near the Mistlands? In a black forest biome or something? I've been exploring the Mistlands and I found out too late that I should have brought a stack of black metal with me to make sap extractors. Well that's a full hour long voyage round trip in a longship to my base and back. Or start a whole new chain of production near by. If I can find a decent plain biome close.
I'm a bit confused at what I should be doing. I had no clue I needed to bring raw mats. I figured I could send everything back through a portal. (Researched through the Fandom Wiki first)
I'm guessing that basing out of/near mistlands is completely optional?

Try to take over a Drverger base.
I felt a bit bad about them and its going to be a hard fight, but its totally worth it

I build around the ancient roots close to the edge of the Mist biome.
Level some ground for farming.
Add portal.
I only have a ML outpost for farming and sap. Making a full-on base is a no-go for me. Not enough value for investment.

Comfy little hut just across the border in the black forest. For crops, I found an abandoned dvergr ruin near the shoreline way out there on the fringe. It's ideal. I have too many hours invested in my main base to abandon it.

There is no need for a round trip once you've made landfall.
Portal back home, arrange a boat and go back to the Mistlands with Black metal. Take the Moder power if you're worried about head-wind. Take 2 iron bars if you haven't found any and you build a Stonecutter to build *and destroy* Black marble buildings.
Black marble is much, much stronger than stone. There's plenty of it, use it.

I build all sort of bases.. half the fun the game. I have not built in mistlands but just finished off the queen so thats my next challenge. My "mistlands base" was on an island with a small plains and huge mistlands and a black forest. I built a base in the black forest and never was bothered. Portals are the way to go. Have fun with it. Cheers.

Find an area where a few small valleys converge, terrain wall the ends off and cover the perimeter with spawn stopping constructions, place misty lamps everywhere. I used the terrain to my advantage and utilized premade Towers, Harbors, Dig Sites for starter bases, it's entirely doable--as in the other biomes, you need to make a strategy from your surroundings...got Plains bases, Swamp bases--can make them anywhere with proper planning.

You might wanna start near the edge of it and work your way through it. Like for example if you are in the Black Forest start your base there. It's atleast better than Plains, Mountains, and Swamp Biome.

You'll want to make a small base in the Mistlands as there are some ingredients that can only grow there.

It's hard to build inside Mistlands because of the gjall, but taking over a ruins or tower is doable. As far as I know, black metal is the only thing you must bring with you. Other metals are available from ruins and broken dvergr forts. You will need to make a farm there, but it doesn't have to be a full base.

I wouldn't build a full blown base. Too tedious and risky. However, you do need an outpost for extractors and some "vegetables".
That being said, you only really need black metal and mistland is usually very close to plains. No need to drag it from your main base, just go get it in the nearest plains. You just need something to smelt it.
