I have to agree the term anti-build really does not fit; I go with utilitarian.

And the only early base I will actually improve is one near the stones. I know I will be returning there, it is in the Meadows so relatively safe and is usually on a coastline.

I also tend to 'squat' in ruins I find along the way. Minimal improvements to make a rest stop.

As an aside 'no portal' runs are rather interesting as I find you need to be way more efficient in your resource allocation and transport. The cart is, if not overstuffed, far more useful than most people give it credit for.

Throw in an iron man run and it gives the game a new challenge.
