I got a Main in Plains and portals to all my other mini-bases.
i also enabled travel with ores through portals, otherwise its a megapain and you need to develop every forward base way to much.

i'll also never play on a server that wont allow portal/ore travel. insane timewaste !
I will rebuild the base once i unlock everything, atm i just reached plains.
So its more of a just make it to get it done base.
