Well to be fair, every biome is pretty good and are places which requires progression. It's actually one of the best implemented biomes I've ever seen in gaming since there's always something useful in these places where you need to go.


Well as for base building, it's actually something i think which is the best in terms of practicality. I'd say meadows and plains are best mainly for that reasons. Usually meadow doesn't have much but I usually gather from other biomes.

Swamp I think is the third best/worst biome mainly since you get blood pudding, red cubes and chains from this biome and you can farm them easily at the cost of enemies constantly attacking the base. I also think there is a tough slime that drops an ore but I'm sure it's too rare or not the most reliable to get iron but it's there.

Black forest isn't great but you always get dwarven eyes which is handy and maybe those blue plants but you also get them from swamps. It does have the best visuals and I guess cone trees so that's that. The biggest problem are gonna be the trolls which are gonna be a pain without trenches. I wasn't sure if it's worse than mountain since it almost doesn't offer anything other than the eyes however you can sprint around freely which is a good thing compared to mountains.

I'd say mountains is usually the worst place to build a base and that's simply because there's a lot of annoyances like jumping, falling, snowstorms, setting up the base and the loot just isn't that great compared to plains biome in terms of food or useful loot. However outside of its issues, the best thing about building on mountains is that getting raided becomes much less difficult which makes it far more reliable than making trenches or ground walls.

I generally don't think any biomes are too terrible per say to build a base since they have some ups but I'd say that biomes like Swamp, black forest and mountains are generally good for portal camps than bases since majority of the times you can bring most loot with a portal and the ores require you to transport with a boat more than making a new base. Then again it's also really good to build a base near another biome since transporting said items from distance can sometimes be annoying.
