As for the method to get rocks you could either make a greydwarf farm (i used to have 3 of them in an old save) or find gigantic rocks and break their base (either in the mountain biome or plain biome) so that the rocks will actually break entirely you will get tons of rocks, though my PC is kind of in the weaker side so it actually crash when i do it sometimes.

I don't recommend doing a greydwarf farm for farming rock even though you can afk and get lots of drops from them you still need to tames wolves and hope they don't die due to sneak attacks and that your wolf breeders don't run out of meat or that the the greydwarf spawner get destroyed somehow (that happenned twice when i did it).

That's a good idea. My current island area is close to Meadows and Black Forest, I think the seed I am on also has mountains close by. Hopefully I can find plains close by as well.

I made a "starter" island base in a land-locked lake. I raised the ground as high as possible, but during more severe storms the waves will occasionally wash over it, but it's not very frequent. I have my house and workshop on a foundation built out of core wood that elevates them enough to avoid the water. I have a simple dock for a karve at water level and it definitely gets submerged.
It took literally thousands of stone to do, with a lot of back and forth trips, but for my first real attempt at this kind of terraforming, I'm happy with it.

Very nice! I love it. I think this is a cool way to make a base

I don't mind mining rocks, but I gotta upgrade my workbench to repair my pickaxe so I can gather enough of it
