What I have been doing, mostly, for every new biome update is hopping into another world. I got tired of searching my main world with the base I have put hundreds of hours into, only to find nothing there. I found the Mistlands so, so long ago and build a little outpost there hoping the area would update. All I got were a couple seekers that immediately came and destroyed most of my outpost, almost stranding me there. It is more fun finding another world and going to get the materials I need there. Oh, and I also despise sailing against the wind for hours, upon hours.
