I would say its worth creating a resource outpost further away for gathering and/or refining resources.

This is actually the part in the game where I was torn about how portals function.

You end up in this weird position where you need "early game" heavy metals, to refine your "new" heavy metals, so you ether have to sail all your "new" metals back to refine them, or sail your "early game" metals up to your new outpost.

Or you have to find "early game" metals in another Black Forest Biome near your new outpost.


This part of the game is a bit jank.


It wouldn't be so bad exploring Black Forest again if there was new things to see and explore, if there was like "late game" Black Forests with different things in it. But there isn't so unless you have to rehash the same looking area, looking for the same metals again, you have to opt to sail your stuff around, until you build a new outpost.


This is where I think you ought to be able to store more on your ships. Like, being able to trek around for resources and not only have "4" slots on your second ship.
