I would like to see an item that increased the number of slots, like the Meginjord increases the total weight. I'm not a fan of compartmentalizing storage. I would rather have the flexibility to fill the slot/weight limit without additional restrictions.

FWIW, I don't remember much of an issue when I used a portal, since you can drop your portal in 30 seconds (if that) to get anything you now need and/or forgot.

Try fitting all you need, including sufficient mats for repair stations of high-level equipment in your inventory and/or ship, assuming you may not be able to get to your base for days or weeks.

I recently developed a design for a "stone shack" that I can pop up in a minute or so that would at least give me a fighting chance if a horde attacked happened unexpectedly in the field. Fortunately I haven't had to test it yet, but I have used it many times for overnight shelter in the plains while searching for Yagluth. It takes 2 iron (for the stonecutter) about a stack of stone and a stack of wood.

I am heading out now to prepare to fight Yagluth, assuming I can find the alter again. I have no idea what I'll need for Mistlands, but I assume it's going to be a learning experience. I might need more stone for the roof and a better way to vent the fire!

That said, the shack has no door, so sealing it up too tight could be a problem in the case of death...
