Also, being a noob is the fun part. Exploring and finding stuff is what gives this game life.

yup, but then my inventory gets full so i have to decide what to drop and what to take back to base and get stuck in this loop of finding swamp or finding loot

If you are to the point of looking for a swamp you should have portals and not have to worry about that. Always carry one so you can drop it and dump stuff back at base.
