travel is easily altered using portals, except obviously when hauling ore.. then its boat.
personally.. i have a carrot garden surrounded by a trench in the meadows as well as a boar area... with a portal. my main base is in the black forest. i have a portal for wood in the meadows i move if i run out. have a portal to the starting runes. i have a portal to other continents. a portal to the trader i built next to him up in the trees. have other portals at crypts just for hauling stuff that isnt ore and for repairs. foo di have in abundance. i have chests of deer meat. chests of boar meat. chest of queens jam. 12 bee hives with chests of honey. more carrots and such than i can even harvest at this point.
if your complaining about a lack of food or travelling for it... you got some issues.. and save your berries for jam and such. dont eat em. just eat meat and honey till you got the cooking pot. then save the special stuff for hard fights.

I assume you haven't gotten to the plains yet? It wasn't an issue for me until now, since I've gotten impatient due to having so much new content to focus on, and have gotten sick of constantly stocking up on food only to need more. Perhaps I'm overestimating what quality food I need, but the later game food takes FOREVER to get, even just a few meals worth. Wolves rarely spawn. Lox rarely spawn and take forever to kill. Thistle, well I have to search for it for a while. I have to find a ton of Draugr to make a few sausages. It's just really time consuming and boring IMO.
