Me and my friends finally reached the mistlands, and after a while there i want to give my feedback on the issues i read about:

- The Mist: well, i think the wisplight and the wisp torches could use a few more meters of range, but not too much, maybe double it. It can be annoying in some situations, where you basically see just ahead of your nose (not sure when it happens, i think its about the height), but not gamebreaking.

- The Landscape: It can be annoying sometimes, and exploits some weak technical point of the game, but still not not the main issues, and it's really good looking (when you can actually see it)

- The Progression: This is what i think feels really wierd about the mistlands.
We are there for a while, and did only a few mines, but we have stored a lot of materials we couldn't use at all, never happened in previous biomes, and we didn't get any sense of progression.
Now we just got five black cores, and we'll be basically forced to circle forge/rafinery/magic table (which i don't like at all to do, it feels almost like cheating) to make use of them, or wait another long time without any progression, to get at least to 10 cores, to unlock something useful... and if we circle the table we'll get to craft a lot of things all at once with all the materials we stored.
What's left after that? I guess the queen.
I'm not sure about they could fix it now, maybe reduce to 3 cores the requirements for the tables, maybe link the refinery to the presence of a black forge or magic table to compensate for that, or remove the eitr requirements from the carpace armor and something else, to make use of the collected materials earlier, i don't know.

I might change my opinion later, but for now i think the progression is the only real issue of the mistlands.
Did i get something wrong?

Gotta agree on the mist and terrain, just make the wisp light upgradable.

I also think that the progression does feel off because it depends a lot on RNG how many cores you'll find and then there is only one upgrade to the new benches...Unless you want to build with black marble there aren't a lot of reasons to spend a lot of time in the mistlands once you got your little mushroom farm running.
