sorry, not that kind of farming. I also have a shroom & sap farm. I meant, no reason to keep exploring to find 'nodes' of metal, trees to cut, or something like red mushroom that can't be grown. Its missing any sort of material that you need a lot of but can't get by just hanging out at your camp. Like swamp has iron and thistle, or plains have tar, and so on. The only thing you need a lot of that does not replenish is marble, and its every 10m so not exactly compelling most people to go on an epic adventure to gather some. You can argue royal jelly is that kind of resource. Ive so far been hesitant to use any of mine beyond one stack of mega heal mead. But having experimented with it (new toon and full bore cheating) I don't think I want to play as a mage anyway. If you want to nuke all day every day, you WILL be exploring the mistlands a lot, almost exclusively to keep your supply up.

I agree with what you said about the @base-farm stuff.
