Yea I ended up building in a plains a slight distance away from Mistlands. Used a hoe to make a magic root thing somewhat defensive so I'd run to the 3 extractors at that spot every once in awhile. Also set up a portal near a tiny farm by an occupied dverger fort for the puffs.

I get that it's called "Mistlands" but imagine if Mountains you were slogging around in the snow moving 20% slower until eventually late Mountains you gain access to snow shoes or some sort of cape / armor thing that made you lighter on your feet so as to walk on the snow. Even then Mistlands would be worse because the Wisplight and torches barely make a dent imo.

Swamp you can use the hoe to make easy paths to get around or set up fires in the easy to spot dungeons to remove the wet debuff and easily get back rested.

Imo Mistland mist should be very invasive before you get the wisplight or the torches and then when you have them the mists should open up a lot more.
