You’re probably burning yourself out because you’re taking too long to progress in the game. 300 carrot farm with a massive boar pen and yet you aren’t even past the swamps. Try and focus on game progression over base expansion; once you hit the plains is when bigger bases start to become beneficial. Boars are literally useless post-mountains, carrots are barely used as well. There’s really no need to create these elaborate mega-farms in the early game as the food source progression tree changes rapidly in the mid-game

It's worse than you think I've not even killed the elder, just found the swamp and build a huge "in case I die" base near the elder boss.

I'm probably just playing the game way way way too slow and like you're saying, If I progressed faster a lot of the things I'm putting a lot of effort into would already be replaced by something else down the road.

It's certaintly a me thing then.
