I saw a stream with mod that allows teleport of ores ones.

It was kinda sad. You just pickaxe untill it breaks, build portal on top of the crypt or whatever and portal back, repair and go back digging...

Sailing is atleast so distraction, might run into sea serpent or turtle if check a new route. It makes the game more fun, else its literally just grind for mats and unpolished combat :/

You don't even need much silver. 1 full 16 slot boat should suffice for whatever you may need, as a singular person in terms of silver. You don't have to establish a trade route or whatever to transport this.
