I feel like it's in a good place. I have 4 extractors set up super close to my mistlands bases/portal spots. I had to be on top of it, but I always had enough for all of my crafting and food needs without it feeling like honey. I like it being portable also, I never actually had to boat any resources back from mistlands which are far away. I set up a small away base there and only boated back some iron and older materials I collected when I had a lot of them built up. I'm a fan of the boating system too, I like the relaxing voyages here and there.
