ah yes. self control is a issue now days. im playing thru without any mods or cheats.
travel is easily altered using portals, except obviously when hauling ore.. then its boat.
personally.. i have a carrot garden surrounded by a trench in the meadows as well as a boar area... with a portal. my main base is in the black forest. i have a portal for wood in the meadows i move if i run out. have a portal to the starting runes. i have a portal to other continents. a portal to the trader i built next to him up in the trees. have other portals at crypts just for hauling stuff that isnt ore and for repairs. foo di have in abundance. i have chests of deer meat. chests of boar meat. chest of queens jam. 12 bee hives with chests of honey. more carrots and such than i can even harvest at this point.
if your complaining about a lack of food or travelling for it... you got some issues.. and save your berries for jam and such. dont eat em. just eat meat and honey till you got the cooking pot. then save the special stuff for hard fights.
