That meadow connected to a plains is a key part of the game for resource collecting, I built small bases in 2 such places, 1 is a dark forest borders the swamp in a corner, the other is a meadows in a corner bordered by a plains.
You can get alot of resources without having to do much lol, its also a way to easily get your hands on higher tier items than you would otherwise be ready for, just build a tiny house surrounded by raised stone/mud, the only thing that could get you is a wraith or a deathsquito flying over
