If some of you SCOUTED AHEAD, marked important locations, and then planned bases/outposts accordingly, you wouldn't have any issues with transportation of ore.

Process on site. It's when people want to rush, or be lazy and not want to build more than one base that you run into issues.

Still takes a lot of time if the ~important location~ is 30 minutes on boat away from your base. It doesn't add any sort of challenge to the game, it's just BORING.

I personally haven't used any of these tips while i was beating the game, but now, with Yagluth defeated, i see absolutely no sense spending my very only life on sailing all across the map just to deliver some iron.

Anyways, as Nefrarya mentioned, this thread is becoming a discussion of play styles, which is absolutely useless. The point was to help people in need, if you are not in need - just pass by and have a nice day
