Practical-build means not putting in effort beyond the benefits provided. These giant castles and mansions probably don't provide benefits commensurate with the time taken to build them. Building just what you need to be successful and no more just seems like practical common sense.

Yeah I agree with you both but I used the term 'Anti-Build' meaning not doing more than necessary and definitely not doing much of anything to make it look nice. This is especially true for me because I've been playing no portal runs a lot lately. Investing much in early bases is, to me, just a waste. Especially since I'm liable to recycle early bases and cart the materials away to be reused for another site.

As an example of recycling, that base shown in the first picture no longer exists. I had to kill a few days to ramp up turnip farming and in that time built a horrible bridge that let me cart everything off to the port shown in the second picture. The only thing left is the original house with the comfort items and campfire for resting.

As a side note, I totally forgot about the 'rule of 3 and 40' (semi-spoiler see wiki entry for events) and was just half finished with the bridge when I got a 'The forest is moving'. Worked out well, lots of free lumber and two ancient seeds.
