- Nobody wants to make more than one base, especially not thousands of tiles apart from each other. Too much time to set up and upkeep, alt shit with keys and curio, you have to choose which base contains your best industry, etc etc
- having your main base on a secluded island is pure ass because you can’t mine under oceans - every serious village needs more iron than one little island can provide
at most it should be larp shit like trees you can replant elsewhere. Force Dakkan into a knarr to continue his rare tree murder spree
