So I've been having bad luck on the Pristine server finding a good spot to settle, walking up and down the shorelines finding very little. Running out of options I started walking inland and found myself inside a beautiful forest with a relativity flat landscape. Before setting up shop there I wanted a better understanding of what I would need to do and deal with to get some of the basic needs and resources such as clay, tar, and water. There is a mountain nearby like 30 tiles away form me so ore shouldn't be an issue and water about 70-100 tiles away. I was thinking it might be too much work to even be worth the effort and that is why everyone is shoreline. If anything I am just looking for some feedback as I really want to enjoy this game and don't want to do something that will make me more frustrated with it.
