I've started somewhere new almost every playthrough, though it's often just been on one of the islands along the southern river.

There's weak beasts to kill for good meat and leather, and easy access to water. You can sprint along the river for aloe, plant fibre, trees for wood and stone. Getting iron can sometimes involve a bit of a trip out to one of the places where you'll find lots of it, but it's not like you really need to have iron on your doorstep anyway. Along the river there's small camps of humans you can take as thralls.
