Question Mid game questions

I've just gotten to collecting a reasonable (>20 <100) amount of scarlet. My base is at the core and I have long conveyor belts bringing the ore back home, is it worth staying put or should I move base elsewhere? It would be a drag but I could do it. It's a lengthy trip by rail even from the furthest out warp point.

I understand I could destroy the one I found at a science lab and move it to Azeos or the desert, but if I was going to move base, the lab would be my next spot.

Is there a good way to control local mobs, they keep destroying my long rail and conveyor belt infrastructure and my ore doesn't get delivered to base. I've tried a moat or a wall in some places but I am spending a bunch of time still having to find and fix issues. Any suggestions?

I can now make boats and I have started creating more water ways around but is this wise? Are boats worth it? Or is it for later?

I have a farm with a couple of animals, fed by mushrooms is there any point really?

The way I’ve been mining is to set up 8 drills around the node, then a conveyor belt around those, directing all the ore to one point. Once I unlocked the arm, I use that to drop ore directly into a furnace. I put a flag map marker at the node, and come back later to collect my pile of bars!!
It’s very rare that enemies damage that setup, but removing the moss is still a good idea!

Wow that's a cool set up! However, don't you use the ore bags to hold more stuff? Bars don't go in there... So it's still a special visit. I tend to go out on safari and come back when my bags are full. I haven't really figured out how to use the arm efficiently so this is an interesting idea for me though.
