As @Rainbow Fresh said, it depends based on your play style and possible mods, but it also depends on the location, i usually try to find a location with clay, peat, water and a forest nearby. I also think it's best practice to build some outposts around the world to simplify your long journeys with secure stops, and in doing so you can also lay the foundation to build future bases that give you some things that other bases can't, like warmer climates crops.

Really cool design! I'd also add a simple wooden frame in the window to enhance the design

I usually use chiseled canals in VS vanilla to give a little nice touch at my garden. In this photo the garden is real basic but i hope i gave you a nice idea PS: If you have "Hardcore Water: Transport Edition Forked" mod you can also build real canals and enanche your world building real acqueducts that feed your garden

Interesting build, i like that is based on a real culture. I Also really like the little fire spot with croks and the rug.

If you play in a server right now, people are able to steal boat attachments and loot from chests. I would like that when you create your boat is only yours and it is automatically claimed to you, or in alternative a way to lock you chests in the boat.
