Nothing exciting going on really and there's no challenge to be had there, I'm sure hauling ore back home will get a lot more interesting and requiring more preparation in future updates with more worthwhile stuff to do there. There's really nothing going on when sailing except for the occasional serpent that quits being a threat the moment you get a fine wood bow, in my experience. However, sailing the actual ore back to base itself got really stale for me quite fast. There is some preparation in that regard. Pretty fun, I liked making a small temporary storage for ore as well close to the shore so I could come back later to pick it up. You could get creative in some ways, using the hoe in the swamp while dragging a cart full of iron or throwing a cart full of silver off a large mountain. Especially getting silver ore off a mountain, even more so when that mountain is surrounded by plains when you're in gear not suited for it. I liked the challenge of hauling the ore I've gathered out from a biome to store it in my boat or in a cart. I don't really mind the initial trip to find ore and mining it itself, the journey by boat or on land to find new biomes and setting up a little portal room back to base were quite fun first time around. Oh knocked out BoneMass? Oh here, Iron is transportable. Beat the elder? Sure, carry Tin and Copper on through, but keep hoofing that Iron. I'd love to see them tweak portals so you could port older ores once you defeat the boss of that age. Clearly I do alright, Odin comes and gives me the approving eyeball pretty often. I still make forward bases while I explore, for hub portals. I don't feel like I am cheating the journey so much since I do still actually have to travel from said crypt back to base to get my ore. I don't drop portals like I should, so I still generally have to walk/boat back to my main base, I just do it without the 20-30 trips or the wrestling of carts over terrain. I can't always play for hours on end though, so around the Iron Age someone pointed out the Hopping seeds method of passing off ore and after cleaning muck out of crypts, it just saved time and my sanity to seed pass it. For a bit when I started, I tried the long haul with bronze and tin.
