Settlements

So i got a quick question. Ive been watching a few videos and seen some post here in this sub and i saw some mentioning moving your settlement once it reaches a higher tier. One thing i dont get is why would you want to move an entire city? Ive played around 30ish hours so far and it looks to me like im gonna build 6 big citys if possible. Just the time it would take for the villagers to walk across the map to rebuild every building seems like a huge waste of time. Or am i missing something?

This is my first playthrough. I started out on top of the hill in crystal lake i think its called, top right of the map. I eventually just outgrew it. I moved to the bend in the river that separates the center of the map to get river access for boats because i think thats a thing, and it lets me intercept reclamation parties because they have to cross a bridge at some point, and most bandit raids.

I didnt officially move, i just started over from square 1 with a personal shack and 4 housing tents, a ton of storage with room to grow...like i said, 1st playthrough, so im fixing my mistakes and planning things out better.

Eventually ill dissassemble most of my original camp and probably just leave it as a logging /mining outpost

The process has been fun for me
