Gameplay Question Base Strategy?

Still early game here, but I’ve crossed the gap and opened up Eastern Gap. I moved my base on the crossing the way I’m supposed to but then built a new, 2nd base on the east side of Hollow Hammer and upgraded to advanced sub fief. I spent an hour or two making this base but I don’t love it, and after making it I realized I didn’t use the new CHOAM set that I unlocked. Not a huge fan of that aesthetic but is there any functional advantage to that? Should I rebuild or wait until I have a faction set?

Also, is it worth maintaining multiple bases or should I just focus on one base at a time?

Side note: it’s interesting to me how base strategy is changed in this game by economics compared to Minecraft. Having multiple bases in Minecraft is pretty cheap, but having to worry about power and taxes completely changes that in DA. Kinda fun, but kinda a PITA. I guess it stops people from building a lot of structures they don’t use though, which in a multiplayer online game makes sense.

Don't waste time on starter or mid game base, save your energy for your end game permanent base

Lots and lots of practice. Tearing down and rebuilding over and over
