Day 11, I'm not seeing any reason why I would want to build a base.  Will there be a point where it becomes necessary? I'm doing great just island hopping on my raft carrying around some crates and using storage shelves on my raft. I usually make a water still on each new island, and maybe a campfire/smoker if I'm running low on food and just hunt like crazy. I'm getting pretty full up on resources and could probably build a pretty decent base, but at the moment it just seems like it would be a waste of time and resources.  


Am I missing something, or is base building just there so people who like to build bases can build bases?
