First, we strongly recommend creating a Fast Travel Bell and place it somewhere along the coast of the Foothills island you found. You'll need more than Iron Ore to craft tier two items, and you'll want easy access to the Foothills to get everything you need to upgrade. Build a campfire and tent or bed near the Fast Travel Bell. There's a pretty good chance you'll get smoked while exploring here, so it's better to be safe than sorry.

Next, when you find the Iron Ore Cave, build another fire next to the ores. Not only does this light up the cave, but it also prevents the well-rested buff from expiring, allowing you to mine to your heart's content.

Some of the ores in any mineral cave will be on the ceilingwhich is too far for you to reach normally. Take some wood or plant fibers outside to get them build foundations inside the cave.

finally don't forget to use your ship to store things. If your inventory is full, call your ship back to shore and store all your freshly mined iron ore in it. This way you won't have to teleport back and forth to your base just to clear your inventory. Just be careful not to summon your ship near enemy ones. No amount of naval combat skills Windrose they will save you from enemy ships that are much stronger than yours.
