Any disadvantages for having a huge world? (Minor spoilers)

Is it harder to find certain biomes in a huge world? Because my survival seems to be more like luck than anything, because I spend the majority of the time in-game searching for certain items in biomes and by the time I find them it is usually too late. :I I'm trying to make a sleeping dart to kill a koalefant to get a koalefant tusk to make a jacket for winter, but in order to make a sleeping dart I need reeds, and I've been looking for like 7 days and nothing. Any help?

i usually set it to huge, but most of the food, stones, items, and harmless animals on Lots

You may have more saplings; trees ; stones; berries and grass... but I belive things like tallbird's nests and beefalo's herds remain unchanged (default). For me the only benefit is more turfs.
You will also have longer walk becouse of distance between those important places. If you are new I suggest you leave everything at default.

Yes, I am new. I decided to restart my gameplay and set the things that I have trouble finding to more, and reeds to lots because I have almost never seen them. Maybe during my next gameplay after I die i'll try the default size. :P

Yes, it takes longer to find biomes sometimes due to size and longer to traverse them obviously.

As for finding swamps / reeds.... take every wormhole you find, and just keep walkin'. There's not much you can do that will make it easier to find swamps.


Default size in ds is medium (i think they recently changed it to default = large in dst, which is interesting but not applicable here) I believe , and yes, it will be a little easier that way. However there are benefits to large too.

a huge world means long travels to get stuf,,but trust me thats only in the first couple of days,becouse you wanne build a base and you wil get wat you need to replant near your base,,and when things go wrong a huge world has plenty of resourches to build a new base even multy bases across the map,can have up to 3 cave's 2 pig village's and multy biome's of the same type,,,a smal wolrd is dull biome's are to smal it realy feels cramped if i play like that
