How the heck moving to new location work?

[Lopar]

So, when I move to new locations all my community move with me, leaving their jobs and buildings. But not the traders.

How is it supposed to work? Do I need to build a full sized base with farms, worktables and living quarters?

Do I need to live somewhere in the middle, so I won’t spend game day to go to the merchant and back to base?

What should I do with plenty of free space on starting location, if I soft-forced to move forward and build elsewhere?

Where to get materials for all that sh*t?

Maybe I understand all these game mechanics completely wrong?

The vendors should move too... Its a while Im not playing, but it was in that way for me.
The "nomad" part of the game is the one that I dont like too much. Everytime you have to pack everything and move in the new area...
If you move in a new area just to explore, if you just sleep there all your people will move in the new area... I really dont like it...
+, If you have to move in the new area everytime, at least the last area should be better than the previous one...
Barren Lands is the biggest area and its the second to last area... Should be one of the best, but the landscape is really ugly...
