I wasn't in a "hostile" zone, just 1 coiner at the last place I landed so no need in making massive amounts of transports and the gold I had was being used for research and buying lumber/iron for training and building. These methods of transports and billions of a resource is used on established servers. I'm more asking about the 1st week out of BP. You have a method to stop a massive coiner from cleaning you out or cross fingers and hope to make it long enough to train 50k-100k transports or farm enough npc's to buy 20 billion stone?

I don't see the strategies very useful to someone playing for free.
