I think we should search for good place to settle permanently else where. Bazinga got gangbang'd by 8 players, and we got semi-raded/openly griefed yesterday AND there is a huge village to the west, not far from us. This area doesn't look very promising to me
I made a pickaxe + I have decent str with the bear stuff on, so starting to mine elsewhere shouldn't be a problem. We don't have much stuff right now, so moving away should be quite easy. We'll Iron quite fast unless the ore vein gets depleted (and we have different places to mine, so no problem), so we can use metal to make a few wooden chests, this way we should be able to move everything valuable inside 3 or 4 boats.
IMO we should just gtfo asap
Find an area with good q soil, to start farming with. With prospecting we can easily find multiple place for mines nearby, claim them and surround to mine entrance with palisade. Quickly start producing metals again, and hopefully steel to get brickwall up asap. While searching for good q clay etc etc.... Anyway, I don't like our current location, and I don't think we'll survive here for too long.
