By mid-game your actions should be pretty divorced from the Player Character. Once you have a bot network you can place down items anywhere you can see on the map (i.e. have Radar coverage), allowing you to build anywhere you want without having to be nearby. You can even use the bot network to expand the bot network & radar coverage.
