Idea 1. Make a four biome themed Island, so maybe a grass, a sand, a mushroom and lets say stone (or cheaper blocks whatever you can use). Then make shops or stuff according to what your going to do with each biome. Lets say a snow biome sells shovels, wood, and has a giant lodge in the middle of the biome. Under that you could have all your storage and resource area. Idea 2. Make a giant shop, there always successful if they offer a lot of things and aren't complicated, for example drogos shop is amazing but thats your long overtime goal, for now just start with a basic one and see how you go.
