I've moved my enchanting apparatus over to a different area, although I need to get all of my ars stuff near. It's a decent setup to get source (although I need to kill the mobs myself).
At this point I have access to actual iron and gold, and my next steps look to be getting my coke oven and blast furnace set up. Both of those will require some create assembly line stuff though, which will be a huge pain to find space for (the eternal create problem - building with it is so cumbersome).
Steel is one of the things I need for a mana pool though - in addition to being one of the big progression points of the pack, it also unlocks menril trees and I really like using menril wood as a building block.
