- Base Expansion to accommodate the new structures will probably be your priority #1.
The new Woolhaven region in Cult of the Lamb is a frost-filled area that offers several unique new features. Since this region is quite different from what you are normally used to, it would make sense to prepare for the inevitable before unlocking it.

Cult of the Lamb: Woolhaven – Should You Prepare Your Base Before Woolhaven?
Woolhaven is separated from the main base, so you aren’t required to make prior arrangements. Instead, once you have Woolhaven unlocked, you should work on attaining the following features quickly.
Expanding the Base
All the new structures that are part of the Woolhaven update will take up plenty of space. That’s when I had to seek out Gofernon for base expansion. This proved to be one of the more important upgrades for me, since I required new structures to help keep my followers warm during the harsh winters.
Building a Rotburn Furnace and Keeping Followers Warm
After base expansion, the next task was to unlock and build the Rotburn Furnace. This helped keep my followers warm for long periods and proved highly useful early on . Also, using Rituals like the Follower Wedding Ceremony and the Bonfire Ritual II provided additional warmth. Unlocking the Baptismal Bath through the Divine Inspiration upgrades also help defrost frozen followers.
Feeding Hot Foods and Using Sweaters
Wool is one of the newer resources in the game, and once you have the Tailor unlocked, you get to make sweaters. But wool is pretty expensive to farm early on. Personally, I found that it was best to save up enough wool to create sweaters for the more important followers first. Besides Wool, you also get to farm and grow Chilies, and creating dishes like Hot Chilli Mash provides a temporary buff against the cold.
