With the wilds being as genuinely dangerous as they are - you get absolutely destroyed by even basic creatures in the early stages of the game - you can understand the motivations people would have to band together in the Old Camp, and its infrastructure operates in a way that makes logistical sense. There's a clear hierarchy within the actual camp, with the ore barons on top and living the high life in the castle, while the ore miners live in the slums of the outer ring - it's an authoritarian system where the miners are content to be exploited by the ore barons because living in the safety of a controlled camp and getting to partake in outside goods is a better alternative to surviving on one's own in the wild where you could become the meal for any number of dangerous beasts. We see the exchange in the intro cinematics, and we as players get to experience the ore mining by visiting the Old Mine. In the Old Camp, where the king's mining operation was originally set up, the new ore barons are content to live as kings inside the barrier by continuing the ore mining and bartering the ore for outside goods.
