Hello, community! I saw this game in my Steam queue a couple weeks ago, and was very interested in it. Now, finally, I am getting it today (very soon) and I have a couple questions.
1. As I have seen all over, this game is designed more for multiplayer than singleplayer. I've read that singleplayer is possible yet time-consuming and challenging, and multiplayer is easier yet risky due to mean people. Exactly how viable is singleplayer? Are there hostile animals so I'm not without some danger?
2. I haven't seen much solid evidence, so I'll ask anyway - hunger/thirst/rest/cold requirements? If not, are they planned?
3. Lastly, are there any servers out there that'll accept a newbie? I'll take any role you require, I'll be as self-sufficient as I can be, and if I can't I'll certainly find some way to earn my keep eventually. If you do something for me, I'll do something for you (within reason, of course) I would like to play somewhere where I won't get killed randomly. I'll tolerate muggings, theft, minor destruction of property/slaughtering of livestock, as that is a bit more real than some dude running around killing people on sight (which I know actually happened but that is just really annoying). I really love to roleplay, so if you have/know of a server that is heavy roleplay even with RDM'ers I would consider that too.
If I could request any position in a community, I would certainly like to try farming and shepherding. Perhaps I could double my farmstead as a sort of shop?
Thanks! I hope I might just see some of you within the next couple of days. Hopefully we meet as friendly acquaintances instead of hostiles!
