A lot of these comments are wild lol- I’m a solo and I play on a max pop monthly server. I’m not the best at pvp and that’s okay! I still am able to progress immensely and usually by the end of wipe I am raiding the big clans and getting crazy loaded on loot! My trick for people looking to start the game is start on a low pop server to learn how to build, collect materials etc then once you got that down join any server you want and build off the grid someone that’s not super populated and don’t build on top of another base. I usually head for a heavily wooded area and build a small started in there! Once you collect enough materials make sure to continuously upgrade and build up your base! I personally build custom base designs and build a huge base much bigger than most solos because I love to farm! I never get raided and if I do they usually go the completely wrong way eventually running out of rockets! The only “YouTube” base I would ever recommend would be some sort of bunker base but the more you play the more you should try to build custom base designs because it honestly trips people out and most don’t even try touching it because they have no idea where to raid from! Good luck I personally love this game and have a lot of fun especially as a solo! It can be aggravating at times don’t get me wrong but it’s very fun and addicting!
