on ARk you can made a base, small, big, smart, stupid. Here the claim system is totally stupid. Limit it to 1 person, and reduce the area.
Also the island are not that flat, more like rocks and some land, making it even less terrain, so is more limited that one might think.
The map feels smaller than ark just because is ocean and ocean and ocean, and thats it, the smalls island are taken and are really small.
