  1. It is not advertised as an MMORPG, it is a survival MMO.

    From Steam:

    "ATLAS: The ultimate survival MMO of unprecedented scale with 40,000+ simultaneous players in the same world. Join an endless adventure of piracy & sailing, exploration & combat, roleplaying & progression, settlement & civilization-building, in one of the largest game worlds ever! Explore, Build, Conquer!"

  2. That is the work of the Company permissions set to not allow certain ranks from destroying objects. You will have to get someone with the power to change the permissions or give you the rank that allows it. It is an intended feature to give companies control over who can do what and also to prevent insiders (or untrustworthy) people from destroying everything the company made. The same can be done for taming ownership and access levels to certain animals, containers, anything people can interact with (that is how it worked in Ark anyway).

  3. My guess is that since the game is a huge map (on official) some islands could have various supplies of metal or none at all. Could also be that there are a lot of people already on the island and farmed it all up.

    I can only assume that the game is designed to have certain resources scattered around the world based on the biomes. The game just seems to be all bout traveling and exploring of the various islands and sea, so you may not see everything you need on one island. In this case, you have to travel distances to get what you need or trade for it from other players (player merchant role/gameplay?). If this is true, then they did think it through, since that would be the point of the game and why ships exist.

     

    From steam page:

    MMO On the Grandest Scale

    Physically sail in real-time across the vast oceans with the proprietary server network technology. Explorers will voyage to over 700 unique landmasses across 45,000 square kilometers, with thousands of Discovery Zones, and ten distinct world regions each having their own unique resources, creatures, secrets, and environment hazards! There is a separate PvE ATLAS for players who don't wish to play any PVP. 

    Construct the Ship of Your Dreams, Plank by Plank!

    Build drydocks and start with a dinghy rowboat, basic raft, tiny sloop or nimble schooner, moving on up to your own versatile brigantine or titanic galleon capable of transporting hundreds of crew and extensive cargo. Name your ship in big bold letters, paint and copy your own pirate flag and custom-place all the pieces of your ship -- which sails and where, planks and gunports, every single structure piece has a physical Weight and Material -- to function exactly how you want.
