Maps need to be way bigger

I swear I can never find a build spot without ten other bases in the exact location I wanted to build. Wipeday just turns into me running around the entire map trying to find a quiet spot to settle down where I can break one tree without 3 clans swarming me. It's really annoying. Even the "quiet" areas with no monuments will have some dumbass 4 man building a compound just to control a forest and the 3 stone nodes that spawn there.

What is the solution to this? I play solo and it's actually even worse on solo servers because everyone needs their own base. I can't stand when I build somewhere but then 3 2x1s pop up directly next to me and start hogging up all the resources. Even if we don't PVP the roads will be empty, no nodes, it's just so annoying.

It's like there isn't enough space on the map for people to setup their base. I like when I can farm at my base then go run a grid or two to get into some action, not the action at my doorstep 24/7 to where I can't farm a tree directly outside my base. Like when a team of 4+ moves into the area I literally just have to either stop playing or build another base, again. The game becomes unplayable because the teams just block all progress and hoard resources

I've tried low pop servers but those are even worse, there will be one no life clan just walling off the entire spawn beach or huge areas where people would wanna build. Is this just what the game is? I swear it was never this annoying to find a build location before. Idk. I feel like I used to be able to live near groups and still get resources. Now it's like there just isn't enough
