I have just started playing this game since Epic gave it away and aside from the obvious constant threats to your life, while all survival games are ongoing; I find the hardest thing about this game is that wherever you go (especially in the simple spawns) there is no place to start building an animal shelter. The last 4 times I logged in, I couldn't build a hideaway / sleeping bag / campfire anywhere because there are too many other player structures. When it gets dark I still can't find anything and am attacked by various dinosaurs and lose all the handmade stuff I had, all the materials and STILL cold and in the dark.
It gets a little frustrating after the 3rd or 4th time.
