Is it possible, especially with the new update now, to play on an own created server alone or for friends? Or can you rent a gaming server with this game?

As the title says. DoA game, playerbase went to 1 player in 2 weeks, avoid

Is this game going to have an option where you can create your local server, in the cloud or on a hosting service or on your PC locally, which you can set up? Is there also going to be a single-player option? Because I saw someone streaming the game, and my first thought was "♥♥♥♥ this". I hate PvP ever since Rust, because, as Slipknot had once so subtly informed us, people = s h i t. But, Rust at least gives you much bigger map. I have so far enjoyed Sunkenland, but only because I can play it in solo mod ...

This game is literally just Rust in a futuristic form. Tried making a base multiple times but as soon as I get close to my base being somewhat done I get it torn down by a bunch of overpowered players and have to restart from the beginning. No point in playing anymore seeing as how everyone just thirst kills you and you can't make any progress....

It says in game that there is a full wipe planned, which a wipe is fairly normal weekly. But, will this Full Wipe erase all research done already? Weeks back it was announced that people would get to keep the research they did between wipes, but I am not sure if that counts for this. Also, if you have an uplink and sent equipment to the station, is all of that wiped as well? Or is it just all structures and placements on the island are erased?...
