Scorched earth, hostile dinos everywhere?
So I tried to start at easy zones yet everytime I spawn a hostile dino comes out or whenever I managed to find a nice spot and build a thatch building another dino comes out and attacks... so how does one survive here?

I build my main base where there are terror birds, dire wolfs and raptors literally everywhere.
But it's worth it because there is a constant spawn of red and yellow drops.

SE is a very hard map. Not only the hostile dinos, additional the weather. It's getting hotter than 170,6 °F from time to time, reducing your health, You face different storms, sandstorm, heatstorm, aso - some reduce your health, some take away your stamina... It's a challenge.
I recommend, not to start new - transfer your skilled character from The Island to SE. There are YT Videos out which show how this works, just google.

i thought there were less dinos on asa compared to ase launch. seems easy compared

I think you chose one of the harder easy areas.

The easy area between the two medium areas has been the easiest in my experience if you know where to go.

In ASE that area had a lot of aggro dinos. Now it has maybe a raptor or wolf in ASA.

Raptor got in through an open door in ours. Then a terror bird decided to kick the crap out of the whole building! (was only thatch) , was hilarious and annoying at the same time.
Nowhere is safe early on

You survive on Scorched Earth by beating The Island, if you are starting at level 1 you are doing it wrong.

It's like real life.

I built a base in a pond so i was able to see the raptors coming around my base at least, I had a pretty humorous startup though, I spawned, 15 seconds past and I was chomped by a raptor. Changed spawns was immediately chomped by a raptor. changed spawns again, and I was chomped by a raptor after 20 seconds, but after that bout of bad luck I was fine.

Yeaaah think I'm gonna level one char transfer with a singular dino and then go from there for the best bet

It hasn't been particularly bad for me, I only had one spawn where I was immediately torn apart by 3 different types of predators.

Every other time I was able to see them a mile away and avoid them.

It's interesting that these bugs were also bugs when scorched first released in ase.
Over spawns of carno dinos, over generation of storms, tent not working correctly.

However there are some positive bonuses to the map as well. Such as at least something is overspawning, for several months nothing spawned on the servers at all on ase.

I expect they'll balance the map in due time, it's a pity it is such a small map.
