In a co-op experience you can organize your book learnin' and have certain people get crafting stations, vehicles, equipment crafting, cooking up way faster. By yourself, you have less books coming in, and it takes much longer to get a proper long-term base going.

I almost exclusively play single player, and I enjoy it.

It isn't too difficult, but even if it is you can just change the settings to suit yourself. You could increase the loot (or decrease it), increase XP, lower the zombie spawns, make them walk instead of run, whatever. The point is, this game should never be too difficult, it should be just difficult enough if you customize the game settings.

I think it's good solo. I've played ~2000 hours solo. A lot of 7DTD players play solely or mainly solo. It's definitely not mainly co-op. Co-op works fine, but so does solo.

The game might well seem very difficult when you start playing, but that's normal and not limited to playing solo. Expect to fail repeatedly to begin with. My first death was less than a minute after doing the old tutorial jobs (which were trivial and took a couple of minutes). I died dozens of times in the early days of playing. That's normal. There's a definite learning curve.

As others said, the roughest part is the first day or two. When you're running around without a stitch of armor it's quite easy to suffer heavy injuries and die, get infected and die, or starve to death. A few deaths will get you familiar with the game systems.

After that, things start to click and it is quite manageable to play solo. The game has a series of tutorial challenges that you can, and should, read. They'll give basic pointers on things to watch for or do to get started. Nothing advanced, but lets you set out with some confidence as you explore the game yourself.

The games is more difficult solo that's sure. But it's not impossible at all.
In general i would say in singleplayer you have:
• better performance
• better immersion
• higher difficulty
In multiplayer you have:
• faster progression (even in the new system in experimental and 1.0)
• coop feeling
• stronger rpg vibes (due to earlier and stronger specification)

In my 1.8k hours i played ~60/40 coop(2-4 player) / solo

It's super easy to play solo. You can tweak a variety of settings so it's easier if you happen to find the default settings too hard. More loot, faster loot respawn, easier zombies, slower zombies, less frequent blood moons or NO blood moons at all, quicker trader tier progression, more air drops, less enemy block damage, more player block damage, and a whole lot more.

game is soloable completly fine. multiplayer is an option not a requirement.

[Doc Clarke]

Have almost 1,500 hours in the game. All solo.
It's great to play solo.

I am pretty certain that this game has more solo players than multi. There is most certainly a crossover.

But having played multi player and solo, I much prefer solo. First and foremost, no need to adjust your playing time, or share loot.

Many of us have only played the game solo. I have never, ever in 9 years played multiplayer in this once. It's a very good solo game.

You can set up various options for your world. I usussaly play co-op on insane difficulty.
But for single player, i set option for extra EXP and extra loot drop, normal difficulty.
Basically, you can make your playthrough as easy or difficult, as you want.

When I play solo, I just up the difficulty and turn off Blood moon hordes. Then I pretend I'm the only few people that survive the Zombie Apocalypse and just try to survive and thrive.

OK thanks everyone will give it a go
