How can I play Singleplayer or only one Friend Coop?

Cant see any option for this.....and why is the game not listed in the game library

It's an online only game, but the good news is the multiplayer is beyond minimal. You'll see other players walking around, but that's the bulk of multiplayer interaction (unless you as the player go out of your way to make it - the game at its core is essentially single player).

but the tags are singleplayer and coop too....and now I cant play in Sinlge or Coop with one Friend? Without any strange gamers? :-( But HOW can I invite my friend? He is playing but he is not listed as a friend in my game.....only strange players are listed, not my friend. Game says no online friends but my friend IS online....

It's very much a single player game. If you have an issue with just seeing other people's characters then this is probably not the game for you. lol
If you want to have your friend join you you need to add them as a friend in the game. Find out what their name is then send them a friend request. You should then be able to invite them to your server or vice versa.

how can I send a request...I know the name, has typed it in this search window, pressed Enter, Friend is listed, ...and then? How can I chat whith him? There are allways talking many other strangers.....

You can add your friend and there is an option once they are added to join the server that they are in, then you can both play together. There's a few multiplayer things you can do in the game;

*Fishing has boosts when it is done multiplayer
*Everyone shares loot when hunting together in a party
*Mining nodes together means you both get the same nodes (they're instanced unless mined at the same time)
*Hotpot has just been added and is great fun in Zeki's underground! :D
*You can add your friend as an editor on your plot (or they add you) and you can decorate the plot together
*You can join communities which allow you to chat to other users and community focused plots will be coming at some point
*Catching bugs together allows you to catch the same bug
*You can follow the quest line together too if you're new to the game! It's fun to do alone but prob more fun with a friend!
*Cooking uses less resources if you cook together, only one of you needs to have an ingredient, so you'll only use up one but both get the dishes, meaning you can make more gold from it, and enjoy focus boosts quicker because dishes take less time (or decorate with the star quality ones, of course). Cooking is better with friends.

Ultimately you can do a lot of it single player, but it's good fun to be chatting with a friend and enjoy the content together.

And thats what I want....chat with my friend and enjoying the game together, not with hundreds of strangers in the chat....:-) But I dont know, how to deal this. I have invit my friend and he is visible in this invite list, but not in the online friend list........

Use "O" to access your friends list. From there you can invite your friend to party, and you can invite to the same server. For the chat, use tab to cycle through what chat you want to use. Put it on party chat.
As of the last update, my husband and I have been having a hard time connecting as friends.
Sometimes when we go to hit invite, it doesn't seem as it is working. If he can see my dot, but I can't see his.. then I have to log out and back in and it will work. If it is he that can't see my green dot, then he is the one that needs to log out and back in, and it will work. Hopefully they'll fix these glitches shortly.
Once you are partied with your friend, and on the same server, you can view each other's where abouts (except when on home lot), and you can follow each other around and hunt, fish, mine, etc together. You can even visit the friends lot from the blue sign board on your lot to view each others houses and cook together.

If that's what you want then I'd honestly look for a different game cos if you dislike multiplayer games so much, then Palia's not for you since it IS a multiplayer game. I dunno were you read "singleplayer" on the shop page, mine only shows "online-coop" among its many tags. The prominent ones showing on the shop page immediately are "free", "multiplayer" and "life simulation" (translated from German).
