Help on living a minimalist lifestyle on ARK.

Hey all, I play on a boosted-rates server, the community on there is pretty active and there is raiding/pvp ect. involved, but mostly people are on, "Neutral", terms with one another. I play solo for the challenge of it, and I like to make my own rules and be, "In-charge". So as you can guess on a boosted-rates server things are relatively easier to get then they are on official. So ofcoarse as a soloist I have a lot more then what most solo players would have. I am trying to slim down on what I have, and shrink down so that I am less of a target and harder to spot. So I am coming here to ask if anyone has any recommendations on size of base, how many structures (Greenhouse/base/dino pen ect.) what tames are a must when it comes to gathering, and what ones are seen as good, "Go to", for pvp? I am trying to have the least amount of stuff, small setup, and needed tames, so I look less of a threat and, in the case of a raid, less for me to re-tame/build. Thanks in advance to those who respond.

ive heard of people building a stone outer layer to make it appear "frugal" but it was just a skin, inside is all metal and tek. Find a wooded area, or, if you can take it, a swamp or murder snow area. Make it more of a chore to get at you than whats worth it.

I've been looking at this one spot in the Redwoods, it's a slightly elevated piece of land that is pretty flat, and is out of the way of anything really, no one really goes into the Redwoods on Ragnarok and most of the action on atleast the server I am on is desert/jungle and wyvern trench. So I might look into that spot.
