How do I not feel lonely on singleplayer?
I wanna build a wild west town, but there’s nobody to inhabit it.

Find a server to play on with other people...or get some of the npc mods like Human NPCs and have some npcs to keep you company

Servers are full of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and no space to build or find wild creatures.

I should have specified that I wasnt talking about cancer servers, aka official...I meant unofficial servers, specifically PVE servers, they are usually filled with a lot of nice people and plenty of room to build

I like PVP that isn't just taking advantage of the weak and farming noobs

You were playing sp so I assumed you would prefer PVE, but in the case of a pvp server that isn't cancer, good luck...unless your with a group of friends on a password protected server, you'll struggle against those who take fun in ruining the game for others

Human NPCs
You have to join multiplayer. Right now the servers are at a low. Not many players to talk to unless you join a Beginner pve official with the beach bobs. Which is not bad in that they wipe and have no lag issues.

Battlemetrics [www.battlemetrics.com] has a people sort. I recommend pve not pvp. Pvp has very caustic players. And I recommend servers with no mods.

This is actually why I can not stand playing on servers. Everywhere you go every interesting place is already occupied, even on a PVE server you often find yourself living on the beach.

You would literally have to find a small group of people likely fewer than 10 to enjoy the darn game personally. xD

We've told you, and you're read on here before that the majority of the player base do not play on the 1300ish wildcard maintained (official and legacy combined) servers but instead play on the 70,000+ unofficial servers, where such things are usually a non issue.

Asking how to make -single- player not lonely and then making the comments like you did above means there is a cognitive dissonance between your wants and the reality of the situation that you're marginalizing yourself by.

There are plenty of great servers built around and by good gaming communities. But its up to you to do your own due diligence to find them.

That said, you can use the S+ gardener, collector, and farmer and dress them up as you please if you just want to window dress things.

I assume you're also using Eco's mod that gives the wild west structures feel too already...

That would be called pvpve and exclusively only a server type on unofficial servers mainly, though there are unofficials that actively enforce less lopsided pvp in other ways too.

Not really true.

On my server cluster the only map that could be considered over populated is Ragnarok because everyone LOVES that map. THe other maps on the server cluster have tons of great places to build. Even Ragnarok still has good places so long as you don't looking for your own private pond of which there are only a few left on the main continent which are deep enough to house aquatic dinos and where players are allowed to build (players aren't allowed to build near beaver dens).

Part of the solution to lack of good building sites is to have and enforce strict limitations and rules on where players can build and how much they can build out. On my server cluster players are limited to one location per map, cannot be near major resource spawns, and we have a size limit although I cannot remember what it is only that almost no one ever hits it.
