Read-only is what I do for single player mode. It's a little annoying when you do actually want to make a change, but better than the alternative.

You need to have a sizeable storage. At this time I have 3 DLC maps (Ragnarok, Valguero and Crystal siles) and my folder size is a little over 200GB.

Download is compressed to ~35gigs, the installed game is ~110gigs. If you start added dlc maps and workshop content, it can easily reach 300gb so be careful of storage space or you'll run into update ..

Ark is a good survival game. You can join servers that provide offline raid protection. Avoid official servers like the plague. My advice would be to play single player for a while to learn the game

When you start the new map in the bottom Right it should say either download or import survivor. Thats how you load your uploaded survivor you uploaded into the Obelisk.
