I am still reading this but I wanted to point out I walked about 3 sectors in less than an hour casually, while stopping to chat.
The current map is only 120sq km from what the website says which is about as large as one racial area in darkfall.
They have also stated it the land will be opened up as the game progresses (one number figure i saw was 1200sq km, whether or not that is the final size, i do not know).
i'm interested once they A. include a decent combat system. it is very half-assed at the moment, to the point where you wonder why they even put it in. B. allow you to take over other tribe areas. currently this is not in the game and won't be for at least another 6 months, according to their devs. so 'potential' is a long way off.
All that you wish for (which I am also looking forword to) will apparently happen after the Prelude phase which will last around 6 months. However, by that time probably all the good locations by the lake will be gone and one will either need to join an already existing tribe or create one in the mountains by a river. By that time I am also guessing the junk piles will be all gone, so it will be even harder to start off, but things like mines and farming will be implemented for resources.
As for me, I am enjoying seeing the world and our tribe evolve. It has a charm to it which I like. Kind of reminds me of the game Civilization, but instead of the overseerer you are the characters in the game. Right now, it's the worker, lumberjack, etc.
Regardless, the game is unique. I think we can all agree with that, even the haters

Fortunately, there are already games that offer what you're looking for.
Have you tried EVE or Darkfall?
There are probably others as well.
