wait so Skaia itself i suppose is what doesn't like 1 player sessions but... what exactly is so bad about it? not playing with a team is basically considered taboo but why it's not like it's actually harming Paradox Space itself

The objective of SBURB is to Create a Universe, and the Quests are designed as a way to improve the Players and make them fit to become rulers of this new Universe. Straight away, you need Space and Time to have a viable Session, so a one-player Session would never be able to work. However, at the same time, multiple people, entering the game together, Internet friends, they’re supposed to hold a balance of the powers. Absolute power corrupts absolutely, a single, all-powerful ruler of a Universe is much more likely to go wrong than multiple people who’ve known each other for a while and keep each other in check. It’s likely SBURB takes the attempt to play a one-Player Session as a selfish attempt to become a single, godly ruler, even if that’s not the case, and so casts the Player into what should theoretically be an Unwinnable Scenario.
