IF you only play solo then Valheim would be a better option. Solo Conan Exiles alone is nothing but a grind chore as the game is really designed for socialization. Valheim Is more engaging on a small scale and the map is randomly generated. However other than Resource gathering and base building the games have little in common. Also to note Valheim is not a Resource grind survival game. It has a start and finish (which is not implemented yet). The Survival tag is something from the community not the developers who were more than open about being inspired to make a breath of the wild like adventure game for small groups of friends.
