Not sure since I only ever play with one person, but I’d love to work on one base together with multiple people, with everyone working on their specialities. For example, I have a basic knowledge of most popular tech mods, but I find some of them pretty tedious, so if there were someone who enjoyed them, that’d be great.

Personally I start an industrial empire and get the rest of the server in my back pocket because I’m the only person with supplies to produce Guns and Missiles. But also it just kind of depends on the mod pack.

Nearly every server is different, but the ones my friends/wife and I always did (10+ years ago) were like role-playing kingdom bulking maps. Server owner (usually me) would hold the title of Kibg/Sovereign and appoint their friends to specific roles. I would oversee the general development and expansion of the kingdom, as well as decide and manage a system of ore-based currency (or would at least create the mint and appoint someone to running it). My left and right hand would build/manage the keeps/barracks/military structures, or the government buildings/libraries/cultural centers, etc. These would all be injected with their own lore and staffed by the person in charge of them. Everyone else would receive more minor roles, but typically be given monopolies in certain types of goods or commerce. Maybe Bob wants to be a trapper. Sure, anyone else can legally go and gather leathers and animal parts, but Bob is the only one permitted to sell those items in his shop in the city. Things like that just to try to keep it interesting.
The idea is to open it up to the public (via applications and careful vetting) and watch people run amock in the simulated medieval economy. We used to have a blast doing it. Especially with mods installed that added skill progression, abilities at milestones and other MMORPG-esque mechanics.
Normal people, however… They just do what they do in single player but occasionally trade, work together, tackle bosses, and show each other their latest creations.
