What is offered in any of the given EA packs is applicable to the EA duration (it lasts the entire EA duration, basically).
When the game leaves EA and does a full release (however many years away that may be), then you will carry over three things:
1. your character slot limit,
2. your Founder recipes, and
3. the box cost.
The plot quantity doesn't carry over to the full release, instead you will have the option to select how many plots you wish to have active and that is likely to determine what tier of subscription you have in the full version.
There won't be any subscription during EA, and the developers have made reference to a potential sweetheart transition deal for those who had purchased an EA package when the game does fully release (although no specifics on what that includes right now).
Hopefully that makes more sense.
It will require some form of subscription to play it actively with a plot, as the plots are quite resource hungry with the way it is set up in the open world.
If you wanted to take a break from the game then you could stop your subscription, though the plot would deactivate and any building in that area would become "free" and gradually decay over time (this is how the world keeps itself relatively clean from those who permanently leave the game).
No price point has been confirmed as to how much a basic subscription will be, or any of the different tiers, because the developers aren't going to properly know the overhead costs until they can make a better assessment closer to the full release when there is much more content included in the game. So the reason they don't give a price today is because it wouldn't be accurate and they don't want to give empty promises.
In terms of playing the game without any subscription or plot, I don't know if that's a mechanism they will support at some point, but it's probably unlikely.
But in Ark I didn't payed a subscription or money for size of base.
And in MMOs where I interrupt playing and return later, progress is saved, to encourage players to return.
Server wipes are mentioned too on the store page, several of them:
"Throughout Early Access, we plan to expand the game in terms of content and systems. Major updates will require us to wipe the game and start over. Pax Dei’s Early Access is scheduled to last until at least June 2025, possibly longer."
You say that
Then why these aesthetic buildings are wiped?
Why at the transition to full release players have to build them again if they continue with a subscription which gives them the same amount of plots?
There are technical reasons: e.g. we will be working on the world, and if a building that was built on a level plain would end up on a slope or a lake, that would be impossible to handle well.
On top of that we want to everyone to start on a level playing field when the full game launches.
We are thinking about that, no info to be shared on it yet
