You may need to change locale to Russian if yours switches to UK region when clicked.
I have checked the Canadian (£17) and Colombian (£20) stores, Russian seems to be the cheapest!
Visit http://www.microsoftstore.com then switch to Russia to purchase the credit needed, or post below for help...
Note this is an early access game.
Quick guide for those who are asking:
1) Go to the Russian MS store (http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msru/ru_RU/list/categoryID.68295800). You may need to switch locales (bottom left) if you page is redirected to UK.
2) If you are using Chrome, choose the option to translate the page when offered (in the top bar) - this will make it easier to see what you're doing.
3) Unless you already have some Ruble balance in your account, you will need to purchase enough balance to cover the purchase - so that's 500R + 1000R in this case (or 3 x 500). Add these to your basket and click "Checkout".
4) You will be asked to sign-in. Sign in with your normal Microsoft account.
5) Once signed-in, fill in the details for the invoice. I used a Russian university address:
7-9 University emb.
St.Petersburg
199034
6) Add your card details as requested. You can store all of these details for next time.
7) Click the Terms checkbox and then click "Complete the purchase".
8) Once the checkout is completed, you will be presented with the redemption codes for the gift cards. Make a note of these, or keep this browser tab open.
9) Now go to xbox.com and ensure your region is set to Russia, then sign in. Once logged in, click your Avatar (top-right) then select "Use code" (second item from last).
10) Redeem ("Activate") each of the credit codes you just bought by entering the 25-digit codes. You can check your Rubles balance in the Account section (Avatar->top item, "Microsoft Account").
11) Now go to the product page on Xbox.com, then click the "Buy Now for Xbox One" button.
12) A dialogue will pop-up confirming the price and that you will use your Russian credit balance to pay, click the green button to confirm and purchase.
That's it! Go to Games & Apps on your console, download, and congratulate yourself for all the money you just saved.
Further to the OP:
If you have a VPN and/or a Revolut card, you can just purchase the game directly from the Xbox website store without the need to purchase the currency. HTH raise the heat level even further. Death to Barney.

I believe that Noah, T-Rex and WW2 are part of what is called the "Olden Days". It was "better" in those days, or so I am told. Nonetheless, I will check these "facts" you seem so sure about.

It's a lot more of a chore without tribe mates, it's harder to tame certain dino's because you have to manage keeping them unconscious and going out to kill animals for meat. I'm sure some people will still enjoy it but personally I found I lost interest playing solo a lot quicker.

Yup, just go to http://www.microsoftstore.com and purchase what you need. You'll need to use a Russian address (I just grabbed the address from a university in St. Petersburg!), then you'll get the credit code at the end of the transaction which you then redeem via xbox.com (be sure to switch region first!)
It helps to have a second browser open with the UK store open so you know where to click, but it's not hard to figure out.

Fun game but I'd be wary of playing solo

How so?

To be honest I was hoping the early access version was going to be a little cheaper - Elite was £19.99 when it was first released if I'm not mistaken? The UK price seems a bit over the top for what is essentially a beta.

My son has this on PC but playing it on a normal hdd and not ssd.
So I run into problems with game optimisation.
He's been blagging for this now on xbox to play with his friends so I'll be keeping an eye out in this deal and purchasing later.
Thanks
