Unfortunately it doesn't seem like this is the case, as of the official Steam documentation Steam Cloud or one's own online service for storing data is still required: https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/features/cloudgaming?l=english

We would reconsider support for the future once that requirement has changed or Steam Cloud is able to deal with games without traditional savegames like ours.

LFG

I don't think so - on our discord we don't have a place for LFG and it's restricted to the regional channels, instead we do Server Ads there. Steam would be another alternative that has a LFG board.

That is purposefully no longer possible due to vehicles not being assigned to any specific settlement like normal deeds are and as such any settlement technically being able to take over the ownership the moment the vehicle enters the influence of the town. Unfortunately this was heavily abused.

In a future version we may be able to tie vehicle deeds to the settlement of its owner as well to ensure that they cannot be seized by foreign settlements. There is no guarantee for that happening nor an ETA, though.

You can still (and it should now also work again), ignore authorization for vehicles that are in your influence to move them somewhere more convenient.

Something is deleting required game files from your PC, potentially antivirus software.

You can't remove your character from a server you joined. You can remove the server from the recent servers list if you don't want to see it anymore.

I will. I was hoping to find someone beforehand to try and set up a game plan. I’ll probably just do my best to make friends with some gatherers farmers and butchers since I’m planning on going the cooking route. It feels like the most doable as a solo. Look forward to the new season and thanks for the recommendation!

Try posting it in #notice-board channel, WT main channel is a typically quick chat channel where people don't see what was written three minutes ago. (Also WT has restrictions on grouping with companies, so there's stuff involved)

I posted in the white tiger channel on discord before I came to Reddit. Thanks for the helpful advice though.

Also check once server is live in general chat.

To get the form selection screen you need to press F while having the hammer selected and a block that can be placed that way in your carry slot. The carry slot will then indicate the letter "F" on the icon.

When I look for a server to play privately on my non-marked account I look mostly for:

  • World size chosen according to the player count, e.g. neither too small nor too large
  • No typical "QoL" mods and at least High Collaboration (but again taking player count into account), as most of those mods tend to break the intended game balance horribly in ways that just arent fun to me and how I play
  • Global Currency, as I am team "Bartering is meh"

Premade government and restrictions is neutral to me, but I generally prefer playing on servers where admins are creative and have made custom concepts beyond base Eco and as such tend to play on one with some degree of premade government given its necessary for that. I don't mind restrictions if they make a clear game experience, and variety in game experiences is what I'm looking for.

I prefer, but that doesn't play major role:

  • Fair admins and clearly communicated rules
  • ...

They are supposed to be combined - by two different players :D

Controllers and other third party input devices can lead to weird behaviours in Eco, as the game is fully incompatible with any other input tools than mouse and keyboard but Steam generally tries to make different devices (typically controllers) work automatically in games that don't support them by making them recognized by the game and remapping things. Disconnecting is unfortunately the only way to avoid this for now.

Yes, storage linkings are per player.
