[2019] Mod Spotlight: Eco's Mods

Greetings Survivors!
It's that time again, I am Zen Rowe and today we’re going to be talking to Eco, the creator behind a plethora of decor mods!

Eco, You likely need little introduction, but for the sake of anyone who has yet to experience your mods tell us a bit about yourself.

Your mods are some of the most popular in the Workshop, Eco. Seeing you branch out into more functional additions like this has been a joy.

Do you have a background or hobbies that have influenced and guided the design of your mods?
I imagine your empire mods involve a lot of historical research.

I'll take ten... uh... for my god-daughter.
Yes... for my god-daughter.

I know a lot of players love your creations in ARK, but it sounds like you lived a fascinatingly creative life as well!

Now if anyone wanted to follow your modding endeavors or wants to see what other artistic creations you've made, where can they do that?

What prompted you to cross the bridge from more physical forms of art to modding?

I take it that those Brontos are who we have to thank for the "Eco Trees" mod? That was your first one, wasn't it?

You have certainly come a long way since then. Between your empire and primordial mods, you've also begun to cater to a wide variety of aesthetic styles as well.
Personally I'm proud of my stick figure achievements but what you have accomplished in terms of variety boggles my mind. Would you be able to give us a bird's-eye view of your design process for your empire mods?

You certainly put a lot of care and attention into your mods. What would you say are the most challenging parts of the process?

Well, that's one of the things that is great about modding. You have a functional sandbox to experiment with and learn other skills in.

Now, the question I'm sure many have been waiting for...
Do you have any super-secret content you are working on that you could leak for us today?

That's going to be an interesting one. Babylonian architecture is something that I think a lot of people hear reference to in media but may not have actually seen.
I think we'll all be looking forward to that release!

Before we sign off, Do you have any advice for mod authors that want to try their hand at projects similar to your own?

Thank you for that, and all of the wonderful mods you have created for the community!
Until next time, Happy Modding!
