I think it'd be an interesting addition. If there was threat of conflict individuals or small groups would band together. This encourages Eco's main point of working together. And if the server had major conflict between groups this would take resources away from being able to defend against the meteor and further ravage the environment. Imo it would make a victory even sweeter when youre not already forced into a peacefully society.

Cooperation towards a common goal is the point of the game. Currently the only thing creating conflict or a reason to work together is the meteor. I think this would be interesting. I can understand why the devs dont want it in their game.

That is the point that creates least conflict, the way getting there is plastered with conflict though - economic, personal, governmental, area wise with settlements. Eco really has plenty enough conflict as is and introducing the option to just shoot your neighbor to "resolve" conflict is definitely not what Eco was made for.

Maybe i need to play more because ive experienced exactly zero conflict haha.

Seems you might be playing on very cozy servers.
I wished the ones we need to administrate were like that.

Whats the conflict? I really dont get it. I can make 99% of what i need and then just wander into town to get whatever else. Maybe smaller servers you might have shortages? idk. Just playing with a buddy we are 99% independent and thats after only a couple days.

On a typical server you don't really get to make 99% of what you need yourself, especially on larger servers. The independence with grouping you cite is also a frequent reason for conflict in servers with other players.

yeah which is why its not adding up. What am i missing?

Probably the chat, haha. No, I don't know, probably not playing where everyone else plays. We definitely have no wish to add any PvP though, general feedback is very clear about conflict being sufficient or already too much as is.
