Stoked for the V11 release. Me and my squad are ready! Any idea what time of day they generally release code? (I’m trying to plan a “launch” party)

External link →I usually try to target around ~ 15 CE(S)T for releases since I'm responsible for them, but this release requires staff from multiple areas to work together due to the deployment of fully new backend services (plus website) - hence I'm not able to commit to a clear goal time for this specific update. It's more of a it goes out when everything looks good, which makes the time a bit flexible. I'd guess anywhere between 15 and 21 CE(S)T.
Hello Mr., I had a simple question that is not related to the update, I recently had a thought about the role of the meteor in the game. Fact is that it's way too easy to handle it on average. I have more than 800 hours in the game, it almost never last more than a few days (6/7 days top).
I feel like the meteor is not the optimal incentive for progress and just to keep peoples engaged. Is there a plan to offer in the future more than just one (sorry for the term but that's how I really feel it) measly crisis like a meteor ?
That depends a lot on the settings and how well they are adjusted to the participants of a server. But yes, more disasters of different types are something we'd like to do - though they'd not primarily be any sort of "endgame goal", but rather variety in challenges that players need to deal with on the way there (or after).
Yes, I know coming with ideas (polls can help too, let us get crazy 🤣) and being creative is not a problem, but balancing them can be quite the headache I understand.
Though I'm sure that, along with some marketing, it should be a great update !
We have a feedback tracker for that: https://feedback.play.eco
Do we have to start a new server for each update or will everything in our current one update? I only ask as I play a few other games like 7DTD where we have to start a new server every time a new update comes out.
Migration between Update 10 and 11 should work fine in most cases.
I think I hit the mark quite well.
Any (even distant) plans to finally add trains? In terms of mass shipping of goods and people, as well as being the most feasible eco-friendly mass transit solution likely to happen in game (planes and buses both being highly problematic for different reasons) it is such a natural fit. Plus you have a lot of different parts required for them, in addition to needing to plan for the tracks - so they add another area where both players and towns are encouraged to work together to provide something beneficial to the whole.
Not before release from Early Access - the latest survey we did was in favour of Animal Husbandry. We also don't think there is too much senseful use for trains in the constraints of Eco's worlds for them to deliver notably fresh content for players design-wise currently. They're definitely still on the plans, but currently even selling electricity did surpass it on the feedback tracker - so they are not in any active development.
I suppose that's fair - I personally think they could add a lot in terms of gameplay, but I am only a single voice. I also have to admit that I desperately want to see both animal husbandry AND selling electricity - I love the idea of being a utility baron. Thank you for the reply btw!
I think you responded to the wrong comment :)
Woot! Although, it seems like the auth servers are dead? (none of us have main menus upon launching the game)
The problem is that they were up, but erroring internally - that prevents offline mode to kick in, which will be fixed. Turning Steam to offline mode can circumvent that as well. It should now work.
