So my husband and I got this game to play as couple activities during our winter vacation. We started a private LAN server on saturday and are having a lot of fun playing when we can. I tried to start a town, but it said I need 3 players.. so I was wondering if there is a work around to get the settlement working in a duo game... I really want more land claim papers to build a mega house lol

With default settings (No Collaboration) you don't need settlements to get more land claim papers, you will still get unrestricted ones like before in Update 9. You can reduce the amount of players needed for a town in the Settlements.eco config file, located in /Steam/steamapps/common/Eco/Eco_Data/Server/Configs.

Change the 3 in "MinCitizensToFoundSettlement" to 2.
The fastest way to apply default settings to your world in regards to the first thing I said is just creating a new world with default settings and any adjustments you may have made in the game, then delete that world and load the old one. The configuration will also apply to that one.

You don't need a town if it's just the two of you because you don't need to protect resources or your personal stuff from each other. So you can turn settlements off and there's an option to reward claim papers (and stakes) with every star you spend.

The stakes are only useful if you want to build craft tables outside of your home area, since your talent perks only apply to claimed tables.

Turning settlements off in singleplayer is not possible without editing config files directly and doing so will make the world unsupported if you have any issues, as settlements off is a legacy setting that may go away at any time. Never turn settlements off in singleplayer, just use the settings that are there to give unrestricted claim papers and which are enabled by default when starting a world with No Collaboration.

I am at 9 star and got no extra claim tšŸ˜„... I want a bigger house. I am litterally solo building a village... my hubby is building himself a skyscraper to fit everything in... but I dont like that... I went foodie by the sea style... so how do I find those papers then?

Read my answer above. You get the extra claims through reading skill scrolls when the setting is active.
