Me and some of my friends are thinking of buying this game and I have a question for the multiplayer ! Does the host always need to be online/ingame ? Or are saved synchronized between the players ?! So if I’m the host and not there can my friends still play on the world? that’s what I mean !

No, Eco uses a server system, especially as save files can easily get as big as 10 GB. :D
