Eco Dev Tracker

As mentioned by others, that is only possible via global federation:

In Civics.eco set EnableAdminUI = True. In Settlements.eco set the last value of SettlementFoundationBaseInfluence high enough to fill the whole planet. (Depends on world size, 1200 is enough for maximum supported size of 2.56 km²)

Then, place a federation foundation in the world. Target it and execute /fe to force enable it. Open it, remove the check at "Needs Child Settlements". Then you're good to go to just set it up as any other settlement and have a global federation.

Eco doesn't support the ARM processors in new MacBooks, to my knowledge there is no way to workaround that.

And it's necessary for the shares to work, as they will be credited in Eco Coins.

Locking gameplay content behind payment would not fare well in a economic community game. Introducing new paid professions and content would certainly work without splitting players onto different servers, but it is hard to make meaningful as we interlink all our professions and content to require the collaboration the game is about.

That would not be possible with paid professions (otherwise they would be necessary for progress), which in turn would make the appeal for such a profession that must then ultimately be fully optional very low - and if the benefits it gave are notable enough that there is big desire, it would understandably be considered pay-to-win.

That is just not what we want to do, any try for something like that in a game like Eco would ultimately end up in a split community, even when everything can be used on the same world. That is still as deadly to games long-term as it was years ago when multiplayer games typically still released expansions i...

I can understand that - during the planning phase of the Marketplace we actually had the opposite concern - the system being used to prevent such items to be made / used.

We ultimately settled on the fact that Eco needs to stay Eco and that existing mechanics need to apply to those objects as they do to every other object, any form of malicious abuse will need to be handled through ToS.

It's still only a first implementation that works with our existing systems, given the objects aren't technically skins, but separate objects inherting from the base object. That may change in the future and has already been suggested to do, also for ease of use.

Configurability by the server was actually considered - it would require populating a config file with every single cosmetic variant, as the limits are set separately for every object and are different for at least every item category. That can become quite convoluted.

It would of course also prevent us from having special deals like higher limit purchases or packages, which we wanted to keep as an option for now. It is also debatable how players react when their purchased goods availability is different per server, directly supported by us, compared to only be restricted from selling them to other players which we can easily note in the purchase terms. There is a fine line between "players purchased something and expect to be able to use it" and "the items must follow all rules that every other does in Eco to not provide any benefits".

I suggest you bring that up in the feedback channels once the playtest starts, reconsideration isn't out of question. That's also t...

They are separate objects, they just inherit values from the base object and use it for crafting - as such they can all be targeted separately.

Clothing is something we could imagine as well, people will be able to give feedback during the playtests on what they would like to see in the Marketplace.

Cosmetics work as their own objects based on a base object, they fully support all laws as well. Exempting them would not make sense, given the idea is to fully integrate them into the normal gameplay in all regards. They are not supposed to give any benefits - be it only that they cannot be targeted by laws in opposite to the base variants.

You can disable players being able to sell paid items to other players in the server config. (It's actually disabled by default)

Sure, but they could simply disable it as well then.

It is not possible to have more than one homestead, including with Settlements off. You shouldn't set that though, as it is a legacy setting that may be removed at any time in the future and saves would no longer be working once it is removed, hence for singleplayer the setting cannot be turned off without manually starting a server.

You can still configure the game to give you extra claim papers and stakes that can be used outside of settlements in Difficulty.eco when reading skill scrolls, similar to how things worked in Update 9. If you use the "No Collaboration" preset for singleplayer, that is the case by default, otherwise you want to set these values:

"ClaimStakesGrantedUponSkillscrollConsumedAndSettlementsEnabled": 1.0,

"ClaimPapersGrantedUponSkillscrollConsumedAndSettlementsEnabled": 5.0,

I'd not call it cannibalizing, but the new maintenance and repair system only comes in 10.3 - Blacksmith will make much more obvious sense then.

You can also use the law system to prevent login during the non-weekend days, but obviously the meteor timer would continue to run. The exhaustion system is also able to not give any hours during weekdays, but the same problem with the meteor appears.

I want to commend you for that.

I don't think so - on our discord we don't have a place for LFG and it's restricted to the regional channels, instead we do Server Ads there. Steam would be another alternative that has a LFG board.

That is purposefully no longer possible due to vehicles not being assigned to any specific settlement like normal deeds are and as such any settlement technically being able to take over the ownership the moment the vehicle enters the influence of the town. Unfortunately this was heavily abused.

In a future version we may be able to tie vehicle deeds to the settlement of its owner as well to ensure that they cannot be seized by foreign settlements. There is no guarantee for that happening nor an ETA, though.

You can still (and it should now also work again), ignore authorization for vehicles that are in your influence to move them somewhere more convenient.

Something is deleting required game files from your PC, potentially antivirus software.

Try posting it in #notice-board channel, WT main channel is a typically quick chat channel where people don't see what was written three minutes ago. (Also WT has restrictions on grouping with companies, so there's stuff involved)

Also check once server is live in general chat.
