Yes. The Steam version just handles the accounts with Steam IDs rather than the SLG ID. Steam and SLG accounts play on the same servers.

This is correct.

I think boats should be the priority

They are, trains are not even in the works and likely won't be at least until we leave EA. As far as planes go we have absolutely not even plans for that right now.

Can anyone tell me if this will actually work correctly?

As far as I know, yes you can set the time period on the meteor and it should work as intended. You should also be able to disable it entirely if you like.

how do the servers work

If you host the server yourself;
It'll run in the background as long as you leave the server executable running. You don't have to be online yourself, but your computer must have internet access & have the EcoServer.exe running. This option is "free", only costing you electricity and the time to set up the network appropriately. This is completely viable for a small server if you're technically inclined enough to set it up.

Alternatively; You can rent a hosted server from a server provider (just google eco game server hosting). The cost on this option will vary depending on the host and how many player slots you want.

leaving early access this year

That ...

I doubt that goal can be held after corona hit us as well and we had a full restructuring internally, but we have not yet set any new date, so there is not much I could say to that.

It is nigh-to-impossible to chop all the trees down or kill all the animals.

Firstly, there are too many of those to be taken out by one person in time before more trees grow and more of the animals spawn.

Secondly, you cannot chop anything that is on a claim of another person (unless that person gives you authorization).

Thirdly, you can kick/ban anyone you don't want to be on your server.

And most important, and fourthly: You can make laws against that in the game mechanics.

Sorry new to this, What is Dev Tier and how can I acquire it?

Dev-Tier is our backer package that grants people access to the source code, which you can buy on our website.

Any thought on where it could lie in the actual code? I've checked all player and elk related configs. I want to try to transplant it into another item and see if I can make it reproduce the effect in a different way.

It's still there. Can't give you any hints to the code, as Dev Tier ownership cannot be verified here, nor can such code be posted public. It's not in any of the code you can access without Dev Tier.

Dysentery hasn't been removed to my knowledge, it's just a really low chance when eating Elk Taco. I still occasionally see people getting it :)

You never played on White-Tiger where you need to craft each scroll with the price of the respective book? Well, then play next cycle, when you need to craft each scroll at the price of the book and first need to craft the book as a server-wide megaproject to unlock it in the sense of ages with a price similar to a mini WT computer lab! (Like in Civilization)

Or in other words: I somehow don't agree :D

Official servers do not 'simply vanish', that's their point. :)

Same here, Server Advertisements are ONLY allowed in the respective thread.
You CAN do posts with updates and cool content from your server, but those may NOT include anything else than the server name - no IP, no discord, no website. The main focus needs to be on storytelling and showing content, not advertising. This is cleary an advertisement and as such has to go to the respective thread.

Comment

Please post Server Ads ONLY in the respective thread for that. Post removed.

Seems like I have to delete the folder everytime I switch servers.

Thank you!

No, you should not need to do that, either there is a permission problem or one of the mods is faulty.

White-Tiger and the other officials have no mods to download, so this message appearing is worrying. I'd suggest to remove the whole Strange Loop Games folder in AppData/LocalLow and trying again. (It's a hidden folder in your user folder, you might need to change Windows settings to see it)

If that doesn't work, an additional full uninstall and reinstall would be the next thing to try. This likely is caused by mods and unfortunately we do not offer support for modded clients, but the nuclear solution should work in any case.

Doesn't change my assessment. Eco is in Early Access and has little performance optimization yet. I obviously don't want to talk you out of buying the game if you really want it, I just can't make you hopes for fluid and fun gameplay with those prerequisites and don't want to be unhonest to you. You're very invited to try it out - on Steam you got 2 hours for refunds, on our website you got a voluntary 14 days after purchase no matter how much playtime as long as you DO NOT LINK your account to Steam.

It might have been good if you posted what specs you have as well.

Comment

In all honesty, if it's a Laptop AND it's below minimum requirements, you'll likely not have much fun and if it works at all is highly doubtful. For example, if you have less than 2 GB VRAM or just exactly that, you'll very likely have issues. I mean you can try via Steam Refund Policy, but our minimum requirements really are _hard_ requirements.

I totally agree.

We typically can recommend PingPerfect. They have high prices, but they deliver what they state guaranteed. We had a lot of issues with Nitrado in the past, but they ultimately cooperated to get stuff sorted.

You can also fill the fountain with blood and other weird fluids, depending on where the sun stands. The Eco gods sometimes aren't easy to understand.

Nice read as always, though I'm a "bartering is useless and boring, start with a cool government (or even society) concept and global currency and work flexibly from within" person and can only recommend everyone to try that as well - it's great. It's also typically the servers that have the most retention. And the meteor may still fall, as White Tiger likes to say. ;)
