Btw, maybe I'm the last one still using old reddit on this sub but the header still says

Eco Beta 7.4.0 update is now available on Steam! View change list here.

Maybe you want to update that.

No, old reddit is no longer being updated here, sorry :)

We cannot guarantee that, but it should work.

The world can be converted, any laws will be lost, new animals and rocks and anything in regards to the new world generation will be missing and all recipes will be different so getting some stuff will definately be way harder. It's possible but we do not recommend it.

I can recommend PingPerfect, for dedicated servers Hetzner. I don't think there is any good US dedicated server hosts, as none of those offer big desktop hardware for cheap prices or rather not at all.

You can have your fun playing Judge Dredd RolePlay though I suppose.

I'd guess that i am well aware how to "ECO" correctly.

The smile on my face when i permanently ban people doing that on the official servers, chuckling with the other community server admins that'd do the same. Priceless.

Eco unfortunately does not support controllers at the moment.

A moderative action fitting the offense, ranging from a deletion of the post to a permanent ban.

Is a threat. Not finishing their sentence doesn't make it suddenly not be a threat.

The sentence was finished. Please take into consideration that english is not my native language. It's pretty much we won't tolerate you going on to spread wrong information - from now on, when you insist to do it again after this very warning. (Cause it already was disrespectful and could have been removed)

I'm sorry if this was misunderstandable.

Just a little tip, correct information goes a lot farther than threats to getting people to not repeat something they they vaguely remember from nearly a year ago.

Well, if you only vaguely remember stuff you simply shouldn't use it to make such weird allegations. And yes, if you continue to do so, we will act based on our rules. It was a moderative warning. If a moderative warning is a threat for you, there is nothing i could do to convince you of something else.

Sorry i remembered wrong. You do have to admit it looks suspicious when you guys were posting youtube videos every couple of weeks for quite a while then there is a 6 month gap before you started posting them again.

No, i do not. Possibly that is due to me not assuming people have something to hide!? Also, that is wrong information again, there have been exactly two previews (Crafting System being the other), not several. After that we simply didn't have any more. What we had was a few short videos, but those are still available on YouTube. Streams there only were two. I give you that you may simply no longer remember, but if you aren't sure if what you write is correct you probably should be a little more cautious about what you say.

Backing negative criticism and allegations that, if true, are indeed not "cool" with stuff you cannot remember for sure is exactly what we do _NOT_ want here.

Closer to 2 years than one. They started teasing the update last April. And the no longer on youtube video from a while before last thanksgiving teased the new ashlar building materials they said the internal beta testers already had it and they hoped to have the experimental on steam by thanksgiving. Which became new years. Which became this September.

After a second look, every video from last August to February is no longer listed on youtube. Changing plans and unexpected delays are one thing, but deleting the announcements is a pretty scummy move.

The video you search is available here: https://www.facebook.com/EcoVideoGame/videos/550143925816061/

It was never uploaded to YouTube and hence only available as a rewatchable Live-Stream for some time after the stream, those are being removed after a while like on twitch. We only started to upload edited livestreams (they got the title and end card) beginning with the Dev Blogs.

Last summer on the discord they said the in house team was testing experimental and it would be available to the rest of us in the fall. Then it became around new years. Then silence other than intermittent blog posts until now.

Those were not release dates, nothing has been delayed. We told you our current internal plannings - as such. That's also the reason why we do not give any such information anymore - people don't understand what it means.

Yay. Only a year after they said it would be.

We didn't announce any release date before this one.

Serenity is a bit slow this round compared to the ~10 on at a time we had last game but so is every server right now. If you want to join us we keep trying to think of ways to make things more interesting. Lots of mods, change settings, or even do our own modding when needed and possible. We are working on a disaster scenario where the world starts as close to barren as is possible with the current spawning systems and everyone has to plant the world first. It won't just be same old log in, cut trees, make house, and wait around for skill points.

My very subjective opinion, because of other voxel based games I have played like 7 Days to Die or Empyrion Galactic Survival:
1. Eco is not even in the same ballpark performance wise (both server and graphical) to support the idealistic, "societal" population of public servers as the "default" type of playstyle.

  1. From what I've seen of higher pop private servers, it is usually the "social" work of the admin and friends that are drawing and keeping players there, and not because of any in-game mechanics that actually help that along. Quite the opposite in fact, with the way the default chat setup works. Pressing C, then muting crafting spam, is not exactly intuitive, and messages don't stay up on the screen long enough for newcomers to notice without the chat log up.
  1. We're not having issues with that on our official servers. The local performance issues are well known and improved a lot in Update 9.0. I don't know either of these games (and 7DTD is comparing apples to meat), hence i don't know what their maximum slots is, but if its 64, Eco can do that with the correct server setup. Supporting more is something we'd like to do, but don't think is actually required. Obviously, such stuff is done at the very end of development as well.
  2. That's partly true, but actually intended. Forming a society requires interaction by humans, not by some UI. Humans use the game mechanics, that includes admins and their settings, thinking and concepts to provide a unique experience. Your comment on the chat is correct and the chat has been improved in 9.0 and will get further improvements later on, but we also do have Vivox Voice Chat and we recommend that every server admin actually creates a discord and we do provide ways to advertise these on th...
