Because only authorized people can interact with world objects on your property.

I'm not sure, but doesn't furniture also have authorization settings? Probably try setting those to public. If it doesn't, we might add that.

I meant more for normal game where I want to be able to auto sprint whenever I walk, but I don't necessarily want to walk right now, like when you're moving resources from two piles or the like, it's a lot of stop and go which isn't that great for auto run.

We don't intend to do another feature for that, the Auto Run feature is meant for covering that and worked well for us in testing.

Auto run is nice, but could we also get an auto sprint button / toggle? Would love to just set it and forget it really so I don't have to constantly hold shift...

Auto Run defaults to Sprinting, as long as you have enough calories.

It's in WorldGenerator.eco.

Unfortunately, there is no such option.

No, you shouldn't have connection issues with a local server. If you fail to connect to your local server either the server files are corrupted, you are using a non-default world-size or there are issues with establishing connection to our authentication servers. In that case, you should contact support.

The Relay-Servers are for client to dedicated online server connections.

Today we are releasing Update 8.3.0, an update that was entirely focused on internal changes in order to improve performance short and long term.

Performance Improvements:
Our developers have been working hard on countless internal changes for this update in order to increase the performance of Eco on a wide range of different hardware configurations. We have noticeably reduced memory consumption on clients, optimized network code, reduced the frequency of FPS spikes (micro lags) during movement and you should now have a smoother experience playing Eco. Please note that there is still more to come in the 9.X updates, as we do have other optimisations prepared and in mind that require more work and / or breaking changes that are better to be introduced in a major update.

Relay Servers:
For this update we added relay server support for cases where connections between client and server cannot be established in a normal way. T...

Congratulations, you have experienced how different real-life could be, if people behaved just a bit different.

No, government owned property will be in 9.0, but if you are member of the government you will still not be able to sell to your own shop.

Accusing at least five people in this thread voicing their opinion of slandering is not making it any better, especially given the fact i had received complaints of this sort earlier on Discord about your server. (With nothing i could do, but calm people and ask them to try out other servers) In short: When a two digit number of players complain about a server telling very similar stuff, i'm not going to give you the bonus of the doubt. If you advertise, you have to live with people that are not of your opinion and that they can share it in your thread freely as long as they are not getting personally insulting. Outside of advertisement threads we do not allow that, though.

With all due respect, reporting all four criticism posts to your ad for personal harassment is not really amusing me in a positive way.

You have two choices: Either you advertise your server and accept that a lot of people seem to dislike your administration style and post publicly about that - or you cease advertising your server here. Giving me more unwarranted reports to ignore is going to get you in trouble.

Pro-Tip: Rather think about what people are telling you instead of trying to make their opinion go away.

The servers are up again.

The official servers are unreachable due to a network issue that needs work by the datacenter operator. It should be available again tomorrow.

Comment

The seize property feature somehow slipped into the release unfinished, it will be included in a working state in 9.0.

There is stuff planned for this, too, not necessarily in 9.0, though.

We do not have a central location for information on 9.0. We'll have a new roadmap later this year and some announcements on steam, too. Until then, we only release bits of interesting information on stuff that is finished across our channels.

Not any longer in Update 9.0 :)

Yes, we used a currency called Emission Permits and simulated the EU "stock exchange" of the real-life pendant. (Obviously not how it does exactly work, but a cool representation) Everyone got a limited amount of them, that was refreshed daily to a lesser amount. (E.g. you start out with 10 and get refilled to 5 per day) We built a building where we offered claims for a currency exchange and people had to buy their emits from other people that defined their price for them, giving non-polluting people a bit of control about pollution via pricing. Concept worked great, but it's a hard thing to balance what should cost how many emission permits. (And depends greatly on how many people are participating in the stock exchange)

People also got permits for doing good things - planting trees, removing wood pulp. Like in the EU system you can get certificates / not need to pay them when you make your co2 usage good via other means, for example planting forests.

So is it or is it not a file per plant in he same way as the EcoSim file?

It's neither of that.

The files for changing growth time are in Mods/Organisms and there is no template for them. Everything that can be in the files is already in there. I thought you were asking for a template for the EcoSim.eco.
