This specific generator is a solar tower, does not create pollution and uses water correctly. We might add a different solar power option in the future, but there is no current plans for this.

I'd also request you to voice your opinion a bit more respectful in the future.

You are using outdated configs, make sure Difficulty.eco looks like this:
{
"CollaborationPreset": "MediumCollaboration",
"DifficultyModifiers": {
"SpecialtyCostMultiplier": 1.0,
"SkillGainMultiplier": 1.0,
"SpecialtyExperiencePerLevel": 25.0,
"CraftResourceModifier": 1.0,
"CraftTimeModifier": 1.0,
"PlayerExperiencePerSpecialtyExperience": 0.0
},
"EndgameCraftCost": "Normal"
}

It's a solar tower: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_power_tower
They boil water to generate power.

The skill is broken and will be hotfixed, probably tomorrow.

Yes, when removed everywhere on the world without a chance to repopulate.

They respawn naturally.

Originally posted by Scuff100: There are mods for land claim crafting, but in vanilla Eco, the only way to obtain land claim papers is from skill books. Don't quote me on this, but I do believe that land claim distribution is planned to be changed in 10.0 (of course, we don't know when 10.0 will arrive) to be given by the government instead of skill books.

That's correct.

Haha, interesting, didn't think about that one.

Exactly.

Because one gets lost due to wear & tear ;)

Du kannst früher oder später alles lernen, aber für den Singleplayer möchtest du die Skillrate vielleicht etwas höher stellen (und auf jeden Fall auf "No Collaboration" basieren), damit es schneller geht.

^ That's correct.

The reason is that the Upgrade Modules are the less immersive way to increase productivity. For the mining stuff we have improved work tables in tiers to make the resource cost more effective. This might become the default for all work tables in the far future, but obviously requires the making of a lot of new work tables.

thoughd about picking up the game again but nah, not gonna waste electricity on this one. cpu is chilling at 20-30% utilisation.

yet another indiegame wich never gets optimised.

The game is not struggling in the main menu, the main menu is not CPU limited at all and GPUs go insane calculating the scene, utilizing all they can. In 9.1 the scene is limited to 30 fps until we remade the scene to be a bit less taxing on your GPUs. So that's known and fixed.

Not to mention that games get fully optimised when they are switching stages from Early Access to Release - which we are still quite... Read more

We'll never know. It's some planet somewhere in the universe. Stuff seems to work differently there. :)

Because GoG is so much fairer than Steam and a great place to get DRM-free software, which is a very valid reason. I buy games i can there as well. As we sell our game via our website and do not plan to have a version without authenticiation due to online features we won't have it there for now, though. Doesn't mean i don't like and sympathise with GoG.

No, there won't be a version that does not require authentication with our servers.
