How do you lower the resource requirements?

It looks like the game file for this SP world has been corrupted. My machine crashed the last time I did a disconnect.
Eco needs to be exited gracefully at all times due to using databases. By default we create backups every 30 minutes, though.

You can find them in /Steam/steamapps/common/Eco/Eco_Data/Server/Storage/Backups.
Simply copy the files from the last working backup over.

It's not really a depth, as copper mostly is vertical blobs. You just need to find the right place. Mountains are good.

Can you explain in more detail what the issue is, possibly adding a few screenshots from the status GUI and the waste filter in the world?

That's very possible - I was talking of Windows. The linux server is still early development.

It does take quite a while to load even just a 8km² map and ... its size is ideal for a large server population. One with many active players. It would also likely happen that entire nations would form due to the sheer size of things. Curvature is still as stongly pronounced as it is with a smaller world meaning i...

You can place them where you stand, you should be pushed out of them afterwards.

Do you get any error when trying to take it out?

Hey,
open the map and on the right side choose the layer for oil to see where you can find oil on a heatmap.
The more oil that is available at a specific place, the faster you can create the oil products with the pumpjack.

More disasters are definately planned, but they'll be solely natural, as we need to take precautions for their effects, randomness and possible griefing.

Eco does not have any water physics, so this is normal behaviour.

No matter that, please don't advise people to do dangerous stuff when a dev literally offered a fix for the person directly above you.

The issue has been solved by the way and the users savegame was fixed by us.
