Yes, on White-Tiger we pay every government official salaries, based on the US federal employee system to have incentive for them to care about the duties on top of playing the normal game.

Those rules aren't necessarily arbitrary but allow servers to make specific concepts, with one of our official Servers, White-Tiger, making heavy use of it. This is possible and intended gameplay as well on the meta-level that Eco makes a lot of use of. The law system is not and never can be as extensive as rules can get for concepted servers, hence that method alone doesn't work for every type of server, especially such that have a concept with a specific government type presetup (which, as you can see on White-Tiger, quite a few people seem to like).

White-Tiger makes it a bit immersive by them being a civil code and penal code that will be enforced by government appointed player judges, but the sentiment of this not being intended gameplay is not true.

Das "Basic Research Tag" ist eine Gruppe. Wenn du drüber fährst, siehst du was zu der Gruppe gehört. Du kannst alle Sachen verwenden, die in dieser Gruppe sind, nach deinem Belieben, also austauschbar.

It adds more variety, which makes building much more interesting for builders :)

Did you change your Steam Name after joining?

Any idea how responsive they are on here?

I can run it on my Mac but if you look at my post you'll see it causes a significant graphical problem which is yet unsolved

No plans for GeForce Now, if at all it would rather be Stadia, as the goal would be to provide Eco to schools mainly, not normal clients. And for that, Stadia is a much better partner.

We do have Mac Builds, we just don't support them and they're hence not a part of purchase.

As far as Streaming Services go, there is currently none with Eco.

Hi,

Recently purchased and in attempting to play on my Mac.

Currently the game always appears with different lighting on each half of the screen regardless of any adjusted settings. Is there a fix for this at all?

Currently running at a low % resolution to compensate for frame rate - normally I play on game streaming services (e.g. geforce now) but this game isn't available so having to try to run it on my own hardware.

Thanks for any help

Not a Mac / Linux issue I recognize, but very likely one. You can report them on our bug tracker but a fix in the foreseeable future is very unlikely as we do not support the Mac or Linux clients and only work on them when there happens to be free resources.

You can get rid of the GUI using alt+z :)

Or it might be ctrl 🤔

CTRL when using GeForce Experience.

This has been the case in 9.3.0 as well and is the second part of the issue that we couldn't yet fix. It will be tackled in the next hotfix.

Yes, that works as intended. You need to change the recipe when you want different logs.

Well, the config allows you to configure your world in much detail, hence it makes sense :)

How are you supposed to make enough money to afford T3 building materials and epoxy on that? Once the skill books are made the cloth has no use to any other class except tailor. It appears you want to cubbyhole Tailors to becoming Butchers/Hunters as well.

You shouldn't adjust stuff and then make them irrelevant. Tailoring is worst off as a profession now then better off.

You know what would make Hunting a relevant profession? Giving fish an actual use.

The last update was in January are you saying we will have to wait 3 months for the Tailoring to finally get balanced? Hunters finally get balanced in 3 months form now. What is regular updates? Monthly? Bi-weekly? quarterly?

The fish is actually a dev-tier submitted addition by a user we just took in as it was there. Fish was no focus at all for this update. We had a bit of cool content ready and gave it to you.

In regards to the tailor we will need to see how it plays out, which we will definitely see with White-Tiger starting tomorrow but at the current state we do not agree with the sentiment of making the Tailor useless midgame. We feel what he has to offer is useful and he will be doing fine. I'll be happy to take a review on that after this Tiger cycle :) As I said, we feel Tailor is better off now.

We don't currently do regular updates. I wished we did, have been pushing for that several times and we even tried a few tim...

Thank you. I prefer the honest way, even if that causes valid backleash. It's the better thing long-term.

Not if they have a WorldGenerator.eco file that is different from yours, as it contains the settings of the world. The seed only creates randomness. To have the same map you need the same seed and the same settings.
