This issue only happens when there is an issue with reaching authentication servers, which can happen as one of the following reasons:
- You are offline.
- Steam is in offline mode.
- Steam is on maintenance.
- Steam has any other issues.
- You played a game with a cracked steamapi without restarting Steam after that.

In every case - restarting Steam should fix it, aside if it or you are actually offline.

Ok. From the main menu he should be able to find the world under the "your worlds" option. There's a section there for local saves. Once he loads the save you should be able to join.

If the save is missing then I would guess that it got corrupted and you will probably have to start again.

As far as I know, ECO still suffers from a memory leak issue so I would advise hosts to close and relaunch the game every few hours to clear the memory and help avoid crashes.

A crash often leads to a corrupted database as databases do not like to be exited ungracefully, restoring a backup from the backups folder should be enough in that case, no new start needed.

Specialization is “unlimited”, you can level up your overall character level as many times as the server has time for but level xp requirements grow exponentially. If you play hard everyday for a 30 day meteor you may get 10 specializations but it’s wildly variable depending on the server as some give multipliers to increase level speed, how good your food variety and quality, as well as how good your housing is.

As for specialization level, yes the cap is 7.

Keep in mind that different servers have different settings for the speed in gaining stars and that required XP only grows exponentially until a specific star number, after that you always need the same amount of XP.

I obviously meant the Warm Forest, not the Worm Forest :D

5 wide is enough to have 2 trucks pass and fits a claim.

Wasn't also posted in the Server Advertisement megathread as required by the rules, hence removed.

Monetizing your server violates our ToS and could hence lead to the removal of the server and the termination of your license.

I have no idea what your talking about and am not very good with reddit, as you can see. I honestly have zero idea what a megathread is, how to get there, and how to post there.

You need to post your ad in this thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/EcoGlobalSurvival/comments/ltj1en/server_advertisements/

Until April 1 you can ADDITIONALLY post it on the main page as a post :)

Again, no ad posted in Server-Ads, removed again. A third time will lead to a temporary ban.

Comment

Missing post in Server Advertisements megathread, hence removed. Please read the rules!

It’s a “survival” game but you can’t die. It’s more about building a community together to achieve a common goal. Depending on what games you’re coming from this is likely a slower more relaxed pace. There can be a bit to lear but it isn’t too bad. Take your time and find the right community to play with and you’ll have a blast. I run a great server if you’d like to join us. Everyone would be happy to help.

We call it Eco: Global Survival for a reason - the survival aspect is towards the planet, not the player.

That won't be in Eco. Nothing more to say.

It's the first achievement, obviously we're not going to tell you what it is. :)

Warm Forest, Cold Forest, Taiga and Ice biomes can contain copper.

No - it does not. It drills into the direction of the block side you are targeting from your position, in this case sideways, that's why I said 'hollow' is a possible outcome, when there is nothing on the other side.

This is intended. 25% of your barrels get lost due to wear and tear. Eco cannot give you half a barrel, hence rounding comes into play if you only ever order one. Is technically an exploit, but by code limitation. Given that you'd need to order one-by-one, that's not a big issue.

They're being worked on!
