I think boats should be the priority
They are, trains are not even in the works and likely won't be at least until we leave EA. As far as planes go we have absolutely not even plans for that right now.

Can anyone tell me if this will actually work correctly?
As far as I know, yes you can set the time period on the meteor and it should work as intended. You should also be able to disable it entirely if you like.
how do the servers work
If you host the server yourself;
It'll run in the background as long as you leave the server executable running. You don't have to be online yourself, but your computer must have internet access & have the EcoServer.exe running. This option is "free", only costing you electricity and the time to set up the network appropriately. This is completely viable for a small server if you're technically inclined enough to set it up.Alternatively; You can rent a hosted server from a server provider (just google eco game server hosting). The cost on this option will vary depending on the host and how many player slots you want.
leaving early access this year
That ...
I doubt that goal can be held after corona hit us as well and we had a full restructuring internally, but we have not yet set any new date, so there is not much I could say to that.
It is nigh-to-impossible to chop all the trees down or kill all the animals.
Firstly, there are too many of those to be taken out by one person in time before more trees grow and more of the animals spawn.
Secondly, you cannot chop anything that is on a claim of another person (unless that person gives you authorization).
Thirdly, you can kick/ban anyone you don't want to be on your server.
And most important, and fourthly: You can make laws against that in the game mechanics.
Sorry new to this, What is Dev Tier and how can I acquire it?
Dev-Tier is our backer package that grants people access to the source code, which you can buy on our website.

Weird, from the research I've done on dysentery in Eco (which is VERY limited info), some posts suggests it was disabled/removed.
Any thought on where it could lie in the actual code? I've checked all player and elk related configs. I want to try to transplant it into another item and see if I can make it reproduce the effect in a different way.
It's still there. Can't give you any hints to the code, as Dev Tier ownership cannot be verified here, nor can such code be posted public. It's not in any of the code you can access without Dev Tier.
Dysentery hasn't been removed to my knowledge, it's just a really low chance when eating Elk Taco. I still occasionally see people getting it :)
