It can be played singleplayer without issue.

And a single option just won't work, as we already have a single option for it, called NoCollaboration, but while a lot of people are fine with that, for others it's way too difficult. And for others too easy. The issue is that different people have different playstyles and like different things - we cannot provide one solution to rule them all, it's impossible.

No Collaboration is our singleplayer setting, most people are fine with. For those that are not, you can change additional settings to tune it to your needs.

Yes, that's been like that in earlier versions as well, though.

This is intended. In the desert you can only build dirt roads on trampled ground and you need keep the ground trampled for them to stay. This gets harder the bigger the road is.

Yes, such an elevator is being worked on.

@outlaw Can you provide your player.logs and a screenshot of your graphics settings?

Can either add here or directly to GitHub: https://github.com/StrangeLoopGames/EcoIssues/issues/18144

Did you tick the storage?

Yea well 1 GIG is gigantic if you have slow connection and 1 GIG acctually needs 45 hours for loading. Not as uncommen as you may think in Germany.
Anyways if you have bad Internet you:

1. have to live with it or
2. move to an other place with an better internet.

It can be built on the anvil, for the modern version on the assembly line.

On SP you are actually just hosting a server :)
If you still got an issue with connecting, feel free to send me the logs to investigate.

And while you can simply create the biggest world possible - you will be missing out on most of what Eco is, as pollution will be no no threat at all. You still can do it. But we're not developing it for being used like that.

Glad you figured it out, i'll collect these fixes for an FAQ.

Both of you please send me your logfiles to [email protected]:

Linux Servers are working, and fine so it seems. So we're happy to got that milestone done.

For Linux Client i'm very honest with you, we only got a single person working on build stuff and devops and we simply do not have the resources for a focus on linux there. You buying some invites for friends on linux - while i'd appreciate that - cannot change this. To pay another dev for this we'd need a hell lot more sales and linux is, as you're well aware somewhere at 1%.

Why it is not working for Proton i don't know - we don't check for Proton.

It not being mentioned in the announcement is indeed my fault, i had it announced on Discord but forgot it here in the heat of release day, you're absolutely right with this. I'm sorry for that. I tried to answer all linux questions immediately and with a link to the issue so you can follow it, though.

I cannot give you a serious estimate for release, we only have single person that can work on it. But it's ... Read more

Mh, that looks like a network issue.
Any firewall / antivirus? Try disabling that, Avira and Kaspersky are known for blocking our master server sometimes, for example.

You can filter servers in the server browser, there is an icon on the top to do so.

Try disabling filter for same version, that might help.

1) Uninstall Eco
2) Backup Steam/steamapps/common/Eco/Eco_Data/Server/Storage
3) Remove the complete Eco folder mentioned in 2)
4) Reinstall the game
5) Restore backup from 2)

Yes, thats the first thing to try for such issues. Make sure to backup your Storage directory though, in case you want to keep your old worlds.

Steam doesn't remove mod files, for example. And it tends to forgot to remove other stuff as well, so a clean install is always the best solution with problems on a major update.

Thanks for your respectful opinion, very appreciated.
We announced about three hundred times that we recommend to start a new game as we add new features and that this might break old worlds. I hope that at least the majority of our player base will like the new features :)

SteamCMD works when using an account that owns Eco to login, anonymous is not working. Fast news on discord: discord.gg/eco
