Sorry, our game is about a different kind of PVP - based on opinions and fights about how things in society should be solved. You'd battle your corrupt world leader and the smelters not caring about the ecology rather than killing people. *g*

The wheelbarrow is going to replace the small wood cart in the future, just like the steam truck replaced the electric cart. We're still working it out, though and it'll be easier to handle in the future.

I'm not a reddit guy at all, not using it privately either. So i'm doing my best to read the messages everyday, but i'm not maintaining this reddit. Afaik this is also subject to the reddit mods, i'm not even able to change that release announcement for 7.4.

We have released patch 0.8.0.4 with the following fixes and improvements:

Fixes:
  • Fixed zero tax display in transfer UI.
  • Fixed world leader removal from treasury bank account
  • "Your currency" law clause now counts all funds on all accounts!
  • Optimized rubble.
  • Fixed initial currency setup from server default currency
  • Fixed issue with non-withdrawing funds during trade when total tax (seller + buyer) is greater than buyer funds.
  • Fixed currency dropdown indexing (from master) => results in working /leader command and some minor stuff
  • Fixed black screen on first login
  • Fixed steam tractor exceptions when it moved with no driver

Starting with this version, we ship a 32-bit version of the EcoServer.exe which is used by default for singleplayer worlds, greatly reducing memory consumption.

After many long months of work, Eco 8.0 is released! We’ve got a ton of new stuff in this update, resulting in a very different feel to the game overall.

New World Generation


World generation has undergone a variety of changes and improvements.  Many new parameters have been added to world generation, such as land/water balance, number of continents and islands, sizes of biomes, and number of water features such as rivers and lakes.  All of these parameters may be tweaked within the world generator config file. As a result, worlds are much more varied with specific resources only being made available within specific biomes.

You can't. The name in Eco is the steam name with which you joined the server. If you change your steam name and then freshly join a server you will have a different name.

We have released patch 0.8.0.2 with the following fixes and improvements:

Fixes:
  • tweaking for view distance and chunk loading
  • fixed completed tutorials list layout
  • fixed "?" as balance string in treasury
  • fixed DefaultWorld to one with valid Citizenship law
  • fixed dead-lock with steel (when pump was needed for steel and steel needed for pump)

Improvements:

  • added ping retries if for some reason ping was last for first attempt

Performance:
  • minor performance improvements

There is no more unlearning feature and there is no way to delete your character yourself, unfortunately. Fiddling with the savegame you or your serveradmin can, though.

Die deutsche Lokalisierung ist zu etwa 75% fertig, da aber alle unsere Übersetzungen von der Community erstellt werden, wird diese nie wirklich vollständig oder richtig gut sein. Ich habe mich selber in letzter Zeit darum gekümmert, diese zu verbessern und 8.0 wird einen spürbar größeren Umfang in der Übersetzung haben, aber eine Übersetzung garantieren können wir generell in keine andere Sprache als Englisch.
