Eco Dev Tracker

For the others: I'm assuming he didn't adapt either the name of the savefiles or the name of the savefile in the configs.

We generally don't hand out ETAs.

The application for community testing was made some months ago and already is over. People chosen will be notified as soon as tests start. (Some smaller ones already run)

If you do so, please note that Mac is not officially supported and not advertised. Mac support is beta (like early access in early access) and will likely have issues.

3D Layers would require quite some work and would strain the simulation resources usage even more, i don't think even more performance issues is what anyone wants at this time. We probably take another look at that later, but for now it's just working as designed and intended.

The layers are 2D only, hence height or depth is not taken into consideration. It works as intended. (Even though it's lame, i know)

Our animations are not necessarily there to be absolutely realistic.I'm quite sure it bothers noone that is not a lathe operator ;) I can't promise we'll go back to fix unrealistic animations, that's not a priority for us. We rather want to have animations for everything.

(Feel free to DM me how it's supposed to look, if you are able to make a painting, though)

Sounds are also improved in 9.0, as it has a new sound system allowing for trigger based ambient sounds.

Then it's unlikely that the seed in the WorldGenerator.eco is the seed of this world. In that case there is no way to generate that same world again.

Hey,

there is no way to retrieve the worlds seed if you changed the WorldGenerator.eco since generation. If you didn't, it should still be in there.

If you're referring to object animation, yes, we'll definately do and are already working on that. We do it as we exchange old objects and insert new ones.

In regards to avatars we have no immediate plans to change something, it's pretty low priority. But it's likely something will be done there later, probably around release.

Some people seem to have issues with sever ads. As long as there is only one of them per cycle, we don't mind ads. They won't be removed. Stop reporting them.

//EDIT: Funny to report this post. Very funny.
