It's based on naturally generated terrain level, e.g. the ore is higher up where there are hills above it and follows the wave pattern of the terrain. Sea level plays no role.
I can't really imagine what happens here without a video, any chance you can provide one?
Everyone I've asked to try has failed to so far. Been an issue for a couple of days. The error specified occurs the moment you press the G key too.
It's weird, as it doesnt hint at a server problem, but something wrong with the client and sending and receiving requests. That wouldn't usually happen to everyone though. Given I also cannot reproduce the issue, I have literally no idea. I made a investigation task, but that may take a good while at current time to get onto the plate.
public bathrooms? Interesting lol. Do you have a link to any guide or video that will help us get an in-depth understanding of influence acquisition? Thanks!
We don't have any specific guides, some of the developer streams may help and there should be some YouTube content around in the future as well, I guess Oearth may make a video on it.
Try the dresser for that, I think I saw it in there
That is correct. The avatar you configured in main menu only determines the avatar at joining, further changes in main menu will not change it on servers you already joined.
Yes, in Settlements.eco:
"MinCitizensToFoundSettlement": [3, 12, 30],
Values in order of Town, Country, Federation.
Is this the case for everyone playing on the server or just specific people?
The influence is increased by gaining culture through pictures and reputation and to some degree public bathrooms, this system will be expanded with more community centric activity options later on. You can configure the base influence in Settlements.eco as well if you just want to increase the base influence. You cannot claim outside of influence, that only works with legacy governments and SettlementsEnabled = false in Feature.eco. Note that a world that at any point had Settlements enabled cannot turn it off, one needs to create a new world for that.
