Eco Dev Tracker

That sounds like a connectivity issue, for that see the first point in this thread, it applies to that as well: https://steamcommunity.com/app/382310/discussions/4/4701287772393189498/

How you can find the logs is explained here: https://github.com/StrangeLoopGames/EcoIssues/wiki/Getting-the-Eco-server-and-client-log-files-for-local-world

Note that what we need in this case is the server logs.

Can you post the full log?

How exactly do you start the server?

The log you are getting notes that the server tries to load an existing savegame and migrate it, which fails. You may want to delete that save if you are trying to create a new one. If you are starting the server executable manually, just remove the Game.eco and Game.db in the storage folder of the server.

What version are you trying to migrate the save from and to which?

Could you send the savegame to [email protected]? Simply upload it to any service we can download it without registration.

Update 11 introduced the new adobe blocks to make basic houses quickly, they don't require wood or stone.

Sorry for the late response, it took me a while to investigate this and talk to everyone involved.

So, first for the intended state and how it works:
- Eco Credits are a integrated virtual currency in the Eco universe, and all mentions of revenue in the game related to the marketplace refer to that currency, similar to how we try to address the player as "citizen" within the game instead of as "player".
- On every purchase of a marketplace item with Eco Credits on a server, shares according to the info screen based on the purchase amount in Eco Credits are distributed to the respective receivers, also in Eco Credits. There is no sharing on buying Eco Credits with real money, sharing is based on Eco Credits spent and hence directly related to them.
- Shares are currently received by eligible server hosts, streamers and modders. The implementation for settlement shares is a bit more complex and still work in progress, as had been announced when the marketplace ... Read more

Originally posted by Delaunay: It was me who brought up the new leadership is from the White Tiger server. It helps explain reaction to OP: it "has been a common complaint, although continuously denied by devs" that White Tiger server is used for testing ground for things that might not work on other servers. The passionate defense is actually reinforcing the belief, when I think your goal was to dispel.

That is simply incorrect though, as the leadership hasn't changed since founding of the company - our CEO and Art Director are still the same people and making the key decisions about the base design of Eco. Repair Bounties were designed by our CEO, for example. I specifically noted how I joined the team due to the game desi... Read more

What are you doing when you get that?

Originally posted by TheFounder: Last 3 professions added just seem very hollow and unfulfilling. Blacksmithing is literally tools and nails. Paper is just paper, 1 workorder to place, just....paper. Artist is mostly just ink.

I actually acknowledged that issue and it's a consequence of an iterative development process where we will take a holistic pass at professions and their content levels once all the remaining professions intended to come with big ticket items are finally implemented, which isn't too many more. I'm pretty sure Jens will do a stream on that once we are at that point.

Generally smaller professions aren't bad per se, though - they are very suitable to be done by players with less time commitment a... Read more

I unfortunately don't have any current information on that, but I'll inquire about it. The pet rewards for some tiers are planned to be implemented to the game together with Animal Husbandry.

We did not intend for explosives to be PvP content, by the way.

Originally posted by Taradyn: In both cases, the rooms are underground. There are no adjacent stockpiles though there are some approx. 10+ blocks away (vertically/horizontally). I removed the ladder and floor hole, and the room calc didn't change. There's just nothing in the room that's part of the list of tier 0 or 1 objects though it is surrounded by sandstone and sand. If the surrounding terrain was included, I'd expect the numbers to be a lot higher though.

I appreciate the quick reply, Dennis. Just frustrated and stumped.

Surrounding terrain would be included if the room isn't fully enclosed otherwise. The list of blocks counting for the tier should show their location, what does it say?

Originally posted by Cattastrafy: Nice to know there's a profession that will let you be a repair man but....the game doesn't need more professions. I feel like that's moving in the wrong direction. Making painting and paper necessary was already a blow.

I understand that sentiment, but personally don't agree - and it's actually part of a roadmap item: ... Read more

Material shouldn't influence room detection, so very unlikely. Where are those things exactly? This can happen if things are in a stockpile directly adjacent to a room, for example.

It is not a secret Eco is focused around play on medium to large public servers which tend to provide the best play experience and are most akin to how we intended Eco to be played - the settlement system should provide a good insight into that. The development currently - as we had already shown in the Roadmap to 1.0 - has a major focus around resolving issues that lead to player dropoffs on such servers that are often related to economical issues caused by the fact that there is no constant need for player's professions beyond the early game - the singular most common feedback currently.

Addressing that is complicated and requires a holistic approach consisting of many different changes. The new repair system is a step in that, as is the maintenance feature and there is multiple more changes to come that have been widely requested by both players and server admins. Both features have adjusted settings on lower collaboration levels (which since Update 11 also automatica... Read more

You need to load a backup before the meteor hit, otherwise the impact time setting has no effect. You also can't turn off the meteor when it already is on the map, it only decides on if one is generated, but doesn't remove an existing one.

It is possible the modded stockpile is not implemented correctly - we do have storages that don't allow storing without pollution, for example vehicles.

If you are refering to head bobbing, that can be turned off in the settings. I otherwise didn't notice any kind of wobbling - it's unfortunately always very difficult to investigate and understand issues leading to motion sickness. Feel free to describe in detail and potentially show with markings in a video, that typically helps. You can send that directly to [email protected].
