You seem to be missing taxes. This doesn't happen with taxes.

See White-Tiger's UBI and taxes.

I cannot contribute to a way without UBI, as of my experience it's the absolute best thing you can do out of a multitude of benefits it has.

A VPN shouldn't cause any crashes, it can prevent you from accessing the online services though, if the VPN is blocked by Cloudflare.

The room tier is not determined by the furniture you have in your house, but the material the house is made of. To increase the tier you'll need to use bricks or lumber for the house instead of hewn logs / mortared stones.

Originally posted by halmal242: I am having a similar issue with the Update 10 Playtest Solo. It says on the server crash log that an instance is already running and can't start a new one when I have no servers running.
That error appears when the port is used for any reason only. It doesn't even need to be a running server, it can be some other service using that port or a hung up instance of the server still in the task manager. Please also note that we do currently not support private servers on Update 10. The playtest branch is solely intended for playing on our official playtest server. Please keep in mind that changes on the playtest branch could break your savegame irrecoverably at any time.

Water flows when the connections are correctly setup and the pumps are in a working state. Would need to see a detail screenshot of the whole setup to say more.

I can't give you an ETA, it's not currently on the medium-term roadmap. Water wheels are not affected by this feature not existing either, you are supposed to settle near rivers to use them. Updates to water have been made in Update 10 to support boats, though.

No, we're not providing these files at this point. Please note that in our playtest announcement we made clear that we can at this point not offer any support for private playtest servers and that those may break at any time. Public servers on playtest are currently not allowed. (They are not listed on the server list)

The playtest is simply not yet stable enough to be used outside a controlled environment.

Those settings will purposefully not be made available in the client, due to them only being suitable and supported to be changed for dedicated servers and having high complexity. They are all part of an config file, though and can be changed via the Server UI.

We don't have any XML files to modify things, I guess you talk about .cs files, which are just program code. It's modding when you do that, all relevant settings are available in config files. Anything specific you miss?

"vanillaplaytest" is outdated at this point and shouldn't be used anymore. Next playtest is on "wtplaytest" again.

You need to craft a town foundation at a ballot box.

If you are all alone then you don't need to worry about others taking your stuff so go explore the server for locations that can work to grow and become a city. Some might start around a coal mine while others might look for limestone or sandstone. A place near a forest or where the forest, grasslands and desert overlap might be good, as the land might be flat and you have several different biomes for resources.
Once you've found a spot, claim it using the LCPs you have. You can change the name of it on the deed. And that's how you start from nothing. As soon as you can, make a research table and start researching skills so you can get the books; learning a page from each will get you another 5 LCPs each. Those books can supply an infinite number of pages for others so you can offer them free to others who might join you as an incentive.
Hope that helps!

OP is likely talking about Update 10 where this doesn't work.

Eco is targeted towards and developed for a multiplayer experience - but also highly configurable, there is basically very few things you couldn't configure to your personal liking, as other people in this thread already mentioned. If you have any specific questions about that, I'm happy to help.

They're in the foundation of the town.

Hey Eco Citizens, Art Director Milenko here,
in this blog we will be talking about new avatars, the avatar creation system we are trying to implement, looking back at multiple increments of the avatar development during the game production so far and reminiscing a bit about the game and thoughts we had while making it.
