Because such groups are doing their thing on their own and aren't cooperating with anyone else, but building a secluded community only to their own interest and detrimental to the gameplay experience for everyone else. That is a very valid problem. Other people are not not working towards the goal, just because a premade group with much more time and the organization benefit that comes from game experience and voice chat can rush quickly through content. It's not within the intention of the game and finding solutions to this problem is something we're looking into.

The branch 10.0.5_testing includes a workaround for this.

Thank you! But it does not really cover our use case. As I understand it, this triggers the moment a citizen enters the "Abandoned" demographic and therefore it is fine for all citizens in our country who stop playing.

But our main use case is this: There is property of abandoned players in the world. As our country gains culture and expands borders, these properties can be annexed (for free). We would like to also claim the property, but the moment this law takes hold, the people in question already are abandoned. I tried tinkering with a law that executes every hour or something to do this, but also no luck.

I now modified the law to check for the demographic change "Someone becomes citizen of our country" and then if that person is also abandoned to transfer the property. Will test it once we have the case again. Thanks for your help, much appreciated!

It was an example. For one-off transfers you wouldn't ususally use laws, but an executive action, where you basically say if property is owned by X, then transfer to mayor. In law you could use citizen timer to do the same, just more complicated.

Just increasing the time in Disaster.eco will also work after a restart.

I don't see the option tp post a screenshot here. The law I was trying to create reads as follows:

On event PROPERTY TRANSFER where Current Owner is ABANDONED where New Owner is CITIZEN OF XYZ Ignore Auth

This does not work, when I try to initiate the property transfer it says I am not authorized to do it. However if I replace the demographics with real player names, it does. And yes, in our tests the players in question were definitely part of the demographics.

Thanks for the hint, I have enabled images in comments.
The law you're trying to make is odd, you would usually do allow a specific title to ignore auth for property transfers or make the transfer happen by the law, like such:

Items placed by other people go to their void storage when they are evicted from residence. The player that placed the stuff can find it by clicking on the swirly icon in the bottom right corner, to the left of the minimap area.

What do you mean with "small server disconnection"? The disconnect icon appearing? Local game or server? Any more details you can give?

You can just skip the tutorial with the little "x" on its icon, no need to progress the tutorial elswhere. I have noted the issue internally to be tried to be reproduced and fixed.

We are releasing a PTR for Update 10.0.5 today that will contain a fix for this based on what we found with some players helping us out. It needs more extensive testing then hotfixes as it also includes a ton of other fixes and changes to settlements mechanics to address a few issues reported over the last weeks. You will be able to find all information on our discord once it's out: https://discord.gg/eco

Update: If I put the names of the players (the abandoned and the citizen) directly into the law, it works. But if I just put the demographics ("Abandoned" and "Citizen of..." resp.) it does not. I also tried putting an explicit player in one place and only the demographic in the other. No luck.

I would need to see a screenshot of what you're actually doing. Abandoned laws are like the most common laws and they are definitely working fine on official servers at least. It should be as simple as making an executive action that moved property owned by player in abandoned demographic to the mayor.

No, that is not possible when settlements are active. You can use your homestead as an outpost and buy property in other towns, but the point in Update 10 is to form localized communities restricted to their local natural resources.

No, you will need to spawn seeds or plants in via /give or /spawnplant. Make sure your WorldGenerator.eco was updated from the template as well, that is necessary to do on every update.

You can just transfer them to another player that can then unclaim them.

We offer prior versions as betas, so you can select the "10.0.3" beta branch by rightclicking Eco in Steam -> Properties -> Betas to connect to servers that didn't update yet.

No, please note the .x - it was planned for a later minor version of this update.

No, that is not possible. Better build a dam quickly.

We do actively communicate issues live on Discord: https://discord.gg/eco
We also have a status page: https://status.play.eco/

We cannot use a simple Steam verification, as our authentication is not done client-side but server-side, as usualy for multiplayer games. We also have many players not using Steam for playing at all that purchased the game on our website. Steam wouldn't work with those even when authentication was done client-side. (Which doesn't work for multiplayer games, given we need to check... Read more

Avatars are saved on your local computer. The avatar you used when first joining a server stays with it forever, as long as you login with the same account. The new avatar made on a second PC will hence not override or change your player on a server you already joined.

Die Framerate in Eco ist im Hauptbildschirm auf 20 limitiert - aus genau diesem Grund. Anscheinend überschreibt dein Treiber diese Einstellung, wir können dieses Problem leider nicht reproduzieren.
