We are working on a fix for Update 9.6.3. The issue unfortunately is a bigger one that especially appears when a lot of world updates are triggered and is caused by a fix for teleporting in mines and on stockpiles, so the solution for all three issues is a bit complicated. We try to be as fast as possible. Once it's ready it will be pushed with a fix for the Big Shovel and the Crane.

The new version of Big Shovel will not add a new shovel, but just edit the existing one, as far as I understood.

Kye has noted on the Discord that the mod will only start to work once Update 9.6.2 is released.

You can add a recipe to craft Land Claim Papers like we do on White-Tiger and do so at a table only the government has access to via a law. Or just spawn them a mass of them in.

It is possible to report servers for violations of the Terms of Service at our support mail, but that needs to happen with clear proof. This case unfortunately doesn't look like a ToS violation. I also removed the post that namecalled, given we ask for not to do that in the stickied post.

In 9.5 they fixed the Fishing Rod and catching Pacific Sardines was made possible again. This was said by a dev on official Eco Discord.
Unfortunately it returned and has a fix coming for it.

That I can't reproduce. Which inventories you can't access?

This whole patch is aimed at slowing things down. I didnt know about this item but it doesnt surprise me at all! It was a bit cheecky to just get out of the drivers seat, press E while looking at the bucket and transfer all out. Now you actually have to use the operating mechnanics to empty the machine. The devs have picked a direction. It is supposed to be a casual game and casually you shall play!

That's not intended. We're taking a look at it.

The mechanics haven't changed for a very long time, so it still works as originally.

The release of the Update was announced two weeks ago and most of its contents had been revealed as well - maybe you want to join our Discord, which is our main news hub or check our Social Media Channels where we typically put the smaller things :) There also has been a public playtest going on for a month.

Yes, you will find the setting in Balance.eco, it's the ShelfLifeMultiplier.

The effects you see might not even be related to trample. Have you checked the biomes are still correctly in place and made sure that your EcoSim.eco is up to date?

I don't know Empyrion and have never played Ark in singleplayer (nor do I know if that is even possible - if it's not, they also don't need Cloud Save; they also may have more options than the default given their size compared to ours) but I host a server for the latter which world saves are nowhere near a full Eco world in size, which is likely due to indeed very little games (I know none other) keeping as much statistical world data as we do for the purposes of our economy and government systems and the fact that our singleplayer is simply a dedicated server started locally with the effect of worlds being centrally saved in the server folder, not an application folder; automatic backups being created and configs being global, not per world. (We do investigate support for per-world configs optionally in the future, though)

In any case it doesn't really matter what I think personally, the current state after developer investigation is that it is not possible with how Eco cu...

I don't know how Factorio works in detail and if they use multiplayer dedicated servers for singleplayer like we do. But a quick Google has shown that Steam Cloud and their save file sizes often causes issues for players and that their save files seemingly don't go into the gigabyte range for a single long-played savefile as can happen with Eco. They also don't seem to save backups of the same size for a longer time that are part of each world in Eco. (And the world is the save)

Hey Citizens,
we have just released Update 9.6.1 that includes some key fixes and polish to new features, as well as a built-in sign for the shop cart to display text to potential customers. It has been great hearing feedback from the community on all the new changes, and we are committed to frequent updates as we work towards our next major release!

Note: As part of a migration fix for this update, servers that have been created since the release of Update 9.6 with laws that reference the abandoned demographic will need to revise these laws to make sure the demographic is correctly set to "abandoned" - it is possible that laws that were intended to target abandoned citizens will affect active players otherwise!

I went with the initial tip to just change the local files. Worked fine :) Just wished we wouldn't need to tamper with files to begin with

Can unfortunately not reproduce. Starting a local server through the game, typing /serverui, alt-tabbing out and there it is in the task bar.
