Eco Dev Tracker

"ShelfLifeMultiplier": 1.0, in Balance.eco

Dealing with other people, good and bad, is the point of the society simulation that Eco is, though.

No, but it is a planned feature :)

The time in discord is always in the clients timezone, so whoever has looked at that post saw their time :)

BOATS!

Just wanted to make you aware so there is no surprise if anything happens. Ultimately Eco has built in systems to limit governments, overthrow them and make sure that the server population needs to agree on what is proposed, having ways to stop governments with setups they don't like before they even come into effect. A second account is not needed for balanced gameplay with all options. I see that you might be able to do some interesting stuff with additional 'dummy' characters, but that's not how the game is typically played or what we want to achieve with the game, so development resources on that wouldn't necessarily be well spent and come with major drawbacks like potential for easy multi-accounting.

It was just important to me to stress that there is plenty of ways to deal with rogue governments and that it's in the hand of the players to begin with if such one can even start to exist. Eco is intended to show you that your vote also comes with a responsibility, so ... Read more

You can play with multiple characters on the same server if you have multiple Eco licenses. That works both via multiple steam accounts or multiple website purchases or multiple Steam-Linked SLG accounts given you can start the Eco.exe not going through Steam multiple times manually and log in with different SLG accounts. There is surely ways to login with multiple Steam accounts the same time as well or use different computers for it. The only thing that doesn't work is logging in multiple times with the same Steam, SLG or Steam-Linked SLG account.

Nontheless I want to note again: Most servers, including the official servers, prohibit multi-accounting and will ban players doing so.
