No, there really isn't something you could do. Eco just needs a lot of resources for server hosting. You don't need a second game copy for setting up a dedicated server on it's own machine or a dedicated server. You can also get them at several game server providers like Ping Perfect or G-Portal.

Please try what I wrote in my first post in this topic, Eco itself is not involved in these errors.

Exhaustion timer is off by default and can be configured in Balance.eco.

No, that is not possible, at least not without a lot of unsupported savegame editing.

Ah, interesting, will keep that in mind for future such cases as well. Glad you could get it solved and thanks for actually getting back to us and sharing your solution :)

As I have been stating in the past, we unfortunately do not have any plans for removing authentication of players on servers. I can totally understand your opinion on and feelings about that, given I'm a gamer as well, but this is simply a business decision.

Eco servers do not use multiple cores well, they profit much more from high frequency than multiple cores (anything beyond two cores after world generation, actually), so depending on CPU model it's very possible for there to be issues with that, yes.

We still don't have plans for that, but I've seen people getting good results with steam controller compatibility mode.

so by building more you mean just have multiple of them in a single building? or can i just break it and put it back down to reset.

Yes, doesn't even have to be the same building.

I'd like to argue that the number of slots need to be proportional to the size requirement of the item.

What ends up happening instead of what you describe, is that people squish multiple laws into one to save space, which just creates a mess.

Demographics table would be fine with 2-3, but court should have 5 or so IMO.

I also quickly looked into modding this and it's not super simple, but probably doable.

Yeh, people squishing multiple laws into a single one is something I fear as well, could be solved by maximum amount of clauses, but that would limit lawmakers, especially such as on White-Tiger. I'm not sure if people wouldn't still squeeze multiple laws into a single one, because this basically is the typically "border" problem:

"Okay, now I got three laws and just need one more, let's squeeze it into the third".
The same also does happen with the sixth, when you can place 5 though.

It's like when companies offer a timeframe where purchasers of version X of a software can get a free or discounted upgrade to the new version released shortly after. No matter where you place the border, there will be a person being just one day over it and feeling bad about it.

You're supposed to create multiple of these objects, to represent the increasing size of your government through increased room needs and building size. You might be able to mod the tables to allow more slots, but it's not something currently supported via configuration and given the goals I don't know if that is something we might provide for in the future.

High-End unfortunately says nothing in regards to Eco servers, especially with several players and one playing the client on the same computer. As I said, this is the typical behaviour for overload. The other typical behaviour for that is players being disconnected at world ticks.

This is a typical sign of the server not being able to keep up with the actions of the players, usually an issue that occurs when the hardware isn't powerful enough. You could try to have someone else host the server or using a dedicated machine for it.

Higher tier tools have bigger durability and some tools offer area of effect actions.

If you do have any antivirus software aside of Windows Defender, make sure that Eco is correctly exempted from measures or try to turn it off and see what happens. Installation is done by Steam, as Eco works portable and just needs the files present. Alternatively you could try to download the SLG Client from our website by linking your Steam account to a play.eco account and downloading the client.

Yes, it does. Singleplayer in Eco is nothing else than a multiplayer dedicated server hosted locally and the servers verify ownership of the game for joining players. Eco does not have a separate singleplayer.

Government ran power is also the reason why it currently works as intended like this.

The store is getting an overhauled UI in Update 9.5 that we think is a lot better in QoL. :)
