Eco Dev Tracker

Dear Eco Citizens,
after a month of successful playtesting with you, our community, we're ready to release Update 9.6. This Update focuses majorly on improving the immersion within Eco, adding 3D models to every food in the game as well as a whole new First Person View with countless new animations. We're rounding that off by adding Shop Carts for your mobile business needs and a major new system changing up the economy: Food Spoilage!

The changelog can be found over on Steam here: ...

Boats are planned for Update 10.

Yes.

Well, you will need to find out what blocks it. Can start with exempting Eco in any security software or turning that off.

That's due to something impeding your connection to our authentication servers. Most often security software, firewalls, ISP restrictions and the like. Authentication is checked server-side in Eco, hence when you start a singleplayer game, you start the server locally and the check cannot be performed. When you join an online server there is no issue, as the server can reach the server and perform the check just fine.

As a person formerly working in a datacenter I do fully agree it has been time for supporting IPv6 everywhere five years ago. We also do have it planned, but as so many other games, softwares and ISPs rolling it out is still super slow for common reasons of priorities, even though stuff got faster there lately - but especially games still lack a lot. I personally think it needs to be way faster, but being on the other side of the complaints about missing IPv6 I also do understand that the priority that can be given to that is only very low in many circumstances - I'm basically dragged between two chairs there.

I hope it being planned at least is somewhat relieving, even if it doesn't help you right now. ISPs no longer giving dedicated IPv4s is becoming more and more common, but it actually playing a role somewhere is still too rare. I also still have IPv4 without tunnel - that changing every day (or in my case 7 days) has been common practice for all providers in my country...

I do not think there will be a problem with someone only being able to log in a couple of hours a day - that is already way more than is needed. Like, internally, we assume that on public servers players log in once per day for 30 minutes. That's simply what we feel is needed for 'active' play and is what a lot of our systems evolve around - not more, not less.

I do understand that you feel that this might be a problem on a server that only has a single cook - but if you're on a server with just friends or very small public servers it's totally fine if you change the setting for spoilage if you feel that is something you can't sustain, that's why options are there.

On the average public server that has multiple cooks, but some leaving soon due to one ruling them all (which is one of the problems we try to address) that is no problem though, same on the more active community servers as there is plenty cooks available - and as I said above, it is totally intended that...

Yes, it will.

We unfortunately have no plans to support Mac at all at this time, sorry.
