Eco Dev Tracker

The elevator desync has finally been fixed in 9.6. As far as filters go, that is planned but still in design phase, as it goes into a bit of automation, something we only want to have in Eco very low-key and probably at cost. I do fully understand that to you that might only be a simple QoL feature, but in terms of design it's a bit more than that.

I can also assure you that we are aware of pretty much every public post (as I actually read all of them), but that we indeed need to prioritize things based mostly on internal factors and that we do have a planning scope and a roadmap of the things we want to do. Not every issue that to one seems like a major problem does actually to the majority of players either and we are still in a position where we sometimes will need to decide if we put one more person on developing a feature or on fixing issues.

As I mentioned in a different post, we are mostly integrating player suggestions when we actually work on features the s...

That's what we introduced exhaustion limit feature for, but it's not used as much as we thought. It's always difficult to bring together people that wish to play a lot with people that wish to play limited times - basically only respective servers can solve that and the options for that are there.

That's already possible and 10.0 will also add the last mentioned point.

That's one of the few things we're categorically not doing in the traditional sense, but there is mechanics that support such mechanics in economical and political competition.

For suggestions our suggestion tracker is what ultimately has the highest chance: https://github.com/StrangeLoopGames/EcoSuggestions
It will likely be replaced by a different system in the future.

How it basically works is that we're picking a few smaller and QoL suggestions every Update to address and whenever we work on a new feature we're searching it for user input that has been made that is relevant to that feature, then we line the featureset out.

So yes, it is not very likely we're introducing a major game system someone suggested based on just that suggestion, but it's likely we're weaving suggestions around game systems we in some kind have ...

I'm in touch with Kye personally pretty regularly - that also applies to Monzun, Nid and any other interested modder that reaches out or that I notice needs help.

I'm not a wizard, but I'm doing my best to support them. They're actually all extremely helpful and friendly to me as well and even supporting me with changes at their mods that I use on our official servers. (And test in playtests) I think we have a very respectful, friendly and mutually beneficial relationship there (I'd just call them friends), so my view on that is severely different.

Hey Citizens,
a while ago we introduced the Storage Silo for all the mass storage needs of our valued farmers.

In Update 9.6 we're expanding on that and adding the Industrial Fridge that can store high amounts of food items which will prove very useful for all the cooks among you.

Not only that, but they will actually cool the food, which we'll shed more light on in a future post. For now, let's take a look on how the Industrial Refrigerator will look in your kitchens.

We actually openly state that Eco is not intended to have any kind of 'end'. Also, that fire hurts! :D

I indeed can't see or find a link in that post. I uploaded our video that is also on our other channels, it's at the end. No issue here either on mobile or desktop.

It doesn't fulfull any of our minimum system requirements - we set those pretty high on purpose though to be safe safe than sorry, as due to all the changes all the time we cannot really yet set specifically clear and tested requirements, so you'd need to try. But I don't think this specific thing can do it.

What link do you mean?

I unfortunately have no good excuse for that typo :D

It's not a typo - at least not ours. We took it from the menu of a restaurant near our office when we still had one, so the typo was always intended :)

Hey Citizens,
Eco offers a wide variety of food items from different regions of the world that players can craft - have you ever wondered how those would look like on a table?

Let's find out - our art team has been cooking up some 3D food for Update 9.6!
