Big shovel for 2. You really want me to shovel 1 piece of clay at a time? What a joke.

Stockpiles having stacks of 20??? That’s definitely third. This always leads to having tons of stockpiles and just added confusion compared to servers that have 100 stacks.

Not to mention they just broke the movement on carts so they get stuck going down hills now lmao

I’ve played with full contributing groups of 11 people and that is still a grind the fact that the game now expects us to jump through extra hoops to obtain the same amount of resources should upset everybody

It's okay if you don't like that and mod it - we have that support for a reason - but most people do not and it's how the vanilla game is supposed to be.

Is it still considered an exploit on a server that specifically has increased stockpile ranges and stack sizes? The vanilla version of this game is far too much of a grind especially since you guys ruined cart movement in 9.4.

Also you gave everybody small wood carts which seems ridiculous, especially since it was added to the logger but they’ll never be able to sell one because everybody already starts with one. It’d be like selling stone axes at your store. So just replace the small wood cart with the og torch stand.

Or here’s a genius idea, make the campsite 1 slot bigger.

Of course not, you can mod your servers however you want, but then you are not playing vanilla, hence also do not receive any support. I obviously can only make statements on the vanilla game that most people play, so if you play with mods you can of course do whatever you want, I'm just talking about what we will do with the main game.

The wood cart change is intentional, as that is how you will do it in the future when UI moving does no longer exist for many storages. We only change stuff bit by bit, as we of course keep those 'tricks' until we have a system ready that works as a replacement. So it makes sense to give people that, so it doesn't become a hassle.

I think the idea for the future is that moving between stockpiles is supposed to use carts or some other vehicle and feeding to stores is supposed to use conveyers.

That is the spirit of how it will work in the future, including with no UI moving possible at all anymore for many storages, can't say anything more yet, though.

Yes, the ranges were kept.

Yeah, wish that the starter kit was a storage chest that had in it a tiny stockpile, tools, and the food. The campsite just gets tossed at some point, but I guess you got to have some trash in the end.

The campsite allows sleeping, which is important in singleplayer.

So in every eco run I have ever done I have used the torch stand to link stockpiles (ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT WHILE MINING) I understand I can easily just use tiny stockpiles or any other 1x1 piece of furniture that connects to stockpiles (a brazier comes to mind) but starting with one makes it so much easier. IMO the torch stand is the most useful item you get in your campsite

This behaviour is actually an exploit which is going to be fixed in a future update, hence bringing back the torch stand for this would totally not be an option *g*

The machete has much bigger use for new players to cut foliage, especially in the jungle for faster movement, so it is much more useful than the torch stand. As campsite slots are limited, we've decided to replace the torch stand with it.

We are happy to announce the release of Eco Update 9.4! With this update comes a load of new content, gameplay mechanics, and performance improvements.

One major focus of this update was to provide more ways to express yourself via the avatar, including new animated emotes and avatar customization choices, We expanded the game with thirty new food items representing well known dishes from around the world. In addition, producing green energy is more realistic, requiring placement with proper access to the elements.

We have also been hard at work at optimization, both for the Eco client and for server calculations. You should notice significantly smoother gameplay, though optimization will continue to be a primary focus for us in future updates. Last but not least, we had a heavy focus on bug fixes and other general improvements with a full list of changes included below.

Removed a post from /u/Binkabonkaa below yours that violated rule 2. I really have no problem with adult talk personally, but if you're going to make NSFW jokes, at least do so in a way you still have to do a bit guessing work in your head.

An explicit description of furries and what people think they would do in a way worse than any dirty talk I've seen is definitely not suitable for this sub, though, and not only NSFW but quite a bit negative prejudice to them as well, no?

(Just for transparency)

Huh, guess they are. Wonder when that changed.

They are not, they just need to go to the respective megathread.

No, Eco uses a server system, especially as save files can easily get as big as 10 GB. :D

Take it into your hands, and smite the object. Attention, there is no question if you really want to do that.

You need to claim property as a player and transfer it to a title or demographics. Yes, that does use up player claim papers.
