Though lots of mods are only available through the Githubs of their respective owners, like the CivicsImportExport one.

I unfortunately don't think we can do that, as far as I know that is determined by Steam based on if there is any Mac builds uploaded, which we do have (development builds without warranty for Intel Macs). Hence the only way for any games is to check what their system requirements state, which is only Windows for Eco. If you know a way to do so while keeping the builds, let me know.

Yes, at least once - afterwards you can make use of mods like Civics Import / Export and WorldEdit to copy things into new servers.

Experience settings can be adjusted in Difficulty.eco config file, for example SkillCostMultiplier. How to access that depends on your server host, so their FAQ should have info on that.

Setting up coins and laws before the server requires spawning the respective objects and configuring them as admin as you would do as player, there is no shortcut around that.

MoF can create additional currencies - we already had food stamps on WT's predecessor in the past. If the MoF is in, it shouldn't be a problem.

Transparency Note: The commenter was requested to adjust the comment to follow Rule 5 of this subreddit and has complied with that.

Reminder for everyone else that intends to post server stories here: Namecalling of both persons and servers is prohibited on this sub to avoid toxic discussions about different perceptions of events or the other side not even getting a chance at all to give a statement, given they usually don't know about it. Hence please make sure to anonymize your experiences - this rule applies on all of our channels, they are not the right place for this.

If there is a violation of the Eco ToS in play, please reach out to [[email protected]](mailto:...

Rev can handle a cycle even when a PoE season starts, I'm sure you can manage as well!

Jokes aside, let me know if the game is any good. I liked Civ 6, but the new era mechanics with choosing different civs on each era sounds very alien to me.

Also, to add anything something to the topic: Just look through the bigger community servers, many of them have own takes on things. It is also worth to check out smaller settlements, I sometimes (just not often enough for my personal taste) find really cool laws where people put in notable thought power to solve issues, for example trying to follow the spirit of the game that can easily be lost and support those people with less capabilities so everyone has a good time. In the end, that is the absolute best someone can do, making other people be able to play happily along with others that could also dominate the market with their experience but understood that the game is best played when you give something you have so someon...

Whenever I mention wealth taxes, people tell me very insisting that they would rather quit than pay them ;)

We didn't back out of trains, trains are still planned. But we have communicated for very long (minimum since I work here) that it will not be in Early Access - mostly due to the fact that trains could add very little of value to the current gameplay in the form we intended them, as there is no real need for the large scale transportation they were intended to introduce and that boats will also cover later on. They are still strong on the current feedback tracker as well, but other things have surpassed it.

All the things on the original website roadmap were already planned things, the feature to give up to five votes (including to things like bugfixing) were to gauge interest. We implemented nearly all of the items, but in a order that we deemed fitting the needs of the game. Eco wouldn't work well without economy features, but they were voted pretty low compared to things that always appeal fancy like trains and boats. It just makes no sense to introduce trains, which req...

Actually it was, the settlement system as it is now was a plan from the beginning of trying to bring Eco to a entertainment market from the educational prototype project it was before. A full society simulation. The culture and settlement systems were listed in the poll page as well in some form. If you look around the older parts of the internet you can even find a very bad idea we had at the start of Kickstarter that allowed specific backers to use I think it was nuclear weapons (not exactly sure, I didn't work here yet back then) to be an antagonist to all other players in their efforts to destroy the meteor, so players would not only have to run against the meteor time, but also the antagonist. We did obviously not do that.

The criminal justice system expansion from Kickstarter however is also designed to allow players to actually violate laws and need to be catched to be dealt with instead of simple "You can't do this". We don't think the feature as we had it there is ...

You can still protect things outside of your initial claims within towns through the respective papers towns have, or if you enable the old way of claim distribution for learning skills, even beyond that. The way we intended to protect farms has always been district assignments, which makes it easy to protect from border-griefing that was possible just the same before as well and the most frequent reported issue on official servers together with people claimblocking. Back then, only the global government could have done that for everyone on the server, anywhere, though. Which is much more difficult to pull off than in a local town or country. The amount of claim papers now available is also bigger and more flexible compared to needing to read skill scrolls over the course of the game and then needing to get papers from other people that did the same and don't need them. And we're also discussing about making all the civics tables disconnected from the game progression to allow peop...

This thread alone has multiple comments on how people dislike doing something a specific way in Eco. (For example forced "global" currency in a settlement) The thing is, other people like to do it that way. Settlements allow smaller groups finding together to do that without it being a problem for the whole world. But some things a single settlement decides to do may go against the desires of the majority of the whole server - and then annexation is the only way to do something against that, otherwise they are potentially able to dictate what happens for everyone. Without annexation you can't remove their 100 permanently polluting objects in their settlement space that rises sea level for everyone. In any case, having big tools also always comes with big responsibility. If everyone just does what they think is the best they will find that noone wants to play with them and make them do their thing alone. A server failing that way was always a potential outcome of the game.

A...

Seeing Eco as a framework and society simulation, we try to offer tools to deal with any potential issues - in the intent that one day players will be able to do absolutely everything without needing any administrative commands in terms of self-policing, making admins unnecessary when it comes to rules and enforcement. We also have a justice system planned, though one can already be created in meta ways.

When we moved away from a global government to provide local settlements more power over their own matters (and as such making it easier for similar minded players to find together and have a more coherent local society), that also created the problem that a settlement could go rogue and do their very best to torpedo the efforts of the server community as a whole without there being any remedy to that beyond an admin. Annexations are the last resort mechanism to force the settlement into a jurisdiction where that is possible again.

There is however also tons of play...

Monday for estimated fix.
