Kind of makes the game lame. SO I guess this is like minecraft but for pansies
It's the point of the game. This is not Rust, the focus is on society-building and saving the planet. Your PvP lies in different political and economical opinions and that can and does already lead to lots of drama ... Read more

Is there any way to reset your skill and or talents?

Comment
    SLG-Dennis on Steam Forums - Thread - Direct
Together with the upcoming rework of the skill system we will introduce a respec possibility for server admins that will be available to all servers in a first step. There is also plans for a player-based respec system that will be very limited and comes later. It's planned to allow you a respec of your first star, as long as you haven't played for a specific time yet and did not yet receive a second star. Additionally there will be configuration options for server admins to allow respecs going beyond that, but they will be extremely limited and / or disabled by default to ensure economic stability.

You will be able to use aqueducts for waterwheels, but no water physics yet, unfortunately.

Will animal hostility ever be a thing?

Comment
    SLG-Dennis on Steam Forums - Thread - Direct
Current research available to us actually shows that most of the animals we have do not react with aggressiveness towards humans on entering territory. Even when hunting, most of them will flee. An especially, near dead-hungered animal would likely take such a choice, yes. But in most cases they're simply not predators towards humans. So we would need to implement the 'may' as a low chance, as it's not a majority of elks that would react like this.

We currently do not plan to provide an option for that at least, so this would rather be something for a mod. In general, we want to provide a base game that is inherently up to our standards and options are only there where they make sense or are needed in regards to fine-tuning progression and balance, but not for 'features', aside from experimental ones for trying out.

Animal Hostility has been a thing but due to massive community complaints it has been turned down massively. As the community is pretty split on that point (lots of requests for it, even more complaints afterwards) and most people wish to play Eco peacefully, that likely will not become a thing again in the forseeable future. Most animals IRL also aren't actually hostile as we presented them, which is an educational problem. (Coyotes, Wolves)

Animal Husbandry is a planned feature, yes.

Developer Blog: Eco Infinite and UX focus

Post
Hey all, we’re starting our weekly updates again and have tons of work to show on Eco. Over the past year we’ve had the good fortune to double the size of the team, which means lots more in the works. We’re working on a lot of features in parallel, so you’ll see progress on a lot of these then suddenly they’re all the in game at once. As discussed in our last update, we’re focusing on a couple things with current dev:
  • A pack of features we call ‘Eco Infinite’, which expands the game to support thriving communities that don’t end at the meteor, but can go indefinitely with interesting/challenging gameplay and social connections.
  • UX upgrade, making everything cleaner, smoother, and better; especially for new users.
  • Performance! Switching the engine over to Unity’s ECS system + burst compiler which will give a giant speed up for animals, landscape generation, everything.
Here’s the deets on some of ... Read more

You shouldn't need any third-party software, actually. But it is known that Hamachi does not work well with Eco, though that is not an issue as you aren't intended to use such software in the first place. But glad it works :)

Ah, so he was looking at the tag that is pretty much a group that contains all the different crushed stone types so they're interchangable. Thanks! :)

First time I hear about that, it looks like the connection to your friend is taking a very weird route. This definitely is a networking issue on your friends side. Can you check if, when you open the law page you get to the correct law page, to none at all (timeout) or to a law page of a different server? If the latter is the case, you are connecting to your friend via our relay server, as you otherwise couldn't connect to him due to incorrect network settings.

After submitting the draft, you need to start an election for it. You can do that by pressing the reddish ballot box button on the right hand side, where other notification buttons are.

What kind of misunderstanding? If you tell us more, other people that have a similar issue will be able to find a solution via the search :)

Anyone know what happens to the EastEco server? It is showing offline and the Discord page is apparently gone?

Official servers do not 'simply vanish', that's their point. :)

Same here, Server Advertisements are ONLY allowed in the respective thread.
You CAN do posts with updates and cool content from your server, but those may NOT include anything else than the server name - no IP, no discord, no website. The main focus needs to be on storytelling and showing content, not advertising. This is cleary an advertisement and as such has to go to the respective thread.

Please post Server Ads ONLY in the respective thread for that. Post removed.

Seems like I have to delete the folder everytime I switch servers.

Thank you!

No, you should not need to do that, either there is a permission problem or one of the mods is faulty.

White-Tiger and the other officials have no mods to download, so this message appearing is worrying. I'd suggest to remove the whole Strange Loop Games folder in AppData/LocalLow and trying again. (It's a hidden folder in your user folder, you might need to change Windows settings to see it)

If that doesn't work, an additional full uninstall and reinstall would be the next thing to try. This likely is caused by mods and unfortunately we do not offer support for modded clients, but the nuclear solution should work in any case.

Would it be worth buying

Doesn't change my assessment. Eco is in Early Access and has little performance optimization yet. I obviously don't want to talk you out of buying the game if you really want it, I just can't make you hopes for fluid and fun gameplay with those prerequisites and don't want to be unhonest to you. You're very invited to try it out - on Steam you got 2 hours for refunds, on our website you got a voluntary 14 days after purchase no matter how much playtime as long as you DO NOT LINK your account to Steam.

It might have been good if you posted what specs you have as well.

Would it be worth buying

In all honesty, if it's a Laptop AND it's below minimum requirements, you'll likely not have much fun and if it works at all is highly doubtful. For example, if you have less than 2 GB VRAM or just exactly that, you'll very likely have issues. I mean you can try via Steam Refund Policy, but our minimum requirements really are _hard_ requirements.
