I'm not really sure if you are serious about that question. We have a lot of experienced users that know every single mechanic just by testing and exploring it, those typically also added stuff they know. It's actually a bit how Eco is supposed to work, as we on purpose do not want to explain every mechanic in-depth. It's absolutely true there is basic information still missing (which I deem normal in EA though), but we're not necessarily going to ever provide more than basic information, that takes away the exploration. And if you really need to know an answer, you can just ask or copy it from someone that found it out and put it on the Wiki. I can understand when that is a bit too oldschool for some people, but Eco is an educational game after all.

Yes, the 30% "steam tax" does not apply there.

Currently oil does not deplete, instead there is a crafting time bonus depending on where it is. In the future oil will deplete.

That's unfortunate.

The biggest problem for me is understanding storage linkages graphically in the world. the amount of time I have wasted making sure a storage is in the right spot is massive, on top of having to grind building materials for correct tier values

I'd not call it 'mini-hubs', but yes the intention is to transport everything around, just like in real life.

I do absolutely not agree, unfortunately. It's one of the most asked questions and much more important than server ads. The amount of stuff happening is not a good measurement for importance.

But I probably will remake the other pinned post, change the links that are very outdated and add other 'pinned posts' as links to it so that we can make a megathread for server-ads. Just moderating that one will probably get worse.

Hey, even though your server is liked very much the rules also apply to yours - only one ad per cycle. I hence removed this post.

Well, it's a community wiki. Everyone that complains about it, can help out changing it ;)

Yeah the wiki just recently went down, but I'm not sure why. And even when it was up, it wasn't well maintained. Absolutely needs a better version, there's a lot about this game that's not well explained.

The wiki has been replaced by https://wiki.play.eco since 14 months. It just took that long to actually get them to take down the ad-ridden old one that had zero activity anymore due to people moving to ours after removing the agreed on redirecting link two times without notifying us. I'll rather leave it at that. To say the best: I did not make any good experiences with Gamepedia.

Haha, no, that is intended.
And yes, Pineapple Friend Rice is as well :D

If I can ever find out how to make reddit allow me to pin more than two threads. Everytime i pin a third one a random other one is gone.

This happens when Steam is offline, a Steam restart should typically solve this, as long as your internet connection is fine and Steam doesn't have maintenance.

No, you don't need to water them.

I'm not aware of there being a list somewhere but the command shows items with 'skillbook' when only typing that. They're all pretty much named skillbook as well.

This usually happens when your internet either isn't fast enough to receive the masterlist in time or if some kind of security software is blocking Ecos connection to it. Make sure to turn off completely any and all security software.

The possibility of unlearning specialties has been removed back years ago with Update 8.0 and currently there is no plans for it coming back. A similar topic about this is here: https://steamcommunity.com/app/382310/discussions/8/3114771735682904174/

Yes - but priority is based on severity of an issue and the amount of players affected. As this only affects widescreen monitors, that does not affect a lot of our players, hence other issues are more pressing. I get you want to have this fixed asap and we want too, but priorisation is unfortunately required in development.

But why change it? As it is currently, managing stockpiles is already a huge hassle. I know your team likes to go for realism, but the balance between realism and fun needs to be maintained. It's not fun carrying ore out of a mineshaft one handful at a time. How are you expecting players to move products put of mines if you can't leapfrog stockpiles?

I'd not consider several truckloads full in an elevator 'one handful at a time', nor would I agree with that not being fun. It's a subjective opinion after all.

But depending on how the "fix" is implemented it will have effects on the stockpile organization work.

I only wanted to state that we consider 2 an exploit - hence on servers that prohibit exploits (there is some, including an official one) that might be a bannable offense and that we plan to remedy that in the future. That is not going to happen tomorrow and it's neither set on how it happens. We'll make sure to consider player options for stockpile managment and transportation - but manual labour is intended in that process.
