logging perk still uses calories

The translation for your language might be wrong or not up-to-date. The skill in english says "no additional cost" - so what it does is removing the hefty penalty for removing debris. (Which I believe is a flat 20 calorie penalty and hence the vast majority of the cost) And given your description that worked.

How many people buy the wolf plan?

Well, I'm not totally sure why the number of other people buying that tier is affecting your personal choice of buying it, but we also have Developer Tier which is much less pricey and already includes Source Code Access. The Wolf Whisperer tier is kept since Kickstarter and is for people that do have the money and the desire to simply support our efforts in the biggest possible way - nobody needs to do that :)

Don’t get me wrong. I totally love this game. I just wouldn’t play on public servers due to many of the issues in this thread and others (corporations, monopolies, etc) which cannot be solved through voting since it’s mob ruled aka democracy. They will never vote to regulate their business like politicians never vote for term limits lol. I play with a handful of friends so we actually have time to learn and enjoy the game. The original post was not asking for NPCs to take over jobs (which it actually ended up being turned into) but rather filling up my city with npcs I have to take care of. That’s it for me honestly.

I guess my definition of a casual player is not the official one. I am lucky if I can get 2 hours in each day being the mother of a preschooler. Playing for an hour each day doesn’t get me very far but that doesn’t bother me because I play with people who are in the same boat as me.

I like the labor part of eco too and would never ask for that to be ta...

On White-Tiger all those politic decisions you say aren't there do actually happen. On Sea-Otter they made a senate as well instead of direct democracy. I mean it's part of my job to look around a lot of servers, but all you said there does happen regularily on servers. With 9.2s introduction of residency senate can be consisted of senators from different regions, making it very hard for groups to get overly influence on politics. They either play together in one area and can only get one seat or they need to spread to get more seats, but loose benefits of playing together. Both is a massive reduction of power.

I got what you wanted NPCs for, but the answer here is the same - you prefer playing singleplayer, but our focus is on multiplayer and developing NPCs for people playing singleplayer instead of the intended gameplay of Eco would be development time (and for NPCs a lot) that is much better invested elsewhere, hence it is not going to happen. I guess we did our fair sh...

We plan to introduce a lot of new blocks, but I don't know any concrete details. Half Blocks might not be possible due to room calculation, though.

Just open the map, look on the right side and expand markers and click "Drop Marker".

You can't. You always see all local worlds, no matter from which steam account. That's not different for a lot of games, btw - pretty much all the ones that don't have player profiles like Eco.

I see 20 true professions in the skill tree at the moment. Do public servers or private servers retain the interest of 20 players consistently?

Edit: I have run servers before many times. I know how hard it is to keep player interest in a very grindy game like ARK, Empyrion, etc. It’s nearly impossible unless it’s heavily pvp. Eco is not like that which I truly appreciate. However, another thing players always want is logistics and not themselves doing it ALL the time without a goal of getting to the point of not doing it.

You say players like the menial jobs. Not in my experience running games similar to this. It is a rare person who enjoys that.

I unfortunately already disagree with this meaning we cater to players with exorbitant amount of free time. Eco is played in 30 days cycles and resembles society building, so playing daily is pretty much 'required' and is obvious for most people. A casual player for me is someone playing two hours after his work time. I know a lot of people of that kind that love doing what you call menial tasks through all that time and relax. Hell I know so many people that play a simulator game resembling their job (train, construction, bus, etc.) they did five minutes ago that even I question why that is - but they love it. I actually know myself very well as well and I do like digging without seeing the sunlight as well.

Official and community servers like White-Tiger do retain that interest - yes. And White-Tiger has been my former private server which did as well. It requires thought and active work by the administrators, of course. I'm hosting gaming communities and even clan-organi...

Will any planned updates require new world generation?

Comment

World generation does never get updated retroactively. A new world is recommended on every major update (10.0 being the next) or update with worldgen changes. On some major updates you might be forced to generate a new world. Keep in mind that Eco is meant for 30 day worlds mainly, even though you can play totally different if you wish to do so.

question about Beta and full release

Comment
    SLG-Dennis on Steam Forums - Thread - Direct
Beta phase started with release of early access on Steam and in our case does not mean 'feature-complete' as it does in some development guidelines. It's a normal EA title with stuff changing and getting added. :)

10 days left to make the cut xDD

January is still the current plan, but I never give any promises for those things, so it's the same here.
