It gets hostile predator animals in Update 9.0.

They are 4 blocks long, hence you need a flat area for 4 blocks. Other than that, you place them like any other blocks.

Thanks for your feedback. A lot of it is actually planned or already implemented with the upcoming balance changes.

One thing stood out though:
"1. Don't let people unlearn abilities. If they learnt something in life they won't simply forget everything about it."

Are you playing a old version? This is no longer possible since around Update 8.0.

Regarding lifespan of stuff, that is somethin we're currently investigating on how to do given the many issues, including stacking, that this will cause. Other ideas include upkeep costs for running machines. We're on that.

Other than that, there is also some ideas we're very unlikely to do. Requiring special people to build your house is something we had earlier in development and didn't work at all. Too much force to get collaboration isn't going to improve the gameplay, it takes away too much from the fun.

The same applies to hammering longer. Building and replacing stuff when upgrading i... Read more

We didn't promise anything. There never has been any release date announced. Stating otherwise is plain wrong. We announce our release dates about a week before they happen. All information that was given was rough estimates based on planning at that time and plans have changed several times as has been communicated in nearly every single livestream.

Even John himself has communicated on his behalf on the comments that we had the choice of either releasing with no performance improvements or getting the backend ready for notable performance improvements and monthly release cycles in the future, in exchange requiring much more time for the Update. We've chosen the latter. Either way we'd have people complain, which is very fine, as mistakes HAVE BEEN MADE (No reason to not say that) in the past we'll need to live with, but we do not need to live with people stating simply wrong information for the sake of provocation. We didn't move the release date a single time as none ... Read more

At least try to stay respectful, thank you.

If the Server started, so did the Web-Server. Unfortunately i cannot be of much assistance for networking issues, but that's the most likely cause here. Especially when you can access it via localhost.

You need to open the port in your firewall for others to be able to connect to it.

We're working on something like that for a future Update :)

No, there isn't. It's still a block based game.

Hello Scott,
yes there is. Hover next to the bar on the bottom and a black gear should appear, click on that:

A possibility is a corrupted database or turned off stats. Check your server logs if there are any DB errors.

Hello,
we need your Server Logs after you are getting this error to investigate:

Please send them to [email protected]

Try with localhost:3001, otherwise you need to open the port.
The lawmaking is partially moving to ingame, but was in the interface as Eco was originally build for schools, where teachers and pupils could look it up in the browser without having to go ingame.
